Background
Time Out Chicago featured Haymarket in November 2011 during the height of the Occupy movement. The magazine said, "what makes Haymarket the most exciting and relevant press right now: the sheer immediacy of its work. In the midst of a housing crisis, it published Joe Allen's People Wasn't Made to Burn. A couple of weeks before the global population ticked up to seven billion, it published Too Many People? And, says, [Julie] Fain, the press is coming out with a short run of pamphlets, introducing some of its books and the ideas in those books to the protesters camped out across the country."
