Protestors have declared today to be an International Day of Action, calling for people to "occupy their block," to "shut down Wall Street" starting at 7:00 AM, and to "occupy the subway" starting at 3:00 PM. We have been hearing that protestors, and the NYPD, will be amassing all over the city today, and will be live blogging dispatches from our own Village Voice staff writers Rosie Gray (@_rosiegray) and Nick Pinto (@macfathom), as well as photographer C.S.

from global rev. live feed, they are getting anxious. No one seems to know for sure what time the bell rings. Tweets are encouraging them to get violent. Pushing over the Bull seems to be the new goal. Cops appear to be protecting it. Seeing some pushing and shoving, some arrests are reported.
