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 am 28yrs old. Though I now live with a loving partner (who works as a public school teacher) I still identify as a single mom.  I am a survivor of domestic violence, which left me temporarily homeless & often struggling to provide food for myself and my son.  I have never been able to afford legal representation for escalating family law issues.

I have a liberal arts BA and $10K in student loan debt.  I don’t have a credit card, which means $0 debt, but bad credit.  I have not had health insurance since 2004, except for during my pregnancy.  Cursed with genetically bad teeth, I haven’t seen a dentist since 2004.

I have struggled with chronic depression most of my life but cannot afford mental health care.  I can’t afford new technology to continue dodgy freelance work or education to change careers.  I am not eligible for unemployment benefits.

I am in constant fear of scarcity and helplessness.

WE ARE THE 99%
