#OCCUPYWALLST | Sotheby’s
A group of Occupy Wall Street protestors joined union workers outside Sotheby’s auction house on Thursday, October 20th. Unionized art handlers have been in a 3 month long labor dispute with the auction house. Sotheby’s wants the workers to accept wage cuts, even though the company sold $3 billion worth of art in the first half of this year and gave their CEO a 125% raise from last year. Bill Ruprecht, the Sotheby’s CEO, now makes $60,000 — A DAY.

#OCCUPYWALLST | FOLEY SQ
After more than twenty labor groups and unions pledged solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement, thousands and thousands of protestors met on October 05 at 4:30 to march from Folly Square to the Financial district.
Together they protested the injustices of corporate control, the ineptitude of the current government, lack of working class representation, and the damning financial and moral burdens of imperialism.
What was once a small group of highly educated, mostly white, students and youth occupiers numbering in the hundreds, transformed into a massive democratic demonstration representing a huge variety of races, ages and classes numbering in the thousands.

On October 1st 3,000 – 4,000 people gathered to attended the SlutWalk NYC rally and march. The diverse crowd, primarily made up of young men and women, marched from Union Square through the East Village and past the 9th Precinct (former home of the alleged NYPD rapists Moreno and Mata) chanting; ‘Hey Rapists Go Fuck Yourself’ and ‘No means no – however we dress, where-ever we go!” The march coincided the day after the Wall Street Journal posted a story on Brooklyn cops telling women to ‘cover it up’ in response to ongoing series of sexual attacks in the Park Slope neighborhood.
SlutWalk NYC is a grassroots movement that challenges rape culture and victim-blaming, which works to end sexual and domestic violence.

On September 17, an impassioned group of students, activists and veterans descended on Wall Street to set up a peaceful encampment and hold a people’s assembly in nonviolent civil disobedience to the commodification of contemporary society and the bank bailouts.
On September 30th rumor spread over twitter that an impromptu concert by the band Radiohead was going to take place at approximately 4pm in Zuccotti Park. Thousands showed up to see the concert, and although the rumor turned out to be false, hundreds of spectators joined the preexisting occupation and marched to occupy 1 Police Plaza in protest of the brutal arrest of some 80 protestors the day before.
