In 2011, the Occupy Wall Street Movement went global. This campaign was born in New York City with the help of Times Up! volunteers, who assisted in organizing this movement. Times Up! helped with the sustainability and environmental education portions of the movement.
As the movement continued, people living in Zuccotti Park needed their bikes to be repaired. Time’s Up! brought tools and parts to hold free fix-your-bike workshops.
One of Time's Up's events is the annual Occupy Fountain Ride. In the upcoming summer of 2012 they will be holding their 4th annual Fountain Ride. Time's Up! utilizes privately owned public spaces, such as Zuccotti Park, that contain fountains by swimming in them.

Famous quotes containing the words occupy, wall and/or street:
“It has always been thought perfectly womanly to be a scrub- woman in the Legislature and to take care of the spittoons; that is entirely within the charmed circle of woman’s sphere; but for women to occupy any of those official seats would be degrading.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Sometimes, because of its immediacy, television produces a kind of electronic parable. Berlin, for instance, on the day the Wall was opened. Rostropovich was playing his cello by the Wall that no longer cast a shadow, and a million East Berliners were thronging to the West to shop with an allowance given them by West German banks! At that moment the whole world saw how materialism had lost its awesome historic power and become a shopping list.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“Women are the people who are going to relieve us from all this oppression and depression. The rent boycott that is happening in Soweto now is alive because of the women. It is the women who are on the street committees educating the people to stand up and protect each other.”
—Nontsikelelo Albertina Sisulu (b. 1919)
