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 17 years old, the oldest of five children.

My mum works from home. My dad needs extensive back surgery. He could loose his job.

It costs 400$ a week to feed my family.

Not to mention bills - healthcare for my asthmatic brother, my meds, things to keep my father alive.

I’m planning on going to college, but it will bankrupt my family.

And I have four brothers and sisters that need the same.

I want to help, but I can’t find a job. I’m so worried about my family.

And I can’t do anything about it.

I am the 99%
