Partner – WHY OCCUPY

Menu

In 2011, the Occupy movement brought together people from all walks of life in an unprecedented way.

For several months, occupations around the world protested the status quo and struggled to come up with more equitable ways of living.

Five years on, for the anniversary of Occupy London, we are looking to explore the effects of this movement on its participants, reflect on the impact of these experiences and how they are shaping our visions of the future.

I became more aware of and committed to fighting a variety injustices. I became more aware of how class, privilege, mental health, disability and education affect people’s interactions with the world and with each other – including my own. I became simultaneously more hopeful and more despairing of ‘human nature’, if there is such a thing.
