Below are the words for the "mic check" at NGLTF's Creating Change conference:

MIC CHECK

MIC CHECK



GREETINGS FROM THE GRASSROOTS

GREETINGS FROM THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT

FOR THE PAST FOUR MONTHS

QUEER AND TRANS PEOPLE

HAVE JOINED THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT TO SAY

WE ARE THE 99%

QUEER AND TRANS PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN

A PART OF THE STRUGGLE

FOR EQUALITY AND JUSTICE

LIKE EVERY PERSON IN THIS ROOM

WE CREATE CHANGE EVERYDAY

OUR EQUALITY CAN'T BE MEASURED

BY FOUR LETTER ACRONYMS

AND FULL EQUALTIY GOES BEYOND

LEGAL AND LEGISLATIVE MEASURES

TODAY OUR MESSAGE IS SIMPLE

WE ARE NOT A WEDGE ISSUE

WE ARE NOT EQUAL IF SOME OF US ARE NOT EQUAL

FULL EQUALITY NOW

FULL EQUALITY NOW

JUSTICE AND EQUALITY FOR ALL

TWO OF THE MANY LESSONS FROM THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT

ONE

YOU CAN'T EVICT AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME

AND TWO

WE ARE THE 99%

AND SO ARE YOU

FULL EQUALITY NOW!

FULL EQUALITY NOW!
