OCCUPY COMIX: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ISSUE 3- MONEY
Deadline: June 29th, 2012
“Money is any object or record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts in a given socio-economic context or country.”
That is the Wikipedia definition of money. Money has also been described as the root of all evil. Another wise man said “Mo Money, Mo Problems”. Certainly for the 99% money has always seem like a problem we would like to have more of. Within our capitalist system money provides access to resources, tools and privileges. The more you have the higher up in society you can go. Money equals success…or maybe not?
This Global Financial Crisis that we find ourselves in can be said to have its roots in such thinking. Maybe we should take this time to rethink our relationship to money and maybe even money itself. Can we develop new ways of creating value? Can we create an alternative system of Trade? These and more are the questions we want you out there to answer with art and stories.
The 3rd issue of Occupy Comix theme will be Money. This summer the Occupy Comix crew will be traveling all over the country supporting actions that will shed light on and fight back against the corrupt Wall Street banks that are sucking the life from us. The Bank vs. America action by UNITY and Right to the City in Charlotte, NC a few months ago is a perfect example: http://youtu.be/AuYkrT0u2hU
Help us build a story for the movement that shows how the 99% can and will win!
