From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Occupy San José was a peaceful protest and demonstration in City Hall Plaza in San Jose, California.[2][3] The demonstration was inspired by Occupy Wall Street and is part of the larger "Occupy" protest movement.[4] The aim of the demonstration was to begin a sustained occupation in downtown San José, the 10th largest city in the United States,[5] to protest perceived corporate greed and social inequality, including opposing corporate influence in U.S. politics, the influence of money and corporations on democracy[6] and a lack of legal and political repercussions for the 2007–2008 financial crisis.[7]
