On Wednesday December 7th, for one night only, we hosted Ron Suskind, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and best-selling author, in conversation with former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill and Jesse LaGreca, Occupy Wall Street activist and blogger at The Daily Kos. They discussed the fall and bailout of Wall Street, the perils of speaking truth to power, and the tough choices ahead for America. The conversation was recorded on FORA.tv, and can be watched here.

Culture Project’s 2011 Producers’ Weekend

Janera Soerel — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 21:23:03 +0000

It's been a while since I last wrote, and I hope you're well and thriving in these fascinating times. Occupy Wall Street, the currency crisis in Europe, the deep polarization of American politics, and the aftermath of the Arab Spring, are only a few signs of the historical shifts in which we're living. Culture Project, an organization I highly respect and proudly support, casts an artistic spotlight on social injustice and is at the forefront of crucial conversations.
