We are the 99% and we have moved to reclaim our mortgaged future. Through a direct democratic process, we have come together as individuals and adopted these principles of solidarity, which are points of unity that include but are not limited to:

• Engaging in direct and transparent participatory democracy;
• Exercising personal and collective responsibility;
• Recognizing individuals’ inherent privilege and the influence it has on all interactions;
• Empowering one another against all forms of oppression;
• Redefining how labor is valued;
• The sanctity of individual privacy;
• The belief that education is human right; and
•  Making technologies, knowledge, and culture open to all to freely access, create, modify, and distribute. (amendment passed by consensus 2/9/2012)

We are daring to imagine a new socio-political and economic alternative that offers greater possibility of equality.  We are consolidating the other proposed principles of solidarity, after which demands will follow.

* Occupy Phoenix stands in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street and on 5/4/2012 moved to adopt this statement by consensus.
