PRID RESOLUTION
WHEREAS The Occupy Wall Street protest at Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan
started over one (1) month ago; and
WHEREAS Wall Street is the nation’s financial capital; and
WHEREAS said protest is aimed at drawing attention to and correcting the current
gross inequities existing between the “99%” workers without jobs, job security
and income commensurate with cost of living increases and the “1%” corporate
executives with ties to Wall Street, who receive outsize and excessive annual
incomes and bonuses; and
WHEREAS the right of the people peacefully to assemble and protest said
inequities is guaranteed under the First Amendment of the United States
constitution; and
WHEREAS Article 20 (1) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides
that everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association; and
WHEREAS Article 23 of said Universal Declaration of Human Rights further
provides that everyone has the right to work, to protection against unemployment
and the right to just and favorable remuneration ensuring for himself and his
family an existence worthy of human dignity; and
WHEREAS said protest over gross income disparities has grown and is spreading to
other cities within and outside of the United States; and
WHEREAS said protest is completely just and appropriate under the prevailing
circumstances,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT PARK RIVER INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATS hereby
endorse and support the Occupy Wall Street protest and protestors.
