GERRYMANDERING FIGHT BACK & RIGHT-WING TERRORWe start our Grassroots Emergency Election Protection Zoom #82 by celebrating a major victory for solar energy in California, and with Arizona’s GOP-led refusal to gut the electoral process there.
Though sane Republicans are an endangered species, there seem to be enough in some states to fight for our democracy.
We’re then joined by the great JENNIFER ROBERTS of the Carter Center to discuss serious push-back against partisan gerrymandering.
Unfortunately, we receive news during the zoom that the US Supreme Court has refused to uphold an Alabama lower court decision throwing out that state's horrific partisan re-districting. But it’s a provisional ruling, so there’s hope.
We’re then led by the great JOEL SEGAL in an in-depth discussion of how to fight back against the Trump/Bannon fascist coup being staged now in the US.
We’re also joined by HAL GINSBERG of Our Revolution, TATANKA BRICCA from the Romero Institute, MIKE HERSH from Progressive Democrats of America and many powerful others.
With comments from our numerous great participants, we face the reality of the desperate need for a national grassroots campaign to save what’s left of our democracy.
The stakes could not be higher. Be part of the solution!!!!

NUKES COLLAPSING IN EUROPE WHILE RENEWABLES RISE EVERYWHERE
We’re joined by the great LINDA PENCE GUNTER from Beyond Nuclear to celebrate the rapid demise of atomic power in Germany.
On December 31, 2021, Germany shut three of its remaining six reactors; the last three will shut December 31, 2022.
This means the world’s fourth-largest economy will be totally nuke free.
Meanwhile serious cracks in at least four French reactors threaten to shut that nation’s electricity supply in the midst of a very cold winter.
Worldwide as the epic failure of atomic power worsens, we see a massive rise in renewables.
From California the great TATONKA BRICCA tells us of the Green movement to completely convert the Golden State to 100% renewables.
But the fossil/nuclear industry is doing all it can to shut the spread of rooftop solar, which employs upwards of 50,000 and is providing cheap, safe, clean reliable energy statewide.
Tatonka also updates us on the critical move to make California a true democracy with protected election boards and transparent redistricting.
Don’t miss this critical discussion of true democracy in both energy and the ballot box.

CRACKS IN FRENCH NUKES & ATTACKS ON SOLAR POWER
We’re joined by the great LINDA SEELEY of the legendary San Luis Obispo MOTHERS FOR PEACE who fills us in on the latest battles at Diablo Canyon.
The two California nukes are scheduled to shut in 2024 and 2025, but in a fit of major insanity the Biden Administration is now lobbying to keep them open.
Linda updates us on the endless and worsening problems facing these two incredibly dangerous nukes.
RON LEONARD then fills us in on all the latest developments in the solar industry and the fossil/nuke attempts to kill it.
Solar taxes and other scams are being thrown at the solar industry by utility companies fearful of losing their monopolies.
Slave labor and other issues have seeped in from China.
But prices continue to drop and the industry seems to be holding its own….for now!

We hear from Europe about major mass mobilizations against the killing of a young boy in Greece.
