Description
As mobilizations around the country gain momentum around issues of climate change and racial justice it is necessary to think about their intersection with questions and proposals about direct democracy. Marina Sitrin, Occupy Activist and internationally renowned scholar of social movements joins Toward Freedom and The Peace & Justice Center to understand current movements for social change in a local context. The event focuses on topics of direct democracy and "horizontalism" a term that has been widely used by occupy and other grassroots movements hoping to move away from hierarchical or "vertical" types of leadership models and create a more collective process. She is a facilitator and co-author, with Dario Azzellini, of the recently published "They Cant Represent Us: Reinventing Democracy from Greece to Occupy"
