I’VE NEVER HEARD OF PATRICK BOND BEFORE, he is involved with Occupy Durban ROOTS, but he is professor ay Kwa Zulu Natal and South African govt advisor, social activist and OCCUPY participant. Early Saturday morning Patrick gave his impressions of the conference.

Bond points to the positive victories on TAR SANDS thro’ mass opposition, and is critical of the vested interests that have prevented a legally binding agreement. Bond’s optimism uses the “wins” that are being made, Occupy, and the connectivity of the global climate/social justice network as a basis for the future.

Just one of the many individuals involved that give hope for the future.
