Occupy Syracuse protesters continue their efforts, despite being removed from their encampment. As YNN's Erin Clarke tells us, the group joined hundreds of other cities Friday in another Occupy movement. This one focused on the Federal Court system.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- "We're constantly advocating, 24/7, people pulling 12 hour shifts to get the message across," said Occupy Syracuse protester Aaron Williams.

Occupy Syracuse protesters went on even after the city stripped them of their encampment citing safety violations.

At least for Friday, the protests moved from Perseverance Park to the Federal Court building. It's part of a national movement called Occupy the Courts that protests corporate personhood.

That is, under the law, the treatment of corporations as people, giving them the same rights and responsibilities. Protesters say based on the 2010 Citizens United Supreme Court Decision that allows corporations to unfairly influence government.

"It's proven that the more money that a campaign has, the more likely that it is that candidate will win and again if that money is coming from a corporation then that candidate is not likely to be serving the interest of their constituents," said Occupy Syracuse protester Kaitlyn Shanahan.

They're calling on local politicians to make the first steps in overturning this law.

"We want the city of Syracuse Common Council to pass a resolution calling for a constitutional amendment specifying the word constitution in our constitution refers to human beings and not corporations," said Occupy Syracuse protester Ryan Ohara.

It's one of many Occupy missions and a reason protesters say the movement will not die.
