We are The 99% T-Shirt
' Occupy Wall Street (OWS) is an ongoing series of demonstrations in New York City[6] based in Zuccotti Park in the Wall Street financial district. Initiated by the Canadian activist group Adbusters,[7][8] the protests were inspired by the Arab Spring movement, especially Cairo's Tahrir Square protests, and the Spanish Indignants.[9][10] They are mainly protesting social and economic inequality, corporate greed, and the power and influence of corporations, particularly from the financial service sector, and of lobbyists, over government.[11][12][13] The participants' slogan "We are the 99%"[14] refers to the difference in wealth between the top 1% and the other citizens of the United States.[15] By October 9, similar demonstrations were either ongoing or had been held in 70 major cities and over 600 communities in the U.S.,[16] including the estimated 100,000 people who demonstrated on October 15.[17][18] Internationally, other "Occupy" protests have modeled themselves after Occupy Wall Street, in over 900 cities worldwide.[19][20][21][22] An October 11 poll showed that 54% of Americans have a favorable opinion of the protests, compared to 27% for the Tea Party movement,[23] and up from 38% in a poll conducted October 6–10.[24] An October 12–16 poll found that 67% of New York City voters agreed with the protesters and 87% agreed with their right to protest.
