"This is the message we wanted to send to the outside:
Our spirits are high despite the pepper spray, handcuffs and billy clubs.
We are here in solidarity with all victims of U.S. imperialism, those being bombed, those detained and targeted since September 11th, everyone in American prisons and all those who suffer from neo-liberal economic policies.
We are a fearless generation, we will go forward, and we will win. Our unity makes us strong. Another world is possible, and we will settle for nothing less."
Signed,
25 female WEF protestors
