On Tuesday, October 25, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz joined Assemblyman Vito J. Lopez, other elected officials and union members at a rally and march from Brooklyn Borough Hall and across the Brooklyn Bridge in support of the Occupy Wall Street protests.

“There is no doubt that Americans—those in the ‘99 percent’—are hurting, and we can all agree that some of the issues being raised by these protests, including the creation and preservation of jobs, higher wages for the working class, penalties against companies that outsource jobs overseas, affordable health insurance and protection of Social Security and Medicare, are concerns we can all rally around and that need to be heard and addressed by our leaders.”
