The Presidential Campaign and Occupy
Lots of fireworks at WBCR last night, when the crew for Sex And Politics had a mini-debate starting at 5:15 around the issues of foreign policy that were going to be the topics for the last Presidential Debate later that evening. We had a really lively discussion about women’s rights and birth control, and my […]
Enough politics! Time for Artsy-Fartsy!!
Okay, I’ve been writing too much about politics lately. This is a site about arts and culture and the Occupy movement, and although I do my best to illuminate that discussion, it occurs to me I should… share something fun. A couple of months ago, I was asked to write a Subway Monologue for the […]
The Dumpster Divers!!
So I’m minding my own business walking home from an evening meeting in Park Slope and who should I meet by accident than my bud Kathleen Stansell. For those of you following her on WBCR these days, you’ll know that Kathleen has been leaning toward a different flavor of activism–food activism as exemplified in the […]
Greenham Common: The first Occupy?
In honor of Women’s History Month, I thought I’d give you some women’s history from a few decades back. It was 1983 and the world was closer to nuclear confrontation between the US and the Soviets than it had been since the Cuban Missile Crisis. More than a few of my writer friends have become […]

This is from the Occupy May Day protest. Kathleen Stansell organized a marvelous Maypole dance in Union Square. And thanks to Bill King, who shot this video.
Greenham Common and the first Occupy (preview)
I’m writing a long post on the history of Greenham Common. Long story short–the protesters at Greenham camped out for some ten years in front of a US b52 airbase that was keeping first-strike weapons on high alert. But that protest eventually got the airbase shut down. And in recent months, as a memorial was […]
James Eagan Holmes and My Black Bloc story
Like most of us ‘Muhricans, I’ve been transfixed by the events in Aurora, Colorado. James Eagan Holmes was arraigned this morning for the crime of turning a movie theater into a shooting gallery. The memes floating about this AM about this story are many. Apparently one can arm oneself with 6,500 rounds of ammunition online, […]

Through this movement, artists are creating theatre, music and spoken word productions that can be toured to protest sites and community events. […]
