popular tourist stops in NYC.
The protest is described by OWS as training for a worldwide General Strike on 1 May 2012. More:

US National Park Service (USNPS) police, which guard national Memorials such as the Statue of Liberty,
are monitoring the protest along with NYPD. An attempt by USNPS police to move the protestors to one
side of the steps was resisted by the protestor above while Cryptome photos and a video were made.
In answer to an inquiry about the resistance, the USNPS officer answered every question with
"they are exercising free speech."

Members of Occupy Wall Street gather on the steps of Federal Hall after being evicted from the sidewalk early yesterday morning where they had been sleeping on April 17, 2012 in New York City. As temperatures warm, members of the global protest movement have reasserted their commitment to finding a permanent presence in the financial district following their eviction from Zucotti Park last November in a dramatic police raid.
