The Occupation

“The Occupation,” is a dramatic piece, in the form of a short story, about the arrests and eviction, on 15 November 2011, of numerous Occupy Wall Street activists in and from Zuccotti Park, New York City.

At the time of the arrests and eviction, many protesters had been in the park for several weeks, and are unwilling to vacate the location or abandon the protest. As a result, violent clashes between police and protesters ensue. This piece is a fictitious account of the events, in dramatic style.
