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.
