5:52 a.m. CDT, October 28, 2011 - Occupy Wall Street demonstrators are scheduled to march on five major banks and financial services firms in Manhattan Friday, a day after a California mayor apologized for violence against demonstrators that saw them tear gassed and an Iraqi war veteran hospitalized.

New York organizers say thousands of demonstrators will march to the headquarters of Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase.

Demonstrators have typically railed against what they describe as corporate greed, arrogance and power, as well as their assertion that the nation's wealthiest 1% hold inordinate sway over the remaining 99% of the population.

In Oakland, California, Mayor Jean Quan apologized Wednesday for violence that broke out this week during an Occupy movement protest.
