Occupy San Diego was one of the many occupation protest movements in the United States. Located in San Diego, California, the protest movement initially began in the city's downtown district at the Civic Center. According to authorities, it had "a growing problem with violence and mounting trash". However this assertion was disputed by protesters and eyewitnesses, since Occupy protesters have been actively cleaning the site since October, 2011.[1] It is based on the Occupy Wall Street movement that began in New York City on September 17 and is one of several "Occupy" protest sites in Southern California, including Occupy Los Angeles.
As of June 2012, Occupy San Diego had continued to engage in organized meetings, events and actions.[2]
