No list o demands
We are speaking to each other, and listening.
This occupation is frst about participation.
Tens o thousands o New Yorkers streamed into Foley Square on Wednesday—laborunions rolled out, students walked out. The occupation o Wall Street grew to resemblethe city we live in. What race, age, religion, occupation did we represent? None o them. All o them.Barricaded in by steel pens, surrounded by a thousand cops and NYPD helicoptersabove, we saw our power refected in their need to control us. But just as this is ourmovement, it is our narrative too.The exhausted political machines and their PR slicks are already seeking leadersto elevate, messages to claim, talking points to move on. They, more than anyone, willattempt to seize and shape this moment. They are racing to reach the ront o the line.But how can they run out in ront o something that is in ront o them? They cannot.For Wall Street and Washington, the demand is not on them to give us something thatisn’t theirs to give. It’s ours. It’s on us. We aren’t going anywhere. We just got here.
