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’m a 29 year old graduate student. I work and attend university full time. Recently, I was forced to move in with my parents in order to pay for school expenses. Education is essential to my success - there’s no quitting. However, I’ll be working to pay off $80K in student loans for the majority of my remaining life. Next semester field study begins and I’ll be forced to drop to part-time employment. I’ll lose my health insurance as a result. I will be one emergency away from financial disaster. I am the 99%.
