I am 26 years old.

I live with my parents. I have a BS in Aeronautical Engineering.

I have over $30K in student loans. ($400/mo.)

I make $11/hr at my current job.

I have friends who got jobs making:

NUCLEAR SUBMARINES

GUIDED MISSILES

UNMANNED COMBAT AERIAL VEHICLES

WEAPONS SYSTEMS

MILITARY SOFTWARE/HARDWARE

I have a question:

If I refuse to work for a defense contractor as an engineer, where can I get a job that doesn’t involve KILLING PEOPLE?

I realise I am fortunate enough to have a job, a home, medical coverage, food, a car, and other things.

Many aren’t.

I also realise that the reason my friends and I are is the same reason many aren’t.

I am the 99%

I’m tired, I feel sick and revolted by this society of individualism and contempt. Everyday I get up - not wanting to get up - with the feeling that today, once again, nothing will change. 8 hours work minimum every day to hardly afford a living.

Everywhere I see misery, indifference and tiredness.

We lose our time earning money to survive and feed the rich and the ploutocracy.

In my country, trade unions used to be strong but now they have become a part of that system I fight. We must take our lives back into our own hands.

Solidarity, mutual aid, union, collectivization, are the values that must become the common base of our society.

We are the 99%

I’m the 99%
