The Occupy Movement has been going on since September 17th 2011 when the first "1%" of the world angered the other "99%". It was that year when the US Government bailed the banks out of trillions of dollars and debt and did nothing afterwards to justify this bold movement. So now, the 99%---that is those who are not the banks, government, insurance, or mortgage industries---have been protesting for the past year in an angered response.
But what is going on with the movement nowadays? The New York Times explains in a neutral manner how the movement is fading to the edges of political discourse. Law enforcement has driven the people off the streets, the media has been paying less attention to them, and it's leadership structure is failing. On the contrary, #occupytogether's webpage shows quite a different aspect. This website is up, running, and has thousands of contributors who blog, tweet, and express their protest daily.
Regardless of if your searching for a news article or a more personal form of media message, you seem to always get the same thing---the neutral news relaying everything in a simple, broad, factual form about the people who are protesting and why, and then the people expressing their anger and disagreement through social media bringing every little specific detail to light about what the 1% is doing wrong.
Whether you are looking for neutral news or a precise explanation, finding what's going on with the Occupy Movement is as easy as clicking your twitter app on your smartphone and follow endless #occupy hashtags that will bring you right to the source.
