Meanwhile, the movement has swelled to encapsulate much of the Bay Area. 'Occupy Oakland' topped 2,500 activists this weekend, who have set up a permanent encampment in the city's Frank Ogawa Plaza. Other offshoots have sprouted in Berkeley, Richmond, Palo Alto, Santa Cruz and even affluent suburbs like Walnut Creek and San Mateo.

"Occupy Bay Area" has even drawn the attention of national celebrities. Hip Hop icon Lupe Fiasco stopped by Occupy Oakland before his concert at the nearby Fox Theater Wednesday evening, and actor Danny Glover reportedly joined the "Jobs Not Cuts" march Saturday afternoon.

Some estimate the numbers in SF to be over 10,000 strong!
