This time, the Left Anchor hosts interview the organizer and activist Yotam Maron about his new book For Louder Days: Reaching Beyond a Politics of Powerlessness. It’s all about his experience in Occupy Wall Street and his experience organizing on the left over the subsequent 15 years. What did OWS get right, why did it fail, and how has the left built on that experience? They get into that and more.
