To Our Brothers and Sisters of Occupy Boston:
We wish to express our solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement. Your struggle has inspired us here in Dublin, just as it has inspired people across the world.
While certain problems are unique to Ireland, we see this ultimately as a global struggle, and we stand united with you as the 99%. We hope to open a dialogue with you and find a way to share strategies and support.
You can learn more about our occupation at OccupyFameStreet.org.

I agree, but I think we can agree that the powers that be do not want our kind of movement threatening their vast riches.

We must be prepared to do the same.
So awesome! I hope to go to Ireland and share a beer with our brothers and sisters there, when the world is a better place.
