Occupy movement protests can bring change in 2012

THE possibility for real and permanent system change is closer than ever.

With this year coming to an end (one in which Time Magazine named us – the protesters – its person of the year), now is the time to build for the year ahead.

The future of entire ecosystems and economies hinges on what we do right now. We are hard at work here at home and around the world, creating alternative economies, exposing corporate crimes, protecting human rights and hitting the streets to demand justice for all.

Putting community needs before corporate greed, protecting ecosystems, building local resilient economies, safeguarding human rights — all need to be expanded further during 2012.
