It's Growing

Occupy Wall Street is growing. Now we have labor and community groups joining the protest.  

Groups that will start protesting next week include United Federation of Teachers, SEIU, Workers United, Transport Workers Union Local 100, Working Families Party, MoveOn.org, Make the Road New York, the Coalition for the Homeless, the Alliance for Quality Education and Community Voices Heard, United New York and Strong Economy For All. And you've had the "pinko" celebrities speaking out: Michael Moore, Susan Sarandon, Russell Simmons and Cornel West.

As important as the support of labor and community groups is the fact that the group is getting more specific. They will support New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's position that a proposed settlement between banks and attorneys general over troubled mortgage pools is too lenient.

And they will call for an extension of the so-called millionaires' tax and a roll-back of state budget cuts.

And another city has joined the battle - Lexington, KY
