The "Occupy Wall Street" protests have spread to cities across America.

Beyond the main demonstration around Wall Street in New York City, rallies against the über-rich have occurred in large cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago. In New England, "Occupy Wall Street"-styled protests are scheduled for today in Burlington, Providence and Hartford. In Boston, there was a "Take Back Boston" demonstration yesterday and another event is planned for this afternoon.

In Maine, activists are meeting right now (event is from 11am-2pm) in Portland's Monument Square, as we have been reporting on the Exception.

Will you be attending the rally in Maine or one of the coinciding protests? Share your take on the events in our comments section below.

Mainers with an op-ed to share (we are nonpartisan, so they can be for or against this protest movement), please email it to editor@exceptionmag.com.
