What might it mean for Americans to have access to films and footage of the violent, physical crackdown of the Occupy Wall Street Protestors at Zuccotti Park that infamous morning on November 15, 2011? http://nyti.ms/15xJY4q
I am talking about visuals that never should have been available, as the police forbid the media to be present at this “cleanup.” I am talking about the jackbooted thugs passing themselves off as New York City’s finest, of course, and their violent crackdown that day.
What might it mean to Americans to see and hear a 92-year-old Grandmother tell us about how important “these young people” in the Occupy Movement are to elderly Americans?
What might it mean for Americans to hear from a retired Police Captain who chose to wear his uniform and stand in support of the Occupiers – bringing about his arrest by his brothers in blue? Or a marine veteran as he re-thinks “Semper Fi?”
They speak with intelligence and passion, through their personal, emotional stories about critical issues of our time including vast income inequality, jobs, debt, affordable health care and education, war, the environment and gun safety. Economist Jeffrey Sachs connects the dots and offer solutions for a fairer and more sustainable future.
