The American Spring (also known as the Second American Revolution or the 2011 North American protests) are an unprecedented revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests which have been taking place among the successor states of the United States of America. Beginning in March 2011 with the Committee to Restore the United States of America (CRUSA) sponsored pro-democracy protests in the Municipal States of the Pacific, the protests have evolved into new calls to unite the scattered survivor states under the Stars and Stripes again. The protests have shared techniques of civil resistance in sustained campaigns involving strikes, demonstrations, marches and rallies, as well as the support of CRUSA agents in organizing and sustaining these protests.
