I AM THE 99 - A protesters story of 2009

in hive-182834 •  4 years ago 

I lost my job and what little of the 401K plan I had just started at an Aerospace warehouse I worked at as a shipping manager. I was in my early 20s when it all happened. I remember being on 4Chan alot then and talking with members of Anon... talking about Occupying financial institutions for their crimes against humanity. Yes, I was marching in the streets of downtown Seattle during this time, it was scary time and still is today.

I made this stencil design and created signs on cardboard to handout to protesters.

I remember being at this activists tent just spraying away inside because the cops were cracking skulls over everything. Yes, I did spray paint some banks but, thats for another post. I AM THE 99 was the mantra and people were fucking pissed. Always remember this... theres more of us then them and they know it too.

So if anyone remembers living thru that cluster fuck of a financial disaster, we're still not recovered from that yet.

I AM THE 99

I chose Alice because I felt at that moment in time it was Wonderland, it was surreal to see this collapse of our institutions but, also knowing this isnt the first time in American history that this has been manufactured. Alice, completely at peace with the Reality shes in.
