.Lloyd Cole joins the ranks of the 'Occupy this album' artists to support the growing occupy movement.
David Crosby, Graham Nash, Devo, Jackson Browne, Yo Le Tengo, The Guthrie Family and Micheal Moore have all signed up to the project supporting the protest against the financial world's irresponsible management of western economies. |The movement has seen protests grow in London, New York's occupy wall street and various other sites across the USA and Europe.
The album is expected to be released before Christmas and the proceeds will be split between supporting the Wall St. Movement (50%) and the new protests that are evolving across the States.
The movement started in New York when Canadian activist group Adbusters issued a campaign which began on September 17th in Zuccotti Park in the financial district of the city.
The "We are the 99%" campaign is in reference to U.S statistics illustrating the country's wealthiest 1% standing well above the rest of the population.
Greece and Spain's anti-austerity protests and the Occupy St.Pauls Movement add weight to this global backlash.
