Some highlights covered are the connections and influences of past movements on current organizing\, the creation of the Common Ground Collective--the largest anarchist/horizontal inspired organization in modern US history-- formed after Hurricane Katrina in 2005\, crow being labeled a 'domestic terrorist' by the US government for 10 years and the effects of the ‘war on terrorism’ on political dissent. The presentations goals are to engage people for building grassroots power for change.
