from the way they did it. The concise phrases they used are now part of the language so if you want to explain something regarding the inequality of wealth distribution, it is easy to do so using their language.

They has some of the best posters and symbolism also.

They were one of the most successful, at getting attention for their message, movements I've ever seen also.

And groups in major cities are working to stop foreclosures still among other things.

Also some are doing wonderful work with the homeless.
