What is the occupation movement?

The Occupy Movement is a social and political movement that began in 2011, primarily known for its protest against economic inequality and corporate influence in politics. It gained prominence with the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City, where demonstrators camped in Zuccotti Park to highlight issues such as wealth disparity and the power of the 1%. The movement emphasized grassroots activism and utilized social media to organize and spread its message, inspiring similar protests around the world. Although its visible presence has diminished, its themes continue to resonate in discussions about economic justice and reform.
