Over 100 Arrested at “Flood Wall Street” Protest Against Climate Change

HeadlineSep 23, 2014

Here in New York, one day after the largest climate march in history, thousands of protesters marched on Wall Street Monday to highlight the role of corporations and capitalism in fueling climate change. At a protest dubbed “Flood Wall Street,” people sat down in the streets just blocks from the U.S. Stock Exchange. They remained for more than eight hours until police deployed pepper spray and began arresting more than 100 people. The action came ahead of today’s United Nations Climate Summit, where leaders from 125 nations will discuss an international agreement to cap record emissions of greenhouse gases. We will have more on the protest and today’s summit later in the broadcast.
