Ryan Hoffman and Lex Rendon on the making of the Occupy Wall Street Declaration

Ryan Hoffman and Lex Rendon, co-authors of the Declaration of the Occupation of New York City, talk to Keith about their choice to use “the most famous list of grievances,” the Declaration of Independence, as a model. They decided to list the group’s grievances now to clarify why they are there, but say they won’t have solutions until more of “the 99 percent” gets involved.

1. OK where the heck is the declaration? I have been hearing

about this Occupy Wall Street for a few weeks now haven't a clue what it is or how they hope to accomplish anything. I would probably like to support it or even get involved if they had some kind a coherent message.

on edit: I searched out and found the declaration and all of it I can agree with. Hopefully this movement keeps growing and eventually the politicians will take notice but I must say I am not so optimistic that will ever happen.

Glad that you found it. I thought it was a very powerful statement and I agreed with every part of it.
