The 99% Movement

The 99% Movement refers to a socio-economic movement that highlights the disparity between the wealthiest 1% of the population and the remaining 99%. It emerged prominently during the Occupy Wall Street protests in 2011. Advocates argue that the richest individuals and corporations hold disproportionate power and resources, while the majority of people face economic challenges. The movement aims to raise awareness about issues like income inequality, corporate influence in politics, and social justice, advocating for policies that benefit a broader segment of society rather than a privileged few.
