Where is the Color in Occupy? Race, Class and Gender in the Occupy Movement

When a Canadian magazine, Adbusters, issued the call last summer to Occupy Wall Street, no one could predict the response that would follow. Many have pointed to the lack of race-explicit analysis by the Occupy movement and the domination of white middle class participation. Organizers of color involved with Occupy discuss how race is manifested in their city and how Occupy can lead with a race-explicit analysis.

Speakers: Kate Khatib, Christine Schweidler, María Poblet, Janée Woods Weber
