<div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>Dear Occupy friends, allies, and comrades:</div><div> </div><div>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.)</div>
<div> </div><div>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.</div><div> </div><div>

<div>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.)</div>
<div> </div><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBvysOStxTw" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBvysOStxTw</a></div><div>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 . :)</div>
<div> </div><div>Enjoy! And share, if you like.</div><div> </div><div>Feedback welcome, of course,</div><div>Joe Ramsey</div><div> </div>
