 * June 13, 2012: "Money, Debt, and the Federal Reserve" with Arjun Jayadev (originally aired on February 15). Dr. Arjun Jayadev is a young Assistant Professor of Economics at U. Mass – Boston with a strong commitment to progressive policies to make the economy work for the 99%. He explains what money “really” is, and discusses matters such as how banks “create” money, why we don’t want to be on a “gold standard”, the role of the Federal Reserve Bank, the differences from a policy standpoint between household and national debt… and what genuinely progressive policies on money, debt and banking would look like.


 * June 6, 2012: "Race and Economic Inequality - Building a Multiracial Movement for Justice" with Camilo Vivieras. The Occupy movement has always been much about economic inequality and economic injustice, but the racialization of inequality has not always been emphasized. The mainstream media loves to highlight stories of middle class families losing their jobs or their homes, but people in racial minority or immigrant communities bear a disproportional burden: first fired, last hired, hugely targeted by predatory mortgage lenders in good times, their communities decimated by foreclosures during the crisis. How can we educate ourselves about the racialized aspects of economic inequality? How are working class people of color organizing themselves to fight injustice? And how can we learn from them, and work with them to build a truly global, multi-racial movement for economic justice? Community organizer Camilo Vivieros will help us explore and answer these questions.


 * May 30, 2012: Eden and David from the Free School University discuss "Occupy and Education". The radical reconstruction of society envisioned by the Occupy movement, with people taking responsibility for the world we live in through horizontal democratic structures and relationships, requires that we educate ourselves so that we can make good and informed decisions about the issues that confront us. But traditional educational structures are often hierarchical, and best serve the goal of forming citizens who are compliant, rather than participatory. What should an Occupy educational model look like? How have Occupations around the country been addressing this need for self-education? What is, should, and will be the role of Occupy Boston's Free School University working group in this effort?

His classes all center around race, gender and social class. He talked about the racial divide in this supposedly post-racial country of ours, and the need, in building unity among the 99%, to address issues that if not acknowledged could divide us, such as structural or institutionalized racism. We, the 99% really do have much in common, and our common purpose can only be strengthened by attention to structural inequalities among us.

 * February 15, 2012: "Money, Debt, and the Federal Reserve" with Arjun Jayadev (PhD), assistant professor of Economics at University of Massachusetts-Boston, whose areas of expertise include international economics, economics of distribution, development, political economy, macroeconomic dynamics, and economics of power.

This FREE series of films and discussions presented by the organizers of The Howard Zinn Memorial Lecture Series will take place at the Community Church of Boston (tentatively) every Thursday nights at 7:30pm through Thursday, May 10, 2012. This series is being organized with the intent to shed historical and social light on our current situation, by bringing people together to reflect on past and present people's struggles, in particular those struggles which are most often buried in the mainstream historical narrative. Check back soon for more details about the Occupied Peoples | People's Occupations series. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The following films have been shown:

<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">Three Thousand Years and Life
Thursday, February 23, 2012 (POSTER): Three Thousand Years and Life is a breath-taking 1973 documentary, featuring original footage of the occupation of Walpole prison. Two years after the massacre at Attica, prison guards at the Massachusetts Correctional Institute at Walpole walked out in response to progressive reforms at the facility. Bobby Delello (a former prisoner who participated in the event) and Jamie Bisonette, author of When the Prisoners Ran Walpole: A True Story of the Prison Abolition Movement (a book about the event) will both be present for discussion after the film. Bisonette wrote of the event: "The prisoners stepped ably into the void—and all-out peace ensued. They shrank the murder rate from the highest in the country to zero. Even more significantly, they worked hard to bury racial antagonism and longstanding feuds so even 'lifers' with no hope of going home could find ways to live together, learn, and grow—to regain the humanity that the system intended to squash."

<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"> Left on Pearl
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thursday, February 16, 2012 (POSTER):  Left on Pearl, a work in progress directed by Susie Rivo, is a film that honors the International Women's Day marchers who turned left on Pearl on March 6, 1971 to take over a Harvard building at 888 Memorial Drive, declaring it the first Women's Center. The film employs multiple perspectives to tell the story of this little-known but highly significant chapter in the history of the Second Wave of the Women's Movement. The event marked a surprise ending of that year’s International Woman’s Day march and through the occupation, hundreds of women tranformed the hopes, glories, conflicts and tensions of Second Wave feminism into the establishment of the longest continually operating Women’s Center in the United States and sparked the development of many other feminist and community organizations both locally and nationally.

The presentation is sponsored by the Occupy Boston Climate Action, Sustainability, and Environmental Justice (CASEJ) Working Group. There will be a 15 minute presentation followed by a 15 minute discussion. A longer presentation is currently being organized that will include a broader comparative discussion of strategies for carbon emission reduction in response to resolutions passed by Occupy Boston General Assembly acknowledging the increasingly destructive impact of the accumulation of atmospheric carbon emissions, and the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions as quickly as possible. <span style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Occupy Boston highlighted the contribution of corporate abuse to climate change and supports fossil fuel nuclear subsidies. <span style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For further information on fee and dividend, please see the following links, provided by Gary Rucinski <font size="2" style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><font face="Arial">   <span style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">: <ul style="margin-left: 40px;"> <li><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span lang="en-us" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <span lang="en-us" style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <font face="Arial" size="2">The Case for Carbon Fee and Dividend <span lang="en-us" id="yui_3_2_0_10_1331049471618515" style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">: The economic rationale for taxing the carbon in fossil fuels (Carbon Fee and Dividend) <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> to avoid the worst effects of climate change, <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">which would gradually increase the cost of fossil fuels while shielding low income households from the resultant rise of energy costs.
