"Occupy Wall Street" Protesters Say Rain Not A Factor - NY1.com: oday's rain is doing little to dampen the "Occupy Wall Street" protests, which are still going strong downtown.
Demonstrators remain hunkered down in Zuccotti Park.
Participants this morning could be seen spreading tarps on the ground, and using them as tents to try and stay dry.
"I have all my stuff stored away in dry places right now. I'm maintaining my dryness as good as possible," said one protester.
"Since police wont let the tents be here, that makes it a real challenge, it's like a little game, we have to do it with tarps," said another.
The "Occupy Wall Street" movement has been going on for over a month and, to date, has seen donations amount to $435,000.
The gathering has also gained the attention of local and national politicians, as well as celebrities, the latest being actor Alec Baldwin.
After announcing his interest in visiting Zuccotti Park on Twitter on Tuesday, Baldwin showed up early this morning saying just hearing about the protests wasn't enough.
