When we discuss the 2011 Occupy Wall Street movement, narrative memory usually defaults to Zuccotti Park in New York City. But the reality was far broader, more coordinated, and structurally complex than mainstream coverage suggested.

Following our recent episode with Future Hindsight’s Mila Atmos on grassroots movement building, host David Beckemeyer is joined by Cameron Cowan for a live commentary and review. Cameron was on the ground during the 2011 Occupy movement in Denver—where over 1,000 occupiers established long-term encampments—and offers a first-hand perspective on what the dominant media narrative got wrong.

Together, we’ll analyze the mechanics of the movement, the institutional responses it triggered, and its enduring imprint on modern political language.

Join us live for an analytical look at the mechanics, media incentives, and systemic realities behind one of the largest movement cycles of our generation. Bring your questions for the live Q&A following the discussion.
