Looking back on Occupy Wall Street fifteen years later

WNYC News | Sep 16

This week marks the fifteenth anniversary of the movement known as Occupy Wall Street. On September 17th 2011, activists gathered in Manhattan's Financial District to protest financial inequality. It turned into a weeks-long encampment in Zuccotti Park. Micah Bornfree was an editor at Adbusters, a Canadian anti-consumerist outlet, when he and his colleagues put out the original call to occupy Wall Street. He joins WNYC to talk about the movement's legacy.
