Description: This collection of essays by women of color analyzes, critiques, and proposes change for their role within the international Occupy movement and Indigenous People's Day. The authors address topics such as the patriarchy and racism disguised by the anarchist and progressive nature of the movement, many activists' neglect of their own white privilege, offspring movements created specifically for and by people of color, decolonization, the language barriers that prevent people of color from participating, the competition among oppressed groups known as the "Occupy Olympics," and the Seattle workers' triumph at the D12 port blockade. The zine contains photographs of the Occupy Movement, and the cover is printed in color.
