The Occupy Wall Street movement started two months ago today, on September 17th, in New York City.

Now -- protesters across the country are participating in what they’re calling a “mass day of action.”  ABC’s Good Morning America explains what’s happening in NYC.

“Their plan, as you say, is to march on Wall Street and try to shut it down by blocking people from getting into work. Reportedly some of the protesters will dress up in suits and ties to try to blend in with the business people.”

Fox News reports the marching won’t stop there. Protesters will leave Wall Street and continue on the city’s subway system, before meeting downtown and marching across the Brooklyn Bridge.  

The movement extends beyond the demands of protesters in major cities.  ABC News reports college students want to get something out of this, too.

“Student protesters in San Francisco showed their commitment, taking over a bank. Police removed them by force.  The students are demanding the same things that occupiers from Portland State University want- lower tuition costs.”

So what’s next for the Occupy Wall Street movement? Earlier this week New York Supreme Court judge ruled protesters couldn’t camp out in Zuccotti Park, but Student Life reporter Molly Gott says the movement is far from over.

“I hope that the actions across the country today make it clear that the Occupy movement is not ending anytime soon, and inspire more people to participate. Then, Occupy can start having serious and difficult conversations about how to transition from symbolic victories to real victories, from social change to political change, and from a problematic present to a more just future.”


Still -- two months in and the movement continues to have its skeptics. Here’s how a Fox News reporter described what he saw.

“What they're trying to do is disrupt the lives of New Yorkers to make their point."..."One woman yelled at them saying are you going to feed my kids when they asked her to join her demonstration.”

At last check, CNN is reporting police arrested 75 participants in New York, and another 25 in Los Angeles.  Meanwhile the fate of Zuccotti Park may not be sealed.  The Fog City Journal reports representatives for the protestors have until December 1st to challenge the ruling, but contributor Ralph Stone says he thinks the eviction will stand.
