From Occupy Wall Street to Occupy Everywhere, the Occupy Movement has earned its legitimate status as a global movement for the past three months. What are the possibilities for this movement and what can it achieve or inspire in turn? Where is its place in the history of the progressive movement in this country?

To reflect on these and other questions, The Nation and The New School held a panel discussion, "Occupy Everywhere: On the New Politics and Possibilities of the Movement Against Corporate Power," in New York on the November 10th. Our featured speakers included Oscar-winning filmmaker and author Michael Moore, journalist and best-selling author Naomi Klein, President and Executive Director of the Applied Research Center and publisher of ColorLines Rinku Sen, Occupy Wall Street organizer Patrick Bruner, and veteran journalist and author William Greider.

Democracy Now! produced this special broadcast bringing you excerpts from this panel discussion.

Thank you for reading The Nation!

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read. It’s just one of many examples of incisive, deeply-reported journalism we publish—journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media. For nearly 160 years, The Nation has spoken truth to power and shone a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug.

In a critical election year as well as a time of media austerity, independent journalism needs your continued support. The best way to do this is with a recurring donation. This month, we are asking readers like you who value truth and democracy to step up and support The Nation with a monthly contribution. We call these monthly donors Sustainers, a small but mighty group of supporters who ensure our team of writers, editors, and fact-checkers have the resources they need to report on breaking news, investigative feature stories that often take weeks or months to report, and much more.

There’s a lot to talk about in the coming months, from the presidential election and Supreme Court battles to the fight for bodily autonomy. We’ll cover all these issues and more, but this is only made possible with support from sustaining donors. Donate today—any amount you can spare each month is appreciated, even just the price of a cup of coffee.

The Nation does not bow to the interests of a corporate owner or advertisers—we answer only to readers like you who make our work possible. Set up a recurring donation today and ensure we can continue to hold the powerful accountable.

Thank you for your generosity.
