Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Occupy Eugene movement began in 2011 with the aim to invoke "accountability and responsibility in government." In line with Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Eugene protested global banks and corporations arguing that these entities "embody the process that causes untold misery among 99% of the people for the benefit of top tenth of one percent with incomprehensible wealth." The Eugene movement also supported a campaign to decriminalize homelessness. Protesters occupied local parks, including Millrace and Alton Baker.
