Occupy anniversary: The movement still has momentum

This Changes Everything: Occupy Wall Street and the 99% Movement.

by Sarah van Gelder and the staff of Yes! Magazine, eds.
(Berrett-Koehler Publishers,
2011;
$9.95)

Published in 2011, shortly after the Occupy movement began, This Changes Everything was published offering insights for the many already involved -- actively protesting or expressing support in other ways -- and for the millions more who sympathize with the goal of a more equitable and democratic future. This Introduction is excerpted from the book.

Something happened in September 2011 so unexpected that no politician or pundit saw it coming.
