What is Occupy Wall Street?
{{Unreferenced|date=August 2018}} '''Occupy Wall Street''' was a [[protest]] that started in 2011 in [[New York City]] and spread into other cities all over the [[United States]]. Citizens protested against how [[poor]] and [[wealth]]y people have lived in different ways and are treated differently by other people, and also against the way [[corporation|corporations]] used their money. People in New York started protesting in Zuccotti Park on September 17, and some people decided to camp there overnight. It grew to include several thousand people, with many different political views. Protesters included some [[communist]]s, political [[moderate]]s, [[liberal]]s, and [[Progressivism|Progressives]]. Many of the Occupy protests in the rest of the country only started as in the middle of October. In some places, like [[Denver]], [[Oakland]], and New York City itself, police acted [[violence|violently]]. In some places, including [[Miami]], the protests were peaceful and some [[police officer]]s supported the protests. After 2011 the numbers of people involved dwindled away.
