Occupy Wall Street Spreads Beyond NYC


It's now been three weeks since the "Occupy Wall Street"
 protests began in New York City's Financial District,
and the movement has grown,
spreading to other cities in the U.S. 
Protesters have organized marches, rallies, and "occupations" 
from Boston to Boise, 
Los Angeles to New Orleans, 
Seattle to Tampa
Using social media, handmade signs, and their voices,
they are voicing anger at financial and social inequality
and protesting the influence of corporate money in politics.
Seattle police recently arrested 25 protesters camping out in Westlake Park,
following on the heels of 700 arrests on New York's Brooklyn Bridge last week.
Collected here are a some of the scenes from these protests across the U.S.
over the past week, as the movement moves forward with no signs of slowing.
