DESCRIPTION:99Rise Building the Nationwide Movement\n\nJade Batstone and Jessica 
 Nuti\n\nAmerica is in crisis, and our democracy on the auction 
 block.\n\nWe’re here to do something about it.\n\n99Rise is a network of 
 activists and organizers dedicated to building a mass movement to reclaim 
 our democracy from the domination of big money.\n\nWe believe that only by 
 getting big money out of politics – by winning a democracy that responds 
 to the real needs of “the 99%” – will we open the door to finally 
 realizing the progressive promise of the American Dream. We thus seek a 
 Constitutional Amendment and supplemental federal legislation that would 
 guarantee the principle of political equality, as well as ensure that 
 neither private wealth nor corporate privilege could be used to exercise 
 undue influence over elections and policymaking. To this end, we are 
 committed to deploying the most powerful tool of social and political 
 change: strategic nonviolent resistance.\n\nCome hear about our work and 
 the March for Democracy currently happening 
 now,\n\nhttp://www.marchfordemocracy.org/\n\nJade Batstone is a 99Rise 
 volunteer organizer and co-founder of the Next 26. Next 26 engages the next 
 generation of key influencers from a range of emerging San Francisco 
 industries and nonprofit groups.\n\nJessica Nuti  is currently a 99Rise 
 volunteer organizer and works full-time at Global Exchange in their 
 Development department. She also holds organizer and training positions in 
 organizations that support skill sharing for transgender and women’s 
 rights, environmental justice, and getting money out of politics. She has a 
 strong passion for non-violent direct action, and participates in training 
 efforts to ensure safe and effective direct actions.\n\nQ&A and 
 Announcements will follow. \nDonations to OccupyForum to cover our costs 
 are encouraged; no one turned away!\n
