The story of how the "bat signal" was made is inspiring. Read about it and watch the video at the end of the story so you can see what it looked like.
Crossing 17 bridges in 17 cities was coordinated to bring attention to the delapidated infastructure across our country. The Obama Jobs Plan will provide billions of dollars to repair and improve our infastructure and create jobs. OWS is a movement to remind our government they work for us and not their donors. Many of us agree that the movement can use improved coordination and needs a clearer agenda about what policies they support. However, we also agree that this group of idealists has truly shifted the conversation in America in a necessary direction. -SK
To all those people (and i have seen a lot of facebook comments about this) who see the 99% as choosing to be out of work and lazy: I am the 99%. My sister, who teaches special ed in red hook, is the 99%. The police are, in fact, the 99%. My clients, who are children, and still have the imagination to envision a better life for themselves, are the 99%.
and, if not for ourselves, we should all be fighting to help the children's vision, those children who grow up with little reason to be idealistic but are, become a reality.
