Protesters in New York voiced their concern over legislation that would grant phone companies a federal franchise to offer TV service. They also oppose legislation that does not provide any protection for Net neutrality.

In addition, the group used the opportunity to voice concern over the phone companies' alleged cooperation with the National Security Agency to assemble a large database of Americans' phone records.
