I support Occupy Wall Street for sure, but I cannot strike for work or school on that day. I would literally lose my job. I am a graduate student, so absence from class isn't really an option. I want to do things to help the movement, but I cannot do things like this.
We all do what we can. No need to beat yourself up about it.
The shame of it is how many people I've met that are in similar positions. I remember when a camp was still going in my town, and having people show up late at night to drop off food and firewood. It'd be nice to have a huge ground impact all the time, but the sad part is people are overworked and under-budgeted to the extent that most can't afford the time.
Right, exactly. I'm a big fan of Change.org, because I can go online and sign petitions even when I am exhausted from work and about to go to bed. I think the Occupy movement needs to have more ways people can support it online and still make an impact.

Of course May 1st. It's a the communist/elite holiday.
wah?
International Workers' Day (also known as May Day) is a celebration of the international labour movement and left-wing movements. It commonly sees organized street demonstrations and marches by working people and their labour unions throughout most of the world. May 1 is a national holiday in more than 80 countries. It is also celebrated unofficially in many other countries.

And it was born in the USA too.
