Celebrating the publication of sociologist Michael Gould-Wartofsky’s new book, The Occupiers: The Making of the 99 Percent Movement, this forum will explore the ways in which the Occupy movement has remained active and influential since Zuccotti Park. It will also help us set an agenda for future action.
