Hello and welcome! If you are here it is because you have found/happened upon/or sought out the 99% (99-percent) website set up by Mark E.Thomas. I am Rich; I am the National Groups Co-ordinator, providing support and guidance to local groups around the UK, but more specifically for here, I am the West Midlands coordinator and lead. I was drawn to the movement by the idea my children may be financially disadvantaged by how 'we' run our economy. If you share similar concerns then I urge you to be part of a force for good - one that intends to reshape and moralise our economic strategy. Please do have a good scout around the website - I'm sure that 99 percent of your questions can be answered! For the 1 percent that can't we intend to hold a series of local meetings - please do look out for details here. For now, I want to thank you for visiting and sincerely hope you will stay with us - and help form the future.

Dear Friends,
If you are part of the 99% - and there is a 99% chance that you are - then you are part of the first generation in living memory who can expect to be poorer than your parents, even as the economy continues to grow.
At the same time, we are witnessing accelerating climate change because, apparently, “we can’t afford to tackle it.” How, when the figures show that the country is richer than it has ever been, can we be unable to afford to protect our civilisation?
Come and hear Mark E Thomas talk about his new book 99%:Mass Impoverishment and How We can End It. Discuss the problems and their solutions. And maybe get involved.
Mark will be speaking at 'The Big Green Conversation' event at the Left Bank Village, 7.30pm - 9.30pm, Wednesday 25 Sep 2019.
If you are genuinely concerned or just curious - then why not pop in and meet us - those quiet, nagging questions rolling around inside your head may just find there is an answer!

Dear Friends and Visitors,
Primarily for those interested parties I don't yet have specific contact details for, I post this:
Following on from the successful Left Bank event 'The Big Green Conversation', members of the Hereford Group will be having a get together in the café area of Hereford Courtyard Theatre at 7pm on Thursday 17 Oct to assess the progress made to date and look at what may be the appropriate follow-on activities, primarily in respect of future events and meeting considerations.
So, if you are at all interested in the Organisation's vision - or indeed just curious - then I offer you the opportunity to meet with current members, including the Organisations' Founder, Mark E Thomas, at this informal meeting of minds!
You are most welcome to come and go as you please - but your engagement, whatever your views, would be most appreciated.
I hope you may consider this an opportunity to better the space we, and those who follow after us, will live in.
With best wishes - and hoping to meet you all soon,
Rich

The Herefordshire Group has now renamed itself the North and West Group, to reflect its membership since going virtual after lockdown.
See the new Group thread.
