Washington, D.C.– Today, Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) issued the following statement on Occupy Oakland Day of Action:
“Occupy Oakland’s November 2nd day of action is aimed at bringing attention to the great inequalities that exist in the United States. I join in solidarity with Occupy Oakland to confront the greed of Wall Street and the major banks and demand that the 1% pay their fair share.
“As the movement grows, we are likely to see more actions aimed at underscoring the inequalities faced by the 99% and we should support actions with these aims in mind. I continue to stand with the peaceful protesters in this struggle for economic justice and equality.”
