From Portugal - now on the rapacious neo-liberal clutches of the IMF & sus muchachos - our deepest solidarity with your movement.
We don’t have a Liberty Square here in Lisbon, but we do have a Liberty Boulevard - which do I hope to see also occupied one day, in protest, for many many days.
You are a beacon for many people, all around the world. For us here too. Let the proverbial global influence of what happens in America, this time, arrive through you - citizens with courage to stand for justice! - and not through hollywood or coca-cola, or monsanto, or... wall street.
Let’s keep the occupation alive! No surrender! Resistance, sisters and brothers. We're together and we're many! Fortitude and resistance!
WE are on the right side of history.
Thanks for your support! We will do our best to be worthy of your trust. Also, may Portugal become free of the elite 1% and find prosperity for your 99%..
Working people in all corners of the world have more in common with each other than with the decision makers. Good luck in Lisbon. We'll hold it down here in the states.
That's the spirit! We're all together in this. All the luck for you guys!
