Twin Cities DSA at the Occupy Minnesota (Wall Street) Event, Sunday October 9th, 2011

Today, several of us from the local Twin Cities Democratic Socialists of America took part in the Occupy Minnesota (Wall Street) event. 

There is some hope that people are waking up, and confronting the powers. Unchecked corporate power is a threat to our democracy and to social justice. 

Americans of all types were at this event- anarchists, socialists, tea-partiers, Ron Paulites, libertarians, and ordinary people, all protesting Corporate power and its alliance with government. It is not shrill to suggest that unchecked corporate power is leading to a nascent fascism. Average Americans are being asked to sacrifice, while the rich and corporations are not being asked to sacrifrice. Corporate profits are privatized, while corporate losses are socialized.

Join the movement, stand up for your rights. Take part in the Occupy Wall Street event in your city. If there isn't one in your city, start it!
