The Occupy Wall Street movement has spread throughout the nation, giving birth to protest in cities across America. The protests have spurred thought about our government, societal structure, educational system and more. At a time when the economy has tanked and so many people are struggling to find jobs and opportunities, the call for change has taken on many forms. The Occupy protests have inspired some stunning art pieces, but one creative project thinks a little smaller.

 

 

 

Spotted recently in Zuccotti Park at the main Occupy Wall Street protest by Scott Beale, Occupy LEGO Land captures the scope of protest on a micro level. Tiny LEGO men and women gather together bearing their own protest signs, fed up with their plastic economy. The display has been at the protest for nearly a month and continues to expand. It looks as though some people have been heeding their sign of "LEGOs are expensive, Help Us Grow!" The microcosm of the movement has gained tiny protesters along with the real one.

 

 

 

It’s a tiny movement so large that it’s even gotten its own Facebook page, where pictures of the protest are added nearly daily. The tongue in cheek mini protest is not a critique of the Occupy movement, but a fun effort in support of it, entertaining the many who are there for hours at a time. To see the LEGO Land protest grow, follow them at their page and join the movement!
