• Occupy Wall Street - The Movement Grows!
  Since Saturday, September 17, 2011, thousands have been gathering at Zucotti Park in downtown New York City, in the eye of the storm of capitalism, to protest the erosion of economic justice, social equality and democracy itself over the past 40 years, during which the living standards of 99% of Americans has declined, while the richest 1% have reaped the benefits. But this isn't your average U.S. protest - inspired by the Arab Spring and protests in Greece, Spain and elsehwere in Europe, OWS is dynamic yet leaderless, organized yet broad-based. The media, the general public and the very politicians are looking to established media narratives to make sense of this movement, but they will not find any help there. One thing is clear: it is time to end our deference to corporate, monied power, and time to hold the banksters accountable for the financial crimes committed against the people of the United States. And, most importantly, it is time to find an alternative to the currently-deteriorating system of capitalism. As economist Richard Wolff emplored a gathering of listeners on an early October evening, "You can do better than capitalism!"
