On Tuesday, they gathered again in front of Capitol Hill to raise their voice against the economic inequality in USA.
Occupy Wall Street is a protest movement which began Sep, 2011 in New York. The protests are against social and economic inequality in the US between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population. The protests in New York City have sparked similar Occupy protests and movements not only in the US but around the world.
