I'm told you're an IWW member. I am as well. How do you see the role of the IWW in the context of current political movements? What do you think the union should be doing to maximize its potential?

We know that both local and federal law enforcement agencies, including ones dedicated to fighting terrorism, were involved in spying on OWS activists and that there was a coordinated, nation-wide effort to undermine the demonstrations which included not just surveillance but infiltration and most likely the use of agents provocateurs. [1] [2] [3] [4] With this in mind, I have two questions:

1. Can we expect revelations concerning the surveillance of political groups by the NSA or related agencies?

2. As a political activist, how can I avoid constantly being watched? Is it even possible?

Thanks for the response!

I'm glad things worked out. Blue Collar was a perfect film. There was something so visceral and real about it. That last scene made me feel like I'd been hit in the gut.
