Occupy Wall Street's Anger isn't Enough: How the Push for Change Can be Sustained
More than two years ago, on a brilliant July morning, we were two of about 350 New Yorkers who took to Wall Street to decry what we called "the recent economic collapse and current depression... devastating scores of millions of Americans."We were from every corner of the metropolitan area, African American, Hispanic and white. Our delegations visited each major Wall Street bank. At the same moment, organized citizens in Charlotte, Washington, Chicago, Boston and London were doing the same thing. It was a coordinated campaign led by the pastors, rabbis, imams and lay people in hundreds of religious and civic institutions associated with the Metro Industrial Areas Foundation.
