Over the last several days American viewers and readers have thrilled to reports of protestors filling public squares in almost every part of the country from Boston to New York. From Atlanta to Des Moines and on to L. A. It is a season of moment and foment as people from all walks of life begin to reclaim the public space, one which has been dominated by often shrill and bellicose voices from the right and far right.
As a Columbia University professor said today on Democracy Now, this is the first time since the 1930s America has seen a populist street movement of the political left.
Soon I will have more to say about the protests.
And I will be up-dating the links on this blog to include links to the budding Occupy Together movement.
It is indeed a season of excitement and hope.
