Occupy San José


Occupy San José was a peaceful protest and demonstration in City Hall Plaza in San Jose, California. The demonstration was inspired by Occupy Wall Street and is part of the larger "Occupy" protest movement. The aim of the demonstration was to begin a sustained occupation in downtown San José, the 10th largest city in the United States, to protest perceived corporate greed and social inequality, including opposing corporate influence in U.S. politics, the influence of money and corporations on democracy and a lack of legal and political repercussions for the global financial crisis.
As of June 2012, Occupy San José had continued to engage in organized meetings and actions.
After a year of actions and twice-weekly assemblies, Occupy San José celebrated their anniversary October 6, 2012.
