PROVIDENCE, RI (WPRI)- The Occupy Providence movement will return to the capital city next month. 

Members of the group are planning a four day demonstration during a Net-Roots Nation conference.   

Net-Roots Nation brings together political activists, news makers and bloggers.

Occupiers believe the conference is an opportunity to protest economic injustice.

Occupy Providence was set up last October in Burnside Park, despite the city's protests.

Their camp was dismantled more than three months later.
