whether they were fighting the power
fighting for equality or fighting for
the lives of others these protests will
stay in our memories forever people are
building barricades to keep the police
out or try to welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top ten 21st century protests
when the police tries to intimidate the
testers and blocking the way people
stood their ground and kept going
forward for this list we focused on
major protests or social movements that
happened in or after the year 2000 and
rank them based on their importance and
impact on society concentrate on that
concentrate on bringing unemployment
down taxes down making Spain a better
place to live
number 10 the umbrella movement Hong
Kong we don’t set it for ourselves today
then walk over us coming about during
the Hong Kong protests of 2014 this
political movement uses an umbrella as a
metaphor for their solidarity in
fighting against Hong Kong’s government
at the time the government had passed a
decision to make major pro-government
changes to their election system
[Music]
oh yeah I have evidence okay hmm don’t
know y’all got hope I don’t see high in
response crowds that would sometimes
reach 100,000 at a time would protest in
favor of democracy and use umbrellas to
defend themselves against pepper spray
which by itself caused more people to
get involved the movement continued as
of mid-2015 I’m gonna go say hi my my
Lee keno hey Mon seek a try yo Malik is
rising you’re him oh god I got Oh
vocalizing hey I’m dumb I’m more falling
anymore
number nine Occupy Wall Street USA and I
was at a just pepper spray they just put
we already pushed back as far as
possible and they just pepper sprayed
everyone they called themselves the 99%
and they came out in full force to fight
against the remaining percent in the
equation beginning in September 2011 at
New York Zuccotti Park in the city’s
wall street district OWS saw people come
in droves to occupy the park as a form
of protest against wealth gaps and lack
of opportunity in the US and that’s what
I love about this so far that people are
seems to come from a place of love some
celebrities and musicians rallied in
support of the movement while protesters
also occupied places like banks and
foreclosed homes it helped to ignite the
worldwide Occupy movement which
protested global inequality and
continues to this day
as various groups around the planet work
toward common goals number 8 the Gulabi
gang also known as the pink sari
movement India three boys come the
picker up today prodded through her they
walk away they have absolute impunity
and they have good reason to believe
that nothing will happen to them with
rape and domestic abuse having already
been a big problem in the country
beforehand it was time for women in
India to stand up against violence
against women with that the pink sari
movement began a group of women called
the Gulabi gang banded together to raise
sticks against violent men and wear pink
saris as a metaphor for strength I got
on you to meet one ícaro
he police van L got so much magic the
group has been active around North India
since 2007 and continues to fight not
only against oppression and abuse
against women but also against child
marriage but ever since the birth of the
Gulabi gang there has been some
improvement some women can input some of
their right number seven the LGBTQ
movement Russia the government has not
taken any care to defend homosexuals who
are being harassed and murdered by
organized groups of neo-nazis while the
movement isn’t a 21st century invention
it really began to gain steam in the
2000s normal famine is real families are
ten times more stronger than this
so-called same-sex couples and unions
not exactly known for embracing the
LGBTQ community or as the Republic under
President Vladimir Putin puts it
non-traditional sexual relationships
mass protests were held in Russia ahead
of 2014’s
Sochi Olympics it seems to me that the
law we adopted doesn’t come anybody
what’s more people homosexual people
can’t feel inferior here because there
is no professional career or social
discrimination
against bellman this occurred after
Putin passed a controversial law banning
gay propaganda in 2013 which caused
major uproar among the gay community in
Russia and worldwide other examples of
dissent against the Russian government’s
decision-making around this time include
FEMEN flashing Putin as well as the
fallout from Pussy Riot going to jail
for hooliganism number six
Daisy Park protests Turkey welcome
Museum Kanimozhi are busy economist I
can come visit Conan was what started
off as a small protest against the plans
to bulldoze trees in Istanbul Taksim
gezi Park to create a shopping mall
turned into something much bigger these
protests ended up being about freedom of
the press and expression
the desire for fair elections and
against intrusion by the government on
secularism in the country lasting almost
three months during 2013 these
