The following is a timeline of Occupy Wall Street which officially began on September 17, 2011 as an occupation of Wall Street, the financial district of New York City and is an ongoing demonstration[1]
Chronology of events
Pre-Sept 17
- July 13, 2011 – a Canadian anti-consumerist magazine called Adbusters makes the initial proposal for a peaceful demonstration to occupy Wall Street. [2]
- August 23 – The hacktivist group Anonymous encourages its followers to take part in the protest. [3]===Beginning===
September
- September 17 – the beginning of the Occupy Wall Street gathering. An estimated 1,000 people[4] attended on the first day. NYPD police officers prohibited protesters from erecting tents, citing loitering rules. This led to masses of people walking up and down Wall Street.
- September 19 – the stock market opened on Wall Street for regular business. Many major news sources began to publish articles on the occupation[5] and Occupy Wall Street caught some mainstream media attention across a wide variety of sources.[6]
- September 23 – the action at Liberty Plaza Park, across the street from finance hub One Liberty Plaza in New York City continued.[7] The Colbert Report[8] satirized the protests and major newspapers including The Guardian[9] and the New York Times covered the protests.[10]
