A little wintry weather was not expected to slow down Occupy Wall Street protesters Saturday as they prepared to head into Jamaica, Queens to voice their concerns on the issue of foreclosures.
A rally was also planned later in the day at City Hall Park, and CUNY students were being invited to march down to Zuccotti Park to protest rising tuition rates.
On Friday, protestors marched to Midtown to deliver more than 6,000 letters to the CEOs of five major banks.
The letters are personal stories of those who lost their jobs, and their homes.
Marchers said the CEO's should feel shame over what they call the "rampant greed" of the banking industry.
"One percent of the population owns 40 percent of the wealth. That's incredibly unequal and unjust," said one protester.
"I can't imagine why anyone would not support people who want a fairer society," said another.
NY1 reached out to the banks for comment, but only two responded.
Citibank says it will read the letters and follow up with customers as needed.
Wells Fargo says it is committed to helping those in financial trouble find solutions.
Meanwhile, protesters are riding out the storm without some of the heat sources they've relied upon in the past.
The New York City Fire Department conducted a surprise inspection Friday and confiscated several power generators and gas cans.
