Amsterdam Squatters Theories


1.  I am going to use the Social Movements and Social Media reading to look at how the Amsterdam Squatter movement use social media in their efforts. Since this protest took place back in 2010 there were some platforms of social media in existence that could have heavily influenced the way messages and motives were portrayed. I want to like into this more and see how social media played or a part in this movement or if it even played a role at all. In what ways did people express how they wanted normalcy back in their lives online? 

2.  I am going to use the Social Movements: An Example, The Mothers Come Together reading and find the similarities and differences between how the madres and the squatters went about fighting government injustices. The madres were looking for their children and the squatters were looking for a safe home. Both of these groups were on the bottom of society and had to use their voices accordingly to help their mission. Both of the groups just wanted their lives to go back to normal, like the image above says. 

3. I am going to use the Social Movements in Process/Progress, #MeToo and Intersectionality: An Examination of the #MeToo Movement Through the R. Kelly Scandal reading to look at how victims of these tragedies were fighting to get justice and stop normalizing the problem.
