RE:#OccupyWallSt, TO: those of us sitting on the fence….
Let’s support the Occupy Movement by considering ourselves part of it. Which we are because we are the 99%. Eliminate the us and them dynamic I’m hearing. Let’s do what we need to do as individuals or as members of an organization by considering yourself a leader in the movement, which we as Black people have always been in struggles for justice in this country. As Black people ONLY we have the experience and legacy of leadership needed to take this movement to the next level. We are the leaders of this movement. We only need to take our place.
Let us know what you are doing as individuals or organization in your communities so we can share it at Wild Roots Media.
