Since September 2011, the Occupy Wall Street People’s Think Tank has been facilitating open dialogues in public spaces throughout New York’s financial district. Formerly based in Liberty Plaza, we are reconfiguring our schedule in order to address the decentralization of the movement.
The think tank is a space where Wall Street bankers, chronically homeless folks, union workers, lawyers, and underemployed college grads might talk about the relationship between art and politics, or the effects of stop and frisk policing on communities of color. By simply sitting down together in public, we create a space in which all people have an equal voice on the issues that matter to them. Our working group also provides a space to discuss issues within the OWS movement. ThinkTank has been the site of initial conceptions for action plans, adjustments to the GA process, pop-up occupations, and conversations between Town planning and the homeless population. We record the conversations, and with help from NYU’s Tamiment library, we plan to get them organized and back to the public as an open-source digital archive.
