Newsmotion photo editor Alan Chin, of Facing Change Documenting America, took this shot at about 2 am, November 15, during the New York City police eviction of the Occupy protesters from Zuccotti Park. In defining Newsmotion's role as a civic media initiative that promotes true democracy and longterm solutions, we are producing stories on themes such as nonviolent resistance. This summer, we sent Belgrade-based photojournalist Matt Lutton to join Newsmotion adviser Todd Gitlin on his visit with Srdja Popovic in Serbia. Scroll over the photos to hear snippets of their discussion.
