Occupy movement returns

In the Twin Cities, it seems nothing happened (at least as of 5 PM). Meanwhile in New York, the Occupy movement kicked off its “spring awakening” in Bryant Park with a scaled down version of last fall's Occupy Wall Street, including "free food, a skills exchange, and plenty of noise and soap-box style rhetoric."

From the Christian Science Monitor:

In New York, Protest organizers said that the goal of the day, aside from much of the anticorporate rhetoric, was to show that it was back after a relatively dormant winter.


“We want to displace the narrative that this is a fad and disappearing,” says Mark Bray, a spokesman for the Occupy movement. “We want to show that we are building a long-term social movement.”

Update:

Oh, I guess OccupyMN was out and about yesterday.
