Occupy Movement.

The Occupy Movement was an international protest movement against social and economic inequality. They aim to protest against political views they have issues with, yet their priority and main goal is to make the economic structure and power relations in society more equal than they are now.

There were more occupy movement protests before the Occupy Wall Street in New York City's Zucotti Park, (which began on 17th September 2011) but this was the first one to receive wide coverage. This then influenced so many more as, like the protesters were hoping, more people around the world discovered they had  the same opinion and the same views so decided to join in the fight to change something they strongly believe in, having it been in the 2 minutes since they came across it or 2 years, just finding the passion and the power to make the change after seeing someone else take the first step.

The occupy movements go about their protests in non-violent ways, only causing long term and inconvenient damage to achieve what they want: taking general strikes, picketing, internet activism. They take direct action, an approach that they feel is more likely to get them what they want.
