As of June 2012, Occupy Pittsburgh had continued to engage in organized meetings, events and actions.[5]
Overview
The protests began on October 15, 2011[3][6] and drew as many as 4,000 people.[7] The protests included an encampment at Mellon Green.[8] Although the park is privately owned by BNY Mellon, it initially did not request protesters to vacate, the movement citing the "public space" provisions of the city code to justify their occupation.[2][9] After BNY Mellon filed in court on December 12, 2011 to end the encampment, Occupy Pittsburgh members responded by serving notice to evict the corporation from Pittsburgh.
On February 8, 2012, the movement peacefully left Mellon Green after a court order was issued.[1]
