As an Activist Campaigning And Protesting Against Injustice Everywhere I'm thrilled to find myself joined by people all over the country and the world in a new movement--the Occupy Movement -- with a common message that we must focus our resources on jobs, health care, education and other vital human needs rather than war and corporate greed.

We are at an historic moment when our deepest dreams of overcoming war and injustice are being debated--and acted upon--in town squares the world over. It's my wish that in 2012 we will continue to amplify the Occupy movement around the world from Belfast to Dame Street to Wall Street.  From Rumsfeld to Netanyahu we will continue to stand up to war criminals and war profiteers.  We will continue our bold campaigns to boycott Israeli settlement products.  We will keep on supporting the Arab uprising.  We will continue to sow the seeds of change to make this world a safer, healthier, more just and peaceful place for the 99%. It has been the support of Activists from the Occupy Movement in Ireland And Worldwide that has taken us this far. We can help turn the tide further on corporate greed and war profiteering in 2012. We don’t get many moments like this in our lifetime. Let’s seize it!
