Love Revolution to Hit Wall Street!

"Love Revolution" Hits Wall Street to Launch getavisionFUND
Calls for Protection for the Health Challenged

Just days preceding America's Independence Day, a group of revolutionaries are calling for protection for the lives of the millions living with critical health conditions to ignite what "REVOLUTION on Wall Street" event organizers call a "love revolution" in both charity and social justice.

On June 29th, on the 40th anniversary of the historic Stonewall riots, people from all backgrounds and sectors of society will gather atop 37 Wall Street, overlooking the New York Stock Exchange and Federal Hall, where the Bill of Rights were signed and George Washington was inaugurated as the first president of the United States of America.

Billed as "3 ways to win 7 battles at 37 Wall Street," the organizers are launching a new charity program: getavisionFUND. The innovative microfunding program redirects a percentage of credit card processing transaction fees directly to people facing serious health and financial conditions.

Partnering with RBS WorldPay and Sterling Funding, this first of a kind program brings together the credit card processing companies with businesses to funnel money into the getavisionFUND, with all funds dispersed to those in need through debit cards issued by Visa and Mastercard. The first established programs benefit victims of blood cancers, such as lymphoma and leukemia.

"We're calling for a revolution of love and redistribution of wealth that directly reaches the health challenged, those who are the most vulnerable and helpless, no matter what sexual orientation, race, age or economic class. If they're not you and me, they are our friends, loved ones or family members," said cancer survivor John Boswell, founder of Los Angeles-based netv.com and the getavision project.

"Wall Street has rightfully come under fire as being synonomous with self-indulgent extravagance and greed run rampant," said Nadia Loren, New York City-based event organizer and co-host of the event. "It's time to dig deep into our hearts and souls to look for the answers. We always seem to return to the fact that love trumps evil for change!"

Event co-host and sponsor, Gianni Valentino, added: "Robert F. Kennedy once said, 'Some men see things as they are and say, Why? I dream of things that never were and say, Why Not?' Our desire is to redirect money from Wall Street to Main Street and eventually to those throughout the world. This is a radically different kind of Wall Street bash. It celebrates social peace and personal victory by redistributing the wealth from Wall Street to those who are battling critical health challenges This Independence Day, we'll be celebrating new avenues to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness for everyone."
