but I do know a few people who are at least asking the right kinds of questions, starting the necessary conversations and actually working to connect climate and economic-justice organizing across the country. As it happens, more than a few of them were engaged in Occupy. (David Graeber should be proud.) They point to a convergence of movements for economic democracy and climate justice, and show us what a trajectory from Occupy to something new—call it climate democracy—might look like.

OWS has the energy needed to give a spurt to those movements that have been around for a while. And rather than have many different groups, I think UNITY of all these organizations would give more power to those who have been struggling against impossible odds to try to reverse the damage done by Corporate influence on our government.
