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.

My wife and I are lucky that we both work, but I’m 30 and work behind a register. I have a BA in Journalism and make $15 an hour. My wife works 2 part time jobs to help make ends meet. We’ve moved twice in the last 2 years looking for cheaper rent....

My wife and I are lucky that we both work, but I’m 30 and work behind a register. I have a BA in Journalism and make $15 an hour. My wife works 2 part time jobs to help make ends meet. We’ve moved twice in the last 2 years looking for cheaper rent. We both suffer from depression and can’t afford treatment.

We want to have kids.

We can’t even begin to afford it.

We are the 99%
