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 28 and grew up believing in the American Dream.  I worked my way up from Community College to a 4 year school with a good reputation on a partial scholarship.  All I have to show for it is unforgivable debt, no job since ‘09, and now on state medicaid program.  I live with my 61 year old Mom who lives paycheck to paycheck.  When she becomes to ill to work, how will I support us?  I can’t even support MYSELF.  My boyfriend of 5 years was laid off in '09 from a $20/hr job with benefits.  Now works for $10/hr with no benefits.  We can’t afford to get married, and we will NEVER be able to afford kids.  Our dreams are blocked at every turn.  Every Day Is A Struggle and we live in fear, with no idea how to break free.  All We Want Is A Fair Shot At A Good Life!

We Are The 99%
