Occupy Wall Street Raises More Than $450,000

The Occupy Wall Street movement didn’t set up to become a big fundraising operation, but it has already spontaneously attracted $454,000 in cash from some 8,000 online donors and other supporters to finance the protest in Zuccotti Park.

Many other contributors are providing food, clothes, blankets and other items. So much has been flowing in that organizers have started to send money, goods and financial advice to “Occupy” protesters in other cities.
