MIKE CHECK!
THIS IS A SHOUT OUT- TO THE 99%
What is going on in this movement is the most inspiring thing I have ever experienced. It is the building of connections and the exchange of knowledge that will allow the people of this world to reclaim their power. This is an education for ALL of us and ALL of us are new to this. Many of us just met or have yet to meet and we are ALL learning as we move forward. Right now, we are ALL just people who refuse to be silent anymore and want the democracy we were promised.
We ALL need to reach out and do whatever we can. We need the people from around the area, the state and beyond to step up and do whatever they can. People want to help, but they don't know how. People want to get involved but they don't know what to do. No one can tell you exactly what to do. This has never been done before. Everything is coming together organically. As issues arise, people are taking up the call and propelling us forward. That is all one must do. Everyone needs to stand up and break down the barriers that halt the human race from progression. We are ALL in this together. WE ARE ALL OUR OWN LEADERS AND MUST ACT AS SUCH.
The concept of the occupation, to me, is not about camping, or controlling a particular space. The point is that we, the 99% of ALL people, already occupy this world and it is time for us to reclaim it. Our organizational capacity is only as strong as we make it. We are ALL learning to communicate after being atomized for so long. We are only just building the channels to facilitate things. So everyone please step forward and do whatever you can. Working Groups are in their genesis and many more need to be formed. If there is anything that anyone can do, they must reach out to others to find a way to participate.
TO ALL IN ACADEMY PARK: EVERYTHING YOU DO IS OUTREACH. Strive to make connections, answer questions and solve problems. We must welcome ALL that enter and do what we can to facilitate action.
TO ALL NOT (YET) IN ACADEMY PARK: Get online, Get to the park and reach out however you can. Make connections with ALL of those around you and figure out ways for ALL to participate. Everyone can only do so much as individuals. It is up to you to figure out what you as an individual can contribute and to find a way to do so.
I have been working nonstop for days without rest, stepping up to help in whatever capacity I can. So many people were coming to me for answers at the park that someone said “you are like the mayor of this place.” Although this was intended to be complimentary, it broke my heart. No one of us is responsible for what is going on, we ALL are, and we have a lot of issues to address. So I am taking a step back and imploring you ALL to step up.
We are every race, class and creed and we refuse to remain silent as we are robbed of our strength, our dignity and our humanity. We are in the city of Albany, not just because we live nearby, but because it is the seat of state government, a government that directly facilitates the gambling of lives on Wall St. This government is not responsible to 99% of ALL people, but to the power of accumulated wealth. The only way to prevail is for people to speak louder than money. By lending our voices to the chorus in whatever way we can, we the people will not be ignored. Through the free exchange of ideas and the democratic process, we as human beings will prevail. Together we will find ways in which to right the wrongs of this world.
YOU ARE THE 99% AND I LOVE YOU ALL!
