OCCUPY MUST TRANSFORM TO IMPACT 2012 ELECTION
OCCUPY MOVEMENT should change its name to the “99% MOVEMENT”. “99%” sounds more inclusive, it broadens the pool of potential participants. The “99% Movement” makes it easier for those who are not comfortable with protest to join. “OCCUPY” has come to represent “showdown with police” and the message of the 99% is lost due to all the negative coverage of those trying to sleep in parks. The sleeping over in parks should end, and the “99% Movement” should become a Voter Registration campaign.
