The Occupy Wall Street movement is probably the most important political protest in the world right now

Thousands of protesters from the Occupy Wall Street movement marched through Lower Manhattan last night and brought the area to a halt. This political protest, which has been going on since mid-September, is probably the most important anywhere in the world right now.

See here for the powerful speech Naomi Klein gave last night about the Occupy Wall Street movement. See here for The Guardian's live blog about the protests. See here for the Avaaz petition supporting the movement. And see here for the Occupy Wall Street website - if it isn't down because of the number of people around the world trying to access it!
