"We Are the 99 Percent" is a slogan associated with 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 movement aimed to raise awareness about issues such as income inequality, corporate influence in politics, and social justice. The phrase became a rallying cry for those advocating for economic reforms and greater accountability from financial institutions. Supporters used social media and public demonstrations to share personal stories of struggle, emphasizing the need for systemic change to benefit the majority rather than a privileged few.
