Naomi Wolf Arrested at OWS

It’s not just the stars who are joining the Occupy Wall Street movement: feminist author Naomi Wolf was arrested on Tuesday night when she joined protesters at an event in downtown New York that Governor Cuomo was attending. 
While the others were demonstrating against Cuomo’s refusal to reinstate the “millionaires tax," the bestselling author of The Beauty Myth reportedly told the crowd they didn’t need a permit to use a megaphone. Police had said that protesters couldn’t be outside the event without a street-activities permit.
