Today we number 15,000. Tomorrow we’ll be 100,000. The day after next, we could be a billion people strong — enough to spark a world revolution in how we live, love and think.

From the site:

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.

    I’m not inherently against this or anything, but the page gives me strong “hey, fellow kids” vibe.

      It’s this passage, isn’t it?

        There’s also the part about “kids” not going to school, and, in contrast, “parents” not going to work. Subttly implying workers are parents and vice-versa.
