Hundreds of Occupy protesters from across the country gathered in San Francisco Tuesday for a massive demonstration at the banking giant Wells Fargo’s annual shareholders meeting. Several dozen activists had purchased company stock and were allowed inside. Police said two dozen people were arrested, including 15 who disrupted the meeting. Protesters inside shouted for Wells Fargo to pay a fair share of corporate taxes. They also condemned the company’s investment in private prisons and called for an end to foreclosures. Meanwhile, protesters outside the city’s Merchant’s Exchange Building blocked the street, chanting, “We are the 99 percent.”
