Activists Mark 2nd Anniversary of Occupy Wall Street 
-----------------------------------------------------


 
Activists gathered in New York on Tuesday to mark the second anniversary
of Occupy Wall Street, the protest movement against economic inequality.
Demonstrators marched near the New York Stock Exchange and the United
Nations, highlighting a call for taxing Wall Street transactions and
directing the funds to public causes. Nellie Bailey of the United
National Anti-War Coalition said the anniversary of Occupy is a time to
look forward in the struggle for social change.

Nellie Bailey: "And most important lesson learn is we mud continue to
fight. We must intensify the fight. We must have more people in the
streets. That's the lesson and then we can was nostalgia all we want, as
suppose to who was there, you remember that day or whatever. But that's
not gong to get it. If we want to bring about those fundamental changes
as much of a revolutionary fashion as possible. If we move ahead with
organizing, educating and hitting the streets. That's the lessons those
are the lessons."
