• The top 400 richest people in the US have the same wealth as the bottom 150 million. Job growth was zero last month (July, ’11). One third of those who were in the middle class have fallen to the lower class. And 64% of people in the U.S. cannot withstand a crisis costing $1,000 <>or more. Now is the time for the 99% to take the power from the top 1%.

• The Richest 0.1% Have Launched A War On Us

This is a slogan that came out of a weekend of meetings by the organizers of october2011.org. So many people in this country have been taking action for peace, health care, jobs, housing, education, a clean environment, human rights, economic justice and more for years; so, you may ask,

“What starts here?”

Each of us may answer this differently.

For the organizers, what starts on October 6, 2011 is a new approach. This action brings us together to work in solidarity. This action is more than a rally. We are staying. This action will both stop the machine, through resistance, and create a new world using evidence-based solutions to our crises. This action starts an independent movement to end corporate control of the political process and media and to begin a more democratic society in which the voices and will of the people are heard. We will put human need before corporate greed.
