Why I'm here

I want to do what I can to make technical or creative contributions to this movement.

Though personally somewhat isolated from the affects, I have been upset by the widespread domestic and international economic and social injustices plaguing our society since the 90′s – when actively followed most and I participated in some environmental justice and anti-WTO/IMF demonstrations. I am inspired by the massive new display of class consciousness that is sweeping the world. I believe that our society is broken in that it currently prioritizes better returns for corporate and investor over equal opportunity for everyone – and that the mass consolidation and centralization of wealth is disenfranchising the 99% of the world.
