Alright you redeemers, rebels and radicals out there,
Take Two.
Ten years after Occupy Wall Street one thing has become painfully clear: the people in charge of our global system have run it aground.
Ecosystems are crashing, financial markets teetering, climate wars breaking out. Suddenly humanity is in a Code-Red Emergency and our world leaders haven’t got a clue about how to get us out of it.
It’s time for another global uprising — OWS 2.0.
But this one will be a little different. Instead of marching in the streets and commandeering parks, we’re calling for a Worldwide General Strike — A Day of Rage Against World Leaders.
On September 17th, everything simply … stops.
If I don’t go to work, then I’m not helping build climate saving technologies. I’ll bow out on this idea. In my country, we voted for our leaders. We have what we picked. Are we going on strike against ourselves? Why not become a leader instead of becoming a discontent follower?
Well, why don’t you just work on climate solutions at home, and give away your findings for free? Surely it’s better in the hands of humanity rather than someone who’ll only save the environment if it’s profitable?
