We Are the 99% - Occupy Oregon!

These are our personal stories, our reasons for Occupying Portland, Salem, Eugene, (and so on!) beginning in October. In peaceful solidarity with Occupy Wall St. Take a photograph of yourself holding a sign that describes your situation. You can show your face or not, your choice. Be creative! At the bottom of your sign, write occupyportland.org, occupyeugene.com, occupytogether.org, or Occupy [enter your city here]. Send your photo to oregon99percent@riseup.net. I will post photos daily.

I am the 99% Occupy Salem

I am 25 and a single mom. I work with young adults who are disabled. I graduated college with an associates. I have to work over 40 hours a week and I never get to see my child. I have to stay with my mom just so I can pay my car payment and I still owe over $8,000 in student loans. I am the 99 %.

so? This really has nothing to do with anything. Your situation is a result of the choices you made in life. Wall St. Executives didn't tell you to have a child, Wall St. Executives didn't tell you to rack up student loans--single mothers have had this problem for decades and it doesn't have a thing to do with wall st.