demonstrations and periods of civil
unrest were a response to brutal police
treatment of a peaceful sit-in
protesting the urban development plan
are there a lot of people coming into
your emergency clinic yesterday there
were approximately five on five
permanent people yeah and some of them
they were badly hurt up to twenty two
people were killed with thousands more
injured but the plans for redevelopment
of the park were thrown out
[Applause]
number five the ferguson unrest USA a
major example of something that has
unfortunately become a problem in the
u.s. in recent years on august 9th 2014
an unarmed black teenager Michael Brown
was shot and killed by a white policeman
in Ferguson Missouri the officer gets
out of his vehicle and pursues Michael
as he’s shooting his weapon Michael
jerks his body as he changes hitting he
turns around face the officer and puts
his hands up and the officer continues
to shoot him and so he goes down to the
ground the next day the first wave of
both peaceful and violent protests in
Ferguson began and lasted just over two
weeks in November of that same year
another wave of protesting began after
the officer Darren Wilson was not
indicted for his crimes in connection to
both waves of protests 211 arrests were
made and more than 15 people were
injured a third wave of protests and
civil disorder began on the first
anniversary of the shooting and lasted
for approximately two days number four
the anti-austerity movement Europe many
companies with a lot of profit they are
laying off many people you know and we
had to know that we are living their
worst crisis in the last 70 years after
the beginning of Europe’s debt crisis
caused in large part by Greece not to
mention the worldwide recession starting
in the late 2000s the anti austerity
movement began across Europe following
orders by the International Monetary
Fund and World Bank for governments to
reduce spending on social safety nets as
well as many other reasons mass protests
happened in affected countries like
Spain Ireland and Portugal we have no
government we are being robbed so I’m
here to demonstrate my discontent
because it’s enough in 2015 Greece would
become the first country in the
developed world to default on the IMF
with anti austerity actions continuing
on throughout the year the voice of
workers is saying don’t go for austerity
don’t do what your predecessors did in
the 1930s don’t cut all of you at the
same time
and risk the results that they had in
the 1930s which was a great depression
number three the Orange Revolution
Ukraine they shoot us if they send tanks
no matter what there’s nothing that can
overpower the well other people while
the 2013 year on Maidan protests were
also a contender for this list we’ve
given the nod instead to this protest
movement from the earlier part of the
century
Stella screaming Jenna was live at their
peak today Brittany is Lucia Anna’s new
day for two months in the Ukraine people
protested in large numbers against the
controversial outcome of the country’s
2004 presidential election which was
shrouded by fraud extreme corruption and
rigging in favor of candidate Viktor
Yanukovych following the protests which
included civil disobedience sit-ins and
strikes the original election results
were annulled and a second election was
held with his opponent Viktor Yushchenko
winning
[Music]
number two anti-war protests of
Afghanistan and Iraq worldwide it’s hard
to think of any one event that has
brought so many different and nation’s
protest movements together in that way
although the International Solidarity
movement was also in the running for
this list there was no way we couldn’t
include the one that ultimately made the
cut stop the massacre on us out of that
edge these protests have run for almost
a decade and a half and they’re still
going strong ever since they began a
month after 9/11 the wars in Afghanistan
and Iraq have caused protests in many
different countries particularly in the
Western world the wars themselves have
caused the loss of over 31,000 lives and
cost billions of dollars before we
unveil our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions

them the decay they are coming from
their burrows and groups you know and
they’re all you know coming in front of
the Ministry of Interior asking for the
resignation of the president these
protests didn’t end that long ago but
the effects they’ve had on the Arab
world will be felt forever starting in
2010 in Tunisia the demonstrations would
spread to many other countries and non
Arab country Iran would see major
protests as well whether violent or
nonviolent they had a huge impact on
many Arab countries leaders of nations
like Egypt Tunisia and Libya would be
forced out of power and many other
countries would see their governments
shaken profoundly by the movement it was
like someone who were asserting us who
were treating us like dirt at this
moment I I told I told my friends it’s
