A woman holds a placard equating Wall Street with greed as a small group of protesters march past banks in downtown Los Angeles on October 19, 2011. Calling themselves members of the 99 percent and demanding a world that works through democracy and not corporatocracy, the demonstrators have been camped out in front of their base at City Hall in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement, as a symbolic gesture of discontent over the current economic and political climate.
