Tue, 17 Jul 2012 16:27:52 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 JOIN US TO BUILD THE POWER OF THE 99%! http://theunityalliance.org/hello-world/ http://theunityalliance.org/hello-world/#comments Sun, 15 Apr 2012 22:11:37 +0000 admin http://techforpeople.net/~randyj/?p=1 Continue reading →]]> This spring, UNITY is taking to the streets along with thousands of others across the country.  As part of 99% Spring http://the99spring.com/, UNITY groups have helped train thousands of people in non-violent direct action.  As part of 99% Power, http://www.the99power.org/ UNITY groups will be mobilizing to protest criminal corporations Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Verizon, Wal-Mart and Sallie Mae.

WHY NOW?

We are at a turning point in history.  Momentum for radical change is building. The Occupy protests last fall captured the imagination of a country that has been subjected to unchecked corporate power for decades, resulting in rising economic inequality and environmental devastation for the 99%.

In order to successfully confront corporate power, organizations with longstanding roots in oppressed communities are coming together to fight the 1% at corporate shareholder meetings, to give voice to the issues of the 99% that are central to the 2012 election season, and to build people power for the long-term.
