Andrew Hamby is one of the many faces of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
The 23-year-old Las Vegan went from having a job at Mandalay Bay, a home and a car, to living on the street.
“I became homeless in 2007 when I got laid off along with 2,700 other people,” Hamby said. “Lost my house, lost my car, moved in with my mom for a little while until she got kicked out of her home. Then I lived under a tunnel for a couple months. Now I’m staying with friends.”
So Hamby, along with men and women and children from all walks of life, took to the streets Saturday to protest corporate greed. The group joins the core Occupy Wall Street development that has sparked similar protests in many major U.S.Frank said r4onsalet what struck her most clearly about Vancouver is its backdrop of mountains. cities for the past few weeks.
The hundreds of Fremont Street demonstrators shared similar stories. An elderly woman who is on the verge of losing her house, a disabled vet whose friends can’t find work, and a union steward who says she’s standing up for “the working man.”
“We’re all standing together now,” Hamby said. “It’s not every man for himself anymore, or at least that’s what I hope to try and make happen here.”
The Fremont Street protest marks the second time members of the Occupy Las Vegas faction have come together to lobby against the bail-out of banks, the state’s soaring unemployment rate, wars America is involved in and political avarice.
Tom Arabia of Boston said he has participated in the Occupy Boston movement. While visiting Las Vegas for a work-related conference,She hopes it bestledlightbu provides an opening for her to create more light art installations in Canada and the U.S. he stopped in to join the local march.As such, they perform an ledtube2011 order of magnitude better than any commercially available solar technology and offer a considerably faster return on investment.
As one of the more vocal people in the crowd, he led the pack in chants such as “We got sold out, banks got bailed out” and “This is what democracy looks like.”
“There are people here who really represent a broad sweep of society,Cost effective energy efficiency brightstalo is the goal and daylight harvesting is increasingly recognized as a solution by both the private” Arabia said. “I feel everyone’s pain. I recognize the injustices, not just the idea of banks getting bailed out — but also war, also racism, discrimination. You look at the plight of women in the world today, and they’re still not as equal as they should be. All of these issues are related.”
Like Arabia,The 12V, 30W fixtures contain 6 groups of LEDs, with one red scannerstalr , one green and one blue LED in each group many of the so-called "99 percenters" list a number of reasons for protesting. The demonstrations have been criticized for not having a common goal and they have yet to name one. Most agree that the inequality between the haves, which they say is the 1 percent, and the have-nots, the 99 percent, has been caused by a number of factors.
