Does the Occupy Movement Influence Policy? Activists Express Long Term Vision and Goals
Loading...
Uploaded by uprisingradio on Oct 13, 2011
While media comparisons between the Occupy movement and the Tea Party abound, one major difference between the two groupings is the Occupy movements' general refusal to be embraced by elected officials. But the Democratic Party is hoping to cash in on growing discontent, with it's fundraising committee, circulating a petition to gather 100,000 signatures from party members in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement. However, the Democratic Party and President Obama are seen by many as part of the problem. Senate Democrats were unable to unify their ranks this week in support of Obama's weak jobs act that included a surtax on millionaires. It is perhaps too early to determine how the Occupy movements will influence the political machinery in Washington DC.
On October 13, 2011, Uprising host Sonali Kolhatkar interviewed Mark Lippman, member of the General Assembly, organizing for more than 20 years; Elise Whitaker, 21 year old member of the General Assembly and first-time activist.
Laura Mann recorded this interview.
