Post
Let us know who you are. Take a picture of yourself holding a sign that describes your situation - for example, “I am a student with $25,000 in debt,” or “I needed surgery and my first thought wasn’t if I was going to be okay, it was how I’d afford it.”
Below that, write “I am the 99 percent.”
Below that, write “occupywallst.org”
If you don’t show your whole face, please show at least part of it. Despite what the form says, you need not post your full name. Use a pseudonym if you’re not comfortable with a name.
Please have your note be hand written. We’ve found that notes written in marker, in large letters, come out the best, in terms of legibility.
Please do your best to be concise.
Put a face to the 99 percent. Let’s get known.
BTW regardless of what media types are writing, the only thing we are in charge of is this magic blogmachine.
ALSO – The Occupy Wall Street Archives Working Group, which collects and curates the artifacts of our movement for posterity, has informed us that they are also collecting signs written on We Are the 99 Percent for future preservation. If you have submitted a sign in the past, or are about to, please consider also sending the actual, physical sign to:
The UPS Store
118 A #205
New York, NY 10038
c/o Occupy Wall Street Archives!
So that your story may become part of our history.
