The economic crisis has been exacerbated by “globalized finance capitalists” imposing “austerity” measures upon entire countries. OccupyHouston participants and supporters agree… capitalism, aka “runaway corporate greed,” and its governmental apparatus, “the corporate-state” – are “killing the people and the flora and the fauna and the “Good Earth’s” natural resources…”
So what are the 99% saying and doing about it? They are waking up and standing up!
On December 18, 2011 HoustonUnido and OccupyHouston held a pro – migrant demonstration on the steps of the police department in Bellaire, Texas.
Citizen and immigrant speakers, alike, condemned 287g and S-Communities programs. Speakers called for a greater unity in defeating the abusive power of the trans-national corporations and in building a new type of society.
