Wall Street encampment
The Occupy movement was a 2011 protest campaign against economic inequality, launched with Occupy Wall Street in New York City's Zuccotti Park.
Protesters highlighted wealth concentration among "the 1%" while "the 99%" struggled.
The movement spread globally, using encampments in public spaces as its signature tactic: The Occupy movement changed how Americans talk about inequality.
