People realize that the institutions don’t work because they are experiencing the consequences. This week was the one year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy and the recovery effort, Occupy Sandy.To mark the occasion, people rom those areas brought a human “wave of change” to city hall in New York and held a march they called “Turn the Tide.” Protesters are demanding that five priorities be met: good jobs, affordable housing, sustainable energy, community engagement and strong healthcare.
Sandy demonstrates the dysfunction of government to address both the people’s needs and climate change.
