Occupy Wall Street was the first major U.S. story to thrust me back into domestic news after many years reporting abroad in Asia and the Caribbean. It gave me a good feel for the issues facing many Americans today — foreclosures, student debt, and immigrant and labor rights, the pushback against corporate personhood and the fight for freedom of speech and use of public space. I spent many, many hours and long nights attending General Assemblies and following protesters on marches in New York and Chicago. I’ve assembled a selection of some of my more in-depth articles. Feedback appreciated!
