Host Paul Roland and Arun dig deeper into movement politics and internal conflicts
Paul and Arun continue the conversation on the politics of the climate change movement, begun two weeks ago with investigative journalist Cory Morningstar. Gupta wrote his own article criticizing the New York City People's Climate March for Counterpunch, "How the People's Climate march Became a Corporate PR Campaign (9/19/14)" His and Morningstar's (among others) critiques were in turn criticized in an article in The Nation, "What's Wrong With the Radical Critique of the people's Climate March" (September 30, by Jonathan Smucker and Michael Premo).

Both Paul and Arun feel this is a critical debate to continue to engage in. If you feel so too, call in on the KBOO Studio line at 503-231-8187 and join the conversation!

Arun Gupta was a founding editor of both The Indypendent newspaper and Occupy Wall Street Journal. He is currently residing in Portland and working on a book about the decline of the American empire.
