Sous-Veillance On Occupy Wall Street
The following was contributed by MYD member Jon Reznick: I am writing about this topic after spending roughly 15 hours at Occupy Wall Street over a few days in the past two weeks. I have attended and photographed numerous major protests and rallies in the NYC area, and my first piece of political photo-journalism was in fact the anti-war protest of February 15, ought-three, right here in NYC. This year, I have been fortunate enough to witness youth protest in Spain, and political turmoil in Haiti, in addition to the many happenings here in New York. To wit, I have 17 pictures of Reverend Billy from this year alone, and you all know every rally and protest goes on that … More >>

Village Voice Coverage of Anniversary Party
From the Village Voice blog: “Pedro Espada Gets Sushi Surprise From Manhattan Young Democrats“: “We are Democrats, but we do not believe that just because someone has a ‘D’ next to their name they deserve our unwavering support!” yelled Harris, her voice booming down the quiet Beechwood Drive where Espada resides in a picturesque two-story dwelling that stands in contrast to the brick apartment buildings dotting his 33rd District.

More Party Coverage: Napoleon Dynamite, Gift Basket & Sushi
From Larchmont-Mamarneck Patch, more coverage of the Party (the video is awesome!): Mocking Senator Pedro Espada with shirts that parodied a movie election, protesters gathered in front of the embattled majority leader’s Mamaroneck home Saturday to give him an earful. Protesters wore shirts that said “Don’t Vote for Pedro,” a play on the “Vote for Pedro” slogan for a fictional class president in the 2004 movie Napoleon Dynamite. [...] The day marked exactly one year since Espada installed himself as majority leader through a coup. While his political fortunes looked extraordinary then, twelve months removed he is facing palpable public anger. [...] Espada’s facing two lawsuits filed by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, which detail the alleged laundering of $14 million … More >>
