I still remember the feeling of empowerment I felt being a part of Occupy Wall Street, the Occupy Movement. It felt like it could have been the turning point. It was. The idea that we could launch huge national protests against the plutocracy ensured that many other groups would have the spine for whatever action was necessary for a particular cause.
I knew my good friend, Journalist, Professor, and Author Michael Levitin was writing a new book about the Occupy Movement. After all, he interviewed me a couple of times over the last couple of years or so. I had not seen him since we had lunch at the Democracy Convention in Madison, Wisconsin. Then I received an email from his email list. It turns out the book “Generation Occupy: Reawakening American Democracy” was out and going hot this week. I told him I wanted to be one of the first to interview him about the book and the expansion of the Progressive movement. He did not disappoint.
