Occupy Wall Street was a protest movement that began in September 2011 in New York City. It aimed to address issues of economic inequality, corporate influence in politics, and social justice. The movement is known for its slogan, "We are the 99%," highlighting the disparity between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population. Protesters gathered in Zuccotti Park and organized various activities, including marches, discussions, and art installations. The movement inspired similar protests across the globe, drawing attention to the growing concerns about capitalism and the financial system. Although it lost momentum by 2012, its impact on public discourse remains significant.
