Tomorrow, Thursday November 17, marks two months since the start of Occupy Wall Street at Liberty Square. Occupy Wall Street, labor and community groups, and members of the 99% will celebrate the two-month anniversary of the movement with a massive day of action. Thousands upon thousands will take action together in at least 30 cities across the country.
In New York City we are planning for a big day. In the wake of Bloomberg’s predawn raid of Occupy Wall Street on Tuesday morning, thousands of people throughout the five boroughs and the greater region will join together to take peaceful action tomorrow.
We will gather to resist austerity, rebuild the economy, and reclaim our democracy. Our political system should serve all of us — not just the very rich and powerful. Right now Wall Street owns Washington. We are the 99% and we are here to reclaim our democracy.
