Dear friends,

   <http://www.avaaz.org/en/the_world_vs_wall_st/?cl=1312958820&v=10622>

*Thousands of Americans have taken over Wall Street* -- joining a global
movement from Madrid to Jerusalem to take back democracy from corrupt
interests. *If millions of us stand with them, we'll boost their spirits and
show the media and leaders that this is no fringe movement.* Click below to
sign the petition - every signature will be counted on a giant live counter
in the middle of the Wall St. occupation:

*Thousands of Americans have non-violently occupied Wall St -- an epicentre
of global financial power and corruption.* They are the latest ray of light
in a new movement for social justice that is spreading like wildfire from
Madrid to Jerusalem to 146 other cities and counting, but they need our help
to succeed.

As working families pay the bill for a financial crisis caused by corrupt
elites, the protesters are calling for real democracy, social justice and
anti-corruption. But they are under severe pressure from authorities, and
some media are dismissing them as fringe groups. *If millions of us from
across the world stand with them, we'll boost their resolve and show the
media and leaders that the protests are part of a massive mainstream
movement for change. *

This year could be our century's 1968, but to succeed it must be a movement
of all citizens, from every walk of life. Click to join the call for real
democracy -- *a giant live counter of every one of us who signs the petition
will be erected in the centre of the occupation in New York,* and live
webcasted on the petition page:

*The worldwide wave of protest is the latest chapter in this year's story of
global people power.* In Egypt, people took over Tahrir Square and toppled
their dictator. In India, one man's fast brought millions onto the streets
and the government to its knees -- winning real action to end corruption.
For months, Greek citizens relentlessly protested unfair cuts to public
spending. In Spain, thousands of "indignados" defied a ban on pre-election
demonstrations and mounted a protest camp in Sol square to speak out against
political corruption and the government's handling of the economic crisis.
And this summer across Israel, people have built "tent cities" to protest
against the rising costs of housing and for social justice.

These *national threads are connected by a global narrative of determination
to end the collusion of corrupt elites and politicians* -- who have in many
countries helped cause a damaging financial crisis and now want working
families to pay the bill. The mass movement that is responding can not only
ensure that the burden of recession doesn't fall on the most vulnerable, it
can also help right the balance of power between democracy and corruption.

In every uprising, from Cairo to New York, the call for an accountable
government that serves the people is clear, and our global community has
backed that people power across the world wherever it has broken out. *The
time of politicians in the pocket of the corrupt few is ending, and in its
place we are building real democracies, of, by, and for people. *

With hope,
Emma, Maria Paz, Alice, Ricken, Morgan, Brianna, Shibayan and the rest of
the Avaaz team
