Walid Hakim Endorses May 1st General Strike
Last edited Mon Apr 30, 2012, 10:02 PM - Edit history (1)
"I encourage everyone that is non-emergency personnel to participate in the general strike on May the first. I believe that a strong message needs to be put out and the people aren’t going to listen unless we bring the economy to a screeching stop for at least one day."
Walid Hakim is a candidate for South Carolina's State House in the 88th district and one of 19 Occupy Columbia protestors who were arrested on the State House last November. To learn more about his campaign, visit http://www.WalidHakim.com
