From the Tea Party to Occupy Wall St and Beyond
Learn more about Personal Democracy Media at personaldemocracy.com Across America and the world, millions of people are entering the public arena and, using social and collaborative media, forming powerful new networks for change. The result is a rising wave of challenges to the political order that are expanding the boundaries of political discourse and forcing new issues into the conversation. At this event, we heard from leading organizers and observers of these new movements, and explored questions like: -Are these movements leaderless, or leaderfull? And either way, how do they make decisions? -Are these movements working within the system or trying to create a new one? -Getting co-opted: A danger or a sign that you're winning? -Is a group still its own worst enemy? -New media and over-communication: how do these movements manage the cacophony they help create? -Is networked democracy to top-down politics what citizen media is to broadcast media? Speakers: Ori Brafman, co-author, The Starfish and the Spider Beka Economopolous, organizer, Occupy Wall Street Marianne Manilov, co-founder, The Engage Network Mark Meckler, co-founder, Tea Party Patriots Jessica Shearer, faith and labor organizer, Occupy Wall Street Clay Shirky, NYU, author, Here Comes Everybody Zeynep Tufekci, University of North Carolina moderated by Micah L.
