Lobbying Blog Post #5 Occupy Movement

Posted by Tyrone Kidd in AMGOV-003 on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 1:38 pm

The Occupy Movement is an international protest movement, that is directed towards economic or social inequality. The first occupy movement was the " Occupy Wall Street" which was primarily started by a Canadian activist group called Adbusters.

We are the 99%, is a slogan political slogan used by Occupy Protesters. The Slogan originally was a name of a 28 year old New York Cities, tumblr page. I feel like its important that I ad this to this blog, because people are marching because they believe that they are the 99%. Marching because high paid people in the world, such as CEO's of big corporations are paying low tax rates and are causing this country problems.
