Occupy Lovia Movement

The Occupy Lovia Movement is a group of protests around Lovia advocating peacfully for more regulations and progressive taxation. The group is based off the original and world wide protests like Occupy Wall Street. The protests started in Noble City, and have also smaller protest sites in Newhaven and Hurbanova. The protests have been met with some police challange but have overall kept the protests peaceful.

Start of Protests
In late December of 2011 the meeting of a local PPAC in Noble City, hosted an event to help unemployed people find jobs in the local area. With almost all there participants coming up short, the decided to take to the streets and started a Occupy Lovia Movement. The word soon spread around the Lovian media, with about 500 people joining in from around the Slyvanian area. The protest reached it's media climax when a giant rally of about 1700 people came out in support of the movement December 27th. Politican and former Prime Minister Marcus Villanova gave a speech in support of the cause. He sayed "You aren't a bunch of unemployed idiots, you aren't marching around beacuse you have too much time on your hands, it's beacuse the capitalist system of take and no give has left you here. You care for yourselves and the lifes you lead, and don't anyone tell you different. We stand for the unemployed worker, the Labour Union worker, and the common middle class citizen of the world. We are Occupy!" The Speech was met with much attention and was "informally" given the endorsement of PPAC and the Occupy movement.

January and Beyond
Since the begining of the Noble City protests, the Occupy Lovia movement has spread to two other cities, Newhaven and Hurbanova. Both have about 200 people living in there encampents. The movement in January of 2012 overwhelmingly voted and advocated for the Labour Party which won the popular vote and the most seats in the General election. Since the middle of January the protests have seen mroe support from other Labour Unions, the Labour Party itself (formally), and former CPL.nm and HEMPPAC member Stephen Grimsley. Stephen was also called upon, mainly from the Newhaven Occupy Movement, to create a "simple yet powerful sign to show the movement's strength". The only altercation with the police was on January 22nd, when two occupiers were accused of harrasing policemen, the charges were dropped after little prove was given.
