A Clean, Multipurpose Agency Theme
#OccupyWallStreet
By now if you've been watching the news (for those of you who do watch the news) you have heard of the Occupy Wall Street movement that has gotten the attention of media outlets everywhere. For weeks a small protest group had been constructing a plan to literally go on Wall Street and stage a non-violent protest. The group, which had gained a lot of cult support on social networks such as Twitter, planned to invade the district of Wall Street for up to two months until their sole demand was met. The only problem? The Occupy Wall Street movement has not said their demand for which they're protesting.
Since September 17th hundreds of protestors have been flooding Wall Street every day for what they have just called resistance to American economic practices. Although it has remained a non-violent protest, Occupy Wall Street has gained national attention for the police response they have received. Since day one of the protest demonstrators have been pepper sprayed, barricaded, arrested, and beaten for exercising their free speech in a public place. Many have seen this as a violation of the first amendment by the police, although it has continued at an alarming rate. It has raised the question of the power of the government to deny citizens their rights, and how people have grown tired of "Big Brother" and have fought to challenge it.
The Occupy Wall Street movement is still continuing as of press time with no signs of showing down. They have even gained the support of some celebrities such as hip hop star Lupe Fiasco and film director Michael Moore. Now it is impossible to see how far this movement will go, and there's a very small chance that they can challenge those who control the money and win. But with their internet support in the form of first-hand Youtube videos and instant news feeds from social networks like Twitter r and Facebook, it seems like they are beginning to get their message across. For decades now your money has been used to finance pointless organizations and personal funds, and people are sick of it. As ignorance is bliss, knowledge is power; and you have the right to know what these people are doing with your money. So it is not only occupying Wall Street, it's occupying your money, and therefore occupying yourself.
