Napoleon’s army was finally defeated in this Battle of Vertieres, securing Haiti's independence.

We seek to build a party and government controlled by citizens, not corporate elites-with policies that serve the broad public interest, not just private interests. As a grassroots organization operating inside the Democratic Party, and outside in movements for peace and justice, PDA has played a key role in the rise of the progressive movement. Our inside/outside strategy is guided by the belief that a lasting majority will require a revitalized Democratic Party built on firm progressive principles. For many decades, the Democratic Party declined as its leadership listened more to the voices of corporations and the donor class than those of average Americans. PDA strives to rebuild the Democratic Party from the bottom up " from every congressional district to statewide party structures to the corridors of power in Washington, where we cooperate with the Congressional Progressive Caucus. In its short history, PDA has succeeded in shaking up the political status-quo with its stated opposition to the Iraq war and to excessive military budgets; advocacy for universal single-payer healthcare, racial and economic justice; fighting environmental racism and the climate emergency; support for voter rights and the Equal Rights Amendment; and, notably, being the first national organization to ask Bernie Sanders to run for President as a Democrat, launching the Run Bernie Run campaign in early 2014.

Our inside/outside strategy is guided by the belief that a lasting majority will require a revitalized Democratic Party built on firm progressive principles. For many decades, the Democratic Party declined as its leadership listened more to the voices of corporations and the donor class than those of average Americans. PDA strives to rebuild the Democratic Party from the bottom up " from every congressional district to statewide party structures to the corridors of power in Washington, where we cooperate with the Congressional Progressive Caucus. In its short history, PDA has succeeded in shaking up the political status-quo with its stated opposition to the Iraq war and to excessive military budgets; advocacy for universal single-payer healthcare, racial and economic justice; fighting environmental racism and the climate emergency; support for voter rights and the Equal Rights Amendment; and, notably, being the first national organization to ask Bernie Sanders to run for President as a Democrat, launching the Run Bernie Run campaign in early 2014.

This year will mark 76 years since the 1948 forced removal of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to establish the state of Israel. Even according to UN reports prior to the Nakba Palestine was a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic society. In December of 1948 the UN General Assembly passed resolution 194 which called for the Palestinian right to return, for property restitution and compensation, this has not happened 76 years later. Indeed it was an act of the UN that caused the partition that displaced Palestinians from their land in the first place. According to the UNRW the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees mor than 5 million Palestinian refugees are throughout the Middle East. We are now 7 months into the genocide where more than 35,000 Palestinians have been killed including 14,000 children. 8 thousand are reported missing. This followed the attack on Israel by Hamas on Oct 7th where 1,200 Israeli’s were killed. Palestinian fighters have resisted the occupation of Palestine going back to the 1930’s, even before the Nakba, when the operation to remove Palestinians from their land had begun. Meanwhile according to the Washington Post, Israel receives more military and aid of any type than any other country in the world since WWII. The Post reports that since between 1946 and 2023 the US has provided 287 billion.

The US anti-war movement is struggling to impact the US Congress and President Biden to actively call for and work for a ceasefire, as well as to stop funding Israel’s military operation. The US historically provides over $3 billion in aid each year to Israel, the largest to any other country. Additionally, the Biden administration bypassed Congress through an emergency provision in the Arms Export Control Act to sell Israel $106 million worth of tank ammunition. Biden’s unilateral support for Israeli policies in Gaza has earned him the moniker “Genocide Joe”. Our guest is Kevin Martin, President of Peace Action and Peace Action Education Fund. And there is news on the Child Tax Credit. After millions of families were disappointed when Congress allowed the popular expanded CTC to expire after one year, there is new hope for a bi-partisan deal to bring back some elements of the expanded CTC. But who will be left out of the credit? The Expanded CTC lifted at least 4 million children out of poverty and cut child hunger by ¼. In contrast the new bipartisan proposal under pressure from the GOP would roll back some of the earlier gains of the Expanded CTC. The new proposal would lift 400,000 children out of poverty leaving behind millions of the most impoverished. Congresswoman DeLauro who has championed the CTC for over two decades said that the bi-partisan CTC proposal “will keep millions of children in preventable poverty.” Most NGO advocates on Capitol Hill including the Children’s Defense Fund, Economic Security Project and others are supporting the bi-partisan compromise though they admit it doesn’t go far enough out of fear of no action in this Congress on the CTC and with the hope that it can be improved on in 2025. We will hear remarks by Congresswoman Gwen Moore a champion in Congress against poverty, as she spoke during the House Ways and Means Committee Hearing this past Friday on the proposed compromise. And our guest is Phoebe Jones Schellenberg who has been actively supporting bringing back the expanded CTC. Phoebe is with Care Income Now and is a co-coordinator of the Global Women’s Strike in the US.

As part of President Bidens infrastructure plan, federal and state governments are providing billions in so-called climate subsidies, policy incentives and tax breaks to dangerous and dirty energy industries. These include: biomass and waste incinerators; nuclear power, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure for fossil-fuel facilities; frontline and environmental justice communities are facing increased pollution burdens and toxic threats. Todays panel discussion highlights emergent threats of climate false solutions across U.S. federal and state policy landscapes. Panelists are community campaigners, community leaders, researchers, and frontline organizations who are fighting the myths associated with carbon capture and storage, nuclear, hydrogen, biofuels and waste incineration. Along with debunking what they see as false climate crisis solutions, they also highlight inspiring stories of success led by environmental justice communities.

The Shawnee National Forest is located in Southern Illinois. The Shawnee National Forest encompasses a 289,000 acre area in southern Illinois stretching from the Mississippi River to the Ohio River which contains some of the most ecologically bio-diverse areas in the United States. Three decades ago, in the summer of 1990, activists from Earth First! occupied the Fairview Timber sale site in the Shawnee Forest which is located in Southern Illinois for 79 days — using their bodies to block the logging equipment and using legal strategies to challenge the harvesting of the lumber in court. This historic action has come to be known as the Shawnee Showdown. This relatively small group of activists were successful in stopping commercial logging in the Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois for 17 years. But in 2013, the Forest Service won a motion to lift the injunction. But logging is back in Shawnee. Currently, thousands of acres at the Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois are scheduled for logging operations. Shawnee is managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which allows logging on public lands. The fight to save the Shawnee Forest continues today, with the most recent attempt by organizers to transfer the Shawnee National Forest out of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s control and into the hands of the U.S. Department of the Interior, with a proposal that would establish Shawnee as a National Park and designate it as the nation’s first climate preserve. The biggest gain from converting the forest into a national park and climate preserve is the elimination of commercial logging efforts and resource extraction.

It was just last week on ST that I played a clip of Randall Robinson during a show focused on Haiti. Randall Robinson was the founder of TransAfrica, he led the organization from its founding in 1977 until 2001. During his tenure there he led protests opposing the SA apartheid regime, thousands were arrested during these protests including notables such as Stevie Wonder. And when President Aristide was deposed in the 1991 US coup vs his Presidency of Haiti, Randall went on a hunger strike in protest and to demand Aristide’s return and for asylum for refugees fleeing Haiti following the coup. He also strongly opposed yet another US backed coup vs Aristide which took place this time in 2004 on the anniversary of the Haitian Revolution. Randall, alongside Maxine Waters and others in tandem with a massive grassroots movement on the ground in Haiti, worked tirelessly for Aristide’s return to Haiti. He was the author of several books including “The Debt: What America Owed to Blacks”. Today we will share the words of Randall Robinson taken from speeches he gave on Haiti including from events at Marcus Books, a Black owned bookstore in Oakland California. These speeches are not generally known, and we want to thank Marcus Books for allowing us to share this sound with you.

Some of the potential implications of climate change include rising sea levels, increased frequency and severity of natural disasters, food and water scarcity, loss of biodiversity, and health risks for humans and wildlife. Rising sea levels can cause coastal flooding, which can damage infrastructure, homes, and businesses. Natural disasters such as hurricanes, typhoons, floods, and droughts can have devastating effects on communities, leading to loss of life, property damage, and displacement of people. Food and water scarcity can cause conflict and instability, particularly in regions where resources are already scarce. Loss of biodiversity can disrupt ecosystems and reduce the ability of the natural world to provide the services that humans rely on, such as clean air and water, and fertile soils. In addition to these impacts, climate change can also have significant economic consequences, affecting industries such as agriculture, tourism, and insurance, and potentially leading to job losses and reduced economic growth. It is important that individuals, governments, and businesses take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit the impacts of climate change. This includes transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, investing in green technologies, and adopting sustainable practices in agriculture, forestry, and other industries.

The SNCC, or Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, was founded in 1960 in the wake of student-led sit-ins at segregated lunch counters across the South and became the major channel of student participation in the civil rights movement. SNCC played a large part in the Freedom Rides aimed at desegregating buses and in the marches organized by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the SCLC. SNCC also created Freedom Schools and played a key role in registering black voters throughout the south. SNCC played a leading role in the history and fabric of the US influencing movements around the world and the women of SNCC played a central role.

Women and girls spend about 12.5 billion hours every day on unpaid care and domestic work. If we were to monetize this for women aged 15 and older, it adds up to $10.8 trillion a year—three times the size of the world’s tech industry. Unpaid work is essential for households and economies to function globally, yet it continues to be valued less than paid work. In 2023, women in the labor force continue to earn less than their male colleagues across the board. Our panelists are Laura Carlsen, Director of the Americas Program and regular contributor to Americas Updater, Foreign Policy in Focus, CounterPunch and several Spanish-language publications, and, Jackie Goldberg, governing school board member for the Los Angeles Unified School District joining host Margaret Prescod for the hour to weigh in on these issues and lift up women in herstory that have inspired their work including: Ida B Wells, Sojourner Truth, Emma Goldman and Marge Percy.

According to the family attorneys Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci, an independent autopsy was done by a forensic pathologist, which determined that Nichols died of “excessive bleeding caused by a severe beating.” Police claim to have stopped Nichols for a traffic violation and that he became aggressive and tried to reach for one of the officers' guns, however video footage showed that police lied in their report. Videos of the beating that involved five black officers who at one point laid on top of Nichols all at once, was released Friday January 27th, leading to widespread national protests and putting a national spotlight on Memphis,TN police and the wider conversation around systemic failures and racism in policing. A 6th police officer, Preston Hemphill, who is white, has been let go from the police force as the investigation on the killing of Tyree Nichols continues. Hemphill’s attorney confirmed he was the 3rd officer at the initial stop and the body cam footage was from his body cam. Hemphill’s body camera captures part of the initial confrontation with Nichols. In the video, Hemphill can be seen using a Taser on him. Later, a voice on the body cam that seems to be Hemphill’s says, “I hope they stomp his a--” after Nichols escaped. The sheriff in Shelby County, Tenn., which includes Memphis, said two of his deputies were relieved of duty amid an internal investigation, citing “concerns” after they “appeared on the scene following the physical confrontation between police and Tyre Nichols.” The Memphis Fire Department has also said it pulled two personnel from duty in response to the case and launched an internal investigation. Days before Tyre Nichols passed three men were killed by the Los Angeles Police Department within 48 hours. Our guests joining us for the hour to unpack the aftermath of the death of Tyre Nichols as well as the recent killing of three men by Los Angeles Police include: Ash-Lee Henderson, the first Black woman to serve as the co-executive director of the Highlander Research and Education Center. Ash-Lee is an active participant in the Movement for Black Lives. Dr. Gerald Horne, Moores Professor of History and African-American Studies at the University of Houston, and organizer Mic Crenshaw. Mic Crenshaw is an independent hip hop artist, respected emcee, poet, educator and activist and the lead U.S. Organizer for the Afrikan Hip-Hop Caravan who uses Cultural Activism as a means to develop international solidarity related to Human Rights and Justice through Hip Hop and Popular Education.

Only one month into 2023 and the nation is experiencing an uptick in state and gun violence. We begin with the recent police killing and brutality of a young black man in Memphis Tennessee, and as well as three back to back killings by police of black men in California. We are also facing a series of mass shootings happening in America in the month of January 2023. We then turn our conversation to international affairs: the continued war between Ukraine and Russia. Russia launches over 50 missiles in response to Germany and the U.S. decision to send war tanks to Ukraine to continue militarized action vs Russia in what many experts refer to as the newest US ‘"proxy war."

The Shawnee National Forest is located in Southern Illinois. The Shawnee National Forest encompasses a 289,000 acre area in southern Illinois stretching from the Mississippi River to the Ohio River which contains some of the most ecologically bio-diverse areas in the United States. Three decades ago, in the summer of 1990, activists from Earth First! occupied the Fairview Timber sale site in the Shawnee Forest which is located in Southern Illinois for 79 days — using their bodies to block the logging equipment and using legal strategies to challenge the harvesting of the lumber in court. This historic action has come to be known as the Shawnee Showdown. This relatively small group of activists were successful in stopping commercial logging in the Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois for 17 years. But in 2013, the Forest Service won a motion to lift the injunction. But logging is back in Shawnee. Currently, thousands of acres at the Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois are scheduled for logging operations. Shawnee is managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which allows logging on public lands. The fight to save the Shawnee Forest continues today, with the most recent attempt by organizers to transfer the Shawnee National Forest out of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s control and into the hands of the U.S. Department of the Interior, with a proposal that would establish Shawnee as a National Park and designate it as the nation’s first climate preserve. The biggest gain from converting the forest into a national park and climate preserve is the elimination of commercial logging efforts and resource extraction.

The bald eagle is the national bird of the United States of America and appears on its seal. This majestic species of birds generally represent strength, pride, and courage.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s radicalism. Dr. Martin Luther King became increasingly vocal about his views against the war the U.S. was waging at the time– the war in Vietnam. He delivered a speech entitled, “Beyond Vietnam: Time to Break the Silence,” exactly one year before his assassination. Dr. Martin Luther King declared: “A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” He went on to name the U.S. government as the greatest purveyor of violence in the world and preached that nonviolent direct action is our greatest hope and the best tool to bring about change. Over 54 years later, in this powerful speech, Dr. King provides both a diagnosis and a cure that remains fully relevant today. As the U.S. finds itself encroached in yet another war enabling the continued war between Russia and Ukraine. Today, in partnership with the CA High Desert residents and the CA Poor People's Campaign, Sojourner Truth brings you audio from this public reading of “ Beyond Vietnam.” This event was part of 54 public readings— for each year since Dr. King’s assassination— taking place across the state of California. The CA Poor Peoples’ Campaign has picked up Dr. King’s unfinished work, weaving the interlocking injustices—systemic racism, systemic poverty, environmental devastation, militarism and the war economy and a distorted moral narrative of Christian nationalism—into one “moral fusion” campaign.

