“The 99%”
Remarkable photographs of Occupy Wall Street participants by Matthew Septimus, from his longer set, “Greetings from Zuccotti Park.” Music by Gamelan Son of Lion, compositions by Laura Liben. Two years after Occupy’s encampments were broken up across the country, the impact of the Occupiers’ direct-action politics continues to embolden American activists. Jewish Currents thanks Matthew Septimus for making these photographs available for our use.
I’m Arielle Angel, editor-at-large of Jewish Currents. Before you go, there’s something I need to ask.
We’ve seen over and over how the mainstream media falters in telling stories on our beats—whether it’s antisemitism, Israel/Palestine in American politics, Jewish identity, or the American left. At Jewish Currents we’re committed to uncompromising analysis and longform reporting on these issues and more—stories you won’t find anywhere else. In a media landscape that obscures injustice and flattens discussion, we’re changing the conversation. But we need you.
If you believe in this work, please consider making a donation—or even better, a recurring one—to ensure that we are able to keep publishing stories like this one. We can’t do it without you.
