Act Out! [42] - Break Free in 2016, Our Corporate Constitution & Get Yourself Some Panoramic Awareness

Act Out! [42] - Break Free in 2016, Our Corporate Constitution & Get Yourself Some Panoramic Awareness
Wed, 12/23/2015 - by Eleanor Goldfield
This article originally appeared on Occupy.com

We're back in the swing of things just in time to send you off for 2015. After watching our Best of Paris coverage last week, get a little glimpse of what's to come for the global climate movement in 2016. Also, I promised a while back that we'd get back to the Chamber of Commerce, so let's dig through the history of this corporate low life scum. And finally, Agunda Okeyo talks art and activism from the global, black female perspective. But first, inspired by Paris, let us walk on silent ground.
