Hundreds of demonstrators marched from a makeshift camp outside Philadelphia's City Hall to the site of the Liberty Bell to dramatize their call for an end to corporate influence on politics.
The protesters carried signs and marched Saturday afternoon to the chants such as “This is what democracy looks like” and “Banks got bailed out, we got sold out.”
They have been outside City Hall since Thursday in an “Occupy Philadelphia” demonstration modeled on similar events in New York City and other cities.
Once on Independence Mall, speakers addressed the crowd, their remarks repeated by the chanting crowd so that those in the back could hear.
One woman told the crowd “We will not continue to support a government that supports big corporations over people and community.”
