Chicago Teachers Union - Strike Solidarity Rally
Oct. 11, 2019, 12:06 p.m.
Rally in support of Chicago teachers who want a fair contract that guarantees: nurses, librarians, social workers, and counselors; smaller class sizes; a decent pay raise for educators, school staff and the Chicago Park District workers who provide the after school services that children and parents depend on.
The Mayor made promises to support public education which was starved of adequate funds by the past two mayors. While she promises to make good on her campaign pledges she refuses to put the key provisions in to the contract that is being bargained to make them enforceable.
Speakers provide a back story of why they will support of the city's teachers and children should a strike be forced by the mayor. And following years of betrayal by former mayors, when it comes to keeping their promises, why they are demanding that Mayor Lightfoot, who ran on an education platform sounding a lot like the unions own, put her promises in writing.
Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopezand, 25th Ward and Ald. Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, 35th Ward, and Cook County Commissioner. Brandon Johnson speak at the rally. Also addressed by a speaker is why affordable housing, part of the union's contract demand, is essential for the healthy development and well being of the children that teachers are responsible for educating and facilitating in their development as healthy human beings. The strike is about more than the salary and benefits that the Mayor and corporate media are trying to narrow the story to. Its a fight against neoliberal ideologues and those businessmen who see public education as a cash cow and children from disadvantaged environments as exploitable and disposable.
Speakers also include representatives of the Chicago Teachers Union, SEIU Local 73, Parents 4 Teachers, GoodKids MadCity, Southside Together Organizing for Power (STOP), Coalition to Close the Concentration Camps, CTU Alliance of Charter Teachers and Staff, National Nurses United at University of Chicago Medical Center, and Graduate Employees Organization at the University of Illinois at Chicago

In our first half hour, we get a perspective from Toronto-based academic and peace campaigner Tamara Lorincz, on Canadaâs current role in advancing U.S. military agendas including their aspirations with regard to missile defense and dominance in space. She also provides a brief same day report back on a protest she organized outside the NATO Association of Canada office in downtown Toronto.
In our second half hour, Global Research News Hour associate Paul Graham conducts a conversation with Bruce Gagnon of the Global Network Against Nuclear Power and Weapons in Space talks about Americaâs plans for the development of outer space as a war-fighting theatre. He also details the concerns about the use of nuclear power for space travel, the role of the military in guarding access to the heavens, and the cost of a new nuclear arms race to environment protection, social security and other projects in the public interest.

We Need to Build a New Green Economy
Oct. 10, 2019, 8:54 a.m.
Autoworker Sean Crawford travels across the border to build resistance against the auto sector's multi-tier employee system, which harms worker solidarity. But more than promoting co-operation across borders, Crawford is bringing with him a grander vision.
Crawford, a native of Flint Michigan, knows just how damaging plant closures can be. With callous owners shutting down production in the U.S. and Canada alike, labour needs to take the reins. If managers and governments won't save production, it is us who need to mobilize to retool industries for Green Jobs and environmentally-friendly production. Only workers have the collective interest at heart.

One of our travelers is a positive thinker who thinks any aliens they might discover in the universe would be kind, carrying people, just like them. The other traveler has a more cynical view of humanity and interplanetary nature, and since this is the Twilight Zone we find that both men are correct⦠People ARE alike all over. Weâve wrapped this tale in a music mix 46 years that explores the milk of human kindness from a number of angles. Listen for Melody Gardot, Spandau Ballet, the Supreme Beings of Leisure, Gentle Giant, Procol Harum and many more as we bring you People Are Alike All Over on another Twilight Zone classic from that little café on the coast, weâre the Sonic Café.

Manenima Hilario - Born into the Stone Age
Oct. 9, 2019, 8:30 a.m.
A generally accepted theory about human migration tells us that people crossed the landmass that once connected Siberia to Alaska. Some of those people continued walking south and many generations later settled on the western edge of the Amazon Basin in South America in what is now eastern Peru. One of those groups is called Shapibo. Manenima Hilario, who is now 26 yeas old, was born Shapibo, into his tribe which lived in the Stone Age traditional fashion. At age 11, he went to secondary school in the Hispanic Amazon jungle town of Pucallpa. Later, from Lima, Peru he found his way to Taylor, Texas, and on to Sonoma State University, in Northern CA, where he graduated in June of 1997. Since that time he was enrolled at Stanford University to work on his Ph.D.
Manenima Hilario recommends the biography of General Colin Powell.

The long history of Black solidarity with Palestine and its opposition by supposed progressives
Oct. 8, 2019, 8:22 p.m.
"Cries for Intersectionality are at the center of organizing efforts for a host of social movements, the intersection of various liberation movements moving in solidarity against common oppressors. ... The movements for Black liberation and the movement for Palestinian liberation are front and center in this organizing effort. There is long history of these two movements allying together going all the way back to the civil rights era when SNCC publicly identified with the Palestinian liberation movement and subsequently lost almost all financial support from the Jewish community. ..."
That was from an article written by Rod Such and originally published in the Electronic Intifada.
Our feature presentation today is a talk given by Palestinian comedian and author Amer Zahr in the Palestine Center in Washington , DC. Amer Zahr has made quite a name for himself as a comedian who performs, literally, all over the planet. He is well known on US campuses, but also has performed in major theaters throughout the country including the Kennedy Center. In this presentation he also reads from his book âBeing Palestinian Makes Me Smile.â
(This edition is a reprise from last winter.)

Doris Kearns Goodwin: Leadership In Turbulent Times
Oct. 8, 2019, 3:36 p.m.
What makes a great leader? This week on Sea Change Radio, we are honored to have Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin here to give us her take on that question. Goodwinâs book, Leadership in Turbulent Times, just released in paperback, re-examines four US presidents she has studied in the past: Abe Lincoln, Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson. She discusses the contrast between these presidentsâ leadership and the behavior of the current grifter-in-chief, puts todayâs impeachment proceedings in historical context, and hypothesize about how past presidents might have addressed momentous issues like climate change and election tampering. Then, we dig into the Sea Change Radio archives and listen to Rebecca Vallas, a Vice President at the Center for American Progress, talk about the Trump administrationâs absurd claims that poverty and hunger are now things of the past in this country.
Helen Caldicott and Michael Madsen: Into Eternity TWO of TWO
Oct. 8, 2019, 12:07 p.m.
This is the conclusion of a conversation between Helen Caldicott and Michael Madsen whose film, Into Eternity, premiered in the US in February 2011. Helen called Madsen "One of the more extraordinary people I've ever interviewed". This is a thought provoking exchange between the veteran campaigner, Helen Caldicott, who dedicated her life to alerting us to the nuclear danger, and the young Danish artist. He introduces thoughts about civilization, language, danger and eternity.
Into Eternity is a documentary about the building of the world's first permanent repository for nuclear waste in Finland. It shows not only the construction under way that will take 140 years, but introduces the people involved, the scientists, regulators and corporate executives who oversee this project. None of them will be alive when Onkalo, as the repository is called, will be finished in 2120; and they must expect this repository to remain intact and untouched by future humans for at least 100,000 years. Such is the danger and longevity of waste from nuclear power plants.
