I was asked to do a testimonial video on my personal experience with education for a corporation that sponsored a scholarship that was given to me. I would like to know how I can address some of the grievances of the 99% , without sounding too political? The scholarship was given to me based on my Latin heritage. I would like some suggestions by some active protesters.
The video is going to be placed on their website. The corporation is a big well known brand in the communications field.
Considering that the protesters want to provoke the police, never leave Zuccotti Park,and cast themselves as being "police brutalized" even though the NYPD has handled this protest with the uttermost professionalism, maybe addressing their grievances is a waste of time?
Sorry but my heart tells me different. Maybe I'm romanticizing it, but this movement has a lot of meaning to me.
