OGDEN -- The right of all Americans to a trial by their peers was at the heart of a protest at noon Monday by about 20 members of the Occupy Ogden movement.

Marching and chanting at the Ogden Federal Building, the protesters expressed their concern over the U.S. Senate's National Defense Authorization Act, Senate Bill 1867, passed Dec. 1 by a vote of 93-7.

OGDEN -- As controversy builds over the actions of Occupy protesters and police working to control them throughout the country, some have voiced doubt about whether protesters' actions will create social change.

"This message is not bad, it's just not how to change society," said Huiying Wei-Arthus, Weber State University professor of sociology, who is teaching a course this semester on social movement and social change.

"This issue is very emotional," she said. "Their intent is very well-stated."
