Electorate's Push to Raise the Minimum Wage
Nov. 15, 2014, 10:35 a.m.
Four for Four...Even in "Red States" the Electorate s Push to Raise the Minimum Wage
Peter Davis, campaign activist for Time for a Raise campaign, a project of Ralph Nader's Center for the Study of Responsive Law
and
Paco Fabian , with the Good Jobs Nation an organization of low-wage workers employed by government contractors who are joining together to urge President Obama to use Executive Orders to give them a living wage and a voice on the job. The Good Jobs Nation campaign is
supported by a coalition of national faith and advocacy organizations, including the NAACP, Demos, Interfaith Worker Justice, Change to Win.
After last week s election disaster, there s some good news, in the minimum wage wins through ballot initiatives are sending a clear message: Americans across the political spectrum want to raise the minimum wage. Now the electorate along with congressional progressives and allies are demanding more Presidential action to help low-wage workers and boost the economy. Buoying this message in support of a rise in the minimum wage Peter Davis and Ralph Nader just co-wrote a letter to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi which states: "Buried underneath the coverage of the Democrats second midterm 'shalackin' in a row is a stark public sentiment that provides a path forward for your caucuses during the upcoming lame duck session... a minimum wage raise passed in every state in which it was on the ballot.

(6th panel) Teach-In on why Technology will not save the world. 45 Scholars, Authors & Activists over two days provide an analysis on why immediate change is required in our thinking,
behavior, values and economies.
With The Planet Depleted, overbuilt and poisoned, wild nature and its great gifts are disappearing. The economic challenge for a growth economy is to save itself by build entirely new resources bases to replace the old ones: New genetic foods, new genetic people and beings, new chemical skies to replace old ones (the victims of climate change), new molecular systems, new weaponry on earth and soon, in space, et. al.. For corporations, innovation solves the problem: Ignore the mess, create saleable "green" false solutions, and build and market "substitute nature" for uninterrupted product development and growth. (Event program)
This epic teach-in seeks to frame the issues and offer ecologically sane alternatives that could result in a way out of the termination of Nature and society.

Memorial Tribute to Gaza Doctor Eyad El Sarraj
Nov. 14, 2014, 1:59 p.m.
The entire broadcast this morning is dedicated to the memory of a remarkable human being, Dr. Eyad El Sarraj, a psychiatrist and physician who founded and directed the Gaza Mental Health Center. Dr. Sarraj died December 17, 2013, and his friends here in the Boston area, and there are many, held a special commemorative service in Cambridge on October 28th to honor his work.
Although Dr. El Sarraj was there for everyone, his focus was on caring for the children of Gaza, a population of children who are deeply traumatized by the continuing reign of terror perpetrated by the Israeli military. Every child in Gaza, eight years or over, has had to endure at least 4 sustained military bombardments, the likes of Cast Lead, that is once every two years, and that has left an entire generation of children traumatized. No one one escapes the scars of that kind of bombardment and wholesale devastation. That was Dr. Sarrajâs challenge. Helping those children deal with the trauma of war.
But Dr. El Sarrajâs reach was far beyond Gaza. He also touched the lives of many of us in Cambridge who were fortunate enough to know him and who worked to support him and the work of the Gaza Mental Health Center.
This morning you will hear three of his friends and colleagues speak about the work of Dr. Sarraj, and life in Gaza: Nancy Murray, founder of the Gaza Mental Health Foundation, Sarah Roy, Middle East researcher at Harvard, and Dr. Noam Chomsky.
The introduction is by Hillary Rantisi.
The full proceedings include several more speakers and some beautiful Arabic music. These are posted independently at https://archive.org/details/ElSarrajTribute-141028.

Out of the Woods - Show #240 - 11-15-14
Nov. 13, 2014, 2:48 p.m.
This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length.
Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Kate MacLeod, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk, from Arlo Guthrie to Aerosmith. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul
