"We are the 99 percent. We are getting kicked out of our homes. We are forced to choose between groceries and rent. We are seeing our NHS being dismantled before our very eyes. 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.”

“Why will YOU occupy? "

“My situation is your situation. I am no longer happy to be either apathetic or ignorant. The time has come when people of calibre will no longer turn their backs, closing their eyes and ears to the truth. If you are doing nothing, refusing to take a stand against the greatest possible threats to the achievements of our ancestors that we witness today, you are saying to your children and the next generation “And so it will be for you and your offspring.” Around the world those in whom we entrust our power are using this disaster, the crisis they’ve created to shock and awe people into accepting actions that go against your better nature and conscience. If they bring anything to you or your family it will be misery and fear for your futures. But they can only treat us with disdain if we let them. We can stand up to them and show them that we have the real power, that we will not tolerate them ignoring us in favour of greed, arrogance and corruption. We are bringing a message of hope, destroying the shadow of fear that our world lives under.”
