The "Occupy" movement is an ongoing series of incohesive international protests which began in New York City on September 17, 2011 with Occupy Wall Street and are primarily directed against social and economic inequality.[4][5] By October 9 protests had taken place or were ongoing in over 95 cities across 82 countries and over 600 communities in the U.S.[6][7][8][9][10] As of October 28 the Meetup page "Occupy Together" listed "Occupy" communities in 2,355 towns and cities worldwide.[11]
Initiated by the Canadian activist group Adbusters,[12][13] the Occupy Wall Streeet protests are partly inspired by the Arab Spring movement, especially Cairo's Tahrir Square protests, and the Spanish Indignants.[14][15][16] The protests take their name from Occupy Wall Street, and commonly use the slogan We are the 99%, the #Occupy hashtag format, and organize through websites such as "Occupy Together".[17] The protests, which have been described as a "democratic awakening," are difficult to reduce to a few cohesive demands.[18][19]
Background
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7b/Inequality-by-Kenworthy.png/220px-Inequality-by-Kenworthy.png)
On May 30, ¡Democracia Real YA!, a leader in the Spanish Indignants movement, inspired by the Arab Spring,[21][22] made a call for a worldwide protest on October 15.[23]
In mid-2011, the Canadian-based group Adbusters Media Foundation, best known for its advertisement-free anti-consumerist magazine Adbusters, proposed a peaceful occupation of Wall Street to protest corporate influence on democracy, address a growing disparity in wealth, and the absence of legal repercussions behind the recent global financial crisis.[12] According to the senior editor of the magazine, “[they] basically floated the idea in mid-July into our [email list] and it was spontaneously taken up by all the people of the world, it just kind of snowballed from there.”[12] They promoted the protest with a poster featuring a dancer atop Wall Street's iconic Charging Bull.[24][25] Also in July, they stated that, "Beginning from one simple demand – a presidential commission to separate money from politics – we start setting the agenda for a new America."[26] Activists from Anonymous also encouraged its followers to take part in the protest which increased the attention it received calling protesters to "flood lower Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and Occupy Wall Street".[14][27][28][29]
Aims and methods
Initially journalists such as Shannon Bond for the Financial Times had said it was hard to discern a unified aim for the movement, though by later October Adbusters had been trying to "rally it around a single, clear demand" for a Robin Hood tax, with a global march in support of the tax planned for October 29th. [30][31]
Adbusters have been encouraging protestors to use tactical frivolity by improvising theatrics, pranks and "subversive performances". [31] The movement has been compared to the Situationists and the Protests of 1968, although according to Adbusters co-founder Kalle Lasn, this time the "stakes are much higher". [32]
Indeed, the movement has gone further to create a diverse, multi-media culture of art production and distribution, which is being archived and gathered by institutions such as the Smithsonian Museum of American History and New York Historical Society. The purpose of much of the art produced is to visually impact the mainstream through imagery to create solidarity and unity among the 99%. [33]
Activists have used web technologies and social media like IRC, Facebook, Twitter, and Meetup to coordinate the events. [34] Indymedia have been helping the movement with communications, saying there have been conference calls on skype with participants from up to 80 locations. The progressive provider May First/People Link offered cost-free memberships for dozens of groups, including in Iran and Germany, to host websites, emails, and email lists securely. Many of the movements decisions are taken by "working groups" composed of whoever wants to turn up, with more important decisions taken at "General assemblies". Some sites such as New York and London have begun to use a "spokes system", with major issues first discussed at working group level where all individual protesters are allowed their say, and then at the general assembly where a designated spokesperson summarises the views of each group. Shannon Bond reports the movement has been trying to create more efficient forms of organisation, but that no universal consensus for doing so has yet emerged. [35]
Chronology of events
The Occupy Wall Street protests began in New York City on September 17, 2011.[36] On 9 October 2011 activists in cities in over 25 countries made calls for global protests on 15 October.[34][37][38] A list of events for October 15 included 951 cities in 82 countries.[39] On October 15 events were held in many cities worldwide.[40]
Protests
United States
Main articles: Occupy Ashland, Occupy Atlanta, Occupy Austin, Occupy Boston, Occupy Buffalo, Occupy Chicago, Occupy Dallas, Occupy D.C.,Occupy Eugene, Occupy Houston, Occupy Oakland, Occupy Philadelphia, Occupy Portland, Occupy Providence, Occupy Salem, Occupy San Jose, Occupy San Francisco, Occupy Seattle, Occupy Wall Street
An October 11 poll showed that 54% of Americans have a favorable opinion of the protests, compared to 27% for the Tea Party movement,[41] and up from 38% in a poll conducted October 6–10.[42]
On October 15, the Occupy Wall Street Demands Working Group published the 99 Percent Declaration with demands, goals, and solutions.[43][44] The 99 Percent Declaration is a political document including a suggested list of grievances on which movement organizers have been trying to get protesters to vote.[45] It calls for a United States general assembly on July 4, 2012 in Philadelphia to support public works programs, tax hikes on the wealthiest, debt forgiveness, ways to get money out of politics, and amendment of the U.S. Constitution.[46][44][47] However, New York City General Assembly official statements are agreed upon by consensus, and not all participants agree with issuing demands.[47][48] The Goals Working Group may produce an alternative document.[47][49]
New York City
