Drawn-out conversations/opinions about Anonymous aside, the OP did also ask why these folks and many more are currently on Wall Street. Without going too much into detail, the protest itself is called Occupy Wall Street. It is not made up of merely Anonymous members, though many Anons have obviously joined the cause. It is a gathering to protest corporate greed, mainly, and all that comes from it. It's in response to the most recent economic troubles both the USA and the world has been experiencing, though the former is the main focus. It's noted for bringing together people of all walks of life and factions, so certainly don't think for a second that this is one group heading this up, unless you're referring to the OWS faction as a whole. The goal is namely accountability, though many different people and groups have their own purposes.
Just wanted to make sure no one had the idea of this protest as some silly Anon protest about nothing, at least without knowing specifically why the protest was called at first. It was originally set into motion by a Canadian organization known as Adbusters.
