Members of the Occupy Wall Street movement have vowed to stay through winter in a park near New York’s iconic financial district where they are protesting issues including the 2008 bank bailouts, foreclosures and high unemployment in the United States.
Similar protests inspired by New York’s have emerged in other US cities in recent days, including Boston, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The group has gained support by five New York labour unions as well as celebrities and academics like Susan Sarandon, Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky, Cornel West, rapper Lupe Fiasco and the musical group Radiohead.
