Great Meeting: Another OWS Experiment in Direct Democracy
April 9, 2012 in OWS, Smile Inducing
Part 1
In the 1850s the 1% convened at Union Square in New York City to figure out how to push their agenda forward. On April 4, 2012, the 99% convened to think about the rest of us. Long a hot spot for radical activism, Union Square is the perfect spot for the 99% to come together and discuss what we see today, what we’d like to see, and how we think we might get there. The great meeting is just another experiment in direct democracy. In this clip you’ll see highlights from the break out group I was involved in discussing “What we see.” Each of us have different reasons for why we Occupy. This is a small window into the world of OWS.
