Since we launched Occupy Wall Street thirteen years ago, the world has become meaner, more vicious, more selfish and less human — an insidious degradation of our whole global system has set in.

Big oil, Big Pharma, Big Ag and most mega-corporations are now corrupt. Global finance is corrupt. Meta, Google and X are totally fucking corrupt. Our elections are vulnerable and our sense of truth has been contaminated. And presiding over it all, our world leaders are monstrous opportunists. They only care about staying in power.

Under their rule, we have zero chance of working our way out of the climate crisis and other existential crises we’re in.

So on this anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, let's fire up our revolutionary imagination and try something new. Let’s launch a #FuckItAllFriday Rebellion.



Let’s take one day of the week and just … reclaim it. Make it ours. Repurpose it. Rededicate it to the service of the human spirit and a sane, sustainable future. Weekdays we work. Saturdays we party. Sundays we rest. And now, in cities around the world, we turn every Friday into a raucous carnival of resistance.

Most of us will just have fun . . . play jazz, recite poetry, drink, dance, make crazy love . . . maybe we’ll stick a few OUT OF ORDER signs on ATMs and manifestos on bank windows.

But the rough souls among us will take some skin. They’ll let air out of SUV tires … snarl traffic … block highways … occupy banks and stock exchanges … stink-bomb chain stores and malls … throw pies at the internet mindlords and intransigent CEOs.

Together, we will take Extinction Rebellion to the next level and rage, rage, rage against a future that does not compute.



As temperatures soar, ecosystems collapse, and refugees multiply, our rebellion will grow into a drumbeat for a new world order. Friday after Friday, we'll make the cost of doing business as usual impossible to bear . . . until one day — maybe September 17, 2025? — it will become obvious that We the People of the world have the power to bring this corpo-capitalist doomsday machine of ours to a standstill.

Our leaders will cave. They will do as we say. They will huddle up in a world summit, declare a climate emergency and hatch a strategy to curb carbon emissions.



The beauty is you don’t have to do anything . . . just go out every Friday and be in the flow.
