We'll be joining countless other Perth activists in solidarity, promoting their causes and using the day as an opportunity to discuss our cause with other protesters and attendees.

We need to approach everyone who will listen, tell them about the wall street occupation, tell them that our media is keeping this from us, and tell them what we're fighting for.

We need to enlist support for a November rally or occupation, we als...o need to make them aware of our facebook page and twitter page so that they can find more information.
