With high spirits and chants of “We are the 99%!”, a dozen marchers headed South from Albany to Stuyvesant, New York. The weather for the kick-off was beautiful. Labor leaders and State Senator Breslin, State Assmeblymember McEneny and others joined CWA Vice President Chris Shelton to rally up the crowd in front of the Verizon building, across from the State Capitol and Occupy Albany. Marchers were warmly greeted upon arrival in Stuyvesant, with some locals bringing refreshments to share with the group. Some of the marchers wanted to Occupy Stuyvesant after that but Friday is another big day to send a message to the 1% at Verizon. Onward!
