This weekend large protests took place in Europe.
NY1 reports around 40,000 people in Germany alone.

The Huffington Post said  President Barack Obama referred to the protests at Sunday's dedication of a monument for Martin Luther King Jr., saying the civil rights leader "would want us to challenge the excesses of Wall Street without demonizing those who work there."

The Wall Street Journal reports that almost $300,000 have been donated to the movement. The movement claims its the only all union owned bank in the United States.

Other donations have included canned food, blankets and sleeping bags.
The movement is showing no signs of stopping.
