List of Occupy movement protest locations

List of locations of protests by the Occupy Wall Street movement From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Occupy Wall Street protests, which started in 2011, inspired a wide international response. There have been hundreds of Occupy movement protests worldwide over time, intended and organized as non-violent protest against the wealthy, as well as banking institutions.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Months before the Occupy movement began, the Movimiento 15-M planned to hold events in many nations on October 15, 2011.[7][8] The Occupy movement joined in and also held many events in many nations on that day.[9][10] A list of proposed events for the 15 October 2011 global protests listed events in 951 cities in 82 countries.[9] Protest camps were built at many of the protest locations, often near banking institutions or stock markets. Many locations had further manifestations at the following weekends until "Guy-Fawkes" day since the Guy Fawkes mask had become protester fashion. Many American Occupy groups were active until 2012, some are still active.
