Some questions that will be answered: What does Occupy Wall Street want? How are they different from and similar to other progressive groups?  How do they propose to stop corporate domination of American politics?  Find out from members of Occupy Seattle about the local movement, and how to get involved.  How can a large group of people with vastly different views make a decision? What is the General Assembly decision making process like? How can we restore the voice of the people and get rid of big-money influence in American politics? Why and how are faith and spiritual communities getting involved? Why are the camps important? What lessons were learned from the camp experience?
