We Are The 99%
A few weeks back a few people started to ‘Occupy Wall Street’ in New York, now the movement goes from strength in the US, covering now 50 cities, out of this movement comes this moving text and image site full of American citizens testimonies of their suffering under the current crisis of Capitalism, the website, using the simple format of a picture of the person, their one page testimony and the slogan ‘Occupy Wall Street’ the website – which is growing exponentially everyday – states :
“We are the 99 percent. We are getting 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’re working at all. We are getting nothing while the other 1 percent is getting everything. We are the 99 percent.”
