"The scenery is beautiful - wish you were here" postcards from the past indeed no longer paint an accurate picture of the reality of 99% of Americans. In 2018 we have an existential crisis with homelessness at an all time high and a lack of affordable housing.
Back in 2011 some folks started a movement in New York City called "Occupy Wall Street" against corporate corruption and rising inequality, receiving global attention and spawning a surge against economic inequality. Today in 2018 we feel the need to protest daily and we are reminded of what the original protest of the new Millennium stood for and foretold us would happen if nothing was done. Not enough was done and happening it is.
Photographer Carl Posey was on location in 2011 and his captures of the Occupy Wall Street Protest portray priceless historic documentation.
Carl's newly launched Indiegogo campaign aims to soothe your daily urge to protest by providing a stunning collection of postcards, which are soon to be mailed around the world.
