The Daily Cardinal: Occupy Madison brings national protest to city “The Occupy Madison branch held its 
first general assembly meeting Friday at Reynolds Park, with roughly 200 people in attendance. Some protesters have been camping overnight, although they are not allowed to use tents or cook food. Madison police have a constant presence at the park.”
“Volunteers discussed six demands at Saturday’s general assembly meeting. The list of demands included ‘a fair and just economic system’ and ’the end of institutionalized racism, sexism, homophobia and attacks on immigrants.’ “

Cap Times:
Capitol Report: Occupy Wall Street branching out to Madison “On Friday evening, the populist Occupy Wall Street movement that echoes many of the same grievances that brought tens of thousands of protesters to Wisconsin’s Capitol earlier this year will take root in Madison.”
“Many say it was only a matter of time before the movement made its way here. Occupy Wall Street demonstrators frequently cite corporate greed and economic inequality as reasons for their ongoing presence in the heart of the country’s financial district.”
10/01/11 Wisc Journal Sentinel:“Organizers in Milwaukee, Madison and Appleton are planning rallies Oct. 15 as part of an International Day of Action in support of the protests.“
