Our Livestream is Down! We'll be posting photo and videos as they happen!
There have been no arrests, unlike what we expected! Perhaps it's because a lot of the marchers are white men in suits?
We Are the Other 99 is an independent media group which has been bringing you unfiltered and unfettered information from the Peaceful Occupation of Zuccotti park. Some of our contributors have been on site since day one. We will continue to keep you updated with all the news from the front. Please donate to support our vital work.
10:06 AM PT: For those without video, I'll be keeping you updated. Protesters are wearing suits and carrying American Flags, chanting "To the Bull!" Or "Take the bull!" About a dozen in suits followed by media, followed by supporters.
10:08 AM PT: NYPD on scooters following protesters, as protesters march the five blocks to the Wall St Bull, chanting "Sieze the Bull!" Marching slowly down broadway. This is a legal march on a public sidewalk as long as the marchers keep moving!
10:12 AM PT: Protesters chant "Brokers and Police for the Occupation!" This is being called a "Highly Arrestable" act of civil disobedience.
This is a blitz-march. Lighting fast, no prior warning. It was planned via a "Mic Check." Only three or four scooters are with them right now..
The Broadway Bull is currently barricaded, and has been since 9/17.
10:21 AM PT: As protesters continue to march towards the wall St Bull, we have more news about the chemical attack in Maine last night.
Horace has a good diary on the issue: http://www.dailykos.com/...
It's now being reported that one protester temporarily lost hearing in one ear. Potential loss of range of hearing, in any situation like this one. http://uleak.it/...
We're being attacked by terrorists now. Lovely.
As for our UStream, our reporter is streaming live video from his phone. This means that we will have temporary outages. Refresh the page occasionally, and you'll get back in when the stream comes back up.
10:26 AM PT: Protesters are continuing south towards the wall street bull, as a police presence continues to grow.
"Mic Check: We are here to thank the police for their work, and that is why we ordered Pizza and it should be here at any minute, but we are still waiting for it. But anybody is welcome to join us for a pizza party in about about ten minutes."
THEY'RE INVITING THE NYPD TO A PIZZA PARTY.
10:35 AM PT: Pizza Party at the broadway bull. Our reporter is feeding us information, and our livestream is DOWN for the moment. Here's what we have.
Protesters are at the Wall St Bull for a Pizza Party. Police are invited.

10:43 AM PT: The Bull is completely barricaded: http://twitter.com/...
10:44 AM PT: That last pic was taken on day 38 of the occupation, just to give you an idea of what's going on.
10:50 AM PT: So, the Pizza has not arrived, and the NYPD has decided that this march isn't worth their time. The police are gone.
An interesting response after Bloomberg threatened a tougher response. Looks like there's going to be a peaceful, uninterrupted pizza party in front of the Wall St Bull!
We'll get videos of the march up soon.
10:52 AM PT: Brokers and police for the occupation are having a pizza party at the Wall St Bull. The police are leaving them be. Fascinating.
We're trying to find out who these guys are.
10:57 AM PT: We're now checking up on something. One of our marchers looks like one of the yes men.
10:58 AM PT: I'm trying to get you pictures now.
11:04 AM PT: Ladies and gentlemen, the Yes Men participated in this march. There will be a lot of footage soon. The Yes Men were hangers on, this was a spontaneous march.
We have a series of videos, we'll be posting them soon, and I'll try and get some scene grabs for those without video capability. Pizza is still MIA at the moment.
11:06 AM PT: Full video report from our man in the field. I'll work on a transcript for you.

11:15 AM PT: Transcript of that video. Shots of protesters and police:
So what we have is what seemed like a very quickly organized march, at least to this reporter, of men in suits with chants of "Brokers and police for the occupation." We first went down Wall St and then doubled over. The plan was to come to this, the broadway bull, which has been barricaded since day one. You then saw several dozen arrive at the bull. They then anounced that this was an impromptu pizza party, and that the NYPD would get the first slice.
Here's an image for those who cant run our videos: http://twitter.com/...
11:18 AM PT: As they arrived, an NYPD officer approached, smiling, and explained that they needed to keep the way clear. He shook hands with many of the protesters:

"You have to clear the walkway so that the people can walk," he said, smiling, as the protesters cheered him.
11:20 AM PT: At this point, the NYPD has decided that these protesters are completely harmless, and have returned to the staging area near Zuccotti park. Some of the marchers have left. About three dozen are gathered now in front of the wall st bull.
11:21 AM PT: We've got more video from the march we're working through. We'll get that up for you shortly. I'll transcribe that for you as well.
11:25 AM PT: In this video, protesters wearing suits carry signs that say "Brokers and Police for the Occupation" and chant "It's out pension too!"

11:25 AM PT: That last video from the march down Broadway to the bull.
11:29 AM PT: Here's the full Seven Minute live video of the march. Marchers are chanting "TO WALL ST!"
Video streaming by Ustream
They crossed broadway ONTO Wall St! This was the first time that I know of that protesters have been allowed to march onto Wall St!
11:30 AM PT: "Castrate the bull!" was one of the chants on today's march.
11:38 AM PT: One of the strategies used by the Marchers was illustrated today was the tactic of a rapid route change. The protesters marched onto wall st, and then abruptly turned around and changed directions.
Route changes and location changes have been a typical tactic of the marchers this week.
Our reporter has left the scene to get to a scheduled interview.
There are now a handful of people calmly waiting for Pizza. If you're in the area and on your lunch break, you might want to head down.
That wraps up our coverage of this event.
We're in the process of putting together a post on Michael Moore's interview this morning. We have about an hour of video with Michael, and we'll bring that to you as soon as possible.
Thanks again for staying with us.
