Many people have different reasons... I think its about money, corruption, a system rigged, most of the people living at the rigged came of the wealthy.. AND those people who are "wealthy" are only "wealthy" due to the money in their bank account and the power that we, the 99%, give to money that keeps them in "power" and the game rigged. Real wealth people value and labor. Those at the top of the system have engineered a world in which those at the "top" have figured out a way to steal the labor and the value of people and nature to keep us on their rat wheel.

Awaken! Realize that at a basic level no matter what ur background, color, religion, etc people want peace and to be with their family, friends, community, and want to live in a fair, just world where people are able to live in peace, love, and comfort. The game is rigged to divide us, to create fear, to educate our children based on their view of how the word should operate... They utilize media, politics, fear, hate to keep people in a chaotic, normalized state. In the US we work harder, to get further behind.. to the point that we have "no time" to protest, to involve ourselves in our politics, to know our community, to even have time to be with our families. The occupy people have taken a stand to say NO. To occupy their space. To give voice to people who have been thinking things have got to change. We can't keep going down this spiral. Its amazing. I'm so happy to see this in my lifetime. We have an opportunity to examine the system and think about how it should work to favor all the people in a humane, fair, and peaceful manner, while realizing there are 7 billion of us inhabiting the earth and we need to figure out our shared interest in sustainable living practices along with thinking towards our future.. Being good stewards for ourselves and to our planet.

this is what occupy means to me.
