Today at the Occupy Pittsburgh march and rallies, we heard poetry, rappers, speakers from lawyer groups, unions, public service, nurses, students, folk singers, political activists, anons in masks, 1% representatives who support the 99%, feminists, a sociologist, historians, people with signs, people with megaphones, and many more. We saw old, young, black, white, yellow, brown, disabled, strong, clergy, men in suits, hipsters, hippies, guys from the 'hood, couples, singles, funny, serious, happy, mad, all together in solidarity to support the Occupy Wall Street movement. It is true democracy at its finest, in action. this is the best of America, right here in the 'burgh.
If you wonder what our message is, maybe you should turn off your TV. Pay attention. The world is in crisis, and needs your help. Democracy is not a spectator sport. Get involved in your own community in being the change that you want to see in the world. In cities everywhere across the country and across the globe. Join us!
