Thousands of Americans are going to Washington, DC in the first week of December to make the voices of the 99% heard and counter the influence of the 1%.

We’ll be joining the many community groups, unions, religious organizations, and unemployed workers going to the nation’s capital from December 5-9^th to break the grip that corporate lobbyists have on Congress.

The problem in Washington is that too many members of Congress listen to corporate lobbyists from K Street and their campaign contributions instead of the 99%.  Now the 99% are coming to the corridors of power to make our presence felt.

Great Video Recap of Nov 17

A project of the League of Young Voters. Featuring County Supervisor Eyon Biddle who said in a press release issued on the 18th:

“Change is being demanded. Folks are no longer going to fall in line with business as usual and status quo politics and leadership. I challenge everyone to take a closer look at the injustices that many working class people face every day. This is much more important than minor traffic inconveniences.”

We declare a state of Economic Emergency for the 99%

We’re tired of being drowned out by the voices of Wall Street. We’re sick of acting grateful for crumbs from politicians. We won’t tolerate one more cut or corporate giveaway. We’re done sacrificing to make the rich happy while we live in fear.

We demand that our voices be heard. We demand that the richest 1% pay their fair share and that we immediately put that money to work creating good jobs, rebuilding our communities, and strengthening our country. We believe that in a nation as rich as ours, there’s enough for everyone.
