Nuit debout

Nuit Debout was a social movement in France that began in March 2016, characterized by nightly gatherings of people protesting economic inequality, austerity measures, and political reform. Originating as a response to labor law reforms, participants occupied public spaces like squares to discuss issues, share ideas, and advocate for greater democratic participation. It symbolized a broader push for grassroots activism, emphasizing transparency, solidarity, and citizen engagement outside traditional political channels. While it was not a formal organization, Nuit Debout fostered dialogue and community among diverse groups seeking social and political change.
