Occupy DC back in 2011-2012 is probably the most popular protest on Wall Street. However, though Occupy DC was stopped by the police back in the day, activists keep on popping on the streets with new issues in dire need to solve. So, it’s no wonder if the protested issue in 2019 had changed slightly.

• Climate Change

Climate change is the most pushed issue by activists, not just from DC, but also from many different parts of the world. After all, this issue affects the whole planet, which is understandable why every part of the world will feel its impact.

Sadly, though those changes are backed with scientific studies, statistics, and predictions, the big players of the economic world don’t do any major move to turn the economic steer into a direction that is more eco-friendly. Instead, they are steering up the same way which, unfortunately, makes situation even worse. They don’t think to stop anything for the sake of profit, which is a similar attitude towards online gambling in https://multibet88.online that is profitable on the other side.

• Immigrants Issues

To begin with, immigrants moved to America to find a better job and later on a better life. However, instead of accommodating them in some way, the government closed their gates for them instead. If closing the gates is not enough, don’t forget the separation between children and parents in the border and the inhuman, unethical life those children are leading in the border these past few years.

Instead of getting better jobs to improve their economic situations, the immigrants are stuck to the border and being killed slowly in their detainment. Even though the media had compared this government’s decision to Nazi’s camp, not a lot of reaction appears from the government.

• Gender Issues

Gender is another age-old issue that has been closely related to the economy but ignored otherwise. It’s no secret that America has a horrible law regarding minimum wage, as minimum wage workers such as servers had to rely on customer tips instead. This matter got worse when gender is involved, because – thanks to the notorious sexism – women are paid less than men in that horrible economic situation. Not just the wage gap, other economic issues such as menstrual items tax and gendered medical fees are also brought up in #ShutDownDC.

Back then, the protestants were more straightforward about the economy. Now, though the issues brought up are still closely related to the economy, they had more directions to the other issues caused by the economy itself. So, instead of money talk, expect activists of #ShutDownDC talk about climate change, immigrants, and gender issues.
