"They're infected with rage!"

Rage is spreading . . .



Althought the initial Day of Rage is scheduled to take place in October in DC, cities throughout the US have adopted the moniker for a day of solidarity with the Wall Street occupiers.  The US Day of Rage (September 17th) which began with #OCCUPYWALLSTREET has spread up the Pacific Coast to Los Angeles and up through Portland and Seattle.  Austin, TX is also hosting a Day of Rage protest.  Madison, WI, will occupy Capitol Square until the 19th.  The rage is spreading faster than zombies can run because in a digital world, information is instantaneous . . .

Meanwhile Algeria has organized an occupation, and Amsterdam launched a whole day and night of Yes We Camp!  And did I mention that Lisbon, Athens, Santander, and Israel are all packing up and marching?

This is incredible that an American movement can resonate throughout the world!  This goes to show how much the world pays attention to the US; if we could create radical change, the rest of humanity would follow.  It also shows that despite our floundering economy (and it's awful that money is equated with influence) we as Americans are still leaders, which makes complete sense since we are the country that ushered in the globalized economy.  We made a huge mess; now let's clean it up with rage!  The nonviolent, creative kind!