And what does Rep. Kevin McCarthy's eventual election as house speaker mean for the greater picture in Congress?

The International Body Observes that Racial Bias has tainted the judicial process up to now citing new evidence of innocence and misconduct by Judges and Prosecutors. Mumia Abu-Jamal’s lawyers say evidence in boxes discovered in the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office by the new DA at the time, Larry Krasner in 2019 that show his trial was tainted by judicial bias and police and prosecutorial misconduct, including: withholding of evidence, and bribing or coercing witnesses to lie. As of the airing of this show, the plea for a new trial in the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal went before Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Lucretia Clemons on Friday December 16th. Judge Clemons asked the commonwealth if they could confirm that there is no new evidence in the 32 boxes that relate to Brady and Bateson claims. The commonwealth did not confirm. So now Mumia’s lawyers will be making arrangements to see those boxes and Judge Clemens said she would issue her ruling in 60-90 days.

Researchers at the State University of NY College of Enviornmental Science and Forestry are developing genetically engineered (GE)American Chestnut trees that are blight resistant, and hope to win government approval for its unregulated release in the environment. GE trees are being lauded as the biotech solution for forest conservation, however the reality is that should GE trees be approved they would be mass produced and used for commercial production of timber, pulp and bio-fuels, instead of forest conservation. The GE American Chestnut could be the first GE forest tree species planted specifically to spread freely through forests, and the dangers of this could be catastrophic to existing forest ecosystems. Not only does the US regulatory system have no specific regulations to deal with the release of GE trees into forests, but the highly experimental introduction of GE trees could create new problems and worsen existing pressures on forest ecosystems, already strained from unsustainable logging practices, invasive species, introduced pests and pathogens and the surmounting impacts of climate change. Anne Petermann has played a key role in the global effort to stop the release of genetically engineered trees into the environment in the last 22 years. In 2008 she led a campaign demanding a global ban on GE trees that won an historic decision on GE trees from the UN Convention on Biological Diversity warning countries of the dangers of GE trees and urging them to use a precautionary approach.

This victory is a direct result of mounting pressure from global civil society organizations present in Sharm el-Sheikh and in cities and capitals around the world, combined with strong leadership, 30 years in the making. A breakthrough deal is the establishment of a loss and damages fund to help poorest countries most impacted by climate change. Rich countries are agreeing to contribute to this fund but what will this actually look like? It will likely still be several years before the fund exists. Major lingering questions include: who would oversee the fund, how the money would be dispersed – and to whom. Many countries said they felt pressured to give up on tougher commitments for limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius in order for the landmark deal on the loss and damage fund to go through. And the richest countries largely contributing to fossil fuel pollution, made no real commitments to curb their use, in fact the loss and damage funds deal also included a reference to "low-emissions energy," raising concern among some that it opened the door to the growing use of natural gas - a fossil fuel that leads to both carbon dioxide and methane emissions.

WNBA basketball superstar Britney Griner has been sentenced to a 9.5 year sentence in Russia for allegedly carrying cannabis cartridges in her luggage. Britney Griner is a recent example of a Black American being criminalized for a nonviolent crime, and while her case gained international awareness due to her celebrity as a pro star athlete, this is the reality for many Black Americans and immigrants criminalized for marijuana offenses impacting their daily experience, we contextualize the history of criminalization of cannabis in the U.S. and its continued iterations with executive director of the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild and attorney Sirine Shebaya. To conclude, we discuss French President Emmanuel Macron and U.S. Presidential envoy for climate John Kerry and their friendly treatment of Venezuelan President Maduro at the Cop 27 conference with José Luis Granados Ceja, journalist and political analyst and staff writer with Venezuela Analysis, who shares his take on why the West and its allies appear to be changing their narrative and treatment towards Venezuela, a country recognized for its extensive oil reserves.

Dr. Gerald Horne, international journalist Laura Carlsen and school board member Jackie Goldberg join host Margaret Prescod to discuss the latest developments internationally. Beginning with the US Senate that has passed a short-term government funding bill that provides an additional $12.3 billion in aid to Ukraine. The Biden administration promises to maintain financial support for Kyiv to battle the Russian invasion. This while Russia has annexed four Ukraine territories in a controversial by force vote that is being condemned as a sham and a violation of international law by Ukraine, the United Nations, and the U.S. and its allies. What does this mean for the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and its continued impact felt across the globe? This Sunday's election in Brazil will be one of the most-watched in Latin America, as two polar ideological opposites fight for the presidency in the world's fourth-largest democracy. Current President Jair Bolsonaro, who's been escalating destruction of the Amazon, and casting doubts on the country's electoral system in the run-up to election day, and one of Latin America's well recognized leftists, former Brazilian President, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva who is leading with more than 10 points ahead of Bolsonaro in many of the polls, despite two corruption scandals during his tenure that landed him in jail. Hurricane Ian continues to devastate Florida, Cuba, parts of Canada and now it makes its way to South Carolina, panelists contextualize the correlation between global warming and this historical climate change catastrophe.

It is a time when heads of state or their representatives address the world. The occasion is used to promote, chastise, make proposals on vital issues facing their respective nation and the world. Quite often there is a disparity in focus and priorities when one contrasts the speeches from governments of the Global North to most of those from governments of the Global South. The Global North speeches tend to justify their form of government and their economic and social policies, while the Global South speeches often tend to point to the disparity in wealth and resources and the fact that it is the Global North that causes more of man-made climate change, the environmental crisis, and it is countries of the Global South that bears the brunt of climate. RE the term Global South, on the movement front, Fridays for Future, the movement founded by environmental justice campaigner and Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg, is popularizing the term MAPA which stands for: Most Affected People and Areas, they define MAPA as those communities that suffer the most from the effects of Climate Change. For todays show, we have selected two speeches from heads of state given at the 2022 UNGA to share with you. One is the speech given by Barbados PM Mia Mottley who gave a pragmatic speech calling out the Bretton Woods Institution, for changing the makeup of the UN security council and the veto power on the council, challenging the IMF and those who prioritize war over ending poverty, to highlighting the plight of Haiti. It is clearly the voice of a head of state of a small island emerging economy. Her comments range from ending the embargo on Cuba to ending poverty, to the reality of the impact of climate change to the challenges of small islands having still to rely on natural gas, to ending poverty and the imperialistic order. The other speech is from the newly elected President of Columbia Gustavo Petro who makes a strong case for ending the war on drugs which he says has killed a million Latin Americans and is poisoning the forests in his country by spraying pesticides aimed at killing the cocoa plant but does much more damage. He describes a war on the cocoa plant which was sacred to the Aztecs and the imprisonment of those who have few options to make a living other than growing the plant. He poses the question what is more dangerous he cocoa plant or oil and war and addition to greed? He said world powers are becoming irrational. It is important to move beyond our usual bubble and listen to other voices and points of views, so stay tuned as there is much to learn from these leaders of from countries of the Global South.

We should expect the number of eviction filings to increase, given that Data from the US Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey released in 2021 found approximately 4.2 million adults report being at risk of eviction or foreclosure in July and August. The data indicated that those facing eviction are significantly more likely to be Black, Indigenous, Latinx, or other people of color.

Queen Elizabeth was crowned in 1952 when more than a quarter of the world’s population were under British rule–according to NPR that was more than 700 million people. The old saying went: the sun never set on the British Empire, which included countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, the Pacific and the Caribbean. And British imperial power was known for slavery, massacres and other violence and theft. The resulting suffering was felt around the world, even as the royal family accumulated great wealth, much of that wealth is secret. Even the crown jewels of the late queen were stolen from India and South Africa. Today we focus on the colonial impact and legacy of Britain, and demands for reparations and other forms of reparatory justice. Our guests are: Coumba Toure, Coordinator for Africans Rising for peace justice and dignity based in Dakar, David Comissiong David Comissiong, attorney, writer and political activist and Ambassador to the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and active in the Caribbean Pan African Network; and Sungu Oyoo a writer and organizer at Kongamano La Mapinduzi, a political movement in Kenya. Oyoo is also part of MWAMKO, a vanguard of a way of thinking that aspires to another order of being and doing within the African continent and her dispersed diaspora.

She was 89 years old. Nichelle Nichols first appeared on Star Trek on Sept 8, 1966 as Lt. Nyota Uhura. She was one of the first Black women to have a leading role on TV according to the NYT. Star Trek was on TV from 1966 to 1969, but the show remains popular and iconic and Nichelles Uhura remains beloved by fans all over the world. Nichelle appeared in 66 episodes of Star Trek. According to the NYT, In 1977 she became an ambassador of sorts for NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), she later spoke of her pride in recruiting the first Black and woman astronaut hopefuls. Her efforts resulted in over 2,600 women and people of color applicants. In 2012 she was a keynote speaker at the Goddard Space Center.

Commentary on race and politics have appeared in the Huffington Post Live, on NPR and TV One. Without the labor of farm workers the food supply chain in CA the nation and countries the US is trading with would be interrupted. Immigrant farm workers make up an estimated 73% of agriculture workers in the United States today. Farm labor is absolutely essential work that puts food on our tables across the country, powers the economy and supports our communities, from dairy farms in Wisconsin to strawberry fields in Florida and apple orchards in Washington. Begun in 1962 by Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, Gilbert Padilla, and other early organizers, the United Farm Workers of America is the nations first enduring and largest farm workers union. The UFW continues organizing in major agricultural sectors, chiefly in California. Through a series of marches, national consumer boycotts, and fasts, the United Farm Workers union attracted national headlines, gained labor contracts with higher wages and improved working conditions, galvanizing the Chicano movement. The struggle of farm workers for their rights, and better wages and living conditions continues today. And now, the United Farm Workers(UFW) union is set to embark on a 24-day, 335-mile march from Delano to Sacramento to urge Gov. Gavin Newsom to sign the CA Agricultural Labor Relations Voting Choice Act (AB 2183) introduced by Assembly member Mark Stone, a Democrat from Santa Cruz, CA. that would permit farmworkers to vote from home giving farm workers protection from intimidation in elections to choose a union. Farmworkers and their supporters are set to arrive at the state Capitol on Aug. 26, a few days before the legislative session draws to a close. The trek kicked off this Wednesday August 3rd at the farm workers historic Forty Acres complex in Delano, where the union began 60 years ago in September 1962. It ends at the state Capitol on August 26th. The march route traces the path of the historic Cesar Chavez-led 1966 peregrinacion or march, procession style, that first brought the farm workers grievances" which included: exposure to deadly chemicals, inadequate food and shelter, and sexual harassment, while receiving meager wages" before the nations conscience.

George Jackson was born in Chicago Illinois. He was one of five children. He was arrested in Northern California 1961 when he was 19 years old for allegedly attempting to rob a gas station at gun point for $600. He was sentenced to 1 year to life in prison and he spent the next 11 years in prison, most of those years were in solitary confinement. While in prison George became a revolutionary, an organizer and an author. He along with fellow prisoner W.L. Nolan founded the Third World Coalition and founded the San Quentin Prison chapter of the Black Panther Party. He was becoming well-known in radical circles in the US and internationally. He was dubbed a trouble-maker for his revolutionary views and activities by prison authorities. In 1970 W.L. Nolan was killed by a prison guard, this after Nolan had planned to file a lawsuit against the superintendent in the prison where he was held. George Jackson and two other prisoners, Fletta Drumgo and John Clutchette were later accused of killing a prison guard in retaliation for Nolan’s murder. They became known as the Soledad Brothers and were cause-celebrities of the Black and other radical movements. They gained the support of Angela Davis who visited George Jackson while he was in prison. A month after his brother Jonathan Jackson and two other prisoners were killed attempting to free prisoners, George Jackson was killed in 1971 by prison guards. In response to George’s murder the New York State based Attica Prison uprising took place just weeks after George’s murder. 1,500 prisoners released a manifesto with their demands and controlled the prison for four days. The then governor of NY ordered that the prison be stormed by law enforcement and 29 prisoners were killed, none of the prisoners were armed with guns. Today George Jackson is remembered as a revolutionary who fought for his freedom and the freedom of others. His two books include Blood in My Eye and Soledad Brother: The Prison Letters of George Jackson. To this day, we are told that any prisoner in California found with even the name George Jackson anywhere on his person or in his cell is disciplined. We will hear reflections on George Jackson from Dr. Angela Davis, James Baldwin, Sundiata Tate, Walida Imarisha and Rachel Herzing featured in the Freedom Archives 99 Books digital series.

A month after his brother Jonathan Jackson and two other prisoners were killed attempting to free prisoners, George Jackson was killed in 1971 by prison guards. In response to George’s murder the New York State based Attica Prison uprising took place just weeks after George’s murder. 1,500 prisoners released a manifesto with their demands and controlled the prison for four days. The then governor of NY ordered that the prison be stormed by law enforcement and 29 prisoners were killed, none of the prisoners were armed with guns. Today George Jackson is remembered as a revolutionary who fought for his freedom and the freedom of others. His two books include Blood in My Eye and Soledad Brother: The Prison Letters of George Jackson. To this day, we are told that any prisoner in California found with even the name George Jackson anywhere on his person or in his cell is disciplined. We will hear reflections on George Jackson from Dr. Angela Davis, James Baldwin, Sundiata Tate, Walida Imarisha and Rachel Herzing featured in the Freedom Archives 99 Books digital series.

