#OCCUPYWALLSTREET This Saturday
#OCCUPYWALLSTREET is a people powered movement for democracy that began in America on September 17 with an encampment in the financial district of New York City. Inspired by the Egyptian Tahrir Square uprising and the Spanish acampadas, we vow to end the monied corruption of our democracy.
Dreamers, jammers, rabble-rousers and revolutionaries,
#OCCUPYWALLSTREET is a week old and roaring strong. We, the people, are finding our voice, realizing that, yes we can revive our democracy. It is beautiful. It is an achievement. And it has the potential to grow into something even more wild and wonderful over the next few weeks and months.
This Saturday at noon at the people's assembly in Liberty Plaza there will be a celebration of our incredible first week. Last Saturday, 5,000 people flocked nonviolently to Wall Street … this Saturday there will be 10,000. And then in the weeks that follow, we will swell to 50,000 … and maybe even to 100,000+ by mid-October. Wouldn't that be something!
For those who cannot make it to Wall Street's liberated space, why not organize #OCCUPYCHICAGO, #OCCUPYDALLAS, #OCCUPYSANFRANCISCO, #OCCUPYBOSTON and #OCCUPYDC. This is the perfect moment to expand our movement into financial districts, iconic sites of economic power and branches of Bank of America everywhere.
According to PBS Newshour, 45 percent of young Americans aged 16 to 29 don't have a job. Economists are talking glumly about a "lost generation" but they've got it wrong. We're the generation that pulls off the second American Revolution.
This Saturday at Noon, let's escalate #OCCUPYWALLSTREET into a nationwide peaceful demand for economic justice.
for the wild,

The Incumbent Must Die
From the tops of the skyscrapers
To the freedom bells that ring,
Let all the registered voters
And poor children sing,
'We have had quite enough,
Of this corrupt game;
We must vote them all out
Or suffer more of the same.'
Politician marionettes attached to
Wall Street banks and Big Oil,
Public interest groups partying it up,
While citizens suffer and toil.
Health care companies
Drive prices to the skies,
Then manufacture candidates
With a hidden agenda of lies.
Campaign finances are kicked back
Through greed and corruption;
Monuments built to the politician's vanity
That contribute to the environment's destruction.
From our once purple mountain majesties
To our diminishing amber waves of grain,
It is time for the incumbent
To feel some of the pain.
For WE have the power,
And we must take it back,
Chase them politicians,
Go on the attack!
Vote them all out,
Tell their lips that all lie,
Vote them all out,
The Incumbent Must Die.

Occupy Wall Street has enormous potential to make all of our lives better and deal with some of this outrageous inequality. But the movement needs to be for something and it needs to be able to translate that frustration into something that millions of other frustrated Americans can get behind. Charles Blow sums it up nicely in his NY Times column today. Also:
