before OWS,
because like it or not,
the World Wide Occupy Movement is now a part of our history and our National Fabric,
and it is here to stay.
Like ALL movements for Justice,
Occupy stands on the shoulders of those who fought for justice in past generations.

See It,
Recognize it,
Aren't afraid to point it out,
and join together to OPPOSE it![/font]
If you don't fight injustice,
you are part of the injustice.