This is the fourth panel of a series that builds on the momentum created by the most recent report titled: HOODWINKED IN THE HOTHOUSE (THIRD EDITION): RESIST FALSE SOLUTIONS TO CLIMATE CHANGE. Moderated by Tom Goldtooth of the Indigenous Environmental Network and co-organized by the Hoodwinked Collaborative and The New School. As part of President Biden's infrastructure plan, federal and state governments are providing billions in so-called climate subsidies, policy incentives and tax breaks to dangerous and dirty energy industries. These include: biomass and waste incinerators; nuclear power, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure for fossil-fuel facilities. The direct impact is to frontline and environmental justice communities who are facing increased pollution burdens and toxic threats. In part 4 the speakers examine and present data for how movement concepts, narratives and knowledge are co-opted to promote a corporate agenda. Todays panel discussion highlights emergent threats of climate false solutions across U.S. federal and state policy landscapes. Panelists are community campaigners, community leaders, researchers, and frontline organizations who are fighting the myths associated with carbon capture and storage, nuclear, hydrogen, biofuels and waste incineration. Along with debunking what they see as false climate crisis solutions, they also highlight inspiring stories of success led by environmental justice communities. They point out that to effectively move money away from dangerous policy directions and towards real climate justice solutions, coalition building is needed amongst national green groups, labor unions, climate philanthropy, and policymakers who should work with frontline communities in opposing these schemes.

Earlier this week the military occupiers of Myanmar executed four human rights campaigners. They were found guilty in secret trials. There was a military coup in Myanmar carried out on Feb 1, 2021. People responded with peaceful protests, with garment workers, the majority of whom are women at the forefront of the protests. The military responded by killing thousands, and many more have been arrested, and rape and torture happen in custody. Many may recall that the military in an earlier operation committed genocide and other atrocities against the Rohingya people. Other lesser- known ethic groups were also attacked and brutalized. Hundreds of thousands were forced to flee their homes. In this round of conflict thousands have also been forced to flee including the tribal Karen people many of whom have had to flee into the forests with their children. International outrage is growing in part as a result of the recent executions, but also a global campaign has been launched against fashion brands still doing business in Myanmar despite a call from trade unions in Myanmar for the fashion brands to pull out and do it in a way that ensures transparency and that compensation be paid to workers and that they contribute humanitarian aid to people in Myanmar. Well-known brands in the U.S. still doing business in Myanmar where wages of garment workers are $2.50 a day include: Adidas, Guess, H&M and Zara. There is a bill in the US Congress now called the Burma Act calling for sanctions vs the Myanmar military as well as for humanitarian aid to the people. The bill is now held up in the US Senate. However, the bill fails to call for companies based in the US to pull out of Myanmar. Many companies that pulled out of the Ukraine in protest of the Russian invasion of that country nevertheless have remained in Myanmar. Under the banner Myanmar Military: Never in Fashion a series of protests have been held in London England against brands including Pimark who are still doing business in Myanmar. Our guests are Khaing Zar Aun, President of the Industrial Workers Federation of Myanmar, and London, England-based Laura Watson who works with the Myanmar Military: Never in Fashion campaign and the Global Women’s Strike.

The Poor People's Campaign is demanding that the 140 million poor and low-income people in our nation " from every race, creed, color, sexuality and place " are no longer ignored, dismissed or pushed to the margins of this country's political and social agenda. The economic and social costs of poverty and the injustices of systemic racism, militarism and ecological devastation are unsustainable. The United States has the wealth to end these interlocking injustices, so why isn't ending poverty a priority for policy makers? Why can millions be found for war and occupation but not extend a program that lifted millions of children out of poverty? The welfare rights movement encouraged Dr. Martin Luther King to focus on poverty and months before his assassination Dr. King called for the first Poor People's Campaign. By the time he called for the Poor People's Campaign Dr. King had evolved far beyond focusing solely on civil rights, to campaigning against the inter-locking injustices of racism, poverty and war. Four years ago, growing out of the Moral Mondays Movement that took hold in the South of the US, Rev William Barber the II and Rev Liz Theoharis, a multiracial team restarted the Poor Peoples' Campaign. Their focus is what is referred to by the PPC as the pillars of evil, the interlocking injustices: racism, poverty, the war economy, ecological devastation and the nations twisted moral narrative. Since then they have grown into a massive movement with bases in 43 states across the U.S. In 2022 that movement came together in Washington DC for a Poor People's & Low-Wage Workers' Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls.

Selma James is a women's rights and anti racist campaigner and author. From 1958 to 1962 she worked with C.L.R. James in the movement for West Indian federation and independence. In 1972 she co founded the International Wages for Housework Campaign, and in 2000 helped launch the Global Women's Strike whose strategy for change is Invest in Caring, Not Killing. She coined the word unwaged, which has since entered the English language. In the 1970s she was the first spokeswoman of the English Collective of Prostitutes. She is a founding member of the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network. She co authored the classic The Power of Women and the Subversion of the Community, which launched the domestic labor debate. Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein is an assistant professor of physics and astronomy and core faculty in women's and gender studies at the University of New Hampshire. Her research in theoretical physics focuses on cosmology, neutron stars, and dark matter. She additionally does research in Black feminist science, technology, and society studies. Dr. Prescod-Weinstein is also a columnist for New Scientist and Physics World. Nature recognized her as one of 10 people who shaped science in 2020, and Essence magazine has recognized her as one of 15 Black Women Who Are Paving the Way in STEM and Breaking Barriers. A cofounder of Particles for Justice, she received the 2017 LGBT+ Physicists Acknowledgement of Excellence Award for her contributions to improving conditions for marginalized people in physics and the 2021 American Physical Society Edward A. Bouchet Award for her contributions to particle cosmology, including co-founding Particles for Justice. Her first book The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey into Dark Matter, Spacetime, and Dreams Deferred received the 2021 Los Angeles Times Book Prize in the science and technology category and was named a Best Book of 2021 by Publishers Weekly, Smithsonian Magazine, and Kirkus. It has been a finalist for several awards including the 2022 PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award. The Disordered Cosmos was also longlisted for the OCM Bocas Prize in Caribbean Literature.

This is the third panel of a series that builds on the momentum created by the most recent report on the impact of climate change on indigenous and frontline communities titled, HOODWINKED IN THE HOTHOUSE (THIRD EDITION): RESIST FALSE SOLUTIONS TO CLIMATE CHANGE. As part of President Biden’s infrastructure plan, federal and state governments are providing billions in so named “climate subsidies”, policy incentives and tax breaks to dangerous and dirty energy industries. These include: biomass and waste incinerators; nuclear power, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure for fossil-fuel facilities, frontline and environmental justice communities are facing increased pollution burdens and toxic threats. Today’s panel discussion highlights emergent threats of climate false solutions across U.S. federal and state policy landscapes. Panelists are community campaigners, community leaders, researchers, and frontline organizations who are fighting the myths associated with carbon capture and storage, nuclear, hydrogen, biofuels and waste incineration. Along with debunking what they see as false climate crisis solutions, they also highlight inspiring stories of success led by environmental justice communities. They point out that to effectively move money away from dangerous policy directions and towards real climate justice solutions, coalition building is needed amongst national green groups, labor unions, climate philanthropy, and policymakers who should work with frontline communities in opposing these schemes.

In response, on Monday, several dozen undocumented migrants, known as sans-papiers, and their supporters took over unoccupied apartments in the 9th arrondissement section of Paris to demand rights for all, citing the right to adequate housing and the plight of the undocumented migrant as two issues that have been absent in the French Presidential campaign. Protestors from the collective Chapel du vous, are using one of the occupied apartments as an embassy for immigrants, calling on the example of Ukrainian refugees who in a matter of weeks, had access to a system to facilitate accommodation, documents and free access to transportation.

This historic action has come to be known as the Shawnee Showdown. This relatively small group of activists were successful in stopping commercial logging in the Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois for 17 years. But in 2013, the Forest Service won a motion to lift the injunction. Currently, thousands of acres at the Shawnee National Forest are scheduled for logging operations. Shawnee is managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, they allow logging on public lands, wood is then sold to logging companies at a price that is below market value. The fight to save the Shawnee Forest continues today, with the most recent attempt by organizers to transfer the Shawnee National Forest out of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s control and into the hands of the U.S. Department of the Interior, with a proposal that would establish Shawnee as a National Park and designate it as the nation’s first climate preserve. Today on Sojourner Truth, we continue our Earth week coverage with our round panel. Our guests are three ecologists: John Wallace, Steve Taylor and Orin Langelle, that took part in the Shawnee Showdown nearly 30 years ago, joining us today to discuss their experience and the present fight to establish the Shawnee Forest as the nation's first climate preserve.

This panel features Indigenous organizers from frontline communities that are disproportionately impacted by false solutions to the climate crisis. From Anishnabeg communities in Canada fighting the contamination of water to Diné communities in Southwest Turtle Island, climate false solutions such as nuclear power, megadams, fracking, and many more continue to cause displacement, contamination of land, food, & water, and disaster in Indigenous communities worldwide. Todays speakers include :Kandi White representing the Indigenous Environmental Network Leona Morgan of Diné No Nukes and Lucien Wabanonik, Anishnabeg Tribe and Innu First Nations The panel will share stories from the frontlines about their efforts to stop the ongoing impacts of false climate solutions such as nuclear power and radioactive waste dumps, enhanced oil recovery for fracking in the Bakken Oil Shale, tree plantations and hydroelectric plants & mega dams built on the land of First Nations tribes in Quebec. Climate false solutions such as nuclear power, hydropower, biofuel, fracking and enhanced oil recovery, carbon offsets, carbon capture, biodiversity offsets, and nature based solutions are sold by corporations and NGOs alike as ways to combat climate change that also boost the economy. Solutions rooted in growth and profit will not solve the climate crisis and will continue to enact violence on the natural world and on frontline communities across the globe.

Multinational corporations pushing GM crops, food, trees and fish are up against environmentalists who outright oppose them or question the need for them. Will we see a future where foods are derived from GM microorganisms or GM animals are more broadly introduced into the market? Does the general public even know what GM foods they are now consuming? In 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California agreed, with the ruling that the FDA ignored the serious environmental consequences of approving GM salmon. The court also ruled that FDA's unilateral decision that GM salmon could have no possible effect on highly endangered, wild Atlantic salmon was wrong and it violated the Endangered Species Ac. The original suit was filed in 2016 by the Quinault Native American tribe in Washington state, who sued the FDA along with environmental and fishing organizations, for approving the safety of GM salmon based on limited research. We will speak to Policy Director for the Center for Food Safety, Jaydee Hanson on the recent court ruling and what it means for the future of GM foods in the U.S. Jaydee Hanson's expertise includes emerging technology issues related to nanotechnology, synthetic biology, animal cloning, animal genetic engineering and gene editing. He has a Master's degree in Biogeography and Resource Management from the University of Hawai'i. Before coming to the Center for Food Safety, he worked for the National Marine Fisheries Service, starting both the environmental justice program of the United Methodist Church and their genetics and bioethics program. He is a co-author of the Principles for the Oversight of Synthetic Biology, the US co-chair for the Nanotechnology Taskforce of the Transatlantic Consumers Dialogue, a member of the synthetic biology experts committee for the Convention on Biological Diversity and a fellow of the Institute on Biotechnology and the Human Future.

According to the UN there have been 636 civilian casualties and 1, 125 injured.

Over two million Ukrainians have fled, most are in neighboring Poland where the welcome mat has been laid out for them. There are reports however, that Black and other refugees of color fleeing the Ukraine are having a difficult time getting out of Ukraine and are being denied entrance to Poland or treated in a racist manner on the one hand by Ukrainian police and on the other hand by Polish guards.

Forty-eight additional sites have been proposed for entry on the list. For years activists have worked to draw attention to the Westlake Landfill, in MO, a superfund site, that encases a radioactive fire that is currently burning underground. The radioactive Superfund site has sat in the middle of a St. Louis Community for over 45 years leaving surface level radioactive waste to blow and be subject to all the elements. Presently, the Westlake Landfill is experiencing an active fire deep underground. It causes waste to decompose at an accelerated rate, producing excess gas and liquid. This results in a pungent odor byproduct of this gas and liquid. The Westlake Landfill sits in the floodplain of the Missouri River where radioactive contaminants (from the landfill?) are spreading into other neighboring communities along the river. The waste was created during World War II, when St. Louis-based Mallinckrodt Chemical Works purified all the uranium for the first nuclear weapons. The waste was eventually purchased by Cotter Corporation, then illegally dumped in north St. Louis County in 1973 The EPA classified it as a Superfund Site–a classification only given to the most polluted sites in the U.S.-- and put it on the National Priority List in 1992 30 years ago. Since then residents most impacted by the toxic waste site have organized to demand government action. In 2018 the EPA declared plans to remove a majority of the radioactive material and ensure the safety of the surrounding community. The clean up plan intended to remove contamination by digging out waste at varying depths between 8 and 20 feet below the surface, depending on the amount of radioactivity that exists at each location. Concerned residents continue to urge the EPA to revise and adjust their clean up plan to include the river and surrounding areas. Unhealthy levels of radium and other radioactive material remain despite these clean up efforts, resulting in constant exposure for the soil and the people living closest to the site, increasing their chances of developing lung cancers, lupus, asthma, and tumors. Advocates continue to urge the EPA to continue to clean the superfund site and make revisions to their clean up plan that take into account data reflecting current radioactive levels. Our guest joining Sojourner Truth Radio today is Dawn Chapman, a resident who lives near the landfill who will tell us what the EPA has done this far; the impacts of contamination on her community and discuss her ongoing advocacy work to push the EPA to clean up the West Lake site. Dawn Chapman, runs non-profit organization “Just Moms STL, (St. Louis) working in tandem with co-founder Karen Nickel. Just Moms is an advocacy group formed with the goal of raising awareness and community engagement regarding the nearby West Lake Landfill Superfund site. Living mere miles from the landfill, Dawn became engaged in this effort in 2013 after contacting the MO Dept of Natural Resources regarding pungent odors. That call lead Dawn on an unlikely journey from housewife and mother of three to becoming an advocate, a repository of knowledge and history about this site, and even a mentor to people dealing with the impact of other Superfund sites on their own communities across the country. Dawn has collaborated with and advised local, state and federal agencies, media organizations, and both locally affected community members as well as passionate environmental advocates worldwide. She has presented to groups as widely varied as high school and college classes, church and municipal groups, the MO State Legislature, all the way up to appearing before the United Nations Human Rights and Environmental Justice division. She was also invited to present to the White House Council on Environmental Quality. Her story is documented in the HBO Documentary: Atomic Homefront.

