What does the occupy movement want to accomplish?

An equitable world would be a good start. Someplace in which we could all have quality healthcare, education, childcare, and a life with respect.

On New Year's Eve I had a miscarriage at home. I do not have insurance and live off of $800.00 a month. If I called an ambulance I would not be able to afford to eat for months. I'm 32 years old and college educated. I do not have any debt. I am the 99%

Wells Fargo is foreclosing on my property and I have been paying every single one of my monthly payments. All they have to do to get my property is file a notice of default wait 90 days then announce a sale date. If I want to defend myself I have to hire attorneys that I can not afford or lose my property. What recourse do I have? I have written to Kamala Harris but all I get is finger pointing at different agencies, such as Office of the comptroller, Consumer Financial and no response.

Get in touch with Occupy Homes.

What are we/you doing about this Congress? Do you understand the Republicans are now threatening to shut down this government over the debt limit? Why aren't we louder?

Because we are waiting for you to join us in the streets. http://directory.occupy.net

So when is everyone grouping together again to form another nonviolent protest? After this recent tax increase and groceries going up, something needs to be done about those employed in Congress. We can't keep letting them run things the way they are now. So what is being planned?

Ask a local organizing group. Go to http://directory.occupy.net join a group, and brainstorm to plan out an action.
