We just couldn’t choose from among the array of clips our friends at “Democracy Now!” sent along from Friday’s special broadcast about the OWS Day of Action activities around the country Thursday. So, we figured we’d just post the whole thing.

This way, you’ll see the segments on the OWS movement at its official two-month mark, plus a word from hip-hop impresario Russell Simmons — a 1 percenter who’s lending his voice to the 99 percent — and you won’t miss the bit about the SEIU demonstration on the Brooklyn Bridge, which led to the arrest of the union’s president and other leaders as they rallied for job creation. And that’s not all. Settle in for a big dose of quality programming. –KA

‘Democracy Now!’:

Truthdig writers bravely dig beneath the headlines to give you thought-provoking, investigative reporting and analysis that tells you what’s really happening and who’s rolling up their sleeves to do something about it.

Like you, we believe a well-informed public that doesn’t have blind faith in the status quo can help change the world. Your contribution of as little as $5 monthly or $35 annually will make you a groundbreaking member and lays the foundation of our work.
