Children’s March for Saturday November 26

This Saturday Occupy Denver is proud to announce its first ever
Children’s March.  From our first march, we have been blessed to have
so many young people marching with us.  Some of the most telling &
compelling testemonials  we’ve heard have come from the youth.  To the
parents of Colorado, we invite you and your children to come out and
stand in solidarity with our younger brothers and sisters as they hold
rallies and march for their future at Civic Center Park on 11/26.

Last Sunday Occupy Denver was blessed with a  fieldtrip of 50 or more
7-8th graders from the Logan School.  We were blown away by the
questions they asked, their understanding of the issues, and their
enthusiasm.  We know that the intrinsic human state is one leaning
towards equality, generosity, inquisitiveness and of love. These
qualities are ever present in our younger generation despite the world
that awaits them.

In other countries the children are building iphones, sewing together
designer brands or fighting wars, so we tell ourselves they have it
pretty good.  For the first time in a long time, a generation in the
United States is born that has less opportunities than the one that
came before.

The adults have had their chance.  In a few short years this
generation will be leading the world with their ideas.  They are the
generation that will face the worst effects of the Global Warming
catastrophe that we have done little to mitigate. They are the
generation that will help develop a renewable green energy
infrastructure and rebuild our cities. They are yet another generation
that will decide if America will continue to wage imperial wars or
seek to build cooperation and collaboration amongst the rest of the
world.  Will they live in a world where corporations have more rights
than people?  Will they live in a world of where organisms are copy-
righted and people are mere cogs in a wheel?  Will they live out a
virtual existence or an authentic one, full of real life
possibilities? The answers to these questions rest on all of our
shoulders. The world of the future belongs to the kids, so let their
voices be heard.
