This was unanimously voted on by all members of Occupy Wall Street last night, around 8pm, Sept 29. It is our first official document for release. We have three more underway, that will likely be released in the upcoming days: 1) A declaration of demands. 2) Principles of Solidarity 3) Documentation on how to form your own Direct Democracy Occupation Group. This is a living document. you can receive an official press copy of the latest version by emailing c2anycga@gmail.com.

Declaration of the Occupation of New York City

As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.

As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.

They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.

They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.

They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one's skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.

They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.

They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless nonhuman animals, and actively hide these practices.

They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.

They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.

They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers' healthcare and pay.

They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.

They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.

They have sold our privacy as a commodity.

They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press.

They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.

They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.

They have donated large sums of money to politicians supposed to be regulating them.

They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.

They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people's lives in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantive profit.

They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.

They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.

They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.

They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad.

They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.

They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts.*

To the people of the world,

We, the New York City General Assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge you to assert your power.

Exercise your right to peaceably assemble; occupy public space; create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone.

To all communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of direct REPUBLIC, we offer support, documentation, and all of the resources at our disposal.

Join us and make your voices heard!

*These grievances are not all-inclusive.

  • The system is the problem.

  • @yoginishan We are the system because we support it

  • @srnatobe Awww you poor little thing. Why are you crying? What are you supporting? Perhaps the bankers?

  • "The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."...Albert Einstein

    Everyone needs to be involved in their lives instead of giving the control away. The bankers will continue their control until people wake up and get involved in controlling their own lives.

  • this is good video!!!and true its all a game and illusion

    yes annoy mus youre doing good please do not fear the humans they have not fully awoken the reptilians are the problem by 15 dna strands are activating now thanks for the message

  • A few odd things I would like to point out about this video: 1. In the beginning, he doesn't state that the root of all evil is money, but says that the root is 'exactly that' (evil). 2. He says that to accomplish this, it will most likely take a combo of the first two mentioned (people & 'unknown cosmic force'). 3. This message is frothing with incitement of violence.

    That is all.

  • @5T4RSCREAM233 let me answer that with my own question. After said bankers fall who takes over the bankers position who loans money and who creates the economy? The government? while we're at it lets reduce corprate greed at 0 taxation create a perfect unity. none gets paid none gets richer. how ever the society produces on its own that is what you are proposing this is called comunismn not open market just to let you know. As stated I do not support either side but both need to know their chois

  • @5T4RSCREAM233 The system is shifting into a new fractal arrangement, thanks to those who see the bigger picture and don't support the current one that isn't aligned with who we are, sharing and love.

  • THE MESSAGE IS POWERFUL THANK YOU! The music is too loud in places - too bad.

  • @DjMasquerade Answer this question. How do you loan money to someone with interest when there is no money in circulation for interest? You have to print more money. The bankers are the problem

  • When the system Collapse your going to feed 320 million ppl, or get them their Drugs, saddening most won't see it coming and Anarchy will come then and most will Die within the first week. I don't think these ppl understand what they're asking for.
