Occupy Wall Street, Protest movement in the United States
Occupy Wall Street was a progressive protest movement focused on economic inequality.
The movement began on September 17, 2011, in Zuccotti Park located in New York City's Wall Street financial district.
It gave rise to the widely known slogan 'We are the 99%'.
The Occupy encampments provided libraries, medical stations, kitchens, and community spaces.
Occupy Wall Street initiated the use of the 'human microphone' where crowds would amplify speakers' words by repetition.
