We Are the 99 Percent

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 27 years old. I have a child, and my partner of 8 years and I both have jobs. I am TERRIFIED to graduate college, I will owe over 50,000 in student loan debt and I am having doubts my two A.S. degrees and my B.S. in Ecology will get me anywhere. We both work hard, but live paycheck to paycheck. We have no health insurance and hope we never get sick because we can’t afford to pay medical bills. All we wanted was to have decent paying jobs, decent medical care, and to be able to purchase a decent home for our child to grow up in. We are hard workers who DESERVE it! We are the 99%!!!
