Forward The worldwide financial crisis that began in 2008 could seemingly be lumped into a large collection of issues of protest. Unjust wars, climate change, the education crisis, and poor public transportation are just some that come to mind. Yet, it is the financial crisis alone that seems to have spurred a worldwide movement. Though movements have always been aplenty, worldwide movements are harder to come by. Of course, this is not the first time that economic collapse spurred worldwide protest. Following the Great Depression, the protest movement was noteworthy. In the end, policy makers were forced to make significant policy changes, embodied in the New Deal enactments of the 1930’s.point to the “reserves of the unemployed” as the reason why circumstances of economic depression are so ripe for protest. After all, 14 million people with no jobs are a lot of people with nothing to lose. Furthermore, a economy is not merely an abstract injustice – it directly affects nearly everyone. However, economic injustice and widespread protest are even more intimately connected. To understand how, one needs to understand that protest – no matter the issue – is always additionally a critique of society’s information infrastructure. After all, if media were doing its job, the injustices of the moment would already be exposed. It is the lack of exposure which fuels the need for protest in the first place.
This is why we are here this is why you are needed.
