Chris Faraone began his writing career by free-lancing
Hip Hop reviews for such publications as Yellow Rat Bastard, The Source,
the Weekly Dig and the Boston Herald before
becoming a staff reporter for the Boston Phoenix, where his coverage of
the Occupy movement on both coasts resulted in his debut book---99 Nights
With The 99%. Katie Gradowski is an organizer with
Occupy Boston, where she focuses on outreach and anti-foreclosure work as well
as the Occupy The T campaign. Her “real job” is in Somerville, where she
helps run a kid’s community science workshop and “spends time making things,
tinkering, and taking stuff apart”. Betsy Boggia has helped
establish Occupy Natick. She also has long experience with
grassroots organizations, political campaigns, local non-profits
(most recently with Girl’s LEAP Self-Defense), has been a
legislative aide for State Senator Cheryl Jacques, and a co-founder of the
Greater Boston Chapter of the Million Mom March for sensible gun
control.
Free and open to the public. Non-members are welcome. There
will be a brief business meeting before the panel discussion during which Boston
DSA members will elect a new Executive Board.
Sponsored by the Boston local of Democratic Socialists of America; cosponsored by Free School University working group (Occupy Boston)
