Occupy Faith is an ally of the Occupy movement that supports the movement due to its members religious and spiritual values. Groups are established by activists and religious leaders.[1]
In the United States, in 2011, a national gathering was held in New York City at the Judson Memorial Church. Representatives attended from a diverse set of spiritual and religious communities. A result of the gathering was a statement about the way members of Occupy Faith would be involved in Occupy Wall Street, specifically about having an open democracy, affordable housing, quality education, and other values.[1] Groups from cities, like Occupy Faith DC, join in Occupy movement events. Their viewpoints are based upon their values, like non-violence and realigning the political power of the top 1% of the country.[2] Occupy Faith UK was also formed based upon values that would improve the lives of many of its country's residents.[3]