Likely many of you are gearing up to relax and root for your favorite team during Superbowl 2022 which takes place at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Los Angeles on Sunday February 13th. Inglewood is a community facing gentrification with a large Black and other people of color population. But what is going on behind the scenes as law enforcement promises to crack down on those viewed as “undesirables”, houseless people and sex workers. For every Superbowl there is the claim promoted by law enforcement and anti-sex worker campaigners that the bowls are a haven for sex trafficking. Not so says a coalition of sex worker organizations. They are planning to expose racist and sexist trafficking and the superbowl misinformation, and the misinformation about trafficking generally.

We discuss challenges facing Black and Brown communities today including: on-going bomb threats against HBCUs; the latest on what is going on in Congress to protect certification of Presidential elections and community based work being done to encourage voters and to protect the vote; those on the right slamming President Biden’s announcement that he will select a Black woman to the US Supreme Court and the Dept of Justice has refused to reopen the federal investigation into the 2014 police killing of 12 year old Tamir Rice . Our first guest is Barbara Arnwine President and Founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition. And racist and anti-Semitic vandalism at Queens College part of the City University of New York.

Wade. The 1973 landmark decision protects a woman's right to have an abortion. Since the Supreme Court decision, forces on the right have been organizing to repeal it, and with the top court stacked with conservative judges, including Neil M. Gorsuch, Brett M. Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, who were put in place by Donald Trump. Women across the nation are worried that they will lose the right to abortion. According to a 2021 Gallup poll, 58 percent of people in the United States are opposed to overturning the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, while only 32 percent are in favor of overturning it. Mississippi is asking the Supreme Court to affirm its legislatures judgment banning abortions in the state after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Our guest is Dolores Huerta, a mother, grandmother, and icon in the women's movement.

The verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial is being celebrated by white supremacists who see him as a hero. Meanwhile, Black and Brown people are concerned that the message being sent is that it is open season on people of color; and that any white person can shoot and kill a person of color and get away with it by claiming they felt they were under threat. Although the Rittenhouse victims were white people, people of color understand quite well the implications of the ruling. Our guests are Rev. Dr. Monica L. Cummings and Barbara Arnwine. Rev. Dr. Monica L. Cummings is Assistant Minister at Bradford Community Church Unitarian Universalist in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Barbara Arnwine is a veteran civil rights and human rights leader and advocate. She is currently the President & Founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition. For 26 years, she was the Executive Director of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Despite being labeled as extremists and terrorists, and being killed, beaten, met with water cannons, and having their protest camps burned down, farmers in India scored a huge victory against the Modi government. Farmers, formally viewed as illiterate and uneducated, have managed to unite and emerge as a force to be reckoned with, in opposition to Modi. They have established pride in being farmers, with organizational skills that movements around the world can learn from. Women farmers in India were visible in the movement. The farmers worked across movements, including a coming together of farmers and agricultural workers. The farmers' protests were noted around the world and support for the farmers included actions in the UK and the US. Sadly, over 670 farmers have died in the movement, and there are demands that a memorial be set up for them. Our guest is Didi Rossi, who has been key in organizing support in the UK and in other countries for the farmers protests, including helping to plan a victory celebration on Friday November 26, which marks the one year anniversary of the farmers strike. Didi has been in direct contact with farmers and their supporters on the ground in India. She is a member of the Global Women's Strike UK.

Family unwaged caregivers " most of whom are women, including mothers and grandmothers, and the most impoverished women on welfare " provide care for relatives, children, the elderly and persons with disabilities. Caregivers are expected to pick up the slack without any acknowledgement of the value or resources for their work. The International Labor Office has estimated that women do two-thirds of the worlds work for five percent of the income. And according to a report released by Oxfam in January 2020, women around the world perform 12.5 billion hours of unpaid labor every day. Overall, the work of unwaged caregivers has been estimated to contribute at least $11 trillion to the global economy, according to a Human Development Report. Meanwhile, Indigenous peoples who are protecting the forests and natural farmers around the world are showing the way amid the ongoing climate crisis. Many of them are unwaged caregivers, who are providing both for people and the environment. They point out that in order to address the main cause of the climate crisis, we must transform our relationship with the natural world, beginning with agriculture. The interaction of soil, water and sun generates the water cycle on which the climate and all life depend. This forms part of the broader soil regeneration movement, which can help to reverse climate change by rebuilding soil organic matter and restoring degraded soil biodiversity " resulting in both carbon drawdown and improving the water cycle. Imagine a world where unwaged caregivers would be compensated for regenerating our soul and protecting our planet, instead of money going to governments and corporations. During todays show, we bring you audio from a recent webinar hosted by the Global Women's Strike, titled Care Income for People and Planet: Why Our Future Lies in the Soil. The webinars speakers help us better understand the interconnections between the movement for the rights of unwaged caregivers, and the need to protect our environment through progressive new methods, such as soil regeneration. We hear from speakers around the world, who comment on the need to unite both movements.

One of them is the trial of three white men accused of killing a young Black jogger last year in broad daylight in Georgia. Ahmaud Arbery was shot on February 23, 2020 by Gregory and Travis McMichael, and pursued by William Bryan. Today, we focus on the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 18-year-old young white man who shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, as well as seriously wounding Gaige Grosskreutz. Our guest is Kieran Knutson, President of CWA Local 7250 and has been active in protests in solidarity with George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement. Kieran is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Also, on Saturday, November 13, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as COP26, came to a close. The conference, which took place in Glasgow, Scotland, has been described by many as a failure and a disappointment. Like many of the decisions that came out of the COP26 climate summit, the final agreement has been widely critiqued as being weak and ineffective. Our guest is Tom Goldtooth, the executive director of the Indigenous Environmental Network.

After thousands there, including most world leaders, there is little left to show in the outcome thus far, except for a watered-down mention of coal and fossil fuels. Even though it's watered-down, the United States has refused to sign on to it. This, as the Biden administration bends to the coal and oil lobby, and is opening up more access to oil and gas drilling. "So much for US leadership," complain other countries. China and the US did announce what is seen as a breakthrough. They announced a non-binding agreement, that some see at least as a step in the right direction. The United States and other countries that are mostly responsible for the climate crisis are refusing to pay the funds needed by small islands and other developing countries of the Global South, who are the first to feel the brunt of climate change. They need these funds to stop and reverse the damage to their nations. Meanwhile, back in the United States, two trials highlighting racial tensions are taking place, and comparisons are being made to the history of vigilantism in the country. This, as attacks on teaching the true history of the United States is increasingly under attack, including voters in Virginia electing a Republican candidate saying they are concerned about what they call the teaching of critical race theory in schools. This, they say, is why they opposed the Democratic candidate. Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison's books have been attacked, with some suggesting that they be burned, including "Beloved" and "The Bluest Eye." What does all of this mean as the nation still refuses to grapple with its history and its present-day legacy. On the international front, we get an update from South of the Border, and we look at what is happening with the migrant crisis in Europe, including what is happening at the Poland-Belarus border. Meanwhile in China, President Xi moves to extend his presidency and to solidify his role in China's history.

Twenty-five thousand delegates from 200 countries are attending, and around 120 heads of state. The conference, which was delayed for a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, will run until Friday, November 12. Wednesday, November 10, marked one of the most critical days in the ongoing COP26 Conference of the Parties in Glasgow, Scotland. The conference has the stated purpose of taking global action on climate change, which is accelerating the environmental devastation of our planet. On Wednesday, the governments of China and the United States agreed to increase climate cooperation over the next decade. The world's two largest CO2 emitters pledged to act in a joint declaration. The declaration claims that both parties will work together to achieve the 1.5C temperature goal set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement. It also calls for stepped-up efforts to close the significant gap that remains to achieve that target. However, the joint statement was very short on details. And without details, no one knows what, if anything, will come out of the U.S. China agreement. U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping are even expected to hold a virtual meeting as early as next week, according to the BBC. Also on Wednesday, a draft agreement being circulated at the UN climate summit calls on countries to phase-out coal power. However, the draft agreement has been roundly criticized for failing to address the crisis. The UN Secretary General said that as of now, COP26 is on life support. By all accounts, unless something dramatic happens, it seems governments will have once again failed to address the climate catastrophe. Our guest is Souparna Lahiri, based in New Delhi, India. Souparna is the Global Forest Coalition's Climate Campaigner and Advisor. The Global Forest Coalition (GFC) is an international coalition of NGOs and Indigenous Peoples Organizations defending social justice and the rights of forest peoples in forest policies. We also hear from Vijay Kumar Thallam, the Advisor to Government of Andhra Pradesh for Agriculture & Cooperation, and in charge of implementation of natural farming in Andhra Pradesh. Lastly, Patrick Ioakimedes joins us to discuss an upcoming California Poor People's Campaign event focused on environmental devastation.

It also calls for stepped-up efforts to close the significant gap that remains to achieve that target. However, the joint statement was very short on details. And without details, no one knows what, if anything, will come out of the U.S. China agreement. U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping are even expected to hold a virtual meeting as early as next week, according to the BBC. Also on Wednesday, a draft agreement being circulated at the UN climate summit calls on countries to phase-out coal power. However, the draft agreement has been roundly criticized for failing to address the crisis. The UN Secretary General said that as of now, COP26 is on life support. By all accounts, unless something dramatic happens, it seems governments will have once again failed to address the climate catastrophe. Our guest is Souparna Lahiri, based in New Delhi, India. Souparna is the Global Forest Coalition's Climate Campaigner and Advisor. The Global Forest Coalition (GFC) is an international coalition of NGOs and Indigenous Peoples Organizations defending social justice and the rights of forest peoples in forest policies. We also hear from Vijay Kumar Thallam, the Advisor to Government of Andhra Pradesh for Agriculture & Cooperation, and in charge of implementation of natural farming in Andhra Pradesh. Lastly, Patrick Ioakimedes joins us to discuss an upcoming California Poor People's Campaign event focused on environmental devastation.

Our planet is experiencing an urgent state of crisis. The environmental devastation of our planet, accelerated by climate change, is getting worse by the day. According to the World Health Organization, climate change is the greatest threat to global health in the 21st century, surpassing even the ongoing and deadly COVID-19 pandemic. Land temperatures have increased about twice as fast as the global average. Globally, 2020 was the hottest year on record, according to NASA. The warmest years in our planets history have all occurred since 2005. Every year, approximately 75 billion tons of fertile soil is lost to land degradation, according to the United Nations. The livelihoods of more than 1 billion people in about 100 countries are threatened by desertification. Heat waves and wildfires are becoming more frequent, intensive, and extensive. Between 2000 and 2016, the number of people exposed to heat waves increased by around 125 million. During this time, more than 166,000 people died because of heat waves. In 2020, the number of wildfires around the world were up 13 percent from 2019, which was already a record year. The World Wildlife Fund estimates that at least 75 percent of all wildfires are caused by human activity. Increased warming in the Arctic and Antarctica has also contributed to melting permafrost, glacial retreat and sea ice loss. On Sunday, October 31, the United Nations Climate Change Conference kicked off the COP26 (Conference of the Parties) in Glasgow, Scotland. Twenty-five thousand delegates from 200 countries are attending, and around 120 heads of state. The conference, which was delayed for a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, will run until Friday, November 12. The conference is the 26th COP to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the third meeting of the parties to the Paris Climate Accords. Today, a special on COP26 and the urgent state of the environment. Our guests are Tina Gerhardt and Winnie Overbeek. Tina Gerhardt is an environmental journalist and academic. Her work has been published by Grist, The Progressive, The Nation and Sierra Magazine. She is currently the Barron Professor of the Environment at Princeton University. Tina is the author of the forthcoming book, Atlas of Islands in a Rising Ocean. She is covering COP 26 for The Nation and Sierra Magazine. Her most recent article for The Nation is At COP 26, Island Nations Demand Action on Funding and Emissions. Winnie Overbeek has been the coordinator of the World Rainforest Movement (WRM) since 2011, a global network supporting forest-dependent communities in their struggles to defend their territories in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Winnie is based in the Brazilian town of Vitoria in the Espirito Santo state. Before engaging with WRM, Winnie has worked for many years with networks and organizations in Brazil supporting communities affected by large scale tree plantations and other large-scale (agro) industrial projects.

The World Wildlife Fund estimates that at least 75 percent of all wildfires are caused by human activity. Increased warming in the Arctic and Antarctica has also contributed to melting permafrost, glacial retreat and sea ice loss.

Our planet is experiencing an urgent state of crisis. The environmental devastation of our planet, accelerated by climate change, is getting worse by the day. According to the World Health Organization, climate change is the greatest threat to global health in the 21st century, surpassing even the ongoing and deadly COVID-19 pandemic. Land temperatures have increased about twice as fast as the global average. Globally, 2020 was the hottest year on record, according to NASA. The warmest years in our planets history have all occurred since 2005. Every year, approximately 75 billion tons of fertile soil is lost to land degradation, according to the United Nations. The livelihoods of more than 1 billion people in about 100 countries are threatened by desertification. Heat waves and wildfires are becoming more frequent, intensive, and extensive.

