The New York Young Republicans have announced a “Re-Occupy Wall Street” protest in Zuccotti Park in response to brokers shutting down trading on Game Stop and other memed stocks.
The shut down of purchasing stocks caused the price to crash, helping rich hedge fund managers and hurting the lower class who were buying the stocks.
The protest will be taking place on Sunday, January 31, at noon. The organizers are encouraging people to dress warmly.
“Let your voices be heard! We are sick of Wall Street bailouts on the taxpayer dime while the little guy gets stomped!” the Eventbrite page for the protest reads.
Gavin Wax, the president of the NYYR, wrote on Twitter “we are sick & tired of bailing out the fat cats and hedge funds for their own mistakes while they stomp on the little guy for trying to make a buck. This is not capitalism.”

The scandal has made many strange bedfellows, as people from all across the spectrum having been standing up for the Game Stop traders — including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ted Cruz, and Donald Trump Jr.
Fully agree.

I wish the SEC had as much of an issue with Insider Trading as they seem to have with Outsider Trading.#RobinHood #GameStop #wallstreetbets
