From Wall Street to Main Street, the Future at Stake
By Norman Solomon
On a beautiful autumn day, hundreds of people gathered in downtown San Rafael to call for basic change. The signs varied, but in essence they gave voice to hopes for democracy instead of “corporatocracy.”
We were on a main street, opposing rule by Wall Street.
The upsurges of Fall 2011 have been much more than a wave of protests beginning with “Occupy Wall Street” actions in the nation’s mightiest financial district.
From Manhattan to Marin County and beyond, people are anguished, disgusted, angry and -- increasingly -- determined.
And we should be determined. The future is at stake.
Corporate power is fundamental to what ails our country. The remedy is genuine democracy.
