While pundits and the media blow hot air about whether Occupy Wall Street is a movement or not, thousands of protestors in cities across the globe are hitting the streets to make their voices heard. A tinder box of social and economic injustices have moved college grads, nurses, librarians, doctors, lawyers, labor, moms, elected officials, environmentalists, and many others to the tipping point. “The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%.”

Like most of us, they’re not going to take it anymore.

As the brilliant economist and columnist Paul Krugman writes in the New York Times yesterday, “Wall Street’s Masters of the Universe realize, deep down, how morally indefensible their position is. They’re people who got rich by peddling complex financial schemes that, far from delivering clear benefits to the American people, helped push us into a crisis whose aftereffects continue to blight the lives of tens of millions of their fellow citizens.”

Let that echo in the halls of power.

So in case you can’t be there in person, we have put together collages of some of our favorite photos via Time Magazine, Tim Karr, and Buzzfeed for you to get a taste of what you’re missing. We’re also re-printing the “5 Things You Can Do Now” from the Occupied Wall Street Journal‘s second issue.

The time has come.
