The mission of Strike Debt is to shed light on the fraudulent ways commoditized debt exists in America. The events announcment noted, “Big banks and corporations walk away from their debts and leave taxpayers to pick up the tab. It’s time for a bailout of the people, by the people.”
Pitchfork pointed out “The movement’s inability to produce instantaneous, tangible results, which has led many Occupiers to pinpoint debt as a central issue and work from there.”
