Protesters in New York step up actions ahead of Occupy anniversary

Occupy Wall Street protesters have staged direct actions nearly every day this week, including targeting Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim and the financial giant Goldman Sachs. It’s part of an effort to build excitement ahead of its upcoming anniversary.  September 17 marks one year since Occupy Wall Street began demonstrating at Zuccotti Park and inspired a worldwide movement.  As FSRN’s Matthew Petrillo reports, activists hope the anniversary events will re-energize the movement.
