“OCCUPY WALL STREET INSPIRES PROTESTS IN BOSTON”
Friday, September 30th, Concerned Citizens Gather for the Kick-off of
Occupy Boston
The conversation that began on Wall Street on September 17 has swept
northward to Boston, and inspired a powerful national movement.
Joining with nearly 100 actions in cities from Los Angeles to Dallas,
Chicago, and Washington D.C., concerned citizens have come to speak
out for a more just society.
Occupy Boston will gather at Dewey Square in Downtown Boston on Friday, September 30 at 6 p.m., to begin an ongoing protest, discuss the state of the union and offer specific changes in government to affect a positive social shift.
This action in Boston began with a group of over 200 people who assembled on The Common Tuesday evening to voice their support for the movement. Paul Harris of the Guardian covered the meeting, saying,“[..] the people behind Occupy Boston showed a strong dose of media savvy and organisational skill on [Tuesday] night, as they drew a committed crowd of volunteers to their cause: to occupy a slice of
the city.”
The impetus for Occupy Boston is to challenge the status quo of an
economic system that subverts our government and social fabric. The
top 1% owns 50% of the nation’s wealth – and more importantly uses
this wealth to undermine the founding principles of America’s
democracy.
The movement invites everyone who feels the current system is broken
to join us in a discussion about how we might reform business and
government, and restore the promise of America. Through the direct
democratic process of general assembly, Occupy Boston is working
define and solve the problems we face as a nation. 100% of the
population deserve alternatives to: an opaque and exclusive
government, a Wall Street without conscience, and a state struggling
to guarentee basic human rights.
We will persist in this action until we are joined by policy-makers,
business leaders, the citizens of our Republic in building a just and
inclusive community. We are the bottom 99% of America. We are speaking
up.