The Occupy Wall Street protests began in New York City in September 2011.[10] By October 9, similar demonstrations were either ongoing or had been held in 70 major cities and over 600 communities across the U.S.[10] An October 12–16 poll found that 67% of New York City voters agreed with the protesters and 87% agreed with their right to protest.[50]
Australia and New Zealand
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/20111-10-21_Occupy_Melbourne_livestream_1.jpg/220px-20111-10-21_Occupy_Melbourne_livestream_1.jpg)
"Occupy" demonstrations have taken place in Canberra, Perth,[51] Sydney,[52] Brisbane[53] and Melbourne.[54] The protests were relatively small, each attracting at most several hundred participants. At the Occupy Melbourne protest on October 21, approximately 100 protesters defied police orders to clear the area, and were subsequently removed with force. Approximately 20 arrests were made.[55]
Six cities across New Zealand have seen "Occupy" protests arise (as of October 17, 2011), namely Auckland, New Plymouth, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, and Invercargill. Protests in Auckland have drawn up to 3,000 supporters.[56]
Canada
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/Occupy_Montreal_-_Global_Day_of_Action_-_2011-10-15_-_Victoria_Square_-_General_assembly.jpg/220px-Occupy_Montreal_-_Global_Day_of_Action_-_2011-10-15_-_Victoria_Square_-_General_assembly.jpg)
"Occupy" demonstrations have been taking place in at least 20 Canadian cities since October 15. 2,000 people marched in Toronto on October 15 and around 100 continued to occupy St James Park,[57] and 1,000 gathered in Montreal to march down Ste-Catharine Street; 85 tents were set up in Victoria square. [58] In Vancouver 150 people camped out in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery.[59] Events have been concentrated in provincial urban areas, and there have yet to be any demonstrations in the territories of Yukon, Northwest Territories, or Nunavut.[60][61]
A satirical counter-protest by blogger "toponepercentcanada" has been planned for October 30th, featuring such signs as "I am the 1% - release the hounds".[62]
Germany
In Germany, Occupy Berlin together with Occupy Frankfurt and Hamburg initiated its protests outside the Reichstag on Friday 15 October. Occupy Frankfurt has now taken residence in front of the European Central Bank, and a similiar action is being prepared on the premises of the St. Mary's Church, Berlin.[63]
Italy
On October 15, 2011, about 200,000 people[64] gathered in Rome to protest against economic inequality and the influence of the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund on government.[65] Many other protests occured in other Italian cities the same day.[66]
In Rome masked and hooded militants wearing makeshift body armor, in black bloc fashion, infiltrated the protests centered in St John Lateran square and committed numerous violent acts, throwing Molotov cocktails and other homemade explosives, burning and blowing up cars, burning buildings, and smashing up property such as ATMs and shop windows.[67] The Roman Catholic church Santi Marcellino e Pietro al Laterano received extensive damage, including a statue of the Virgin Mary being thrown into the street and destroyed.[67] Several unexploded petrol bombs were reportedly found on several streets by Italian police.[67] Over 1,000,000 euros of damage (equaivilent to over 1.3 million dollars) was recorded.[67] At least 135 people were injured in the resulting clashes, including 105 police officers, several of whom were left in critical condition,[68] and two news crews from Sky Italia.[69][67] Two protesters had their fingers amputated by exploding smoke bombs.[67] Almost 20 people have been arrested in connection with the violence.[67]
Mongolia
S. Ganbaatar, the head of Mongolia’s Confederation of Trade Unions (CTU), has announced that the association joins the worldwide occupy protests of Wall Street and other high streets on 20 October 2011.[70] He claimed that bankers are charging higher interest rates from customers and corporates. As of September 2011, the weighted average annual MNT lending rate is 16% in Mongolia.[71]
Republic of Ireland
Protests were held in Dublin,[72] Cork, and Galway.[73] The Irish Times described the movement in the following terms: The group has no hierarchical structure, has set up a Facebook page and Twitter account – with the social media links attracting a very mixed, and sometimes critical, reaction. The protest in Dublin was organized by the "Real Democracy Now! Ireland," and "Occupy Dame Street" protest, set up outside the Central Bank of Ireland in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York. On 22nd October is was reported that over 2000 people took part in the Occupy Dame Street demonstration.[74]
United Kingdom
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/54/Occupy_London_Tent.jpg/220px-Occupy_London_Tent.jpg)
As part of the 15 October 2011 global protests, protesters gathered in London, Bristol, Birmingham, Glasgow and Edinburgh.[75] The London Stock Exchange in Paternoster Square was the initial target for the protesters of Occupy London on October 15, 2011.[76][77][78] Attempts to occupy the square were thwarted by police.[78][79] Police sealed off the entrance to the square as it was private property, and a High Court injunction had been granted against public access to the square.[80] 2500-3000 people gathered nearby outside St Paul's Cathedral, with 250 camping overnight.[79] The canon of St. Paul's, Reverend Giles Fraser, said he was happy for people to "exercise their right to protest peacefully" outside the cathedral and an indefinite encampment was established.[79] Additional smaller protests occured in Nottingham.[81] As of 17 October an indefinite encampment had also been established on College Green in Bristol.[82]
In Northern Ireland, Occupy Belfast initiated its protest outside the offices of Invest NI on Friday 21 October. Occupy Belfast has now taken residence at Writer's Square, in the Cathedral Quarter.[83] It is expected that an Occupy Derry will take place in the near future.
Political reaction
US On 16 October 2011 , President Barack Obama spoke in support of the movement, though also asked protesters not to "demonize" finance workers. [30]
India On 19 October 2011, Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India, described the protests as "a warning for all those who are in charge of the processes of governance."[84]
