Occupy Wall Street Walking Tour
Since September 17, 2011, Occupy Wall Street has been downtown New York’s new social experiment and hotspot. Russell Simmons, Susan Sarandon, Roseanne Barr, ice-cream giants Ben & Jerry and other celebrities have been spotted among the crowd of roughly a thousand people working for social change.
This tour will show you how the economy came to be the way it is. It will go through the Financial District to show you the New York Stock Exchange, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve, the former corporate buildings of Goldman Sachs and AIG. Wall Street, the site of the old US Slave Market until 1827, the Bull, the Finance Museum, and gambling taverns where New York’s stock markets were born, are the first part of the tour.
Next, see Occupy Wall Street from within: tour Liberty Park, see the site of the General Assembly, the Human Microphones, the Camping and Medical areas, and the Arts and Signs sections. This is what democracy looks like!
$25 cost per attendee. 10% of profits go to benefit the protestors.
[Disclaimer: Your safety is not guaranteed at all, nor is your freedom. Liberty Park is private property, and its owners want it cleared. Beyond trespassing, no laws will be broken on this tour. Police orders will be complied with and respected. If you do not follow police orders politely, you are off the tour. Tour sights depend on conditions.]
