SUMMARY:15th Anniversary of Occupy Wall Street
DESCRIPTION:We are organizing a celebration for the 15th anniversary of Occupy Wall Street\, scheduled for September 17\, 2026\, at Zuccotti Park. The event aims to acknowledge past successes\, pass the “torch” to contemporary activists\, and launch a central digital hub at occupy2026.org. \nFor S17 activities and events that may continue onward\, we look forward to coordinate with sister organizations. \nEvent Plans & Programming \n\nCore Event: A gathering at Zuccotti Park starting Thursday morning\, September 17\, with a full day line up ending with a General Assembly. Submit your speaker\, presentation or event suggestions!\nSolutions Symposium: Installations from NYC organizations showcasing alternatives we can apply today.\nWalking Tours: Historic walking tour experience of the financial district led by Kim Fraczek of the SANE Energy Project on September 20.\nDigital Content: The website will feature a “reminiscence” section for stories\, articles\, images\, and film submissions.\nLivestreaming: We invite and anticipate Substackers\, bloggers and Indie Reporters to be on site so our content can reach across the US and around the world.\n\n“What Next for the 99%?”\nFormer Occupy participants\, NYC organizations\, artists\, and new allies will convene for public dialogue\, solutions\, mutual aid\, creative action\, and an evening General Assembly. \nOccupy 2026 will feature a morning gathering; a midday press availability; short presentations from community groups and solution‑builders; art\, music\, and participatory activities; a memorial and peer‑listening area; an afternoon masquerade and performance hour; open working groups; and an evening General Assembly. \nThe program will invite organizations and independent projects working on affordable housing\, worker power\, food access\, community care\, debt\, cooperative economics\, civil liberties\, climate resilience\, peace\, public art\, and other community priorities. Participants will also be able to add a project\, request\, or offer to a public mutual‑aid and project board. \nA participatory “Line in the Sand” installation will invite attendees to make a brief recorded declaration: what they intend to protect\, what they refuse to normalize\, or what they will help build for future generations. The installation is intended as a voluntary\, nonreligious civic act of public commitment. \nOccupy 2026 / S17 \n\nDate: Thursday\, September 17\, 2026\nLocation: Zuccotti Park\, Lower Manhattan\, New York City\nPublic information: occupy2026.org\nPress inquiries: info@occupy2026.org\n\n  \nALL DAY INSTALLATIONS: \nNeeds / Gifts Board: Projects\, Groups & Individuals share what’s wanted: rideshares\, rooms + \nSolutions Symposium: Presentations on site showcasing real world alternatives and options. \nFacepainting\, Mask Making\, DIY Costume Table for Masquerade Prep \nRitual recorded declaration: Small bin with sand\, large magic staff\, make vow walk thru Archway \nMemorial Space: photos\, prayers for those Fallen.
