People must get active; go outside; get moving. This is a crucial time. You know, massive wealth and capital haven't budged one bit, so far.

We need to create mechanisms and forms of organization which reflect the needs and wants of society as a whole, not just a privileged-oligarchic class of individuals.

If Occupy Wall Street can see their way to more collaboration with the union movement, then there will be a great deal of political action possible.
