The Future of Occupy (FoO) Workshop at the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) Making Worlds, Commons Forum Feb 16-18.

Delivered by Mary Beth Steisslinger at OWS

This workshop was made up of two parts asking firstly, What are the challenges to successful horizontal politics? Then secondly, Why and how to form knowledge commons for horizontal strategy? Both sections were informed by and inter-linked with the Occupy-Commons strategy workshop, that was taking place before the event, concurrently, and following on from the event online at the FoO website.
