Brooklyn NY Students Join National Gun Violence Walk Out
March 24, 2018, 9:45 a.m.
Chanting We Want Change thousands of students walk out of school and tell us what they want and isnt it time to listen!
ALL people who have experienced gun violence, including systemic forms of gun violence that disproportionately impact teens in Black and Brown communities. It is important that when we refer to gun violence, we do not overlook the impact of police brutality and militarized policing, or see police in schools as a solution. We also recognize the United States has exported gun violence through imperialist foreign policy to destabilize other nations.
The students of Packer Collegiate Institute, Brooklyn Friends, Saint Anns, Brooklyn Tech, and other Brooklyn Schools
Tens of thousands of students across the country walked out of their classrooms as part of a massive national protest on gun violence spurred by the Florida high school shooting a month ago that left 17 dead. The protests unfolded in major cities across the country " New York, Washington, Chicago, Seattle and hundreds of smaller towns and communities as well. The walkouts, before a march on Washington - hundreds of thousands of students to the nations capital, a turnout not seen in size or scope since student protests of the Vietnam War in the late 1960s. Building Bridges presents, more than a sound bite, but the actual speeches, the hue and cry of the young protesters with comprehensive interviews where they tell it like it is for them. The students are saying that their walkouts and demonstrations represent a realization of power and influence by young people raised on social media who have come of age in an era of never- ending wars, highly publicized mass shootings and virulent national politics.

Two Criminal Accusations Against Russia. Probing the Skripal Affair and Flight MH 17
March 23, 2018, 11:45 a.m.
This week, the Global Research News Hour probes two major incidents in the last four years which have jaded public (Western) attitudes toward Russia and their President Vladimir Putin. First we hear from Moscow based journalist and author John Helmer about his take on the poisoning of former Russian double-agent Sergei Skripal, and outlines whether the evidence points to a professional assassination attempt and the assertion of Russian culpability.
In the final half hour, we hear from Kees Van der Pijl, author of a recently released book on MH 17. Van Der Pijl is convinced that the official story of the downing of the flight is impossible, outlines the impact of the downing geo-politically, and speaks to the unlikelihood of political or media breakthroughs regardless of the evidence.
John Helmer is the longest continuously serving foreign correspondent in Russia, A former professor of political science, sociology and journalism and former staffer with the Carter Administration, Helmer is a frequent commenter on topics related to Russia. His site, 'Dances with Bears' can be found at johnhelmer.net.
Kees Van Der Pijl is a Professor Emeritus of International Relations at the University of Sussex and former director of the Centre for Global Political economy. He is currently active with the Dutch anti-fascist resistance, having served as its president. In 2017 he authored the book, Flight MH17, Ukraine and the new Cold War.

March 22, 2018, 7:44 a.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. 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