They are also part of frontline communities severely impacted by the exploitation of Mother Earth, and have asked that we have another relationship with nature. They have made significant gains. In September of 2021, the Indigenous Environmental Network and Oil Change International released a report entitled Indigenous Resistance Against Carbon. The report analyzes the impact Indigenous resistance to fossil fuel projects in the United States and Canada has had on greenhouse gas emissions over the past 10 years. According to the report, Indigenous resistance has stopped or delayed greenhouse gas pollution equivalent to at least 25 percent of annual U.S. and Canadian emissions. Indeed, Indigenous peoples have long led the fight to protect Mother Earth and many say the only way forward is to center Indigenous knowledge and keep fossil fuels in the ground. Not only have Indigenous peoples directly confronted climate change head-on, most often putting their lives on the line. For decades, the Global Justice Ecology Project, as well as other environmental campaigners, have been raising alarms about false climate solutions. They have pointed out that these false climate solutions only provide superficial and cosmetic changes to an urgent systemic problem. As the United Nations prepares for its upcoming COP 26 climate change conference in Glasgow, Scotland, from Nov. 1-12, Indigenous and other environmental campaigners continue to speak out against these false solutions. This, as we're facing what is increasingly described as a climate catastrophe. A coalition of grassroots Indigenous and environmental movements have released a new third edition of a report titled, Hoodwinked in the Hothouse: Resist False Solutions to Climate Change. It is an easy-to-read, concise-yet-comprehensive compendium of the false corporate promises, which its authors say lead us down risky pathways poised to waste billions of public dollars on a host of corporate snake-oil schemes and market-based mechanisms. Hoodwinked in the Hothouse also provides a robust framework for understanding the depth of real solutions and how they should be determined, rooted in pro-Indigenous, pro-environment, and anti-capitalist thought. Previous editions of Hoodwinked in the Hothouse played a major role in raising awareness across climate movements around the world; both helping frontline organizers in their fights against destructive energy proposals, and shifting policy positions of large non-governmental organizations. Today on Sojourner Truth, we bring you Part 1 of our two-part Hoodwinked in the Hothouse series, featuring an international panel of climate justice organizers and frontline community leaders. The speakers include: Eriel Tchekwie Deranger, Executive Director of Indigenous Climate Action; Jacqui Patterson of the Chisholm Legacy Project; Moeka De Oro of Micronesia Climate Justice Alliance; and Tom Goldtooth, Executive Director of the Indigenous Environmental Network. They discuss the new Hoodwinked in the Hothouse report, as well as the multi-billion dollar climate investments being promoted by fossil fuel industries and other disaster capitalists.

Our guests are Laura Carlsen, Jackie Goldberg, and Dr. Gerald Horne. The fight for the future of U.S. domestic policy. The Build Back Better Act. Bernie Sanders is not backing down from his push for spending $3.5 trillion. President Biden says the U.S. is at an inflection point and this investment is needed now. But Senator Manchin is in the way. So is the filibuster. Senator Manchin wants to cut the proposed Build Back Better Act figure in half. But that doesn't fly with Senator Sanders and other progressives. Democrats need a big win given the midterm elections in 2022. Some are saying that President Biden's Build Back Better Act is the largest social program proposed since FDR's New Deal. Is the Build Back Better Act a U.S. version of Democratic Socialism? As we mark the 10th anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, will conservatives on both sides of the aisle insist that the U.S. continue on the path of unfettered prioritization of the market over the care of people and the environment? Meanwhile, conservatives are complaining that jobs are not getting filled post-COVID. This, as some workers are refusing work that doesn't pay a living wage and is destructive to their bodies. Conservatives blame Biden's COVID relief subsidies that people are not taking jobs they don't want blame corporate greed. Lessons learned from the California Governor Recall Election. What do California Democrats prioritize now? What are the implications on the national scene? On U.S. foreign policy, is the influence of Washington waning? Recently alienating the EU, including France, and the U.S. seems to bypass traditional allies to cut a military deal with Australia and the U.K. against China.

Civil Rights leaders have been pressuring President Biden and Congressional Democrats to take urgent action. This, as voter suppression laws are spreading across the United States. The most recent law, a very restrictive one, passed in Texas. In an effort to get something done, Democrats have cut a deal with Blue Dog Democrats (Conservative Democrats), including Joe Manchin. On Tuesday, September 14, eight Senate Democrats joined Manchin to put forth a new voting rights bill named the Freedom to Vote Act. To give reaction to what is happening in this historic fight for voting rights, we speak with voting rights campaigner Barbara Arnwine. An update on the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, where there is a continuing humanitarian crisis, including that of 2,200 unaccompanied children who crossed the border in July. Our guest is Alba Jaramillo, Executive Director of Arizona Justice For Our Neighbors. For our weekly Earth Watch, over 1,000 arrests as Indigenous peoples and environmental campaigners fight to stop logging on Vancouver Island's ancient forests.

Thank you for staying with us. This is your host, Margaret Prescod. Today: Poetry for Haiti, the worlds first Black republic, which is struggling to overcome neo-colonialism, imposed poverty, state violence, and natural disasters produced by climate change. In the early morning hours of August 14, 2021, a powerful magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck southern Haiti, killing at least 2,200 people and injuring over 12,000 others, according to France 24. These figures, however, are expected to be much higher and many people remain unaccounted for. The Associated Press reported that at least 136,800 buildings were damaged or destroyed. The August 2021 earthquake that struck Haiti was the deadliest natural disaster of 2021; and it was the worst natural disaster to strike Haiti since the 2010 earthquake. Just two days later, on August 16, 2021, Haiti experienced a direct hit from Hurricane Grace, which poured over 10 inches of rain on the nation. There was further damage from flash flooding and landslides that led to more casualties, especially among those hundreds of thousands of Haitians left homeless by the earthquake. According to the United Nations, at least 1.2 million people, including 540,000 children, had been impacted by the twin devastations of the earthquake and the hurricane. Meanwhile, all of this took place within the context of COVID-19, state violence, political instability, and attacks on the poor. In the Summer of 2021, a benefit for the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund (known as HERF) was organized by longtime Haiti solidarity campaigners. HERF provides concrete material aid directly to the people of Haiti, such as water, food, shelter, medicine, housing, and more. The benefit, dubbed Poetry for Haiti, was an afternoon of soul-nourishing poetry and an opportunity to support Haitis movement for democracy. The event featured Devorah Major, San Franciscos Third Poet Laureate, Tongo Eisen-Martin, San Franciscos current Poet Laureate, and Shanga Labossiere. It also featured a heart-warming tribute by longtime Haiti human rights activist Pierre Labossiere, to beloved elders of the Haiti solidarity movement. They include: Mrs. Solange Aristide, mother of President Jean Bertrand Aristide; Terry Collins, a community leader and co-founder of KPOO-FM; and Jacques Antoine Gwo Lobo, a Haitian DJ, community leader, and activist with the Lavalas movement. The Sojourner Truth Team, myself and Assistant Producer Ramiro Funez, had the honor of meeting Gwo Lobo in 2019, when we traveled to Haiti to cover the grassroots uprising. We bid farewell to these beloved and highly revered elders. Today on Sojourner Truth, we bring you exclusive audio from this historic event, Poetry for Haiti. The event was co-sponsored by the Haiti Action Committee, the Ecumenical Peace Institute, East Bay Sanctuary Covenant, and St. Johns Presbyterian Church Mission and Justice Commission.

From the devastation of Hurricane Idea leaving a swath of suffering from Louisiana and sweeping across the nation to the East Coast, and with wildfires continuing in California and across the West Coast, climate change is upon us. Is the nation prepared? What is the responsibility of government to protect the planet? Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is in Louisiana. But how serious is his administration about getting to the root of the climate crisis? Why are people of color hardest hit by the climate crisis? What are the global implications of the crisis, with devastation floods in Germany and Spain and massive wildfires in Greece and Italy? The battle lines are drawn on how to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including the Delta variant, sweeping the United States. Hospitalizations are at the highest point in the United States since last winter. What's going on? As schools reopen, the battle is now focused on school board meetings, where school board members are coming under attack by anti-vaxers and by other parents who do not want their children either vaccined or masked. Increasingly, children are getting the virus and are being hospitalized. This, as Donald Trump is planning a "Liberty Tour" of the nation, which will include anti-vaxers. Roe vs. Wade is facing its most serious threat yet as Texas implements a draconian anti-abortion law as the Supreme Court allows the law to move forward. What are the global implications of the U.S. defeat in Afghanistan? As Biden's approval rating falls in the polls, is he trying to shift the U.S. away from a war economy to a caring economy?

We honor all workers, those who are waged, as well as those who are unwaged. This year, we uplift the Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor Labor Coalition, with whom we have partnered over the years for our Labor Day Special. This year will mark their 42nd annual Labor Day event. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coalition is unable to march the streets hand in hand with their union sisters and brothers, community, friends, and supporters. Furthermore, due to these unprecedented times, many union families have been economically affected and are in need of help. With this in mind, the Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor Labor Coalition will join other labor unions to do a massive food distribution on Labor Day. On Labor Day, Monday, September 6, 2021, from 9 am to 12 pm, the Coalition will host its very first Labor of Love food distribution event to help feed those who are in need. Their goal is to distribute food to 3,500 families. Our guests are Ramon Ponce De Leon, Armando Olivas, and Larry Barragan. Ramon Ponce De Leon is president of ILWU Local 13. He is a third-generation longshoreman and has been in the industry for nearly four decades. Ramon has been dealing with the COVID pandemic amongst his members, who are very important essential workers that operate the Los Angeles-Long Beach Ports. These are the nation's largest ports that supply food and goods for the United States and the world. Armando Olivas is Executive Director of Labor Community Services, an affiliation of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor. Armando and his team have been instrumental in organizing food distributions throughout Southern California during the COVID pandemic and continue to feed thousands of union and community members. Armando was a guest on last years Labor Day show. Larry Barragan is a 32-year member of United Steelworkers Union Local 675 and Chairman of the Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor Labor Coalition.

Bob passed away at the age of 86 at his home in Hollywood, Florida. Today, we pay homage to his life and legacy as a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and the Algebra Project. In 1960, Bob became field secretary for SNCC and later director of the SNCC's Mississippi Project in 1961. He traveled to Pike County and Amite County to try to register Black voters with other local community leaders. Bob experienced constant violence and intimidation, and was beaten and arrested in Amite County. He was one of the first Black people in the area to legally challenge white violence, and filed assault charges against his attacker. Today's guests are David Dennis, Martha Prescod Noonan and Dr. Gerald Horne. David J. Dennis is a civil rights activist active in the movement since the 1960s. He grew up in the segregated area of Omega, Louisiana, and worked as co-director of the Council of Federated Organizations as director of Mississippi's Congress of Racial Equality, and as one of the organizers of the Mississippi Freedom Summer of 1964. David worked closely with both Bob Moses and Medgar Evers, as well as members of SNCC, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Martha Prescod Noonan is a community organizer, activist, homemaker, and teacher of history, including the Civil Rights Movement. Martha grew up in Rhode Island and attended the University of Michigan. She was a fundraiser and a field secretary for SNCC and worked with Bob Moses. She is one of the editors of a book about SNCC womens experiences in the movement, titled "Hands On The Freedom Plow." Dr. Gerald Horne, Moores Professor of History & African-American Studies at the University of Houston, has written more than 30 books. His most recently published book is "The Bittersweet Science: Racism, Racketeering and the Political Economy of Boxing." He is also the author of "The Dawning of the Apocalypse: The Roots of Slavery, White Supremacy, Settler Colonialism, and Capitalism in the Long Sixteenth Century."

They face violence and repression as they continue to defend their water and lands from right-wing governments and extractivist multinational companies. In Chile, the Indigenous Mapuche people have been leading the charge when it comes to defending protected environmental areas from occupying forces. Back in June, Mapuche land rights defender Alberto Curamil was seriously injured in a shooting by police. Meanwhile, in Honduras, a U.S.-trained former Honduran army intelligence officer was recently found guilty over the assassination of Indigenous Lenca environmental activist Berta Caceres. Roberto David Castillo, the president of an internationally-financed hydroelectric company, was found guilty of being co-collaborator in ordering the murder. Our guest is Francisca Stuardo, a Santiago-based consultant for the international climate advocacy group Global Witness. She works on their land and environmental defenders campaign, which highlights threats against activists and pushes businesses, financiers and governments to protect them. On Monday, July 12, the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival announced that it will launch a month of Moral Mondays, featuring peaceful civil disobedience in Washington D.C. and other state capitals, through August 2. It is being billed as the Season of Non-Violent Moral Action. This comes after the For the People Act, a groundbreaking bill in defense of voter rights, failed to pass the Senate, as Republicans voted against starting debate on it. The Poor Peoples Campaign has also been calling for the realization of the Third Reconstruction in the United States. The Third Reconstruction draws from the transformational history of the First Reconstruction following the U.S. Civil War and the Second Reconstruction of the civil rights movement of the 20th century. Our guest is the Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, Co-Chair of the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival along with the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II.

This comes after the For the People Act, a groundbreaking bill in defense of voter rights, failed to pass the Senate, as Republicans voted against starting debate on it. The Poor Peoples Campaign has also been calling for the realization of the Third Reconstruction in the United States. The Third Reconstruction draws from the transformational history of the First Reconstruction following the U.S. Civil War and the Second Reconstruction of the civil rights movement of the 20th century. Our guest is the Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, Co-Chair of the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival along with the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II.

The latest on the situation in Haiti and the U.S. response following the assassination of Haiti's President, Jovenel Moise. It has been almost a week since Moise was assassinated in his home, yet many questions remain up in the air. What were Colombian ex-military members doing in Haiti? How did the assailants get through a fortified compound, defended by Haitian security forces, with no other deaths? Our guest is journalist and Haiti expert Kevin Pina.

This week, we focus on the latest news in Haiti and Afghanistan. Our panelists are Laura Carlsen, Jackie Goldberg, Dr. Gerald Horne, and David Comissiong, Barbados's Ambassador to the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). The ongoing crisis in Haiti following the assassination of U.S.-backed President Jovenel Moise. We speak with David Comissiong, Barbados's Ambassador to the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). Heads of government of CARICOM have issued a statement in the wake of the assassination of Moise. The heads of government strongly condemned the act as abhorrent and reprehensible, pointing out that this comes at a time of deep turmoil and institutional weakness in the country. Moise, a U.S.-backed former banana exporter from the private sector, had been accused of rampant corruption and human rights abuses. His assassination takes place within the context of longstanding U.S. support for right-wing dictators friendly to Washington and Wall Street. It also forms part of the long history of U.S. destabilization in Haiti and in Latin America and the Caribbean. On Wednesday, April 14, U.S. President Joe Biden announced that he plans to fully withdraw troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, ending 20 years of U.S. military occupation. The occupation has taken the lives of at least 2,300 U.S. troops and more than 100,000 Afghanis, according to most estimates. Thousands more have been injured, physically and mentally, with physical disabilities and post-traumatic stress disorders. On Thursday, July 8, President Joe Biden delivered a strong defense of his decision to end the war in Afghanistan, insisting no amount of sustained U.S. presence there could resolve the country's own systemic problems.

