"We Are the 99%" is a slogan that emerged from the Occupy Wall Street movement, which began in 2011. It highlights the economic disparity between the wealthiest 1% of the population and the remaining 99%. The phrase emphasizes the struggles faced by the majority of people who feel marginalized by the financial system and corporate influence in politics. The movement aimed to raise awareness about issues such as income inequality, corporate greed, and social justice. Protesters gathered in public spaces, advocating for reforms to address these concerns and promote a more equitable society. The slogan became a rallying cry for various social justice initiatives.
