Journalists may have been slow to get on the train, but the "Occupy Wall Street" protests have been gathering steam, and the media is now taking notice.

This Sunday afternoon in Burlington, a demonstration will take place at City Hall Park, and one young man who plans to be there is currently at the place where it all started-Zuccotti Park in New York City.

Matt Coppe is 24 years old and lives in Burlington, and VPR’s Mitch Wertlieb spoke with Coppe Thursday by cell phone from the streets of Manhattan, where he’s been camping out as one of the growing number of demonstrators around the country.
