Tusentals amerikaner har tagit över Wall Street
9 oktober 2011 07:49
Dear friends,
Thousands of Americans have taken over Wall
Street -- joining a global movement from Madrid to Jerusalem to take back
democracy from corrupt interests. If millions of us stand with them, we'll
boost their spirits and show the media and leaders that this is no fringe
movement. Click below to sign the petition - every signature will be counted
on a giant live counter in the middle of the Wall St. occupation:
| Thousands of Americans have
non-violently occupied Wall St -- an epicentre of global financial power and
corruption. They are the latest ray of light in a new movement for social
justice that is spreading like wildfire from Madrid to Jerusalem to 146 other
cities and counting, but they need our help to succeed.
As working
families pay the bill for a financial crisis caused by corrupt elites, the
protesters are calling for real democracy, social justice and anti-corruption.
But they are under severe pressure from authorities, and some media are
dismissing them as fringe groups. If millions of us from across the world
stand with them, we'll boost their resolve and show the media and leaders that
the protests are part of a massive mainstream movement for
change.
This year could be our century's 1968, but to succeed it
must be a movement of all citizens, from every walk of life. Click to join the
call for real democracy -- a giant live counter of every one of us who signs
the petition will be erected in the centre of the occupation in New York,
and live webcasted on the petition page:

The
worldwide wave of protest is the latest chapter in this year's story of global
people power. In Egypt, people took over Tahrir Square and toppled their
dictator. In India, one man's fast brought millions onto the streets and the
government to its knees -- winning real action to end corruption. For months,
Greek citizens relentlessly protested unfair cuts to public spending. In Spain,
thousands of "indignados" defied a ban on pre-election demonstrations and
mounted a protest camp in Sol square to speak out against political corruption
and the government's handling of the economic crisis. And this summer across
Israel, people have built "tent cities" to protest against the rising costs of
housing and for social justice.
These national threads are connected
by a global narrative of determination to end the collusion of corrupt elites
and politicians -- who have in many countries helped cause a damaging
financial crisis and now want working families to pay the bill. The mass
movement that is responding can not only ensure that the burden of recession
doesn't fall on the most vulnerable, it can also help right the balance of power
between democracy and corruption. Click to stand with the movement:

In
every uprising, from Cairo to New York, the call for an accountable government
that serves the people is clear, and our global community has backed that people
power across the world wherever it has broken out. The time of politicians in
the pocket of the corrupt few is ending, and in its place we are building real
democracies, of, by, and for people.
With hope,
Emma, Maria Paz,
Alice, Ricken, Morgan, Brianna, Shibayan and the rest of the Avaaz
team
