Since September 17, protesters have been camped out in a park in Lower Manhattan near Wall Street, rallying against bailouts for banks during the recession, which allowed them to earn huge profits while average Americans suffer high unemployment and job insecurity with little help. The protest has called itself the "Occupy Wall Street" movement.
The protests are spreading to different cities of the US as well as involving different sections of workers and student youth. According to reports, rallies have been held in over 1400 cities throughout the US and around the world. University students in the US are planning solidarity actions on at least 56 campuses on October 13.
