The book sets the historical record straight about the movement's lasting legacy and impacts by showing how Occupy, far from a passing phenomenon, marked the start of an era of social and political transformation that reignited the labor movement, remade the Democratic Party, and birthed a new culture of protest that has put the fight for social, economic, environmental, and racial justice at the forefront. Thanks to Occupy, which created the language of the 99 versus the 1 percent, economic inequality and the corporate corruption of Washington have become widely understood, changing the way Americans see themselves and their role in the economy. Progressive priorities like Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, debt-free college, higher taxes on the wealthy and a $15 minimum wage all owe early credit to the Occupy movement, which shifted the political conversation to address society's most urgent needs. Occupy Wall Street also reinvented grassroots activism, inaugurating a decade of youth-led resistance movements that have altered the social fabric, from Black Lives Matter and Standing Rock to March for Our Lives, the Global Climate Strikes and #MeToo. Generation Occupy attempts to help us understand how we got to where we are today, and to draw on lessons from Occupy in the future"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Occupy Wall Street (Movement) 650 0 $a Protest movements $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Income distribution $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 941 $a 4 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025449.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221005020546.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220927011617.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220217011210.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=68ED0FC683F811ECA43678234CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