The Somoza family dictatorship ruled Nicaragua from 1937 until 1979, when the Sandinista National Liberation Front liberated the country from their rule. Upon taking power, the Sandinistas vowed to free their country from the grip of U.S. hegemony and prioritize the needs of poor people ahead of foreign corporations. Since then, the people of Nicaragua have faced constant attacks from war hawks in Washington. This, in an effort to topple the democratically-elected Sandinista government and impose a pro-U.S. government. During the 1980s, the U.S. armed and trained counter-revolutionary forces, known as the contras, in neighboring Honduras. Not only did the contras kill supporters of the Sandinistas and carry out terrorist attacks in Nicaragua. They also helped to smuggle drugs from South America into the United States, destroying Black and Brown communities at home. Although the Sandinistas lost an election in 1990 that temporarily removed them from power, they eventually came back in 2006 after another democratic election. Since 2006, the United States has continued to attempt to destabilize and overthrow the Sandinista government. This time, however, instead of using brute force and armed drug gangs, they are using crippling economic sanctions. Sanctions have devastating impacts on jobs, healthcare, food, water, education, transportation and more, impacting ordinary Nicaraguans. Today, we bring you audio from a presentation by the late Dr. Paul Oquist about the impact of sanctions on Nicaragua. Dr. Oquist was the Secretary Minister for National Policies under the Sandinista government. Although he was born and raised in the United States, Dr. Oquist was a lifelong supporter of the Sandinista Revolution. He held numerous positions in the progressive government during the 1980s, following the victory of the Sandinista Revolution, as well as after 2007, when the Sandinistas came back to power. In October of 2020, the U.S. government sanctioned Dr. Oquist, claiming that he was helping to "undermine democracy." As a dedicated environmentalist, Dr. Oquist refused to back the adoption of the Paris Agreement. He argued that the deal did not go far enough to cut global emissions and protect exploited countries from climate devastation. Sadly, Dr. Oquist passed away on April 11, 2021. He remains a hero to many in Nicaragua. Ramiro Funez, Assistant Producer of Sojourner Truth, recorded this presentation on March 15, 2021, during his participation in the Sanctions Kill & Friends of the Rural Workers Association Delegation to Nicaragua. This was Dr. Oquist's last public speech.

During the 1980s, the U.S. armed and trained counter-revolutionary forces, known as the contras, in neighboring Honduras. Not only did the contras kill supporters of the Sandinistas and carry out terrorist attacks in Nicaragua. They also helped to smuggle drugs from South America into the United States, destroying Black and Brown communities at home. Although the Sandinistas lost an election in 1990 that temporarily removed them from power, they eventually came back in 2006 after another democratic election. Since 2006, the United States has continued to attempt to destabilize and overthrow the Sandinista government. This time, however, instead of using brute force and armed drug gangs, they are using crippling economic sanctions. Sanctions have devastating impacts on jobs, healthcare, food, water, education, transportation and more, impacting ordinary Nicaraguans. Today, we bring you audio from a presentation by the late Dr. Paul Oquist about the impact of sanctions on Nicaragua. Dr. Oquist was the Secretary Minister for National Policies under the Sandinista government. Although he was born and raised in the United States, Dr. Oquist was a lifelong supporter of the Sandinista Revolution. He held numerous positions in the progressive government during the 1980s, following the victory of the Sandinista Revolution, as well as after 2007, when the Sandinistas came back to power. In October of 2020, the U.S. government sanctioned Dr. Oquist, claiming that he was helping to "undermine democracy." As a dedicated environmentalist, Dr. Oquist refused to back the adoption of the Paris Agreement. He argued that the deal did not go far enough to cut global emissions and protect exploited countries from climate devastation. Sadly, Dr. Oquist passed away on April 11, 2021. He remains a hero to many in Nicaragua. Ramiro Funez, Assistant Producer of Sojourner Truth, recorded this presentation on March 15, 2021, during his participation in the Sanctions Kill & Friends of the Rural Workers Association Delegation to Nicaragua. This was Dr. Oquist's last public speech.

The Somoza family dictatorship ruled Nicaragua from 1937 until 1979, when the Sandinista National Liberation Front liberated the country from their rule.

Joe Brooks, the former president of the Emergency Land Fund, a group founded in 1972 to fight the problem of dispossession, estimated that about 6 million acres was lost by Black farmers between 1950 to 1969 alone. This represents an average of 820 acres a day, an area the size of New Yorks Central Park wiped out every day. Black-owned cotton farms in the U.S. South have almost completely disappeared, withering away from 87,000 to just over 3,000 in the 1960s alone. Furthermore, the racial disparity in farm acreage dramatically increased in Mississippi from 1950 to 1964, when Black farmers lost almost 800,000 acres of land, according to the Census of Agriculture. This land loss is also a financial loss, estimated to be around $3.7 billion to $6.6 billion in todays dollars. Today, only 1.3 percent of U.S. farmers, or about 45,000, are Black, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Back in 2010, the National Black Farmers Association held a demonstration in Washington D.C., where they drove their tractors around Capitol Hill to demand justice. A similar tractor protest was mobilized by the National Black Farmers Association in 2002. In 2020, under Trumps regime and during the height of the COVID-19 virus, only 0.1 percent of pandemic relief funding to help U.S. farmers during the Trump administration went to Black farmers, according to The Washington Post. Black farmers received only $20.8 million of the nearly $26 billion of payments made in two rounds of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program announced last year. Fast forward to 2021, under the presidency of President Joe Biden. A coalition of over 25 grassroots organizations have filed an amicus brief asking a federal court in Wisconsin to allow the distribution of $4 billion in loan forgiveness set aside by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, known as the USDA. The amicus brief speaks out against decades of injustice, systemic racism and admitted discriminatory behavior by the federal government. The assistance package was part of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act (known as ARPA) signed into law by Biden back in March. However, on June 10, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin issued a temporary restraining order, stopping relief to over 17,000 Black, Indigenous and other farmers of color. Furthermore, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida issued a preliminary injunction to further delay the relief to Black and Indigenous farmers provided by Congress in the ARPA. This decision puts them in severe financial peril, taking them off their lands and inhibiting their centuries-long struggle for equity in agriculture. Over 200 groups have signed a statement in support of immediately distributing the relief, pointing out that this landmark piece of legislation is desperately needed.

All members of the Republican Party in the Senate voted against opening debate on the bill, thus killing the legislation.

All members of the Republican Party in the Senate voted against opening debate on the bill, thus killing the legislation. Is there a way forward for those who defend protecting voter rights?

She is currently the President & Founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition. Excitement across the country builds as millions of families across the United States will begin receiving monthly child tax credit payments for as high as $300 per child, if they are under 6 years old, $250 per child if they are between 6 and 17 years old. Payments are also available for those whose income is generally too low to pay taxes. Many are hailing this as breakthrough legislation, attacking child poverty on a level not seen since the New Deal. But it is not yet permanent and members of Congress are working on legislation to make sure that Child Tax Credit continues after its one-year mandate as part of the Biden-Harris American Rescue Plan.

William Barber, joint coordinator of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, along with the Rev. Jesse Jackson and other religious leaders, were arrested during civil disobedience. Their cause? The right to vote. On Tuesday, June 22, the Republican Party blocked opening debate on the For the People Act, a key voting rights bill put forward by the Democrats. All members of the Republican Party in the Senate voted against opening debate on the bill, thus killing the legislation. Is there a way forward for those who defend protecting voter rights? What next steps will the movement for the right to vote take next? Our guest is Barbara Arnwine, a veteran civil rights and human rights leader and advocate. She is currently the President & Founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition. Excitement across the country builds as millions of families across the United States will begin receiving monthly child tax credit payments for as high as $300 per child, if they are under 6 years old, $250 per child if they are between 6 and 17 years old. Payments are also available for those whose income is generally too low to pay taxes. Many are hailing this as breakthrough legislation, attacking child poverty on a level not seen since the New Deal. But it is not yet permanent and members of Congress are working on legislation to make sure that Child Tax Credit continues after its one-year mandate as part of the Biden-Harris American Rescue Plan. Today, we hear a presentation delivered by Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, a Democrat of Connecticut, to an audience of income rights campaigners. For our weekly Earth Watch, we speak with Jason Davidson, a Senior Food and Agriculture Campaigner at Friends of the Earth, supporting the Bee Action Campaign.

On Monday, June 21, thousands of poor people, low-wage workers, campaigners and faith leaders from across the United States gathered online for a mass assembly organized by the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. The assembly, which simultaneously featured a socially-distanced rally in North Carolina, called for the realization of the Third Reconstruction. The Third Reconstruction draws from the transformational history of the First Reconstruction following the U.S. Civil War and the Second Reconstruction of the civil rights movement of the 20th century. The Poor Peoples Campaign describes the Third Reconstruction as a revival of the country's constitutional commitment to establish justice, provide for the general welfare, end decades of austerity, and recognize that policies that center the country's 140 million poor are also good economic policies that can heal and transform the nation. During today's program, you will hear more speeches, testimony and music from the historic event, which was led by Poor Peoples Campaign co-chairs Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis and Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II. Today on Sojourner Truth, Part 2 of our Poor Peop… Today on Sojourner Truth, Part 2 of our Poor People's Campaign on the Third Reconstruction.

Members of Congress have introduced a non-partisan resolution entitled, A Third Reconstruction: It's Time to Fully Address Poverty and Low Wages from the Bottom Up. Inspired by decades of fierce campaigning, the congressional resolution for a Third Reconstruction reflects a progressive vision for a fundamental restructuring of society. The resolution points out that in order to build a true Third Reconstruction, U.S. society must deal with the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation and the denial of health care, militarism and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism that blames the poor instead of the systems that cause poverty. Furthermore, the assembly kicked off a one-year campaign dedicated to building a mass Moral March on Washington and Poor Peoples & Low-Wage Workers Assembly on June 18, 2022. The hybrid online and in-person mass assembly included over 40 state coordinating committees, over 200 organizing partners, and thousands of faith leaders.

The assembly, which simultaneously featured a socially-distanced rally in North Carolina, called for the realization of the Third Reconstruction. The Third Reconstruction draws from the transformational history of the First Reconstruction following the U.S. Civil War and the Second Reconstruction of the civil rights movement of the 20th century. The Poor Peoples Campaign describes the Third Reconstruction as a revival of the country's constitutional commitment to establish justice, provide for the general welfare, end decades of austerity, and recognize that policies that center the country's 140 million poor are also good economic policies that can heal and transform the nation. Members of Congress have introduced a non-partisan resolution entitled, A Third Reconstruction: It's Time to Fully Address Poverty and Low Wages from the Bottom Up. Inspired by decades of fierce campaigning, the congressional resolution for a Third Reconstruction reflects a progressive vision for a fundamental restructuring of society. The resolution points out that in order to build a true Third Reconstruction, U.S. society must deal with the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation and the denial of health care, militarism and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism that blames the poor instead of the systems that cause poverty. Furthermore, the assembly kicked off a one-year campaign dedicated to building a mass Moral March on Washington and Poor Peoples & Low-Wage Workers Assembly on June 18, 2022. The hybrid online and in-person mass assembly included over 40 state coordinating committees, over 200 organizing partners, and thousands of faith leaders.

Battles continue in Washington, D.C. around the right to vote. The For the People Act is in some trouble, as well as the George Floyd police reform bill.

Our guests are Danny Glover, Barbara Arnwine and Dr. Robin Kelley. On Tuesday, June 15, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that would make Juneteenth a federal holiday. The bill would lead to Juneteenth becoming the 12th federal holiday. It is expected to easily pass the House, which would send it to President Joe Biden for his signature. The Senate passed the bill under a unanimous consent agreement that expedites the process for considering legislation. It takes just one senators objection to block such agreements. In 1862, former President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which had formally released over 3.5 million enslaved Black people in the Confederacy from the grip of slavery. Close to three years later, on June 19, 1865, Union Army General Gordon Granger proclaimed in Galveston, Texas, that all enslaved Black people would now be free. Thus, after Granger issued the proclamation in Galveston, formerly enslaved people began celebrating June 19 as Juneteenth, Freedom Day. Celebrations of Juneteenth began with local gatherings at houses of worship in Texas. Historically, Juneteenth has been celebrated in Black communities across the United States. It is now recognized as a state holiday or special day of observance in 47 states. Today, 156 years after the first proclamation of Juneteenth, Black people in the United States continue to face major challenges because of systemic racism. These include police killings, the rise of white right-wing militias, threats to the right to vote, inequality in healthcare, mass incarceration, children being removed from families and put in foster care or up for adoption because families are poor, homelessness, the loss of land in the U.S. south, and threats to teaching Black and Brown history in schools.

If so, will it have any impact on the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict? A key vote is coming up this Sunday, on whether to approve a new governing coalition that could mean the end of the regime of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. From what some are calling a civil war within Israel to the recent war between Israel and Palestinians that left 256 Palestinians (including 66 children dead) and in Israel 13 people were killed (including 2 children). Our guest is Phyllis Bennis, who directs the New Internationalism Project at The Institute for Policy Studies, focusing on U.S. Middle East and war policy. She also serves on the board of Jewish Voice for Peace. Her most recent books include Understanding the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict." Even as protesters hit the streets again in Minneapolis, following the killing of yet another Black man, there is a tug of war between the city and those who want to protect what is known as George Floyd Square. The Square is located at the location where Floyd was killed at the hands of police. What's involved? We speak with Marcia Howard, a high school English teacher, caretaker and activist based in Minneapolis.

