We are the 99 percent. We are getting kicked out of our homes. We are forced to choose between groceries and rent. We are denied quality medical care. We are suffering from environmental pollution. We are working long hours for little pay and no rights, if we're working at all. We are getting nothing while the other 1 percent is getting everything. We are the 99 percent.

I apologize for the blurryness.

I am a 21 year old mother of one. He is two months old. His father and I had a long distance relationship before he was born. We are forced to continue our long distance relationship becuase we can’t afford to live together. He is about to be laid off and I was forced to quit my job because I can’t afford childcare. I was forced to work throughout my pregnancy because I couldn’t afford not to. I was only offered ONE MONTH of  UNPAID maternity leave. If it wasn’t for medicaid, I would have no idea how I would have paid off my hospital bills. I am surviving off of what I have left of my savings .  I hope for a brighter future for my son.  I just want my family together.

I am the 99 % and I am fucking pissed.
