Occupy National Day of Action
Enough is enough--we can't wait any longer. Three years after Wall Street wrecked our economy, 25 million people are still unable to find full-time work and the scandalous income inequality gap between the Super Rich and working families just grows. But instead of creating jobs, Congress keeps focusing on job-killing budget cuts.
The wealthiest 1% in America owns 42% of our nation’s wealth.
It’s time to declare an Economic Emergency for the 99%. On Nov. 17, we will peacefully join the Occupy movement at sites all across the country and demand an economy and a country that works for everyone, not just the 1%.
