HOW TO :

ly about and for which they want change.

I’ve been in countless places where I’ve heard people complain or jest about the protests. Some say they need to stop protesting and look for jobs.

Some of these people have jobs and still see a need to protest.

Why? There are still educated people who can’t find jobs.

Of course they need to look for jobs, yet there does come a time where there are no jobs to be found. That’s when the people need to let their concerns be known in a more tangible way.

There is nothing wrong with making a statement by peacefully protesting and exercising your First Amendment rights.

There are going to be people who are lazy and who never took the initiative to find a job. But that’s life.

We can’t let the people like that make the self motivated people who can’t find a job hesitant to make a change.

There is a bigger issue on the horizon. People want change and they are letting it be known by protesting.

With that being said, I hope more people will look into reasons why Ocuppy Philly is going on. If you have looked into the different reasons why, I applaud you. I just hope people are more understanding of why they are protesting.

Realize all they want is change. What’s wrong with that?
