Hi guys.

(First of all, sorry about my english, I'm doing my best and I'm really tired after so many ours in the streets lol ;) )

We made history today, 'cause its the first time we, people from all over the world, marched together for the same reason, to claim for justice. For a better economic system which doesn't leave people behind.

I'm glad to see, we are learning to use the internet for a really good purpose, to create a real globalization, that which affects people and not only money.

We proved we can work together. Its the internet era, news run faster than light nowadays. Its not so easy for them to lie to us all the time. Lets use this tool to make our world better, all together, the working and middle classes all over the world!!

There were some disturbs in Rome, and rightish media are using them to criticize us. Ok, lets ignore them. We know the truth.

We're hearing that NYPD is being really repressive. Hope it doesn't go further. You're being brave guys. Its the same everywhere with police you know, but NYDP is being specially violent and repressive, thats the impression we've got here from the news we've got. One never knows....

Hope this doesn't stop here. Hope we can keep on fighting together and we manage to change things for the better....while looking at the map with all the demostrations around the world I was thinking....."Europe, North America, Australia, South America and a little bit of Asia......." where's Africa?.

People ask what are our reasons. People even say we have no reasons.

There's a continent in our planet where people is too hungry to even make demostrations. Thats, for example, one reason to keep on fighting. For justice.

Stay safe and good luck :)!!

Y tu tambien! :)

Regarding Africa, it's a good point. It makes me think about how fortunate we are to even have the time and energy to protest about abstract ideas of justice - we're not really desperate to survive, yet. First world problems as some would say.

I don't think that makes what we're doing less valid or important, but I think that you're right that we should keep the less fortunate of the world in our thoughts and vow to fight for them, as well.
