What drew me to Occupy Wall Street was the commitment of all these individuals for social justice. They were willing to come together, sleep down on this hard marble and concrete, endure the hardships, and that really inspired me to come down and show solidarity.

It’s important because, right now, all politicians make their decisions based on the interest of corporations, and that is very destructive to people and the land. I want politicians to start making their decisions in the interest of the people. The opposite is happening now. Corporations rule this country.

I’m looking for the change to bring about a world where everybody has a fair chance, no one or the earth is exploited and no one is discriminated against. That’s my ultimate goal, and that means that corporate America cannot have any control over the decisions that are made by politicians.
