The several hundred marchers have just hit Washington Square where several hundred more were waiting.



"Take the square!" they chanted as the poured in through the giant arches.



"Now the whole world can hear us and we have a message for them - we are here. We are staying. And we are really, really, pissed off," said Mark Diamond, 28, a student at NYU.



"Change begins here and now," he said.



Several marchers beat drums played cow bell, and one man played sax as they circled around the inside of the park to cheers and applause.



Park security stationed itself in the grass to prevent protesters from leaving the sidewalks.



"This is what Democracy looks like," they chanted..along with "We got sold out. They got bailed out!"



Different circles around the park focused on different aspects of the "movement" - including a health care forum and a "students ally with labor."



It was eclectic. A communist organization was handing out literature. A few Ayn Rand advocates were holding "End the FED" signs.



"I'm here to voice my discontent to end the wars, tax the rich, clean up the environment," said Scott Mccullion, 56, Ocean City, Maryland.



"In 72 I marched against the war. Now I'm active again and it feels great. Everyone is energized. It's contagious. It's revolution."



Labor Unions were also strong in number. Especially UAW members.



"Inequality is at a ridiculous level. The top one percent wields all the influence. We are here to take it back," said Chris Garcia, 22, Maspeth, Queens.
