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, just one of the many incisive, deeply-reported articles we publish daily. Now more than ever, we need fearless journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media.

Throughout this critical election year and a time of media austerity and renewed campus activism and rising labor organizing, independent journalism that gets to the heart of the matter is more critical than ever before. Donate right now and help us hold the powerful accountable, shine a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug, and build a more just and equitable future.

For nearly 160 years, The Nation has stood for truth, justice, and moral clarity. As a reader-supported publication, we are not beholden to the whims of advertisers or a corporate owner. But it does take financial resources to report on stories that may take weeks or months to properly investigate, thoroughly edit and fact-check articles, and get our stories into the hands of readers.

Donate today and stand with us for a better future. Thank you for being a supporter of independent journalism.

Thank you for your generosity.
