For those that would prefer the protest be held at the Federal Reserve, you are more than welcome to make the suggestion to the #sept17 crowd. They are attempting to hold protests all over the country on that day and it's early enough that you could most likely get something going.

If someone can make it happen (I live in the EU), I'll pledge 5 BTC to it on these conditions:

1) the organizer also prints out flyers about bitcoin (pointing to weusecoin.com maybe)
2) the organizer promises to post photos of handing out flyers and pizzas

I'd support a protest at The Federal Reserve. Those protesters are mad at the wrong enemy.

While I too would prefer a protest against the Federal Reserve since that is really the source of corruption, Wall Street is absolutely a good target. These motherf***ers all went bankrupt then got the government to bail them out, stealing from the many to enrich the few. It really epitomizes what is wrong with america.

Blame the criminal organization which hands out other peoples' stolen money. Don't blame Wall St. for taking that money when offered to them. Remember also that some financial institutions were FORCED to take the money, so that the vulnerable ones would not be known to the public. The blame lies squarely with Washington, or perhaps with the people who vote those fools into office.

That is just human nature.  The real fault doesn't lie in those that want to cheat, because that is basically everyone.  The real fault is in those that let (or help) them cheat: the politicians, and by extension, all of us.

As many may already know, there is a plan to establish a Tahrir-style encampment on Wall street next month. Details can be found here: http://www.usdayofrage.org/

It might not be too difficult to convince a local pizza shop to accept Bitcoin in order to get some food to these campers. This would be great for both the campers and the pizza shop, and it would likely bring some positive publicity to Bitcoin itself. 

Additionally, it seems more than appropriate to utilize and promote Bitcoin at a protest over Wall Street corruption.

So what do you think?
