Occupy Wall Street Stew

The Occupy Wall Street movement began in 2011 in New York City's financial district to protest economic inequality, excessive corporate influence in government, and a lack of legal repercussions for those deemed responsible for the global financial crisis. Its rallying cry, 'We are the 99%', highlighted the income disparity between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population, sparking a global movement advocating for greater economic justice.
