Donations of hats, boots, socks, gloves and other winter clothes are coming in, and the campers are working to find ways to stay warm and powered after the NYPD took six generators away from them Friday.

Editorial Cartoons
The Democratic 2020 presidential hopeful might never have made it on the national stage without real estate investor William Sanders.
The Democratic presidential nominee hasn’t held a news conference in more than 260 days, despite growing concerns about her use of a personal email server and the role of the Clinton Foundation during her tenure as secretary of state. (Pictured, Martha's Vineyard, a Massachusetts island where Clinton raised funds last weekend.)
The struggle against the corporate stranglehold on our democracy won’t be conducted in courtrooms or legislatures. It will arise from below, in organized, mass demands for change.
Sanders' presidential campaign announced that it raised an eye-bugging $26 million in the third quarter -- essentially matching the $28 million raised during those three months by Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
