Occupy Wall Street Lives On with Sonny Singh & Nato Green (Ep 106)

Looking back at ten years since Occupy Wall Street, the lasting legacy of a “leaderless” movement with no central demands was actually far greater than anyone could have imagined. It was a moment of resistance, of saying enough is enough. Social justice educator Sonny Singh and comedian Nato Green join Francesca to discuss the lessons of Occupy Wall Street and the conditions that were ripe for such an unprecedented action. Plus the GOP-led Arizona election audit goes awry and AOC votes “present” on a billion dollars for Israel’s Iron Dome. Finally, imagining a world without Facebook. And a BONUS discussion for *PATRONS ONLY*, more discussion of Occupy: what were the internal struggles, how did the police ultimately win, and the openings for social movements when fascism is out of the way.
