SPOTLIGHT ON THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION Voices of American Democracy
One year ago the grassroots “Occupy” movement spread strongly and quickly throughout American streets, media and consciousness. The movement has waned from the public eye, but the underlying ideas are still being voiced. Many are worried about inequality, poverty and the great role that money now plays in political elections.
Amy Goodman argues that these issues are a threat to American democracy. She will explore the causes of this sentiment and also touch upon a variety of other issues ranging from foreign wars to climate change and capital punishment to voting rights.
This event is part of our October mini-series, Spotlight on the Presidential Election. The other events in this series are:
