A series of global protests against economic inequality and corporate greed calling for the “occupation” of different cities, banks, and public squares began in September 2011 with “Occupy Wall Street” [6] in New York City. Soon after, similar demonstrations were organized across the United States and also around the world. It's a decentralized and leaderless movement, inspired by uprisings in Egypt [7] and Spain [8], and organized by citizens who use online media avidly. The primary slogan – “We are the 99%” – refers to the 1% of the U.S. population who control nearly a quarter of the wealth.
See our Europe in Crisis [8] special coverage examining popular discontent with the social, political and financial consequences of Europe's financial bailouts.What we do: Global Voices [9] bloggers from around the world report on how citizens use the Internet and social media to make their voices heard, often translating from different languages.
