Occupy Saint Paul is committed to voicing our concerns and bringing attention to the problems within our society stemming from corporate greed, laws favoring the 1%, the nation’s debt from undeclared wars being balanced on the backs of the country’s most vulnerable citizens and the degradation of our rights and freedoms as provided under the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And every day, more topics come to the forefront of the American conversation – the war on women, sustainable fuel supplies the list becomes endless. And without your help, it becomes overwhelming.
Occupy Saint Paul currently plans actions, rallys and demonstrations that allow all concerned people to gather in a non-violent, peaceful assembly in public spaces to discuss and debate the issues that affect us. Please join us in making your voice heard. Details of how to get involved can be found on the “Working Groups” page as well as following us on FaceBook.
Regardless of who you talk to in the Occupy movement, we all deliver the same underlying message: Our government has failed us. Our economy has failed us. Our democracy has failed us.
We Expect You!
Once we were weak; but now we stand tall.
Millions of citizens, heeding the call.
Demanding our freedom, the birthright of all.
The Arab Spring turns to The American Fall.
We are the 99, and we’ll never forgive.
We’ll never forget how you’ve made us live.
Expect us at your door, prepare to defend!
The reign of the moneyed and privileged now ends.
Once we were few; now we grow by the hour.
The lamb sheds its mask—the emperor cowers.
The wolf bares her teeth, her hunger devours,
The gleaming skyscrapers, the ivory towers.
We are the 99, and we’ll never forgive.
We’ll never forget how you’ve made us live.
Expect us at your door, prepare to defend!
The world of the moneyed and privileged now ends.
There are no “job creators”, a “trickle-down” bust.
And time’s running out for your greed and your lust.
You’ve earned no respect, and squandered our trust.
From this day forward, you must expect us!
We are the 99, and we’ll never forgive.
We’ll never forget how you’ve made us live.
Expect us at your door, prepare to defend!
The reign of the moneyed and privileged now ends.
