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.

We are 28 yrs old and married with three children.

We have $25. in the bank

We are fortunate enough to get medical assistance and food stamps, but not forunate enough to get childcare assistance for our youngest child.  We have to take turns with our school schedules because we can’t afford daycare.

Both of us are enrolled in school, after trying unsuccessfully to find work.  We have an increasing amount of student debt, and we are constantly praying that when we graduate, there will be jobs for us to support our family and pay off our debts.

We have both been unemployed off and on for 3 years, being underemployed in between.

We don’t know how we manage to support our family while in school and with no jobs.  We scape by with unemployment, child support and money from school.  We’ve been pawning stuff and selling on craigslist to get gas money for school.

We know we are always one step away from homelessness.  We fear for our family’s future.

We would go to the occupy wall st. protests ourselves but we can’t afford the gas!

WE ARE THE 99% OCCUPY WALL ST.
