As of September 2014, the group claimed to have wiped out almost $19 million in debt.As of September 2014, Rolling Jubilee claims to have cancelled more than $15 million in Strike Debt, and a successor organization, The Debt Collective, were active in organizing the Corinthian 100 students who struck against Corinthian college, a for-profit school that was shut down by the U.S. Department of Education.Another offshoot of the Occupy Movement, calling itself the OWS Alternative Banking Group, was established during the occupation of Zuccotti Park in 2011.Alternative Banking ran Occupy Summer School at the Urban Assembly Institute of Math and Science for Young Women in July 2015.In 2013, commentators described Occupy Wall Street as having influenced the This article is about the protests in New York City. It's no surprise that it ended up being a failure. Or can we credit Occupy with planting the seeds of a dialogue that may eventually lead to shifts in income inequality?Since OWS first sprouted at Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park on Sept. 17, 2011, the decentralized opposition group has been routinely dismissed for its disorganization and lack of a core message. There were about 200 activists who organized the ground rules 47 days before the protest began.Revealed: how the FBI coordinated the crackdown on Occupy, The Guardian, Naomi Wolf, December 29, 2012, Moynihan, Colin.

Occupy Wall Street didn't achieve its political goals, but that doesn't mean it was a total failure (AFP/Getty) Occupy Wall Street is widely regarded as one of radical history’s great failures. "On October 13, New York City's mayor Bloomberg and Brookfield announced that the park must be vacated for cleaning the following morning at 7 am.On October 20, residents at a community board meeting complained about inadequate sanitation, verbal taunts and harassment by protesters, noise, and related issues. Assembly meetings involved OWS working groups and affinity groups, and were open to the public for both attendance and speaking.During the initial weeks of the park encampment it was reported that most of OWS funding was coming from donors with incomes in the $50,000 to $100,000 range, and the median donation was $22.Met with increasing costs and significant overhead expenses in order to sustain the movement, an internal audit from the fiscal management team known as the "accounting working group" revealed on March 2, 2012, that only $44,000 of the several hundred thousand dollars raised still remained available.

Last year, the Occupy movement, lead by Occupy Wall Street, burst on to national prominence, protesting against inequality in America. Graeber, his companions and others went off on their own to begin their own assembly. Like much of Occupy, many of these alternative media projects were collectively managed, while autonomous from the decision making bodies of Occupy Wall Street.Jesse Goldstein, Dave Loewenstein, Alexandra Clotfelter and Marshall Weber of OWS demonstrators complained of thefts of assorted items such as cell phones and laptops; thieves also stole $2,500 of donations that were stored in a makeshift kitchen.NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said protesters delayed reporting crime until three complaints were made against the same individual.After several weeks of occupation, protesters had made enough allegations of rape, sexual assault, and gropings that women-only sleeping tents were set up.As the movement spread across the United States, the On October 1, 2011, a large group of protesters set out to walk across the In June 2012, a federal judge ruled that the protesters had not received sufficient warning.In May 2012, three cases in a row were thrown out of court, the most recent one for "insufficient summons".In 2011, eight men associated with Occupy Wall Street were found guilty of trespassing, having intended to set up a camp on property controlled by Trinity Church. Recalls journalist Three years after the original occupation, there were fewer people actively involved in Occupy than at its height. The Canadian anti-consumerist and pro-environment group/magazine Adbusters initiated the call for a protest. This is the major reason it spread so rapidly; within 3 weeks, protests were ongoing in over 95 cities across 82 countries and in over 600 American communities. A fundamental conceptual error lay at the heart of OWS’s mistake. The suffocating silence that had masked economic inequality and political corruption was shattered, the Tea Party was kicked off the front pages, people started talking about social justice in entirely new ways, and millions of young people suddenly took heart. Occupy was right in its central claim that inequality was polluting American society root and branch. I'm hoping we can strike a balance on parameters because this could be a long term stay. No good would come from any attempt to reform a system that was beyond repair.The terrible thing about all this is that Occupy was really on to something important.
