The Occupy movement has made its way to the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. Protesters marched from a park nearby the Tampa Convention Center premises to a vacant lot that's become a designated "RNC Free Speech Zone."

Sheriffs on bicycles were suited for crowd control Sunday evening, guiding the protesters to a vacant lot. Although some have since camped out in the park, most leave for the night and return. Many more left Monday night because of bad weather.

Mashable reporter Alex Fitzpatrick captured the march in the gallery shown above.
