duarte square

"Is it a corporation worried about fiduciary interest or a portion of the Body of Christ? Which are they? We have received our answer today by their insistence for this action."

Occupy Wall Street demonstrators arrested at Duarte Square on December 17, 2011 had their day in court this morning.

"Our savior Jesus Christ would never press charges against his brothers and sisters for walking on land, for steeping into a lot, on soil."

Following the action at Duarte Square, the crowd began marching onto Sixth Ave then up the west side of Manhattan towards Times Square.

According to the protesters' release, the are performances by Lou Reed, Craig Nelson, Titus Andronicus, and "many more" through 7 p.m., but the "possible coordinated action at 3pm" seems to be the main event.

The NYPD confirmed the arrests but couldn't confirm the charges, which a spokesperson for the strike said were for trespassing.

Occupy Wall Street has taken a new park at 6th Avenue and Canal Street, by the entrance to the Holland Tunnel.
