INVITE ALL YOUR FRIENDS!

Whether or not you are aware of the ongoing nonviolent protest taking place at Liberty Park in New York, it is important to note that the protests are occurring for your sake, the sake of the 99% of Americans that are being abused by the corruption and greed of the 1% of Americans that control the wealth in our nation. OccupyWallStreet began on September 17, 2011, with the intent of protesting on New York's financial district to show that the 99% is no longer going to take the abuse. Since then, protesters have been at Liberty Park in New York day and night, despite wind, rain, and several arrests by the NYPD. In their efforts, they remain nonviolent, streaming footage on their livestream website for lack of press coverage. American mainstream media has deliberately chosen to ignore the ongoing protests, just as Arab mainstream media did during the Arab Spring revolutions earlier this year.

Despite the lack of press coverage, there are currently 66 cities in the US and internationally that are standing in solidarity with the efforts at Wall Street. The 99% in Sacramento need to show their support, and stand up against the 1%. We are currently working on gaining support in Sacramento to organize similar demonstrations at the state capitol. We may not be able to show our support physically, but the least we can do is show that even without mainstream media attention, democracy in the US still stands, and that we are here to support the rights of the common man. WE ARE THE 99%.
