SOCIAL MOVEMENTS & ELECTORAL POLITICS
A Roundtable Connecting #Occupy, Global Movements, the World Social Forum,
and Elections
Saturday, June 30, 2012, 6:00 p.m. at encuentro 5 (33 Harrison Ave, 5th
floor, Boston, MA 02111)
featuring: Sarah Francis, Jeff Juris, Suren Moodliar, Thomas
Ponniah, Monica Poole, and (chair) Heike Schotten

The Arab Spring signaled a global wave of social movements challenging
inequality, repression, austerity, war, & corporate power. Whatever their
strengths, these movements have all had to give serious consideration to
how they relate to electoral politics. This timely conversation brings
together a diverse group of thoughtful activists and engaged scholars who
have connections to the #Occupy movement, the World Social Forum,
solidarity movements and grassroots organizing.
