Occupy Charlottesville was a social movement in Charlottesville, Virginia that began on October 15, 2011, in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street and the rest of the Occupy movement. The downtown Lee Park encampment was taken down on November 30, 2011 when 18 members of the movement were arrested and charged with trespassing. The group failed to establish a campsite after the eviction, although they continued to hold their `General Assemblies` and participate in targeted actions for several months thereafter. The group`s protests target social and economic injustice both locally and nationally.
