April 13, 2012

This morning, Tom Hayden joined Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez of Democracy Now! to discuss his recent article, “Participatory Democracy: From the Port Huron Statement to Occupy Wall Street.” Looking back at the Port Huron Statement, of which he was the principal author, Hayden says Occupy Wall Street protesters have the opportunity to “do something” about the 1 percent, “to finally get to the business that we failed to finish.”
