DO THE CORPORATE DEMS PREFER TRUMP TO BERNIE?

VOTER RIGHTS & THE TRUMP ASSAULT ON DEMOCRACY

Nothing cuts to the core of the 2020 election more sharply than the Trump Party attack on the right to vote.

Legendary activist BARBARA ARNWINE and voting rights expert STEVE ROSENFELD inform us on the GOP's latest attempts to suppress the public franchise. 

Barbara discusses the infamous Texas attack on Crystal Mason, an African-American ex-felon facing stiff prison sentences from her attempt to vote.  As Barbara shows, the prosecution is clearly designed to intimidate voters.

Much more like it, she says, is being directed all over the country. 

Steve follows up with discussions of new voting machine technologies and much more.  From state to gerrymandered state, he says, the questions surrounding how we will cast ballots and have them counted grow ever more fierce. 

If you’re concerned about where our democracy is headed in 2020, this in-depth exploration of our crumbling democracy from two world-class experts is not to be missed. 

BREXIT & PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS OF AMERICA

We’re joined in Solartopia by the great ALAN MINSKY, Executive Director of PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS OF AMERICA and a long-time force at the Pacifica Radio Network.

A deeply committed expert on British politics, Alan dissects the tragic catastrophe of Britain’s Brexit vote and the devastating crash of the “Corbyn Campaign” within the British Labor movement.

Deeply moved, Alan explains the complex forces that have reshaped British politics and portend extremely difficult times ahead.

He also tells of the great work being done by PDA and the Sandernista movement for social democracy and ecological sanity here in the United States. 

PDA has some 50,000 affiliate activists to go with the 5 million affiliated with OUR REVOLUTION, the grassroots uprising ignited by Bernie Sanders.

On the American scene today, there’s no one more knowledgeable, committed or effective than Alan Minsky.  Don’t miss this moving, deeply informative visit with him.

Medical Debt and Mass Murder

We talk first with the great Jerry Ashton about his astonishing campaign to wipe out the medical bills of those in collection.

Abolishmedicaldebt.org has so far freed a half-million families from more than a billion dollars in financial liabilities.  Join us to find out how.

We then hear from Jevin Lamar who was raised impoverished and unloved in Dayton, Ohio.  His amazing story is both heartbreaking and uplifting. So is the rap song he wrote and sings about his cousin, a father of four gunned down in Dayton’s horrific mass shooting last august.

For pure pride and pathos don’t miss this show.
