Miley Cyrus turned 19 yesterday, and celebrated the occasion by taking on a very adult cause.
Two weeks after taking on critics who mocked her weight gain, the singer/actress has placed herself in the middle of Occupy Wall Street – the global protests in which the self-proclaimed 99%, who feel as if the rules favor the rich, have tried to make their voices known – by releasing a new video.
The following three-minute clip went viral last night, as Miley’s “Liberty Walk” is played over shots from the movement, all preceded by the words: This is dedicated to the thousands of people who are standing up for what they believe in.
Miley is not the first celebrity to get involved in this cause. Jay Z got in trouble this month for releasing shirts that urged protestors to “Occupy All Streets.”
