Why is this answer correct?
At the Monday demonstrations of 1989 in Leipzig and other GDR cities, people shouted "We are the people" and demanded democracy. The popular uprising of 1953 had different slogans and was crushed by the military. The 1968 protests and the anti-nuclear demonstrations of 1985 were about other issues.
1989 Monday demonstrations: "We are the people".
