Russell Simmons sat down and talked with MSNBC’s Martin Bashir about his campaign for democratic reform and efforts to revive the Occupy Wall Street rallies.

EXCLUSIVE: Why I Occupy By Russell Simmons

Earlier this week, we observed the May Day demonstrations going on all around the world to bring light to the continuing income inequality that still exists in our government.

As Uncle Rush tells Bashir: 

“It is important that we continue to dialogue. And I have a reason why I Occupy, you know that I believe in Occupy Wall Street for a good reason. The discussion around Wall Street’s control and special interests and undue control of our government continues.

There is a new constitutional amendment being proposed. So long as we’re having this discussion, we’re on the right track. We know our democracy is totally corrupt.”

Watch up above as Uncle Rush spits the truth when it comes to Occupy Wall Street.
