the lobby of a Bank of America on Oct. 6 in Los Angeles, CA.
The demonstrators are marching to major bank offices to protest the role of Wall Street banks
in the federal budget crisis and in solidarity with protesters in New York and other US cities.

What started in NewYork City in mid September,
a call to "flood lower Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street,"
has continued to feed similar groups around the United States taking up the name and cause.
Groups have gathered to bring attention to many issues,
with a central focus on the economic hardships and inequality they say many Americans face.
