Yesterday, New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn released a statement in support of protesters at Liberty Square. Twelve other Council members spoke out in support as well: Lander, James, Van Bramer, Dromm, Mark-Viverito, Levin, Palma, Brewer, Mendez, Garodnick, Eugene, Williams and Sanders.
Why not ask more City Council members (there are fifty one of them!), along with Mayor Bloomberg and Deputy Mayor Cas Halloway to stand in support of the protesters and allow them to continue occuying Libery Square?
Below the squiggle is contact information for every City Council member, the Mayor and Deputy Mayor Halloway, and Brookfield Properties, the owners of Liberty Square/Zucotti Park.
I'd suggest calling a few Council members whose last names begins with the same letter as yours, or nearly so. That way the first few people on the list don't end up getting all the calls!

Statement by Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn
Re: Protests at Zuccotti Park
The protests at Zuccotti Park have captured the feelings of so many Americans who are nervous about the economy, worried about their future, and frustrated about growing income inequality. These protests have also shown why New York is a great city.
As someone who has been arrested myself numerous times for civil disobedience, I understand how important it is to make sure people's first amendment right to protest is protected.
In light of the last several weeks of peaceful protest, it is important that there be a dialogue between the protestors, the property owners, the local community, and City Hall that allows for people to continue to express their first amendment rights and allows them to peacefully remain in the park as they have been.
