ALBANY, N.Y. -- With one of the biggest shopping days of the year starting at midnight, Occupy Albany demonstrators turn their attention to a new cause - urging shoppers to buy locally.

The Occupiers are boycotting Wal-Mart, saying they oppose some of the retail giant's employee policies. They also say there are plenty of other buying options to keep money in the community.

Wal-Mart employs nearly two million people in thousands of stores across the county.
