Albany, NY – Since their eviction from a park near the state Capitol on the first day of winter, the Occupy Albany movement has regrouped and moved to a storefront a few blocks away. WAMC's Tristan O'Neill reports...

Members meet and organize protests and marches to help correct what they consider American democracy bent to favor the rich.

While other movements hunker down or disappear for the winter, Occupiers in Albany say they are staying for the long term.

While planning more rallies, marches and street theater, one aim remains New York's statehouse, where the Occupy Albany members say they plan to demonstrate for social change and lobby lawmakers to unshackle democracy from big money.
