On the one year anniversary of Occupy, activists dropped 99 banners listing why campaign finance reform is essential for democracy.

Thousands have filled downtown NYC and Wall Street, and thousands more are expected to march tonight in San Francisco. Join Global Exchange and other allied organizations as we march on the streets of San Francisco to mark this one year anniversary of the Occupy movement.
