In contrast to corporate mainstream events on Earth Day, April 22, 2014, the people in Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan, the place where the “occupy movement” began in late 2011, held a different action. People involved in various environmental ideas and groups ranging from Staten Island’s Mount Manresa, NYS’s Green Party, the divestment movement, System Change Not Climate Change, farmers and a radio disc jockey, among others, voiced their opinions in a rally using “mike check” before marching on to the NY Stock Exchange. Under a statue of George Washington, they voiced their “mike check” speeches to end the use of fossil fuels and take back Earth Day for the people and away from the corporations.
