Ths a new political movement in Mexico lead by university students called #YoSoy132. What exactly does their name signify?
I understand their demands and what they stand for but what's the backstory to the name?

Best answer: El Wikipedia dice: The slogan "Yo soy 132" originated in an expression of solidarity with the protest's initiators. When people began tweeting I'm the 132nd student, the phrase yo soy 132 was coined. The 'hash' in the name #Yosoy132 emphasize this Twitter phenomena as the hashtag #Yosoy132 was a world-wide TT for many days. The phrase draws inspiration from the occupy movement and its slogan We are the 99%.

Best answer: Wikipedia has the information you need.

Basically, it's saying "I am Number 132," standing with the first 131.
