We’ll pass.

(TheDC) — Former White House green jobs czar Van Jones called on Americans to “stand in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street” and praised protesters’ refusal on Friday to leave their encampment in New York as “truly amazing” and “a victory.”

“Truly amazing,” read a statement released via email by the non-profit organization “Rebuild the Dream.”

“Early this morning in New York, faced with the threat of eviction, the protesters at Occupy Wall Street were joined by union members, by community organizers, and by thousands of other New Yorkers standing in solidarity with them,” Jones gushed. “And because they refused to back down, the park’s owners had to.”

“This victory in New York shows how powerful we can be when we all stand together,” he said.
