For our first (of just three) meetings, here are some readings:
Read "Wealth Gaps Rise to Record Highs Between Whites, Blacks, Hispanics" (just the Executive Summary) from the Pew Research Center.
Read Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz' speech at Occupy Oakland on Saturday January 28. You can find the text as a Note on her Facebook page. Also, it is reposted on A Catskill Eagle and on video at Mobile Broadcast News.
Peruse the graphs of economic data at Business Insider. How well do these graphs capture the lived experience of economic stress in your communities? How well do they explain Occupy (or other) politics?
