Here are more cool signs we’ve been finding from Occupy Wall Street (some of these are a little lighthearted, too):
“Democracy, Not Corporatocracy”: It’s all about the people with the Occupy Wall Street movement, and the people don’t feel like their vote matters anymore when corporations have the money to lobby politicians. The frustration is that corporate personhood has given the big boys more of a vote than the average American.
“The People Are Too Big To Fail”: This, of course, alludes to the banks being “too big to fail” during the financial crisis. If enough people are determined to make a change, they will become too big to fail in their mission. Like Gandhi said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
“When The Power of Love Overcomes The Love Of Power, The World Will Know Peace”: This is a quote from rock legend Jimi Hendrix in the 1960’s, and it’s as important today as it’s ever been. Probably the best part about this particular picture is the police officer throwing up the peace sign. Aw.
“You Know Things Are Messed Up When Librarians Start Marching”: We all think of librarians as quiet, chill kind of people. But who knew they’d be spurred on to Occupy Wall Street? Cuts in budgets have affected them, too, so they have a stake in the movement, whether it’s with a quiet or a loud voice.
“Don’t Be A Douche”: It’s a pretty simple concept, right? Seems like it, but some people just can’t help themselves. People who are all about being angry or mean can take a toll on the people around them, as well as internally. If someone’s been a jerk to you, do you let it fester, or do you try and turn it into something positive?
