Occupy Wall Street

Occupy Wall Street was a protest movement that began in 2011 in New York City, primarily centered in Zuccotti Park. It aimed to address economic inequality, corporate influence in politics, and social injustice. The slogan "We are the 99%" highlighted the divide between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population. The movement attracted attention through peaceful demonstrations, art, and discussions about capitalism, consumerism, and democracy. It sparked similar protests around the world, making it a significant part of contemporary discussions about economic reform and social change.
