Main article: Occupy Wall Street

Protester on September 28, 2011 (day 12): Zennie Abraham in the San Francisco Chronicle said on October 1 that the Occupy Wall Street protest "signals the start of a movement".[1]

The following is a timeline of Occupy Wall Street (sometimes called OWS or #OWS) which began on Saturday, September 17, 2011[2] as an occupation of Wall Street, the financial district of New York City and is an ongoing demonstration.[3][4]

OWS was preceded and partly inspired by the Arab Spring and Greek, Spanish, British, Chilean, and Israeli protest movements. A precursor in the United States was the 2011 Wisconsin protests occurring from late winter through the spring.

According to 15october.net, as of October 15, 2011, the protests spread to more than 1,000 cities in 82 countries and formed a single global protest.[5]

  • September 19 (day 3) – The stock market opens on Wall Street for regular business. Keith Olbermann, of Current TV, becomes the first major journalist to focus on the protests. A couple days later, Olbermann criticizes mainstream media (MSM) for failing to cover Occupy Wall Street, saying, "Why isn't any major news outlet covering this? ... If that's a Tea Party protest in front of Wall Street ..., it's the lead story on every network newscast."[16] Olbermann now devotes every program to the protests, interviewing union leaders and members, eye-witnesses and protestors. Many other major news sources begin to publish articles on the occupation[17] and Occupy Wall Street caught some mainstream media attention across a wide variety of sources.[18]
  • September 20 (day 4) – Police arrest mask-wearing protesters, using a law dating back to 1845 which bans masked gatherings unless part of "a masquerade party or like entertainment".[19]

  • September 25 (day 9) – YouTube discloses that the hacktivist group Anonymous uploads a video around 4:30 pm on this day, threatening the NYPD: "If we hear of brutality in the next 36 hours then we will take you down from the internet as you have taken the protesters[sic] voices from the airwaves."[28]
  • September 26 (day 10) – The name of the police officer who maced some young women on September 24 is revealed as Anthony Bologna.

  • September 27 (day 11) – An OWS afternoon march ends not at Wall Street but at a rally by postal workers protesting against a five-day delivery week.

  • September 29 (day 13) – Pulitzer prize-winning reporter Chris Hedges publishes a column in strong support of OWS.[42][43] TWU Local-100 uses Twitter to urge members to take part in a "massive march and rally" on October 5.[44] There are unsubstantiated claims that the October 5 event is now co-sponsored by another eight labor and community outreach organizations.[44] Meanwhile, protesters in San Francisco attempt to occupy Citibank, Chase, and attempted to enter a Charles Schwab financial institution, with some media outlets citing OWS as the inspiration for the spread of such protests which are occurring more frequently around the nation.[45][46]

Howley claimed to have participated in the events that prompted the museum to close in order to write a first-person humor piece. Commenting on the incident, an activist at Occupy Wall Street said that there were "obvious provocateurs" in the movement, and that a committee had been set up to identify and warn others about them.[60][61] Meanwhile, at Zuccotti Park, Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek addressed the crowd and expressed support for the protests[62] during one of several "open forums" conducted throughout the day around Zuccotti Park.
