In honor of the ten-year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, a group of folks from New York’s OWS are launching an oral history project centered around self-reflection and learning. This is a collaborative space, aiming to reflect our shared experience by telling our individual stories.
We invite you to share your experience. We ask participants to take a critical look at their own actions to determine how their thinking has changed over time, what we could have done better, and importantly, what worked.
If you’d like to contribute, go to www.occupystories.org. Send us one or more photos and an audio file (there are sample interview questions on the site). We’ll use an A.I. program to transcribe the interviews and then pass back for you to identify highlights, after which we’ll upload it to the archive.
Our hope is that by learning from the past, we will be able to uplift, inspire and encourage the work of future generations.
