Debbie has been confirmed as one of the artists who will appear on the Occupy Wall Street benefit album entitled “Occupy This Album: A Compilation of Music By, For and Inspired by the Occupy Wall Street Movement and the 99%.” The album is scheduled to be released in the spring.

“Our Mission: to inspire and celebrate through music the Occupy Wall Street movement and the 99% who’ve been adversely affected by the economic corruption that has permeated our Democracy, created a near insurmountable disparity in wealth, and hindered life, liberty, justice and the pursuit of an honest living for all. Music For Occupy is in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street, and all proceeds above board attained through the production and distribution of “Occupy This Album: a compilation of music by, for and inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement and the 99%” will go directly towards the needs of sustaining this growing movement.
