Clip of the Week: "Access for All"

Happy Monday, everyone! Hope you're all enjoying this mild weather. It's time for our latest Clip of the Week, and today we're excited to bring you another fascinating episode of “Access for All,” a biweekly public-advocacy show from independent producer Gloria Messer and progressive journalist and blogger Heather Wokusch.

The segment, which aired on MNN last month, is titled "Alternative Banking: Occupy Finance" and explores an offshoot of Occupy Wall Street dedicated to exposing and finding solutions to dysfunction in the country's financial system.

Watch the clip to hear Occupy Finance activists Cathy O’Neil, mathematician and creator of the blog MathBabe, and Tamir Rosenblum, a union-side labor lawyer and organizer, discuss what they view as the biggest problem: "too big to fail." They also talk about how anyone can get involved by picking up a book or attending a meeting - no prior financial knowledge required. In fact, O'Neil notes, members with no financial expertise bring something very valuable to the table: immediate feedback from the consumer perspective. Check it out!

“Access for All” airs every other Tuesday at 9:30pm on MNN1 and MNN.org. Follow producer/host Heather Wokusch on YouTube and friend her on Facebook, and check out Gloria Messer's Vimeo feed.
