The Occupy Movement began in 2011 as a series of protests against economic inequality and corporate influence in politics. It is best known for the initial protest at Zuccotti Park in New York City, where demonstrators used the slogan "We are the 99%" to highlight the wealth disparity between the richest 1% and the rest of the population. The movement quickly spread to cities around the world, inspiring similar protests and discussions about social justice, economic reform, and the role of money in politics. While the movement faced challenges and criticisms, it significantly raised awareness about issues related to capitalism, corporate greed, and economic justice.