On Thursday, April 22, Earth Day was marked around the world, as President Joe Biden tried to undo some of the damage to the role of the U.S. in stemming the environmental crisis. But is it too little and too late? How do the tensions between the United States and adversaries China and Russia bear out in efforts to tame environmental devastation? What about frontline communities in the Global North as well as the Global South? Can the climate crisis be halted without the Global North putting up money and resources to assist the Global South? Can the market economy and environmental justice exist simultaneously? Also, the killings by police of Black people continue unabated. Now, in Florida, Texas and other states, they are putting forward a slew of laws that have the effect of criminalizing protests and protesters. This, as the George Floyd Act to address reform in policing stalls in the U.S. Senate. Also, voter suppression bills continue unabated.

As world leaders gather today virtually for a White House climate summit, President Joe Biden has announced plans to slash green house gas emissions in half by 2030. This, as the Biden administration proposes that nations support the Paris Climate Accord, which the U.S. has now rejoined. But is this enough? Environmentalists have longed criticized the Paris Climate Accord for being too modest given the level of devastation of the environment. Many also decry what they call false solutions to the climate crisis. They say capitalism and its market-focused economy are at odds with protecting the planet. For our weekly Earth Watch, our guest is Paula Gioia, a beekeeper and peasant farmer in a community-run agroecological farm in Germany near Berlin. Japan intends to dump more than a million tons of radioactive waste water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean. This follows the 2011 incident, where six atomic power reactors were severely damaged following a 9.0 magnitude earthquake which was followed by a tsunami that damaged the nuclear plant. Our guest is Kevin Kamps, who has served as Radioactive Waste Watchdog at Beyond Nuclear since 2007. Beyond Nuclear advocates for an energy future that is sustainable, benign and democratic. On Thursday, April 22, the funeral of Daunte Wright will be held. Daunte was shot and killed by the police just ten miles from where George Floyd was killed. Since then, there have been two other police killings of Black people that we know about. Our guest is Mic Crenshaw, an anti-racist campaigner raised in Chicago and Minneapolis and now based in Portland, Oregon, where he is the Regional Director of Hip-Hop Congress.

Our guest is Kevin Kamps, who has served as Radioactive Waste Watchdog at Beyond Nuclear since 2007. Beyond Nuclear advocates for an energy future that is sustainable, benign and democratic. On Thursday, April 22, the funeral of Daunte Wright will be held. Daunte was shot and killed by the police just ten miles from where George Floyd was killed. Since then, there have been two other police killings of Black people that we know about. Our guest is Mic Crenshaw, an anti-racist campaigner raised in Chicago and Minneapolis and now based in Portland, Oregon, where he is the Regional Director of Hip-Hop Congress. Lastly, our weekly Earth Minute, presented by Theresa Church of the Global Justice Ecology Project.

As world leaders gather today virtually for a White House climate summit, President Joe Biden has announced plans to slash green house gas emissions in half by 2030. This, as the Biden administration proposes that nations support the Paris Climate Accord, which the U.S. has now rejoined. But is this enough? Environmentalists have longed criticized the Paris Climate Accord for being too modest given the level of devastation of the environment. Many also decry what they call false solutions to the climate crisis. They say capitalism and its market-focused economy are at odds with protecting the planet. For our weekly Earth Watch, our guest is Paula Gioia, a beekeeper and peasant farmer in a community-run agroecological farm in Germany near Berlin.

On Tuesday, April 21, Derek Chauvin, the white Minneapolis Police officer who knelt on George Floyd's neck for more than 9 minutes last year and killed him, was found guilty of all three charges against him. Chauvin was convicted of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. The white police officer who murdered Floyd now faces serious jail time. He could face up to 40 years in prison for the second-degree murder charge, up to 25 years for third-degree murder charge, and up to 10 years for the manslaughter charge. Meanwhile, on Tuesday, April 20, 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant was shot and killed by a Columbus, Ohio police officer. Officers were called just after 4:30 p.m. for what they describe as a disturbance. She was transported to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead shortly after.

On Monday, April 19, unjustly imprisoned Black journalist and human rights campaigner Mumia Abu Jamal underwent serious heart surgery. A few days prior, Mumia was rushed to the hospital following severe chest pains he was experiencing. A day earlier, Mumia's lawyer informed his close supporters that he complained of chest pain while on a walk. From there, he was taken to an undisclosed hospital where it was discovered that his coronary articles were blocked. Mumia already suffered from several pre-existing health conditions. Back in March of this year, he reportedly lost 30 pounds after becoming ill with COVID-19 in the Mahanoy State Correctional Institution. Mumia has also previously been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, diabetes and liver cirrhosis. During his hospitalization last month, Mumia was reportedly shackled to the bed for four days and had wounds all over his body from the shackles that dug into his skin. On Saturday, April 24, Mumia will turn 67 years old. Three days of action demanding the release of Mumia will take place from Friday, April 23 to Saturday, April 25. The days of action had already been planned to mark Mumia's birthday before news of his heart surgery. Starting at the age of 14 in 1968, Abu-Jamal became involved with the Black Panther Party and was a member until October 1970. During that time, he was named Minister of Information for the Black Panther Party. After he finished high school, he later served as president of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists. Mumia Abu Jamal was also active in supporting the MOVE Organization in Philadelphia, which was being harassed and violently attacked by police. While working as a part-time reporter at WDAS in Philly, Mumia worked two nights a week as a taxicab driver to supplement his income. On December 9, 1981, Police Department officer Daniel Faulkner conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle belonging to and driven by William, Mumia's younger brother. Mumia's brother was attacked and harassed by Faulker, who was shot by an unidentified person. Although evidence has come forward about who the killer might be. Mumia was also shot in the incident and he was beat pretty severely by several officers before he was taken to the hospital. Our guests are Pam Africa and Linn Washington Jr. Pam Africa is the head of International Concerned Friends and Family of Mumia Abu-Jamal, the Philadelphia-based organization at the center of the international movement seeking Abu-Jamal's release.

The relationship between U.S. and Russia. As Biden slaps new sanctions on Russia, will this move fan the flames of tension between the two super powers? Meanwhile, as Biden meets with the Prime Minister of Japan, the power of China overshadows the region. China's economic growth has leaped to 18.3 percent. Elections in Latin America. Is the previous decade's sweep to the left over?

Our guests are Laura Carlsen, Jackie Goldberg and Dr. Gerald Horne. Amidst 18 people killed in mass shootings in the United States in just the past month, President Joe Biden takes on the pro-gun lobby, announcing new but limited measures on gun control and has named David Chipman to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Will this move widen the urban-rural divide when it comes to the right to own guns? What populations have stepped up their gun purchases? A medical doctor who is an expert on breathing shredded the defense of Derek Chauvin, who is on trial for the murder of George Floyd. In graphic testimony, Dr. Martin Tobin made it clear that Floyd did not die of a drug overdose, which Chauvin's lawyers are claiming. Instead, Dr. Tobin said, he died from a lack of oxygen, caused from Chauvin's actions in restraining Floyd. Thus far, the vote to unionize Amazon workers seems to be going in the direction against unionization. Will this hold amidst votes being challenged? What are the wider implications? The International Criminal Court has ruled that Israeli actions against Palestinian protesters in Gaza can be investigated. Also, they said, there were crimes on both sides. Benjamin Netanyahu has said they will not recognize the International Criminal Court ruling. This, as Biden reinstates aid to Palestinians that was cut by Donald Trump, but is standing with Netanyahu on the position against the Court.

Long time residents are being forced out by high housing costs and are being replaced by higher-income residents. That battle is playing itself out in the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn, New York City, where a local supermarket favored by residents is being evicted. Our guest is Alicia Boyd with the Movement To Protect The People. Her organization works to give people back their voices and their power in their community.

Yet another massacre in Haiti, orchestrated by a group that many say has ties to the U.S.-backed government of Jovenel Moise. Protesters say Moise is serving illegally as Haiti's President. Will this be enough to get the Biden administration to stop backing the government of Haiti? Our guest is Pierre Labossiere, one of the most respected progressive voices on Haitian politics.

Through the Haiti Action Committee, an organization that he co-founded, Labossiere has tirelessly championed grassroots efforts to improve education, bring about social justice, and develop a stable democracy for the people of his native country.

Long time residents are being forced out by high housing costs and are being replaced by higher-income residents.

Last week, witnesses for the prosecution made emotional testimony. This week, prosecution witnesses are taking a closer look at police policies and the use of force. Some say prosecution witnesses this week have given an opening for Chauvin's defense. We speak with Karissa Lewis, the National Field Director for the Movement for Black Lives, a coalition of more than 50 groups representing the interests of Black communities across the United States. Also, the crisis in Yemen. On Tuesday, April 6, the Friends Committee on National Legislation, Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation, Demand Progress, and Just Foreign Policy sent a letter to President Joe Biden, calling for an end to the Saudi blockade of Yemen. According to the UN, 400,000 children under the age of 5 could perish from hunger this year without urgent action. In the U.S., a group of activists are participating in a hunger strike to stop U.S. backing of Saudi Arabia in Yemen. Our guest is Iman Saleh, a member of the Yemeni Liberation Movement, which educates and mobilizes Yemenis and all communities for an end to the war on Yemen. The Biden administration is making a major push to encourage people of color to be vaccinated. This, as cases are once again on the rise in certain states.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the U.S. government has been distributing checks to people in order to stop the economy from collapsing. However, it still refuses to consider providing an income for family caregivers, whose work is generally depended on and has increased as a result of the pandemic. Family unwaged caregivers " most of whom are women, including mothers and grandmothers, and the most impoverished women on welfare " provide care for relatives, children, the elderly and persons with disabilities. Amid this crisis, they are expected to pick up the slack without any acknowledgement of the value or resources for their work. The International Labor Office has estimated that women do two-thirds of the world's work for five percent of the income. And according to a report released by Oxfam in January 2020, women around the world perform 12.5 billion hours of unpaid labor every day. Overall, the work of unwaged caregivers has been estimated to contribute at least $11 trillion to the global economy, according to a Human Development Report. Meanwhile, across the United States, over two million women are jailed every year, according to the Prison Policy Initiative. At least 80 percent of the women who go to jail annually are mothers, including nearly 150,000 women who are pregnant when they are admitted. Many of these women are poor and have been forced into drug abuse and criminal activity because of their unjust circumstances. As a result, oftentimes their children are forced into foster care and adoption, where they also face criminalization and abuse. Because of systemic poverty, caregivers, mothers and children are not only unvalued, but they are also forcibly separated and criminalized. Today, we bring you audio from a recent Truth Commission webinar entitled, Poverty in All its Forms is Violence: Caregivers Victimized by Poverty Speak Out! During today's program, you will hear from a multi-racial panel of mothers and other caregivers sharing their experiences of living in poverty. These include mothers who have had their children removed by child welfare not because of abuse, but because their families are impoverished or because their mothers were victims of domestic violence. Furthermore, you will hear insight as to how all of this is connected to poverty and systemic racism, the war economy, destruction of the environment and the violence and oppression of the market-focused economy. Lastly, our speakers discuss how they have come together with others to fight back in defense of other caregivers.

Chauvin's murder trial began on March 8, 2021, with opening statements beginning on Monday, March 29. This has become one of the most closely watched court cases in decades. Floyd, a Black father of three and a grandfather of two, was killed during an arrest after a store clerk claimed he used a counterfeit $20 bill. Chauvin, one of the four police officers who arrived on the scene, handcuffed him and slammed him face-down on the street. Three other officers - Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng - restrained Floyd and another prevented passersby from defending Floyd. They have also been charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter. Chauvin proceeded to kneel on Floyd's neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds, preventing him from breathing. As he was pinned under Chauvin's knee, Floyd repeatedly cried out for help and said that he couldn't breathe. During the final two minutes of him being pinned down, Floyd was motionless and had no pulse. The Minneapolis police took no immediate action to directly treat him and Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd's neck until medics arrived. Following Floyd's murder, Chauvin was fired and charged with second-degree murder. In the following weeks, protests against systemic racism and in solidarity with Black lives erupted in cities across the United States and around the world. Protests began in Minneapolis, but quickly spread to over 2,000 cities and towns in over 60 countries, according to The Guardian. Some polls have estimated that as many as 26 million people participated in the demonstrations. Our guests are Mic Crenshaw, Kieran Knutson and Nana Gyamfi. Mic Crenshaw was born and raised in Chicago and Minneapolis and currently resides in Portland, Oregon. Crenshaw is an independent hip hop artist, respected emcee, poet, educator and activist. Crenshaw is the Lead U.S. Organizer for the Afrikan HipHop Caravan and uses Cultural Activism as a means to develop international solidarity related to Human Rights and Justice through Hip Hop and Popular Education.

Chauvin's murder trial began on March 8, 2021, with opening statements beginning on Monday, March 29. This has become one of the most closely watched court cases in decades. Floyd, a Black father of three and a grandfather of two, was killed during an arrest after a store clerk claimed he used a counterfeit $20 bill. Chauvin, one of the four police officers who arrived on the scene, handcuffed him and slammed him face-down on the street. Three other officers - Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng - restrained Floyd and another prevented passersby from defending Floyd. They have also been charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter. Chauvin proceeded to kneel on Floyd's neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds, preventing him from breathing. As he was pinned under Chauvin's knee, Floyd repeatedly cried out for help and said that he couldn't breathe. During the final two minutes of him being pinned down, Floyd was motionless and had no pulse. The Minneapolis police took no immediate action to directly treat him and Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd's neck until medics arrived. Following Floyd's murder, Chauvin was fired and charged with second-degree murder. In the following weeks, protests against systemic racism and in solidarity with Black lives erupted in cities across the United States and around the world. Protests began in Minneapolis, but quickly spread to over 2,000 cities and towns in over 60 countries, according to The Guardian.

