As mayors in at least two cities shut down areas that were being used to protest, Occupy organizers have said the moves will not deter their efforts.
Police fired rubber bullets and hurled tear gas Oct. 25 at protestors at the Frank Ogawa Plaza in Oakland, Calif. Several were injured and many were arrested. Oakland Mayor Jean Quan said police presence would continue around the plaza as protestors vowed to double their numbers and keep the Occupy movement going.
In Atlanta, Mayor Kasim Reed revoked his executive order that would have allowed Occupy protestors to remain in Woodruff Park until at least Nov. 7. Police forced inhabitants there to leave and placed barricades around the perimeter of the park. More than 50 people were arrested. Protestors have said they will move to another location within the city.
