Dear Occupy friends, allies, and comrades:
Through my involvement with the Occupy movement here in Boston, I have been
invited to speak as a guest on two recent television programs. One is local
(the Dorchester-based Boston Neighborhood Network), the other international
(Russia Today). One was an hour-long discussion. The other an eight minute
spot. (They both say they want to have me on again, as well, which is
encouraging.)

I wanted to share them with you all, both to extend the conversation, to
get your feeback, and perhaps so that--if you find them of use--you can
forward or post them as you see fit.

This hour-long discussion, between socialist scholar Victor Wallis, myself,
and Theodoros Kiros, the host of the Boston Neighborhood Network show
"African Ascent" really came out well in my view. I felt like we hit the
bulls-eye on a number of occupy-related issues. I share it here not only to
extend the conversation about Occupy, and for feedback (on both content and
form), but also because I think this video itself--or some part of it--
might be something that could potentially be of use in classrooms, (or on
facebook!) where occupy is--or could become--a topic up for discussion and
analysis. (The actual discussion starts about 7 minutes into the program.)

This short segment, produced by the D.C. based US-office of Russia Today,
deals with the state of occupy 3 months in. It was my first time using
SKYPE for anything, actually. She kinda cuts me off towards the end, as I'm
making a pretty crucial point, but I think a few key points came through
pretty well, I think . :)
 Enjoy! And share, if you like.

Feedback welcome, of course,
Joe Ramsey