In March of 2020, when COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, former White House occupant Donald Trump attempted to link the deadly virus to the people of China. He frequently referred to it as the "China Virus" and made other racist remarks about the disease, making it seem as if they were somehow responsible for it. Now, one year later, even though Trump is no longer in the White House, his words have had tremendous consequences. New data has revealed that over the past year, the number of hate incidents against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI peoples) is greater than previously reported. The data released by Stop AAPI Hate on Tuesday, March 16, revealed nearly 3,800 incidents were reported over the course of roughly a year during the pandemic. This, as a series of mass shootings occurred at three spas or massage parlors in the metropolitan area of Atlanta, Georgia, on March 16. Our guests are Arlene Inouye and Dr. Karen Umemoto. For our weekly Earth Watch, we speak with Jennifer Wickham about the latest on First Nations people leading a struggle to defend their environment against the coastal gas link pipeline. Jen is a member of Cas Yikh (Grizzly Bear House) in the Gidimten (Bear/Wolf) Clan of the Wetsuweten people. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Humanities from the University of Victoria with a major in English and a minor in Indigenous Studies, as well as a Bachelor of Education from the University of Northern British Columbia, focusing on secondary years. She is currently working on a feature-length documentary film about Witsuwiten sovereignty as a creative producer. She has broad experience working as an educator, poet, writer, a mental health advocate, and as a community support worker. Jen is currently living in Gidimten yintah in what is now known as northern British Columbia. She loves to bead and spend time with family. She dreams of freedom for her people and bright shiny futures for all the young people. Lastly, our weekly Earth Minute presented by Theresa Church of the Global Justice Ecology Project.

In March of 2020, when COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, former White House occupant Donald Trump attempted to link the deadly virus to the people of China. He frequently referred to it as the "China Virus" and made other racist remarks about the disease, making it seem as if they were somehow responsible for it. Now, one year later, even though Trump is no longer in the White House, his words have had tremendous consequences. New data has revealed that over the past year, the number of hate incidents against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI peoples) is greater than previously reported. The data released by Stop AAPI Hate on Tuesday, March 16, revealed nearly 3,800 incidents were reported over the course of roughly a year during the pandemic. This, as a series of mass shootings occurred at three spas or massage parlors in the metropolitan area of Atlanta, Georgia, on March 16. Our guests are Arlene Inouye and Dr. Karen Umemoto. For our weekly Earth Watch, we speak with Jennifer Wickham about the latest on First Nations people leading a struggle to defend their environment against the coastal gas link pipeline. Jen is a member of Cas Yikh (Grizzly Bear House) in the Gidimten (Bear/Wolf) Clan of the Wetsuweten people. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Humanities from the University of Victoria with a major in English and a minor in Indigenous Studies, as well as a Bachelor of Education from the University of Northern British Columbia, focusing on secondary years. She is currently working on a feature-length documentary film about Witsuwiten sovereignty as a creative producer. She has broad experience working as an educator, poet, writer, a mental health advocate, and as a community support worker. Jen is currently living in Gidimten yintah in what is now known as northern British Columbia. She loves to bead and spend time with family.

In 1979, the people of Nicaragua overthrew the U.S.-backed dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza. The Somoza family dictatorship ruled Nicaragua from 1937 until 1979, when the Sandinista National Liberation Front liberated the country from their rule. Upon taking power, the Sandinistas vowed to free their country from the grip of U.S. hegemony and prioritize the needs of poor people ahead of foreign corporations. Since then, the people of Nicaragua have faced constant attacks from war hawks in Washington. This, in an effort to topple the democratically-elected Sandinista government and impose a pro-U.S. government. During the 1980s, the U.S. armed and trained counter-revolutionary forces, known as the contras, in neighboring Honduras. Not only did the contras kill supporters of the Sandinistas and carry out terrorist attacks in Nicaragua. They also helped to smuggle drugs from South America into the United States, destroying Black and Brown communities at home. Although the Sandinistas lost an election in 1990 that temporarily removed them from power, they eventually came back in 2006 after another democratic election. Since 2006, the United States has continued to attempt to destabilize and overthrow the Sandinista government. This time, however, instead of using brute force and armed drug gangs, they are using soft power and Western-aligned organizations that claim to promote human rights. Millions of U.S. government and corporate dollars are spent on three Nicaraguan organizations, and Amnesty International and other global organizations produce unbalanced and unsubstantiated reports which malign Nicaragua. These reports portray Nicaragua as a country that needs to be saved from alleged human rights abuses committed by the government. However, as you will see, many of these reports are far from the truth and have more sinister intentions. Today on Sojourner Truth, we bring you audio from a recent webinar entitled, How U.S. Unconventional Warfare in Nicaragua Utilizes Human Rights Organizations. The webinar, hosted by the Alliance for Global Justice, examines the role played by international and local human rights organizations within U.S.-supported destabilization efforts in Nicaragua. During todays program, you will hear presentations delivered by Camilo Mejia and John Perry. Camilo Mejia is a Nicaraguan analyst and writer residing in the U.S. who is a former Amnesty International prisoner of conscience. John Perry is a long-time investigator, writer and resident of Nicaragua.

She's the author of many books, including The Shock Doctrine, This Changes Everything, and On Fire; The Burning Case for a Green New Deal. She's co-founder of the climate justice organization, The Leap. Arundhati Roy is a world renowned writer and global justice activist. The New York Times calls her India's most impassioned critic of globalization and American influence. She's the author of the novels the God of Small Things for which she received the Book Arppise, and The Ministries of Utmost Happiness. A collection of her essays My Seditious Heart is published by Haymarket. Arundhati Roy spoke from New Dehli, Naomi Klein, from New Jersey. Naomi and Arundhati spoke about The Corona Virus, climate change, and The Green New Deal. What will tomorrow bring in the age of COVID-19? There is so much uncertainty. Arundhati Roy sees an opportunity. She writes, Whatever it is, coronavirus has made the mighty kneel and brought the world to a halt. And in the midst of this terrible despair, it offers us a chance to rethink the doomsday machine we have built for ourselves. Nothing could be worse than a return to normality. Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next. We can choose to walk through it, dragging the carcasses of our prejudice and hatred, our avarice, our data banks and dead ideas, our dead rivers and smoky skies behind us. Or we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world. And ready to fight for it.

Our panelists are Jackie Goldberg, Laura Carlsen and Dr. Gerald Horne. Today, we discuss the stimulus package, voter suppression, Biden-Harris foreign policy, and more. On Thursday, March 11, U.S. President Joe Biden signed a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package into law, implementing one of the largest stimulus measures in U.S. history. The bill, known as the American Rescue Package, provides a third round of one-time stimulus payments up to $1,400 for most people in the United States. The stimulus package also extends additional unemployment support to millions still out of work while including an overhaul and expansion of the Child Tax Credit. Across the United States, following the November 2020 election, there has been a wave of new proposals aimed at restricting voting, which many are describing as forms of voter suppression. In at least 43 states, GOP lawmakers have proposed at least 250 laws that would limit mail, early in-person and Election Day voting. These include stricter ID requirements, limited hours and narrower eligibility to vote absentee. This follows Donald Trumps unsubstantiated claims of election fraud, claiming that the results of the 2020 election were rigged against him. Informal talks between the U.S. and Iran over the return to the nuclear deal could begin in the coming weeks, according to The New York Times. Trump withdrew from the deal in 2018 and imposed harsh sanctions on Iran. Biden's administration said it will return to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (known as the JCPOA) if Iran first returns to compliance. Iran, however, points out that it has been in compliance and insists the U.S. remove sanctions before it returns to the deals terms. Israel has bombed at least a dozen ships en route to Syria during the past two years, most of which have been carrying Iranian oil, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The NWRO led the way for access to welfare benefits for thousands of single mothers who were previously denied. In 1965, Johnnie Tillmon of Watts, California, and President of the NWRO said: "If I were President, I'd start paying women a living wage for doing the work we are already doing child raising and housekeeping. And the welfare crisis will be over. Just like that. Housewives would be getting wages, too." The NWRO led a women's movement that pressed for the right to welfare and for increased money for impoverished caregivers, who were referred to as welfare mothers. They protested across the nation including against the Vietnam war. The NWRO was central in the organizing and success of the first Poor People's Campaign, which was called by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. months before his assassination. The NWRO experienced tremendous growth and popularity, more than doubling in membership from 10,000 in 1968 to 22,000 in 1969. Some say the organization had as many as 100,000 members by 1969. They believed the state had a responsibility to provide for all of its citizens in need. In 1987, the National Welfare Rights Union (NWRU) picked up the torch and continued the work of the NWRO, pursuing social justice for all members of society, especially those who have been excluded, like women and mothers. Marian Kramer and other leading members of the NWRU continue to mobilize poor and low-income people, public assistance recipients, caregivers, and the unemployed. On the other side of the Atlantic in the UK, aware of the importance of the welfare rights movement, Selma James founded the Wages for Housework Campaign in 1972. She was the first to put forward the demand for wages for housework at the third National Women's Liberation Conference in Manchester, England. For decades, the International Wages for Housework Campaign has organized with unwaged workers in the home (such as mothers, housewives, and domestic workers denied pay), and unwaged subsistence farmers and workers on the land and in the community. On March 8, 2000, at the request of Irish women who were organizing a strike of women in Ireland the Wages for Housework Campaign called for a Global Women's Strike, demanding payment for all caring work. Women from more than 60 countries around the world participated in the protest and continue to be active today. Today, Global Women's Strike has joined with the Green New Deal for Europe and has launched a global campaign for a Care Income Now! to be paid to those who are caring for people and/or the environment.

Now, Biden has announced that he is revoking a key permit for the pipeline. The massive protests at Standing Rock against the pipeline brought national and international attention to the issue, and Biden's announcement is seen as a victory. But, is Biden's announcement enough? What more is needed? Also, reaction to Biden's other environmental executive orders and plans. Also, the latest on the second impeachment of Donald Trump, as Republicans indicate they will not convict him. They also make the claim that the trial is "unconstitutional." Are there any options left for Democrats to hold Trump accountable for the January 6 invasion of the U.S. Capitol?

Our guest is Ricardo Vaz, is a writer and editor at Venezuela Analysis, an independent website produced by individuals who are dedicated to disseminating news and analysis about the current political situation in Venezuela. Ricardo is based in Venezuela. Nana Gyamfi joins us to discuss what's going on with Black immigrants in the United States and deportations. Across the nation of Mexico, thousands of African and African-descended immigrants from Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Gabon, The Congo, Haiti, and elsewhere, are stranded as they are being denied entry to the United States. Many of them are mothers, children and young men, and they often face violence from criminal groups exploiting their vulnerable situations. Also, a report on the International Commission of Inquiry on Systemic Racist Police Violence against People of African Descent in the United States. Nana Gyamfi is an attorney, consultant, educator, activist, the Executive Director of Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI), and the President of the National Conference of Black Lawyers. Also, we remember Rudy Salas, founding member of the Chicano R&B band Tierra, who passed away on December 29, 2020. We speak with his brother, Steve Salas, who co-founded Tierra along with Rudy.

The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which was adopted in 2017, prohibits countries from producing, testing, acquiring, possessing or stockpiling nuclear weapons. The Treaty also outlaws transferring weapons and forbids countries from permitting any nuclear explosive device to be stationed, installed or deployed within their borders. It sets the goal of achieving a nuclear-weapon-free world, saying it would serve both national and collective security interests. Any use of nuclear weapons, it adds, would be contrary to the rules of international law for armed conflict. The Treaty is certainly groundbreaking. However, the United States and other major nuclear powers have not signed it. Some are protesting in the U.S. to press the Biden administration to sign the treaty. Our guest is Alice Slater, who serves on the Board of World Beyond War, is the UN NGO Representative of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation and a member of the Global Council of Abolition 2000.

Indigenous nations in the United States hard-hit by COVID-19 are alarmed by the impact on their nations in terms of loss of life and also the threat to their culture, including maintaining their traditional languages. Our guest is Ethel Branch, the former Attorney General for Navajo Nation and founder of the Navajo and Hopi Families COVID-19 relief fund. Also, on Tuesday, January 26, the people of India celebrate Republic Day. The holiday honors the date on which the Constitution of India came into effect on January 26, 1950, formally turning India into an independent republic. This was a major development for the people of India, who had suffered from hundreds of years of colonization under the British. Today, 71 years later, the people of India are still fighting for true freedom. Today, on the 71st anniversary of Republic Day, tens of thousands of protesting farmers plan to drive into India's capital city of Delhi on tractors. Many of them are women, who account for 70 percent of agricultural work, but are paid half as much as men. The farmers are protesting against agriculture reform laws passed by Parliament last September 2020. They are also demanding pay equity for women farmers and all agricultural workers.

The theme of the inauguration ceremony was America United, at a time when the United States remains more divided and weakened by crises after four years of Donald Trump. From his mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic to his support for the violent Capitol insurrection, this country remains at an all-time low. All of this cannot be placed on the feet of Donald Trump, but also his supporters, including elected officials in Congress. Still, Biden and Harris expressed optimism during their inaugurations on Wednesday, pledging to build back better. During his speech, Biden said: America has to be better than this. He also listed the policy approaches that he believes would lead to healing the country. They include addressing COVID-19, racial justice, climate change and domestic extremism, including white supremacy. Biden is the first president to address white supremacy in an inaugural address, according to NPR. During her speech, Vice President Harris said: We are undaunted in our belief that we shall overcome, that we will rise up. Within the United States and around the world, social, cultural and political leaders expressed optimism at the new page being turned in U.S. history. Following the inauguration ceremony, Biden signed 15 executive orders and two executive actions. Several executive actions will make changes to the U.S. response to COVID-19 and try to ease some of the financial strain on people because of the pandemic. Other executive actions directly target and undo Trump's actions on the environment, immigration, the U.S. census, and regulatory changes.

All of this cannot be placed on the feet of Donald Trump, but also his supporters, including elected officials in Congress. Still, Biden and Harris expressed optimism during their inaugurations on Wednesday, pledging to build back better. During his speech, Biden said: America has to be better than this. He also listed the policy approaches that he believes would lead to healing the country. They include addressing COVID-19, racial justice, climate change and domestic extremism, including white supremacy. Biden is the first president to address white supremacy in an inaugural address, according to NPR. During her speech, Vice President Harris said: We are undaunted in our belief that we shall overcome, that we will rise up. Within the United States and around the world, social, cultural and political leaders expressed optimism at the new page being turned in U.S. history. Following the inauguration ceremony, Biden signed 15 executive orders and two executive actions. Several executive actions will make changes to the U.S. response to COVID-19 and try to ease some of the financial strain on people because of the pandemic. Other executive actions directly target and undo Trump's actions on the environment, immigration, the U.S. census, and regulatory changes.
