Hundreds of protestors walked the streets of Downtown Dallas Thursday to protest corporate greed in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

According to occupydallas.org, "This is a peaceful protest and we must unite as one group and make the government work for us. We will no longer foot the bill for corporate greed. We are the 99 percent! Our occupation will last as long as it needs to until we see the change this country needs!"

Dana Schultes, a non-profit artist, attended the movement to speak out for her beliefs.

"Im here because I'm sick of our country being controlled by corporate politics," she said. "The change starts right here by turning off the television for a while to help organize and spread awareness in the streets. Television and media has become part of the problem choosing to sensationalize what they wish."

Many camped out at Dealey Plaza, the JFK memorial, Thursday night. A few dozen planned to repeat the protest throughout the night on Friday.

"Nothing more will change today except that more people will know about the movement toward ending corporate greed's control of our country," Schultes said.
