DESCRIPTION:The Paris Commune of 1871 - The Original Government of the 99%\n\nCome hear 
 a presentation on the Paris Commune, by Anne Hansen, French postal worker 
 and union militant. With the slogan, "We are the 99%", the Occupy movement 
 asked - "What gives the top 1% the right to run everything in their 
 interest? Why should the rest of us, the 99%, have to suffer the 
 consequences of their decisions"? All over the U.S., thousands of people 
 participated in demonstrations, meetings and occupations of public space. 
 And in the process, people could begin to imagine a different world where 
 the 99% decided our own fate. In 1871, the people of Paris engaged in their 
 own version of "occupy" - the Paris Commune. But they didn't just protest. 
 They created a new form of government - from the bottom up, where the 99% 
 decided and acted in the interest of the majority. We can learn from these 
 lessons of the past to create a new future. Anne will also talk about the 
 current situation in France. \n\nSponsored by the Berkeley City College 
 Global Studies Program and Speak Out Now!\n\n
