PHOTOS: Occupy Iowa City Holds Vigil Protesting Occupy Wall Street Eviction

About a dozen members of Occupy Iowa City gathered Tuesday night in College Green Park to hold a candlelight vigil in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement, following the eviction and arrests of OWS members at Zuccotti Park earlier in the day.

Occupy Iowa City members stood in a circle lit by candles at the center of the park and used a light to illuminate blog accounts from the Occupy Wall Street members who recounted the experience of the eviction and sounded a call to continue their efforts.

"You can't evict an idea whose time has come," read Shay O'Reilly, a member of the group.

After the reading, the group was set to write letters in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

The group's vigil was held at the same time as a by Occupy Des Moines. Earlier in the day, Occupy members across Iowa said they would regardless of what happens with the encampment in New York.
