SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Anti-corporate demonstrators plan a march and rally Monday at the Capitol. Occupy Salem organizers say they’ll then set up camp at Willson Park for an indefinite stay.

The demonstration is part of the Occupy Wall Street movement that began early this month in New York to protest corporate power and influence.

In Portland, the Occupy Portland demonstrators have been camping in Chapman Park. Most moved out for a time Sunday to cooperate with the Portland Marathon.
