The only thing that will weaken the powerful is a unified economic strike.
Writing to legislators doesn't work. Protesting draws attention, but is forgotten as soon as parks and other public meeting places are forcefully cleared. The 99% is angry, and only the 99% is listening. NOW IS THE TIME FOR ACTION!
The most powerful tool that the 99% has is its money. If the 99% were to unify in a systematic economic strike against the 1%, that minority would have no choice but to submit.
They are only powerful because we give them our money.Let's stop giving them our money!
Imagine what would happen if...
- The 99% pulled all its money out of big banks and moved it to local credit unions and other community-based financial institutions...
- The 99% pulled all its money out of Fortune 500 stocks and reinvested it in socially-minded and environmentally-friendly ones...
- Other economic strikes were to occur...
The 99% could begin to get its voice back!
