In the latest protest against the Keystone XL oil pipeline, 25 people were arrested after handcuffing themselves together inside a TransCanada office in Westborough, Massachusetts. More than 100 students, mothers and clergy members staged a "funeral for our future," saying TransCanada’s pipeline would spur devastating climate change, pollution and potential spills.

Protesters: [singing] "They are digging us a h***. They are digging us a h***, six feet underground, where the pipeline will go."

The Keystone XL pipeline would carry tar sands crude from Canada to Texas. A decision from President Obama on the project is expected soon, after a State Department review found it does not pose a serious threat to the environment.

...hundreds of Wal-Mart workers walked off the job this week to protest low wages, poor benefits and alleged retaliation from management. Workers have promised a wave of strikes and protests next week culminating in a massive day of action on Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year.

Spyro Van Leemnen: "The issue is global, so for the first time we have a truly global movement that is bringing together people from different countries focusing on one aim: to change the financial system and how it interacts with governments, because we feel that we’re not fairly represented through the democratic system as it is now, which seems to benefit a handful of banks as opposed to the 99 percent of the public."
