HE FEDS HAVE ATTACKED INDEPENDENT CAMPAIGNS; THE RABBI CELEBRATES THE EARTH
At GREEGREE #125 Dr. Jill Stein, the Green Party’s 2016 Presidential candidate, schools us in how the Federal Elections Commission protects America’s duopoly.
Stein is being PERSONALLY sued by the FEC for an independent campaign dating to seven years ago. It’s an astounding story of fascism in action with serious implications for grassroots campaigns going forward.
RAY MCCLENDON of the Georgia NAACP and co-convenor JOEL SEGAL confirm the need to transform how we connect with grassroots donors and volunteers to challenge the duopoly’s unyielding power.
“We need publicly financed elections, period,” says Segal.
With Stein’s terrible experience as background, the FEC must be changed to a non-partisan operation. “It’s all about the oligarchy,” says Stein.
TATANKA BRICCA tells us about Exxon now pouring trillions of dollars into Swiss “non-profits” to hide their money while promoting fossil/nuclear fuels which destroy the Earth.
We then hear from CAROLINA AMPUDIA about the fight for progressive policies within the Florida Democratic Party.
WENDI LEDERMAN tells us about the fight over privatization of water in the Sunshine State.
LORENZO CANIZARES updates us on the situation in Peru.
LINDA SEELEY from the San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace tells us of the horrendous licensing scams being pulled at the Diablo Canyon atomic reactors.
RABBI ART WASKOW then takes us into a brilliant, fascinating tour of the destruction of Atlanta’s forest land along with the horrific murder of a young eco-activist with no less than 13 bullets.
Art is a long-standing activist based in Philadelphia who has joined radical Judaism with ecological protection. This broadcast is happening on the Jewish holiday, “the New Year of Trees...a fount of pleasure, of joy…” and much more.
His lifelong career has moved thousands of activists around the world, both within and outside the Jewish community, working for peace, social justice, protection of the Earth, an end to racism and anti-semitism and much more.
Art’s visit is punctuated with great comments by RON LEONARD, MYLA RESON and many more.
This is a fantastic, uniquely wonderful gathering. Don’t miss it!!!
