We Are the 99 Percent 14th October 2013 Question with 172 notes Anonymous asked: How can you claim to speak for 99% of people? We don’t claim to speak for anyone, we merely present stories. 14th October 2013 Photo with 186 notes I am 23 years old I am a female (not that it should make a difference, but apparently in our society it does…) From the day I moved out of my parent’s house, I’ve supported myself 100%, not because they don’t love me but because they can’t support my dreams financially. For over two years I schlepped 2-for-1’s and shots to pay for my rent, a used car, and tuition at a community college. Now I’m attending the University of MN and I depleted all of my savings just so I wouldn’t have to take out a loan this semester. I’m majoring in journalism, a profession I consider a civic duty. I am the 99%. occupywallst.org 14th October 2013 Question with 12 notes Anonymous asked: We are the 99 percent- Why don't we RECALL these extremist NUTS that are in Washington, DC.??!!!! 9th September 2013 Thank you!

OccupyDC Protest: Group Pushes Repeal Of Citizens United, Corporate Personhood WASHINGTON -- Around 35 OccupyDC protesters huddled in a cluster of trees in McPherson Square on Saturday morning during on-and-off rain showers, the beginning of what they said could be a several month-long occupation of the park in the nation's capital. The protesters, inspired by the ongoing Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City, are asking for the "repeal [of] corporate personhood," according to the group's website. Thee group is focusing particularly on Citizens United, the landmark 2010 U.S. Supreme Court case that struck down campaign-finance laws applying to corporations and unions, freeing these groups to spend money on independent political ads. That decision expanded the First Amendment rights for corporations under the legal doctrine called corporate personhood, a theory that gives some legal rights and duties to corporations as if they were people. Jeffrey Light, a D.C. "We don't have a consensus yet on what the next step is," Light said. WATCH Rep.

évolution ou révolution ? Transport Workers Union Votes Unanimously to Support Occupy Wall Street Occupy Wall Street is in its 13th day, with support growing among factions veering from the "grungy unemployed hippie stereotype." There's the event led by two CUNY professors to protest the treatment of the protesters at the hands of the NYPD (Critical Mass has written they'll join in this rally, which may be preceded by a feeder march from Zuccotti Park consisting of other groups as well). Michael Moore, who's been involved for days now, is doing a book signing at St. Marks Bookshop (another cause!) with royalties on sales to go to support Occupy Wall Street. We spoke to TWU Local 100's spokesman Jim Gannon, who told us that the executive board voted unanimously last night at their regular monthly business meeting to support Occupy Wall Street. Why did they join? Via Animal NY, here's a video of a woman who identifies herself as a TWU 100 member talking about support for the demonstrators. TWU Local 100 President John Samuelsen added, "We plan to be down there from now on.

Here’s Occupy Wall Street’s “One Demand”: Sanity Even the sympathizers don't always get it. I'm sure I get a lot of things wrong too, but here's one thing I do understand: Change doesn't begin with policy. It begins with perception. And you don't change things by asking. But it begins with perception. In the New York Times, Nick Kristof shows that he understands the #OccupyWallStreet movement more than most of his peers. But like many other sympathetic observers, he misses their most important point when he says "the movement falters in its demands" because "it doesn't really have any." As movement participant Nelini Stamp told the Take Back the American Dream conference this morning, "We don't have demands. But the fact that the movement doesn't make demands of Wall Street - or Washington, for that matter - doesn't mean it doesn't have demands. To be sure, these "demands" are't couched in the strangely condescending and hostile language of all the Democratic fundraising emails going around lately. That's insane. Oh, wait. The Who.

15October.net Global Change William Pfaff: American Government’s Indifference to Popular Protest American Government’s Indifference to Popular Protest Posted on Oct 5, 2011 By William Pfaff The obvious is not easily seen when you don’t want to see it. The Wall Street sitdown, and the copycat sitdowns elsewhere in the U.S., were suddenly discovered by the mainstream press last weekend (rather against its own inclinations, it seems, since the uprising of “Indignation”—“los indignados” in Spain where it all started—has in one way or another been going on in Spain, Portugal, France and Israel since the summer began). The Wall Street affair was initially ignored by press and politicians for two reasons, so far as I can see. Thus the habit of the mainstream press to ignore “left-wing” issues in Europe, and in the U.S. to report only on what Washington political players do and say: meaning the president, his administration, the candidates, Congress and K street (whence the millions in lobbyist money comes from to keep all the rest of them comfortably in charge of the United States).
