This is an international movement, and it’s hard to keep up with everything that’s happening all over the world. Here are a few recent developments:
On Thursday, students in Rome occupied the Colosseum and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
On Friday: strikes in the Philippines, occupations in Canada, strikes and protest in Nepal, and Chile.
Something is in the air… Solidarity from Leeds!

See you tomorrow on the streets!
