GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) – More than three dozen people have marched through the south-central Nebraska city of Grand Island as part of the national Occupy movement.
The group marched on Saturday in connection with Transfer Day. Members of the Occupy Wall Street movement had asked people to transfer their accounts from megabanks that many believe helped create the financial crash of 2008 by issuing subprime loans.
The Occupy movement began in New York, decrying what protesters see as corporate greed and the growing gap between rich and poor.
Among signs the Grand Island marchers carried were ones that said “Save The Middle Class” and “Bail Out Our Grandkids, Not The Banks.”
