Occupy activists sue Los Angeles over treatment in sweep

Posted on December 24, 2012

Activists with Occupy Los Angeles have filed suit against the city for what they allege was harsh police treatment as they were swept off City Hall grounds over a year ago, court documents show. An estimated 1,400 officers drove about 300 demonstrators off the grounds on November 30, 2011; the activists had been camping out for eight weeks to support the Occupy Wall Street movement against economic inequality and wealth disparities. In the federal suit filed in US District Court in California’s central district on December 20, five people are suing in the class action lawsuit meant to represent 292 people detained in the raid

Is the Occupy Wall Street Movement Still Relevant?

Posted on June 26, 2012

PRINCETON, N.J., June 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — A recent ORC International survey of American adults has found that awareness of the Occupy Wall Street movement is unchanged since the intense media coverage of the movement’s events through fall and winter of 2011 but that support for the movement has declined. ORC International updated a series of questions about Occupy Wall Street asked in late 2011 and found that 71% of Americans remain aware of the movement, even while media coverage has significantly declined and protesters have largely dispersed from the parks and fronts steps of the world’s financial capitals. The continued awareness is in part to the ongoing social dialogue that continues by both supporters and protesters of the movement.
