Noam Chomsky On Occupy Wall Street’s Anniversary and the Upcoming Election

Professor Noam Chomsky discusses Occupy Wall Streetu2019s one year anniversary and how progressives and activists should approach the 2012 election.

Coming up on the Matthew Filipowicz show, Professor Noam Chomsky is here to discuss Occupy Wall Street’s one year anniversary and how progressives and activists should approach the 2012 election.

We’ll also discuss Rahm Emanuel’s City Council Floor Leader threatening to take away Chicago Teachers’ right to strike, President Obama opening 38 million more acres of the Gulf coast for off-shore drilling, and Tar Sands Blockade activists climbing and occupying 80 foot tall trees to block the Keystone XL Pipeline.

We’re not going to stand for it. Are you?

You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community. Here at Truthout, we’re gearing up to meet these threats head on, but we need your support to do it: We must raise $50,000 to ensure we can keep publishing independent journalism that doesn’t shy away from difficult — and often dangerous — topics.

We can do this vital work because unlike most media, our journalism is free from government or corporate influence and censorship. But this is only sustainable if we have your support. If you like what you’re reading or just value what we do, will you take a few seconds to contribute to our work?
