Here’s a thought to all those feeling in alignment with #OccupyWallStreet, but not currently actively involved: If something is keeping you from occupying Wall Street, consider detaching from Wall Street instead.
First, leave your bank for a local credit union. Credit unions are owned by their members and are not-for-profit organizations.
Second, spend locally. Buy local food. Consider trades people in your social network. Look for privately owned businesses or co-ops. Think about where you do business.
I’m sure there are a lot more ways of detaching from Wall Street… and I think detaching could make for a powerful change.
