The power of workers have drastically declined over the past century- unions and collective bargaining rights diminished, citizens are left defenseless against the rampage looting of the taxpayers money thinly veiled as bank bailouts. We live in a capitalistic system that relentlessly suppresses the wages of workers, slashing benefits, outsourcing for cheap labor and lax regulations. CEOs of large corporations now earn 380 times the wages of average workers. We realize that this is not an inclusive economy that serves the needs of the majority of its people, it is an exclusive one that caters predominantly to a small handful of elites. We need to educate and empower as many as possible to become politically conscious and rise up. We cannot fix this economic emergency without greater understanding of what is broken. It has become more than apparent that we need a revolution that empowers and enriches the lives of all from the bottom-up. Our hope is to create a mass movement of conscientious people standing up and fighting for liberation in its truest sense, a worker’s liberation, one that turns the tide to give freedom and justice to 100% rather than the 1%.
