American Spring: Occupy Wall Street

Occupy Wall Street | May 8, 2014 | Rabid Ranter

Even the cold early spring of 2012 could not deter Occupy Wall Street (OWS) activists in New York City. People from different backgrounds continue to come out onto the streets. The agenda driving all the protesters remains the same: income inequality, corruption among banks and multinational corporations, foreclosures, climate change, police brutality and above all, the need to get together and talk in person -- not just via mobile phones. It is all about the courage of ordinary men and women to tell the truth to those who hold power.
