This a collection of photos from the Occupy Wall Street 5 Year Anniversary at Zuccotti Park Aka “Liberty Square”. It was less a protest then a reunion of Occupy Wall Street members all of whom have been fighting on a number of issues since 2011.

S17 although not a protest it was a statement that we are here and have grown into more than just the parks and, and are out in the world making real change from the fight for a 15 dollar minimum wage, student debt, environmental rights and from small homes to the halls of Congress we are there and fighting for true and long lasting change.
