mass rallies on the anniversary of the movement to use marina portnoy as the epicenter in new york join us live here and i'll tell you it's good to see you again certainly the police there in downtown new york very busy clad in their riding gear apparently we're hearing reports they've already arrested seventeen people so far. that's right and that number is climbing according to the president of new york city's national loyal lawyers guild at least eighty five people have been arrested since the occupy demonstrators began a few hours ago on monday now of course this event marks the one year anniversary of this grassroots movement a movement that many say the u.s. has not seen in decades now it began in zuccotti park when hundreds of activists were camped out to fight up to fight against and speak out about the economic inequality in the u.s. and particularly about corporate influence on u.s. politics now when the activists were removed from their camp crowds here in new york city and throughout the country the movement did suffer somewhat of a blow because the activists were organizing
