On today's Your Call, we’ll talk about how the Occupy movement can continue to be effective.  On Monday, several west coast Occupiers shut down their ports, while other movements attempted to halt operations at Walmart headquarters.  What do you think the targets should be? And what are the most effective methods? Are there ways the movement can be more inclusive?  Join us at 10 or email us at feedback@yourcallradio.org. What should Occupy 2012 look like? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar, and you.

Guests:

Vanessa Carlisle, member of Occupy Los Angeles

Katt Hoban, organizer with Occupy San Francisco

Justin Kramer, organizer with Occupy Salt Lake City
