Lessons from a Life of Power Research: An Interview with Mike Locker - Little Sis A deep-dive interview with the longtime power structure researcher Mike Locker.

This in depth interview with Mike Locker goes into his reflections on the lessons and legacies of power research since the 1960s: littlesis.org/news/lessons...

Michael Locker is one of the early practitioners of power research through the civil rights movement, antiwar, anti-imperialist, and student organizing campaigns.

Power research is one of the many tools we have for challenging power structures today.

We use power research to map who holds power in society, how those entities are connected and how they use their positions and resources to shape major decisions and policies.

A powermap showing bubbles containing corporation and company logos as well as pictures of billionaires which are connected to lines and arrows that show the corporate connections between each of these entities. The arrows lead inward towards a bubble in the center that reads Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Want to learn how to create network maps like this?

Wall Street’s Oil Deals Have Climate Activists Resorting to New Tactics In the summer of 2024, Alec Connon was a regular occupant of the small plaza in front of Citigroup Inc.’s Manhattan headquarters.

2 years after we organized the largest-ever protests against Wall Street’s financing of fossil fuels, big banks’ financing of coal, oil, and gas is rising.

What does this mean? As our director laid out in @bloomberg.com, it means protests alone aren’t enough.
