OccupyPhoenix

22 OCTOBER 2011 - PHOENIX, AZ: Occupy Phoenix protesters in the middle of a street in downtown Phoenix Saturday. The protesters stand in the street for as long as the Walk light is lit and then leave the street to avoid jay walking tickets. The demonstrations at Occupy Phoenix, AZ, entered their second week Saturday. About 50 people are staying in Cesar Chavez Plaza, in the heart of downtown. The crowd grows in the evening and on weekends. Protesters have coordinated their actions with police and have gotten permission from the city to set up shade shelters and sleep in the park, but without tents or sleeping bags, which is considered "urban camping," instead protesters are sleeping on the sidewalk.
