Scores of artists, writers and performers (including a bright pink capitalist pig) have been creating work that highlights the gross inequities and unsustainability of the capitalist model, as well as underscoring the urgent need to construct a more viable economic system that does not poison our planet and disenfranchise billions.
Many more CIO actions are planned throughout the summer at various points across the globe. For more information, check out the CIO website: capitalismisover.com
