History and Current Projects of Occupy Washington, DC
Occupy Washington, DC began in April, 2010 as the October2011 Movement and went public on June 6, 2011 telling Americans that history was knocking. The movement was inspired by actions in Egypt, Spain, Greece and we expressed solidarity with international movements in an open letter published in Al Jazeera. Its initial project was the Occupation of Freedom Plaza which began on October 6, 2011 and linked corporatism and militarism on the beginning of the 11th year of the Afghanistan War and the first year of the federal austerity budget.
