Occupy Pittsburgh was a collaboration that has included peaceful protests and demonstrations, with an aim to overcome economic inequality, corporate greed and the influence of corporations and lobbyists on government. The protest has taken place at several locations in Pittsburgh, notably Market Square, Mellon Green[2] and the city's Oakland neighborhood adjacent to the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University.[3][4] and East Liberty neighborhood.
As of June 2012, Occupy Pittsburgh had continued to engage in organized meetings, events and actions.[5]
