Four years ago, police started evicting Occupy Wall Street protesters from Zuccotti Park in New York City.
Justin Wedes remembers it well. It was one of several times he was arrested for protesting as an Occupy Wall Street leader.
“I think there’s a general sentiment, even amongst many on Wall Street, that our current political and economic system isn’t working,” says Wedes, who has now returned to his hometown of Detroit.
The Occupy tent cities are gone, but the movement has had a lingering effect on American politics — and even Wall Street itself.
