Ground Zero for Occupy Syracuse

Ground Zero for Occupy Syracuse

For nearly a week 50-100 people occupy and some spend the night at Perseverance Park on South Salina Street to protest corporate greed and income inequality.

The Syracuse movement began Saturday as a show of  solidarity to the Occupy Wall Street Movement in NYC, which began last month.
