Occupy the Courts: Chris Hedges, Lawrence Lessig, Rabbi Darkside at Foley Sq Part 2

New York, January 20--Today is the second anniversary of Citizens United v Federal Election Commission, a Supreme Court decision which granted First Amendment protection to a corporate entity--thus treating it as a natural person. Joining the National Call To Action in 110 cities to protest this egregious decision, rally organized by end corporate person hood NYC, a working group of Occupy Wall Street, was held at Foley Square with a sizzling line-up. This segment features clips from author Chris Hedges, Harvard Law professor Lawrence Lessig, Camille Rivera of United NY, Alexis Goldstein of OWSThe SEC and hip hop artist/public school teacher Rabbi Darkside. Filmed by Squaring Off.
