THIS IS A GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION. WE ARE A PEACEFUL MOVEMENT.

WE REPRESENT 99% of EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL PERSUASION.
...
We seek an end to the corporate stronghold over all governments. We seek an authentic democracy that represents the 99% majority - us.

We hold corporate entities responsible for their crimes against us and the Earth.

We are inspired by and stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters striving for liberty in North Africa and the Middle East, Europe and more recently, the United States.
