We are at a crossroads as a country. We have a choice to make. Greater
wealth for a few or opportunity for many. Tax breaks for the richest or a
fair shot for the rest of us. A government that can be bought by the highest
bidder, or a democracy that is truly of the people, by the people, and for
the people.
Inspired by Occupy Wall Street and the fight for workers in Madison,
Wisconsin, the 99% will rise up this spring. In the span of just one week,
from April 9-15, 100,000 people will be trained to tell the story of what
happened to our economy, learn the history of non-violent direct action, and
use that knowledge to take action on our own campaigns to win change.
Please share this! Thank you.

MoveOn.org Civic Action is hosting the online event registration process but
is not responsible for the content or programming of the trainings or for
the planning or organization of any specific actions. The 99% Spring is a
collaborative effort between many organizations to train over 100,000
Americans in the basics of nonviolent direct action—not an electoral
campaign.
