The Occupy Wall Street protests, which have spread to about 70 cities, are now reaching the South Fork.

'Occupy the Hamptons' is planned for Saturday on the in Sag Harbor, starting at 4 p.m.

"We'll meet to support Occupy Wall Street ... and see what develops," said James Monaco, in an invitation he created on meetup.com. "Please help spread the word. As we used to say in the '60s, if you're not part of the solution, you are part of the problem."

The invitation was duplicated on Facebook, and between both websites about 30 people have RSVPed to the protest as of Wednesday morning.

Unlike the protests on Wall Street, which have continued for weeks and include demonstrators camping overnight, the Occupy the Hamptons flyer says the event will end at 7 p.m., after just three hours.
