Occupy Wall Street is an ongoing peaceful demonstration opposing what participants view as negative corporate influence over U.S. politics and a lack of legal repercussions over the global financial crisis. Though lacking in a central leader, the demonstrators have a clear goal: to begin a sustained occupation of Wall Street, the financial district of New York City. As of September 27 the Occupy Wall Street movement has spread across America, reaching cities as far west as Los Angeles, CA and Portland, OR.
