This pretty much says it all: why we #Occupy, the issues that have brought the 99% together out in public space and the needs to create processes that address the problems we face and generate solutions that are accessible to everyone. For me its all about solidarity, social justice, sustainable economics that is linked to a sustainable environment, and the praxis of universal human rights. We are the 99%, I believe in us, and our time is now.
Last year I completed a M.A. in International Human Rights. I'm interested in the praxis of human rights, the role of social justice movements and the value of tikkun olam to make the world a better place. I am also interested in international development, humanitarian aid, social justice movements, politics, economics, community organizing and the values of deep and direct democracy. As a queer Jew I care about certain issues, but I strive to push discourse and work for real, meaningful, and lasting progressive change.
