WE ARE THE 99 PERCENT. OCCUPPY TOGETHER.

This  is the voice of the global movement : Occupy Together. Let´s read some of their reflections (that we make ours too).
We are the 99 percent. We are kicked out of our homes.We are forced to choose between groceries and rent. We are denied quality medical care.We are suffering from environmental pollution. We are working long hours for little pay and no rights,if we are working at all. We are getting nothing while the other 1per cent is getting everything.We are the 99 percent.
It is a "branch" of the global movement, spread throughout the world.
Occupy Wall Street is a leaderless resistance movement with people of many colours, genders and political persuations. The one thing they all have in common is that they are the 99 percent that we no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1 percent. They are using the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic to achieve their ends and the safety of the participants.
Read some of their letters posted on their blog.

OCCUPY WALL STREET. OCCUPY TOGETHER

Police arrest more than 700 hundred from the Occupy Wall Street protest who took to the roadway as they tried to cross the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday afternoon. The police said it was "the marchers´choice" that led to the enforcement action. Protesters banged drums and chanted "The whole world is watching" as the police moved in. Read more here.
A video on the You Tube page of a group called We are Change shows some of the arrests.


The protest campaign (It uses the hashtag #occupywallstreet on the microblogging site Twitter) began in July with the launch of a simple campaign website calling for a march and a sit-in at the New York Stock Exchange. Over the past two weeks, demonstrations have addressed various issues, including police brutality, union busting and the economy, the group said.
