The protests on Wall Street continue to grow. The rallies and their participants are showing no signs of slowing down.

Officers used pepper pray on the crowd; Fox 5 photographer Roy Isen was hit in the eyes by the spray. Fox 5 reporter Dick Brennan was hit by what he believes was an officer's baton.
Cops arrested dozens of protesters.

It would have to do what all minority organizations, small nations, labor unions, political parties or anything small, must do -seek out allies.
