Note: Act Out! is a new video series we will be highlighting on Popular Resistance. It has been created by musician, activist and author Eleanor Goldfield and appears on the Occupy.com YouTube channel.
In this first installment of Act Out!, Eleanor Goldfield takes on a sprawling corporate trade deal and celebrates the national movement that’s mobilizing to protect the Internet from corporate interests. Breaking down the Trans-Pacific Partnership, she highlights the work being done by activists around the country – and shows ways that you can get involved, whether through a phone call, a meme or a late night adventure.
In recognition of the recent historic victory of people power vs. corporate power in the FCC decision, Eleanor showcases some of the diverse and creative ways that groups worked to raise awareness and defend Net Neutrality, including dance parties, hand puppets, projections – and showing the award-winning documentary Killswitch.
From tweets to marching in the streets, this is Act Out! Episode 1.
