The decentralized nature of the protests makes official demands difficult to come by, but the movement has released a number of positions that are fairly representative of the left-wing, anti-capitalist tenor of the protests.

Knowing America’s history well is one of the first steps to becoming a well-rounded and knowledgeable conservative.
