  • Excellent videos. I am a grad student at the University of Florida in the Art Education department and I Occupy with My Art and my life - Thank you for what you do and THANK YOU FOR HOW YOU OCCUPY! Truly wonderful! Peace, Jen

  • What a beautiful video! Thanks for this! A Better More Loving and Kind World is Possible!

  • Representative government is NOT democracy, it's Corrupt-Cronyism. Politicians, like actors are paid to show up and do as they are told while being convincing enough to elicit an emotional response. Whom ever is paying the most is who the system works for. Only when The*People have direct input as to HOW their money is spent, will there be a shift toward True Democracy. Individual Directed Capitalization 65% of YOUR TAX contribution directed to areas of funding of YOUR CHOICE Power 2 The*People.

  • youtube search --> soul force sk

  • Only 4k views? Seriously? That was beautiful. I got chills when the 1% shook hands with the 99%.

  • Lmao NICE guys! Love it and can't wait to join ya.

  • Good concept...nice....but the 1% guy was part of the act, needless to say...I know him, he is a dancer in SF...they shouldn't pretend otherwise (seemed like Rae was suggesting he was a genuine 1%er)
