Occupy Founders Launch The After Party in Detroit

Originally Posted at PopularResistance.org



Some of the founding members of the occupy movement are launching a new political party – THE AFTER Party.

Carl Gibson is among them.

He says, “What sets The After Party apart is that 365 days out of the year it is a humanitarian organization. The way we organize politically, what sets us apart is that we are finding needs within the community, and then working to meet them using the community's assets.”

And, so is Radio Rahim, another After Party founding member and, yes the real life persona behind the character in Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing says the following:

“There is a little bit of Radio Rahim in everybody (…) we all love our music and we have outrage about different things.”

How will After Party be different than other 3rd party alternatives?

Why start a political party at all?

And should Mookie have thrown that garbage can through the window of Sal’s Pizzeria?

All of those questions asked and answered this week on Acronym TV. What do you stand for?

Josh Fox: Occupy Sandy

via acronymTV



For the past month we have come together to support and rebuild communities broken by Hurricane Sandy. As Sharon Lerner wrote in the American Prospect, “the storm handed inequality activists an almost eerily perfect illustration of exactly what they see as wrong with our world.”
In this vein, over Thanksgiving Occupy Sandy joined with communities to share over 10,000 meals. Now we begin to come together to connect the dots from the storm, to climate change, to the reckless greed of the 1%-ers at the forefront of the fossil fuel industry. 
The work is far from over, so join us. You can check out the Occupy Sandy Relief NYC Facebook page to get started, or follow @OccupySandy on Twitter.

ACRONYM: Who won the 3rd Debate?

Well the debate season is over and the consensus is clear, Romney won the first debate, Obama won the second debate, and in the final scripted pageant, the topic of which was foreign policy- the clear, undisputed, hands down winner was the Bush Doctrine.

Among the other topics not ever discussed in any of the debates this season: Corporate money in our elections, NDAA, Bailouts, Wall Street immunity to prosecution. Instead, what we saw last night in the foreign policy debate between Romney and Obama were two men shadow boxing in shades of grey who both agree with the Bush doctrine.
