No, say it ain't so - was it really so that the Democratic National Convention(DNC) had the chutzpa to convene, of all days, on Labor Day, in a nonunion convention hall, in a right to work state? Well, it's true! So, there's all the more reason to join and build bridges with the worker advocates that converged in Charlotte last week. We bring you on the ground coverage with southern worker coalitions organizing public and private sector workers for labor rights in their Southern Workers Assembly; and other activists from across the country who converged on Wall Street South (the second largest concentration of finance capital in the U.S., after N.Y.C.).

Undocumented Immigrants' Freedom Bus Ride!
Undocumented immigrants taking a page from the civil rights movement on a bus rode for justice from Arizona to Charlotte, N.C. to the Democratic National Convention. Across the states they challenged the champions of prejudice by their voices, and with actions against discrimination, harassment, and deportation. They are ready to move the country forward and will demanded that the Democratic Party match their courage by stopping the arrests and deportations and enacting comprehensive immigration reform.

Setting people against each other has always been a favorite pastime of the Establishment. Nothing gets control freaks more pleasurably riled up than seeing the plebian mainline public go at each otherâs throats based on superficial differences. With the populace divided, the tyrants who have seized America can enjoy the spoils of what they have conquered.

Grand Jury Resistance in PNW / Mountain Top Removal in West VA
Sept. 7, 2012, 5:31 p.m.
This week's show features a conversation with Will Potter about political repression against accused Anarchists in the Pacific Northwest. Later, we'll speak with Bryan of Katuah Earth First! about his participation in a recent action in West Virginia against Mountain Top Removal.
Our first segment of this weeks show is a conversation with Will Potter, award-winning journalist, author and blogger at www.greenisthenewred.com about the JTTF & FBI raids on suspected Anarchists in the Pacific Northwest and the series of Grand Juries now being convened around participation in the May 1st protests in Seattle of this year.
Also, we'll be speaking with Bryan, a member of Katuah Earth First!, based out of Asheville. Bryan was arrested on July 28th during a non-violent direct action under the banner of Radical Action for Mountain People's Survival (RAMPS). This action briefly shut down and brought attention to the Mountain Top Removal style of strip mining being used at the Hobet mine, operated by Patriot Coal in Lincoln County, West Virginia. We talk about the Katuah bioregion, Fracking in North Carolina and getting involved to save our landbase.

FBI Raids on Almighty Latin Kings and Queens Nation in NC
Sept. 7, 2012, 5:13 p.m.
This weeks interview is with Sara Lee of the Greensboro support group for Almighty Latin Kings and Queens Nation in North Carolina. During the hour, Sara Lee talks about the history of the ALKQ Nation and it's development in North Carolina, including being fundamental to the drawing together of Crips, Bloods, MS13 and community and faith groups in Greensboro in 2008 to draft a gang truce and common statement of the necessity for organizations of all stripes to focus on community enrichment and safety. On Tuesday of last week (December 6th) at 8AM, an elite FBI SWAT team, the ATF & the Greensboro-FBI committed synchronized and violent raids on houses and families allegedly aligned with the ALKQ Nation here in NC, rounding up 13 people and harassing their families for 3 to 4 hours.
Anarchists, like Sara Lee, are calling for support for the ALKQN defendants who they've worked with on anti-prison struggles here in state.
The defense network is made up of family, friends, allies and anarchist comrades. The arrested current and former members of the ALKQN organization in state are being indicted by a Federal Grand Jury on Racketeering and RICO charges.
More information on the case (as well as a link for donations for legal costs) can be found at http://alkqnsupport.com/

" I am a word nerd. I like to look up words in my American Heritage Dictionary, see the words for the definitions, what the earlier forms of the word were, and the other words to which a words is related. The dictionary has the heft and thin, crinkly pages of a Wisdom Book, but like all Wisdom Books it was written by humans, most of them white males, so when deep wisdom seems to rise out of it, youâre really pulling the wisdom from your own experience. ...
