The "Occupy" movement — with protests now spreading from Wall Street to Main Streets all over the country — made its biggest local impact yet with yesterday's Occupy Tampa action in and around Lykes Gaslight Park in downtown Tampa.

(As you'll see, it's not just a bunch of 20somethings worried about their college loans.)
After the jump, read Arielle Stevenson's account of yesterday's marches and see a sampling of Shanna Gillette's photos.
