Abstract Edward Swift was born in Massachusetts on June 1, 1960, but currently resides in coastal Oregon. Following the tragic passing of his wife Renee, Edward traveled to Massachusetts to spend time with his sister. On his way back to Oregon, he stopped in New York City to learn about Occupy Wall Street. He became involved in the movement, and continuing his trip westward, he visited Occupy encampments in Saint Louis, Chicago, and Denver. Edward has been involved in Occupy Salt Lake City from its early moments and considers the Salt Lake protest and encampment to be a model for the overall movement due to the cooperation among protesters as well as the cooperation between protesters and the larger Salt Lake community. More than anything else, Edward praises the spirit of the movement and the ideals of togetherness and unity. Project: Occupy Salt Lake City. Interviewer: Erin Halcomb
