Supporters of the Occupy Wall Street movement celebrated its sixth month with a march from the New York City park that demonstrators seized for two months last fall.
With the city's attention focused on the huge St. Patrick's Day Parade many blocks uptown, the Occupy rally at Zuccotti Park on Saturday drew a far smaller crowd than the demonstrations seen in the city when the movement was at its peak in the fall.
Fewer than 150 people were with the march when it left the park and headed down Broadway at around 1 p.m.
Activists have said they plan to gear up with larger demonstrations in the spring.
