Thousands of protesters marched through the streets of Manhattan Saturday to protest U.S police brutality. The three-day action under the slogan #RiseUpOctober is centred around the victims of police violence, through a diverse, grassroots coalition of activists and concerned citizens. Supported by notable figures like scholar and academic Cornel West and actor Jesse Williams, the movement condemns a state-sanctioned system which they say endorses campaigns of “police terror” in poor communities, and especially in communities of color.

"In his groundbreaking new book Bottom Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution, Rob Kall invites and eases us into in a much-needed meta-level shift -- a truly basic paradigmatic shift from top-down to bottom-up. He capably and imaginatively explores the differences between these ways of approaching life, clearly demonstrating that bottom-up allows us to flourish. His vision and his book are enriched by telling references to interviews which he has engaged in over the years with bottom-up researchers, theorists, activists, and dreamers in a variety of areas. Think about Rob's interviews. Read this revolutionary book. And take one step further into the bottom-up universe yourself. You will not regret it."
