Twenty Occupy Wall Street protesters marched through Jersey City this afternoon during the first leg of their planned march to Washington.

The group ferried over from Manhattan to Exchange Place, then walked along Grand Street to Communipaw Avenue where they walked across the Lincoln Highway Bridge -- also known as the Police Officers Shawn Carson and Robert Nguyen Memorial Bridge -- into Kearny.

They hope to arrive in Washington by Nov. 23 -- the deadline for a congressional committee to decide whether to keep President Barack Obama's extension of Bush-era tax cuts. Protesters say the cuts benefit only rich Americans.
