YES! Magazine has been at the forefront of reporting
on the Occupy Wall Street/99% movement that has spread
all over the U.S. and around the world. Now the editors
of YES! have pulled together outstanding reports and
analyses of the who, what, when, where, why, and how of
this movement -- especially the ways it ''changes
everything'' in creating a world that works for the 99%
and not just the top 1%. Occupy Wall Street protests
have spread around the world, with a common slogan of
''We are the 99%.'' But there is a great deal of
confusion and misperception about this movement. This
book clarifies the who, what, when, where, why, and how
of this movement. It provides profound insight into the
movement's power, messages, significance, methods, and
impact. The editors of YES! Magazine bring together
voices from inside and outside the protests to show how
the meaning and impact of this movement are much bigger
and more far-reaching than is being reported. The
central thesis of this book is ''This Changes
Everything.''The authors show how this movement changes
(1) how citizens view themselves, (2) what citizens see
is really going on in the world, (3) what is possible in
creating a world that works for the many (the ''99%'')
and not just the few (the ''1%''), and (4) how citizens
can bring about changes they seek in their communities,
nations, and the world. |
