I do not want to be the richest body in the graveyard

Pierre Tavares

41 years old

Student of Project leadership

I want to show my solidarity with all the many people around the globe who are getting tired of the fact that corruption and greed are destroying everything. It is destroying our culture, our economy, in fact the whole World. It has got to stop. Many people think that life is about being the richest body in the graveyard. I am so fed up about it.

It is long overdue

Marcus Pauer

34 years old

Volunteer coordinator for Greenpeace in Northern Europe.

I was very amazed seeing the pictures coming from New York. I think something is rising up and it is long overdue. I am extremely happy to see this and I want to express my support for the protesters in New York and around Europe. It is a good cause.

We are the ones that must pay

Christine Jacobsen

45 years old

Unemployed

The people must be heard in this time of crisis.  We are the ones that pay and the rich are not. It is about time we do something about that.

The banks are fooling us

Tor Nørretranders

56 years old

Professor, writer and lecturer  

We must talk about what is happening with our society. Things are going wrong. We are loosing cohesiveness and somebody is fooling us, the banks for example. It is sad that nothing is done about the hunger and the climate. We are impatient.

I will fight for my children

Ann Christine Foverskov

39 years old

Law student

I have two children that I want to fight for. I also want to fight for children around the World. It is grotesque how we tell our children that they must not beat each other that they must not lie and none the less, we see violence and lies every day in television. What we need is some honesty.

I am moved and feel empowered

Lars Munck
Freelancer, illustrator, storyboard artist, collector of antique gentlemens clothes.
35

I grew up with deaf parents, who because of their use of a different language, always have been somewhat left out of society. When I experienced the Occupy movement’s use of hand signs and consensus democracy I was moved and felt empowered. The reason I'm here is because I want a world that holds a greater respect for nature and fellow human beings. I find it problematic the way consumerism and profit have become a religion that people don't question. When I began collecting antique gentlemen’s clothes, I wondered: How can these clothes still exist after 80 years, when a T-shirt bought in H&M lasts only six months? But today things are made to be replaced quickly so we can buy new stuff. This has serious impact on human lives and on our natural resources. We need to start asking questions about how this whole system works. Because I believe it can be changed.

We are thinking too much and feeling to little

Hans Vestergaard

32 years old

IT system developer

I am protesting against the social inequality in the world. I cannot see why the corporations have so much power. The never-ending hunt for profit does not have a positive outcome. We are forgetting our humanity. We are thinking too much and feeling too little. And unfortunately we think with money.

I understand the fear people are feeling

Maddie

23 years old

Unemployed

I could not find a job after finishing my studies in England, so I went to Denmark. I can do many things, kitchen work for example, but I have not been able to find anything. I am in a lot of debt because of my education. It is quite scary to think about going into life with so much debt. So I understand the fear people are feeling around the world. It is affecting people’s lives in a lot of ways. I think it is important, even if your situation is not the worst, to support people that are the 99 %.

We need a new revolution

Bo

36 years old

Student of International Development

I am protesting against what capitalism has become. The system favors the rich. The rich are getting richer and the workers are getting poorer. It is a system that is costing many lives around the world. It is a crime against humanity. We need a new revolution.

Hope and collaboration in spite of differences

Trine Dam Ottosen
Film director, freelancer

I am one out of many people that have been hoping for change for a long time. The Occupy movement is about creating something new together. In Occupy Wall st. they have made it work, and they are doing it on a scale that we have not seen since the seventies. The beautiful thing is, that this movement consists of both young and old, workers and academics, and everyone participates on an equal basis. Here is a movement that inspires hope and collaboration in spite of differences, because ultimately we are all fighting for the same: A better world. My causes are about creating a world much more in balance. Both economically and ecologically. We must use our excellent resources as human beings, to make the world function in a more embracive and brainier way. To do that, I believe we must start from below. We must start from the streets and empower people, including those whose voices are not usually heard.
