PRISCILLA GRIM ON OCCUPY WALLSTREET & CONRAD BLACKBURN

In the first half of today's Indypendent News Hour, co-hosts John Tarleton and Allie Tutich will speak with activist and writer Priscilla Grim about the 15th anniversary of Occupy Wall Street which began in Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan and inspired the creation of similar Occupy encampments in more than 60 cities and towns across the country.

In the second half of the show, we'll speak with Conrad Blackburn about the recent controversy over "Woke 1" and whether the left should moderate its past for defunding the police and abolishing jails and prisons. Blackburn is a public defender and a democratic socialist who ran for a State Assembly seat in Harlem earlier this year. To follow all our coverage, visit indypendent.org.
