We are protesting the financial corruption and corporate greed of 1% of the population that affects all aspects of our lives – politics, corporations, the media, education, and even the very environment we live in. We are the 99% and we will be quiet about this injustice no longer. We will take back for the people, what already belongs to the people – our country.
