It Just Keeps Getting Better

Airline pilots march on Wall St. If you think airline pilots are not among the exploited 99%, you haven't been paying attention. Their working conditions are truly shocking. Ditto for flight attendants.

Caption from this photo shared on flickr:

Hundreds of pilots from United/Continental showed up in full dress and made a show in support for their union during an ongoing labor dispute. They stood in an area on Broad Street, near Wall Street and the Stock Exchange

Directory for the Occupy movement coming to your city soon. See you in Portland, Maine on October 1 ! Sign me up for the Arts + Culture Committee, they always have the most fun meetings.

Waking Up to the 99%

Here is what I woke up to today:
1) The photo above, which speaks for itself as captioned. The nurses are with the 99%!
2) The news from CODEPINK that we had received this awesome letter below. The Canadian postal workers are with the 99%!

3) This beautiful blog post about bringing our war $$ home from "the Peace Couple", which was linked to a post on another blog reporting the elegant, poetic response of Occupy Wall St.'s General Assembly to the corporate media snarking that they lack "one demand." So the Duke & Duchess of Peace are with the 99%.

I am so happy about all this solidarity that I have tears in my eyes before the sun is even over the horizon this morning. And I went to bed happy that the 99% begin to assemble on Saturday at 11am in Portland. They have a facebook event up and their twitter handle is #OccupyMaine.
