In September 2011, the Occupy Wall Street encampment captured the public’s attention. Within months however, it faded from the mainstream media, and many think the movement has died. In this presentation, we will discover some of the ways the Occupy movement continues to bring change to our communities, including Strike Debt and Occupy Sandy . In this presentation, Derek Tennant will facilitate an “Occupy Experience”, based in part on his work as the Facilitator for several General Assemblies held by Occupy San Jose in 2011 and 2012.
