Synopsis

We Are Many is a reflection on Occupy from within the heart of the movement itself. Examining key questions: What worked? What didn't? Why? How? Is it reproducible? The authors and activists in this collection point toward a movement-based framework for future organising. Heavily illustrated and annotated, We Are Many is a celebration of what worked and a thoughtful analysis of what didn't. Contributors include David Graeber, Yotam Marom, Tom Morello, Frances Fox Piven, Gan Golan, Cindy Milstein, Kristian Wiliams and many more.

About this title

Review:

We Are Many brings together a chorus voices straight from the trenches of the Occupy movement, offering an honest, open series of self assessments and thoughtful critiques, and opening numerous windows into what might lie ahead. If participatory social movements are to learn from Occupy and continue to evolve, then this book is a firm step in the right direction. --Gan Golan, co-author of Goodnight Bush and The Adventures of Unemployed Man

It is all too rare that in the process of creating the movement and living the moment, participants and thinkers step back and ask the most pressing questions. This book is an important step. --Marina Sitrin, author of Horizontalism
