Explore the enduring impact and future of Occupy Wall Street (OWS) with renowned writer Michael Levitin, who was present during this groundbreaking socio-political movement in 2011. Levitin's book, Generation Occupy, provides an accurate historical account of OWS and its far-reaching consequences. Contrary to popular belief, OWS was not a fleeting phenomenon but rather a catalyst for a new era of social and political transformation. It ignited a resurgence in the labor movement, reshaped the Democratic Party, and revitalized a culture of protest that has placed the fight for justice at the forefront of our generation's concerns, encompassing social, economic, environmental, and racial issues.

Occupying a pivotal position between the 2008 financial crisis and the current global pandemic, Generation Occupy sheds light on the path that led us to our current political landscape. Furthermore, it explores the potential future of the OWS legacy. By reinvigorating grassroots activism and inspiring a decade of youth-led resistance movements, OWS has woven itself into the fabric of our society. From the emergence of powerful movements like Black Lives Matter, the Global Climate Strikes, and #MeToo, to the fight for indigenous rights at Standing Rock and the demand for gun control at the March for Our Lives, OWS has left an indelible mark on American culture and politics.

To celebrate the paperback release of Generation Occupy, join Counterpoint Press and author Michael Levitin at Clio's Books in Oakland. Levitin, a renowned journalist and co-founding editor of The Occupied Wall Street Journal, brings a wealth of experience and insight to his writing. With his master's degree from the esteemed Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, Levitin has covered politics, culture, and climate change for publications such as The Atlantic, The Guardian, Financial Times, Newsweek, Time, and the Los Angeles Times.

This event will take place on November 2, 2023, at Clio's, located at 353 Grand Avenue in Oakland.
