My pictures from yesterday at Zuccotti Park. The Mayor and the police may have decided that protestors can’t have any comforts like tents, electricity, or food, but folks are still coming to the park to protest the injustices in our world and work together on creating solutions. Yesterday a group called Occupy Big Food, that is focusing on the food supply chain, providing access to healthy food for everyone, supporting small farmers and local agriculture, and creating alternatives to big corporate food, was in the park educating the crowd there and sharing their messages. It was very cool.
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.
