Similar protests are under way in many cities and campuses. They're modeled on the Occupy Wall Street protest which began last month to criticize corporate greed and social inequality.
Brown freshman Ian Georgianna attended Wednesday's rally and says he likes Occupy Providence's energy and agenda. He says the movement shows great potential, but that it must translate its passion into action.
Occupy Providence participant Amanda Magee says the group tentatively plans to begin a protest Oct. 15 but has not yet picked a site.
