Extinction Rebellion - Rupert Read and Alison Green TWO of TWO
March 19, 2019, 7:53 p.m.
Extinction Rebellion runs parallel in time and demands to the school strike movement that has also already spread to over 100 countries.
In an open letter signed by Vandana Shiva, Naomi Klein, Noam Chomsky, Bill McKibben and many more Extinction Rebellion states:
"The climate crisis is worsening much faster than previously predicted. Every single day 200 species are becoming extinct ⦠Political leaders worldwide are failing to address the environmental crisis ⦠International political organisations and national governments must ⦠urgently draw up comprehensive policies to address it."
Dr. Rupert Read is an academic teaching Philosophy at the University of East Anglia. He is a long time Green Party politician and a former Green Party spokesperson for transport.
Dr. Alison Green has held many senior academic positions in UK universities. Last year she resigned from academia to become a full time activist. She co-wrote the open letter/manifesto for Extinction Rebellion and is the National Director (UK) for Scientists Warning. She works alongside Stuart Scott, Executive Director.

Maria Stewart - Sandra Kamusukiri - A Visit With a Free Black Woman - Boston 1840
March 19, 2019, 9:22 a.m.
Maria W. Stewart, as characterized by professor and scholar Sandra Kamusakiri, was a free black woman who lived in Boston, MA, from the 1820s to the early 1840s. She was the first American born woman to lecture in public on political themes and likely the first African-American to speak out in defense of womenâs rights. A forerunner to Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth, she was intensely religious and regarded as outspoken and controversial during her time. For more than a century, Maria W. Stewartâs life contributions remained obscured, illustrating the double pressures of racism and sexism on the lives African-American women. I met with Mariah W. Stewart in the person of Professor Sandra Kamusukiri during the 1996 Democracy in America Chautauqua, held in Ukiah, California.
Maria Stewart recommends âThe Fair Sketches of Women,â by John Adams and âThe Bible.â

Chicago Anti War Committe Forum on NATO / Venezula
March 16, 2019, 9:20 p.m.
Program to connect the militarism of NATO, no longer a "defensive organization" and now operating far from its European origins and the United States open campaign to over throw the government of Venezuela under pretext of a humanitarian crisis.
Economic war has been directed at Venezuela for over twenty years as it had the affront under its Bolivarian Constitution to use it's national wealth to improve the conditions of its majority population; Venezuelans of African and indigenous descent.
All mineral wealth beneath the ground is now owned by the people, unlike in the United States where profits from mineral wealth are privatized and the public gets the environmental pollution and disease associated with mining.
Bush2 attempted a coup that imposed as President the head of the Chamber of Commerce, Obama declared Venezuela a "special National Security threat to the United States" imposing a financial blockade preventing it from using the U.S. dollar with threats against corporations of being barred from U.S. trade if they continued to do business with Venezuela Trump has made conditions more extreme by appointing death squad organizer Elliot Abrams to over see the U.S. effort while a full scale propaganda campaign, carried by U.S. and British media, has created the narriative used previously to justify invasion as seen in Iraq, Libya and Syria.
NATO is now the joint military arm of former colonial powers. It has bases in South America and even the United States. Whats Up? Lean more and what we can do to organize to stop more war and "regime" change, that has every where resulted in death and destruction for the peoples visited by the "humanitarian gestures: of the Unites States, Ie. Wall Street,The Pentagon, CIA, Citi Bank and the Boeing Company.

400 Years of Terror: A Debt Still Owed
March 16, 2019, 11:52 a.m.
Economist William S. Darity speaks on reparations for descendants of enslaved Africans. The demand dates to the organizing of ex-slave Callie House, leader of the National Ex-Slave Mutual Relief, Bounty and Pension Association, chartered in 1897. The Federal Government had abandoned
freed black people to Southern white supremacist State terror and disenfranchisement when it removed Federal troops from the South to put down the Great Railroad Strike of 1877. The effect of which remains present today. Dr. Darity backs his call for reparations with some startling research from his forth coming book: "From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the 21st Century."
Dr. Conrad Worrill, Director/Professor emeritus, Carruthers Center for Inner City Studies, NEIU, speaks about the Reparations movement and the case he brought to the United Nations charging the United States with genocide and crimes against humanity. He credits Callie House, ex-slave, as the first person framed and imprisoned by the US Government for her campaign to gain reparations in the late 1800s, her story told in Mary Frances Berry's " My Face Is Black Is True: Callie House and the Struggle for Ex-Slave Reparations".
The vestiges of slavery continue to diminish the human rights of descendants of enslaved Africans in the United States and else where. A key factor is the lack of wealth that can stabilize a family in crisis or empower ones children's educational opportunities. These are long time realities in black families as you will hear in the letter Dr. Worrill reads; a reply from an ex-slave to his former owner's request he return following emancipation.
