Now the movement has spread other cities of US,doesn't look like it is ending any time soon. Even though there were two months in this protest, we still don't know what the protest's demands are. They are speaking out against the US financial industry, they also speaking out against many a lot of things.

They are protesting for inequality, lack of opportunity, a jobs market that is not working for everyone,too much student’s debt, and kind of they feel like even *good, that they taking outstudent debt for a placing economy that is not giving them much jobs. thathelping pay off that student debt. What are they protesting? They are protesting that is usually in Washington, and business is usually as usual on Wall Street.Those two big instruction, two big power structure in American, they think canspire to make the wealth wealthier, and not sever⁴ the middle class and poor people. When you talk to them, they say we are not gonna to drop a * listed demand. We are here the drop where  next to the number they don't like, therich getting richer, the middle are barley⁵ holding on, and the poor getting poorer. They are just fundamental unfairness. that have to go agree in bank and agree in Washington, that makes this continue.
