This document summarizes the Occupy Wall Street movement. It began in 2011 as a protest against growing economic inequality and the influence of corporations and wealthy individuals ("the 1%") over government and politics. Protesters argued that while average citizens suffered financially from the financial crisis, Wall Street executives faced no consequences and continued receiving high compensation. The movement called for reforms to reduce the influence of money in politics, increase taxes on the wealthy, and ensure economic policies benefit all citizens rather than just large banks and corporations.
