Occupy in Depth!
This week a Culture of Protest special—a conversation with Heather Hurwitz who’s been doing field work for her dissertation in the UCSB sociology department: “Gender, Feminism and Culture in OWS”. We’ll explore the ways that feminist thought and practice has helped shape the Occupy movement, and with the help of a wonderful range of musical material Heather has gathered, we’ll get a glimpse of the movement as a producer of culture. And, contrary to the conventional wisdom that Occupy is over, we’ll hear Heather’s observations on its many spin offs and ripples. We’ve got two hours this week for a rare inside look at Occupy as an ongoing social and cultural force.

Women Occupy Pledge to Say NO Bank of America!
Bank of America is not “too big to fail”, it has been failing our communities for years. With Bank of America deep in their pockets, we cannot trust our elected officials to take a stand for our families and our futures. It is time for women to pledge to empower ourselves and our communities by saying no to big banks. Big bankers get rich from our stimulus packages funded by our tax dollars. We want our money back! We can’t afford to fail. Will you pledge to resist Bank of America? Click here to sign! |
We, the National Gathering Working Group 2013 (NGWG2013), propose a National Gathering of the Occupy Movement, and peoples’ movements worldwide, in Kalamazoo Michigan, to collectively assemble and embrace our different ideologies and perspectives; to find our common visions; to share our strategies and actions; and to leave this gathering with steps we can all take in both agreement and diversity; for ourselves, our communities, our nations, and for all of us all over the world.
