Thousands are camped at the site in protest of the Obama administration&#8217;s economic policy that poured billions of tax dollars into bailing out banks.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe movement, called \u201cOccupy Wall Street,\u201d was organized via online social networking and bears obvious ties to the occupations of Puerta del Sol Square in Madrid and Tahrir Square in Cairo.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nSurprisingly, the movement grows stronger every day despite severe repression. On September 24<sup>th<\/sup>, the Republican mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg (the eighth richest man in the United States), ordered police to detain the occupying protesters. More than eighty young people were arrested as a result.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nOn October 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, the mayor turned to repression again, ordering police to apprehend protesters who had occupied the Brooklyn Bridge. Close to 700 people were arrested. The police used a giant \u201cfishing net\u201d to entrap the protesters. The protest, however, continues to gain strength. Film director Michael Moore, actress Susan Sarandon, philosopher Noam Chomsky and journalist Amy Goodman are among the artists and intellectuals that have joined the demonstrations.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n\u201cCome one and all to occupy Wall Street,\u201d urged Michael Moore in his blog. \u201cThis is the first time that a mass of thousands has taken over Wall Street,\u201d continued the director. The mass media of the United States, for its part, openly boycotts the protests.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe demonstration has already spread to other American cities. Mobilizations against the financial system, greed and cuts in the federal budget are appearing in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington, although these protests have not reached the scale of those in New York. In Boston, close to three thousand people participated in a demonstration on October 1<sup>st<\/sup>. Twenty four protestors were arrested.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nWill this be the beginning of the North American spring? Such a conclusion would be premature, but one thing is certain. \u201cOccupy Wall Street\u201d shows that the American people are part of the global movement of \u201c<em>os <\/em><em>indignados<\/em>\u201d that continues to grow worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Young people camp out in the financial center of the United States against the effects of the economic crisis and Obama&#8217;s economic policy. &nbsp; JEFFERSON CHOMA Writing for Opini\u00e3o Socialista (PSTU\/LIT publication) &nbsp; Wall Street, the heart of global capitalist finance, has been occupied by demonstrators since September 17th.
