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 28 years old, divorced. I luckily have a job but am underpaid and overworked. I am better off than some and have some benefits but my company is owned by the 1% (my bosses make 10x my salary).

I live hand to mouth, paycheque to paycheque. I have 50k in student loan debt that I won’t be able to pay off until I am 60. I can barely pay my rent and bills. Sometimes I don’t eat for days and nobody notices(cares).

My parents need help but I can’t afford to give them a dime.

I AM CANADIAN! I AM THE 99%! occupyvancouver.com
