Occupy Wall Street Public Forum


Dear Tacoma colleagues,

I would like to announce an exciting public forum this Thursday at UW-Tacoma for local faculty, students and the wider Tacoma community.

Public Forum - What is the Occupy Wall Street Movement (and Where is it Going?) Thursday, November 17 William Philip Hall (University of Washington Tacoma) 7pm-9m

Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences (IAS) at UWT is proud to present this Community Engagement Forum event with representatives from local civil society organizations, including Occupy Tacoma and Jobs with Justice. The Occupy Wall Street movement is among the largest grassroots political movements of this generation. Across the country and in Tacoma, people are asking where this movement comes from and what it means for the future of our community. This event, which includes panel presentations followed by an open forum, will explore the goals of the current movement as well as its historical roots and potential political consequences.

Contact Cynthia Howson (chowson@uw.edu) for further details.

Thank you!
Cynthia
