Oct 2015

and I wasn't inspired to do anything until Bernie Sanders came along to show me that yes, someone in the house has the voice of the people.

Now I'm standing.

I remember seeing the Occupy movement and thinking that that was something I could totally get behind. But I just thought it was a movement up in New York City.

Now that Bernie is here, the fight truly feels like it's on the national level.

Now that I'm active with this movement, I'm surprised at looking back and seeing the silence that followed as well. It's crazy.

So now that the message is loud again and the numbers are greater, we need to carry Occupy further than before.
