Occupy George was a political movement that started during the Occupy Wall Street protests in 2011. It involved activists creatively stamping messages about income inequality on dollar bills with rubber stamps. By using these stamped bills in circulation, the movement aimed to raise awareness and start conversations about economic injustice. It allowed individuals to express their frustration and support for the 99% (the majority of citizens) facing significant economic challenges caused by corporate greed and wealth inequality.

It involved individuals stamping messages on dollar bills to raise awareness about economic inequality and corporate influence in politics.

The Occupy George political movement was a part of the larger Occupy Wall Street movement that emerged in 2011. It was called "Occupy George" because its participants would use rubber stamps to write political messages or facts about wealth inequality on dollar bills. By doing this, they aimed to raise awareness about economic disparities and to spark conversations about the concentration of wealth in society. This small act of stamping dollar bills allowed these messages to reach a wider audience as the bills circulated in everyday transactions.
