#OnThisDate September 17, 2011 - A Movement Ignites
Occupy Wall Street (OWS) Commenced As A Grassroots Protest In Zuccotti Park, Located In New York City's Financial District.
Sparked By A Call To Action From The Canadian Activist Group Adbusters, The Movement Aimed To Highlight Income Inequality, Corporate Greed, And The Influence Of Money In Politics.
Hundreds Of Demonstrators Gathered, Establishing An Encampment That Would Become A Symbol Of Their Cause. The Movement Adopted The Slogan "We Are The 99%" To Represent The Disparity Between The Wealthiest 1% And The Rest Of The Population.
This Nonviolent Protest Quickly Spread, With Similar Occupations Occurring In Cities Across The United States And Globally. Key Figures Such As Naomi Klein And Chris Hedges Joined The Protests, Lending Their Voices To The Growing Discontent.
While The Encampment In Zuccotti Park Was Cleared By Police On November 15, 2011, OWS Had Already Succeeded In Sparking A Worldwide Dialogue On Economic Inequality And The Power Dynamics Within Modern Capitalism.
Despite Its Lack Of A Centralized Leadership And Specific Policy Outcomes, The Movement Had A Lasting Impact On The Political Discourse, Influencing Future Protests And Movements Like The Fight For $15 And Bernie Sanders' 2016 Presidential Campaign.
