Occupy and the struggle over reproduction: An interview with Silvia Federici

Silvia Federici is a veteran activist and writer who lives in Brooklyn. Born and raised in Italy, Federici has taught in Italy, Nigeria, and the United States, where she has been involved in many movements, including feminist, education, and anti-death penalty struggles. Her influential 2004 book Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation, built on decades of research and activism, offers an account of the relationship between the European witch trials of the 16th and 17th centuries and the rise of capitalism.

The winter of our Occupation is the spring of our movement... a proposal from Michael Moore

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

Friends,

And now it is winter. Wall Street rejoices, hoping that the change of seasons will mean a change in our spirit, our commitment to stop them.

They couldn't be more wrong. Have they not heard of Washington and the troops at Valley Forge? The Great Flint Sit-Down Strike in the winter of 1936-37? The Michigan Wolverines crushing Ohio State in the 1950 Blizzard Bowl? When it comes to winter, it is the time historically when the people persevere and the forces of evil make their retreat!

Occupy Movement: Show me your face

Shot at Occupy Vancouver, this short film is an attempt to stop pretending. From species extinction, climate change, community breakdown, economic instability -- we are facing the most challenging era of human history.

We cannot solve these problems with the same thinking that created them. And yet, unless we create the space, we cannot use our imagination.

This is a call to see each other as human once again.

Activist Communique: Occupy 2.0

By
Krystalline Kraus
| November 29, 2011

It's ironic that Occupy Toronto pulled me in the way that it did, since during the second week of the movement I ended up losing my job as a writer. The same day I got the news, I returned to St. James Park -- half because I had nowhere else to go and half because there was nowhere else I'd rather be.
