“There’s a lot of messed up things in this world that are interrelated. Our oppression is linked to the dominion of a handful, and that’s why we occupy. When we bring together our bodies and minds, when we share knowledge and face injustice together, we realize pure power and also important, the fact that the system doesn’t control us or our lives; we realize that the system is imaginary, and that we, the people, are real and powerful.”

This is a blog about the Occupy Wall Street Movement, written by my friend Nino Rekhviashvili. She is a student at Barnard class of 2014. She is very friendly and passionate about this so if you want to know more shoot her an e-mail and tell her you know me, she would be happy to talk to you guys and/or debate these issues!

Don’t the words “Stand clear of the closing doors please” make you cringe at some point after a long train ride? Did you ever think you’d be able to request something new to hear?
