The website that Max Siegelbaum co-founded focuses on issues facing immigrants in New York City. A couple weeks ago Max broke a story about the Canadian Pension Plan's investments in private prisons in the US. We talked to him about that story, about ethical investing, and about where else the CPP is putting their money.
Then our interview with Helen from The Certain Days Freedom for Political Prisoners Calendar project. Great project and a great interview.

Finally, weâll be airing audio from a demonstration that took place on Sunday October 21 in Montreal against the International Corrections and Prisons Association conference. This conference was hosted by Correctional Services Canada and has been happening all week at the Marriott Hotel on de la Gauchetiere in downtown Montreal. They only know one way to act: build more prisons and have stricter enforcement inside. What's new, hey? This is why we have to keep fighting for prisoners rights. First them, then us, the citizens who stand by and stay silent. Stand up and DO SOMETHING!

Ecological Devastation is Immoral
with
The Rev. William J. Barber II, president of the North Carolina NAACP, architect of the Moral Monday protest movement, and
Repairers of the Breach, his most recent books include Forward Together: A Moral Message for the Nation and The Third Reconstruction: Moral Mondays, Fusion Politics and the Rise of a New Justice Movement.
and
Former Vice President Al Gore, currently Chairman of the Climate Reality Project. Author of "An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It"
Were heading to Belews Lake, North Carolina, right beside the Duke Energy plant, its smoke stakes spewing coal ash amidst this otherwise bucolic landscape, where we listened to former Vice President Al Gore brought there by the Rev. Dr. William Barber and his Poor Peoples Campaign to highlight one of the four pillars of the Poor Peoples Campaign - ecological devastation that is inextricably linked to the perpetuation of poverty.
Earlier this year Rev. Barber announced an effort by faith and moral leaders to carry forward Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.s dream of a Poor Peoples Campaign, working across the country to alleviate the triad forces of poverty, militarism, and racism that Dr. King knew were poisoning the country then and still threaten us today.
Rev. William Barber noted, the battle for civil rights and the battle for economic rights are two wings of the same word.

we speak to Nicholas Shaxson about his new book The Finance Curse: How Global Finance Is Making Us All Poorer released alongside new research from the Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute on the true costs of the City of Londonâs oversized finance sector to the British economy â £4.5 trillion in lost economic output over a 20 year period â thatâs equivalent to £67,500 for every person in the UK, not far off $90,000. This research has serious implications for oversized financial centres everywhere.
Also, we discuss the brutal murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the hypocrisy of the âwestâ and corruption of democracy by dark money and national and international security threats not only from Russia, but also from China and, the most overlooked â the United States.
Sonic Cafe #109/Corporations Are People Too
Oct. 25, 2018, 8:30 a.m.
Weâre the Sonic Café. Hey welcome, Iâm Scott Clark and this is episode one hundred and nine. So do you work to live? Or do you live to work? This time the Sonic Café exams the often complicated, stressful realities we confront in our day-to-day working lives. Once on the clock most of us enter a world of life sucking deadlines, mind numbing meetings and sometimes-questionable ethics. Where the only objective that really matters is the bottom line. And the only person that really matters is the corporation itself. Because after all, corporations are people too, right? And though each job seems to hold such promise at the start, struggles between management and the rank and file often result in a not so pleasant conclusion in the end. Listen as the Sonic Café presents a trio of career ending movie clips from Kevin Spacey in American Beauty, Russell Crowe from the Insider and weâll listen in as Jimmy quit his one hit wonder gig from That Thing You Do. All that wrapped in an eclectic music mix weâve pulled from over 40 years including Lee Dorsey, Green Future, the Kaiser Chiefs, Thunderball, The Animals and of course much more. All just ahead, from that little café on the coast where itâs always easy to punch in, but not so easy to punch out, weâre the Sonic Café.

Out of the Woods - Show #447 - 11-3-18
Oct. 25, 2018, 5:08 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

16 Shots and a Cover-Up - Movement for Community Control of Police in Chicago
Oct. 24, 2018, 11:02 a.m.
Press Conference to announce next step in the campaign to end police impunity for killing and brutalizing Black and Latino youth in Chicago. The Civilian Police Accountability Council (CPAC) ordinance would do that. Alderman Rosa announces his plan to force the legislation out of the Public Safety Committee, where it has been bottled up by Mayor Emanuel's minions, to a City Council floor vote by invoking Rule 41.
CPAC is a element of the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression's campaign in coalition with others to win community control over the Chicago Police Department that, following the murder of Laquan McDonald and its cover up, helped force the release of the video of CPD officer Jason Van Dyke shooting
the teen 16 times; caused merchants the loss of a billion dollars of Black Friday sales when it marched on Michigan Avenue to get the attention of Chicago's elites who were too comfortable with the racist status quo; forced Van Dykes indictment for murder where he was found guilty in a jury trial; forced removal of the corrupt former Cook County States Attorney Anita Alverez when she was defeated by Kim Fox; and ended the political career of Mayor Rahm Emanuel in Chicago in part for his attempted cover up of the murder just ahead of his election to a second term.
Speakers include SEIU Local 73, Chicago Teachers Union, Mariel Johnson, mother of police torture survivor Michael Johnson, candidates for alderman, community justice activist and a candidate for City Clerk who notes that 20 million dollars in civil judgments against CPD Jason Van Dyke had been authorized by the Mayor and City Council prior to the murder of Laquan McDonald.

IPCC Report October 2018 - Only 12 years left to save ourselves
Oct. 23, 2018, 6:32 p.m.
Even though the October 8, 2018 release of the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report was meant to jolt humanity into action to bring down carbon dioxide releases within 12 years to avoid global catastrophe - a stunned silence fell upon most of the world media.
Two scientists, who have been on TUC Radio before, are imploring us to notice that the IPCC's report is not urgent enough. They are Professor Peter Wadhams, Emeritus Professor of Polar Ocean Physics, Cambridge University; and Professor Kevin Anderson from the Tyndall Center for Climate Change Research, University of Manchester.
My thanks go out to Stuart Scott, with the United Planet Faith and Science Initiative and Amy Goodman of Democracy Now for giving them a voice.
First is Professor Peter Wadhams, interviewed by Stuart Scott on October 11, 2018, on the United Planet Faith and Science Initiative.
Next is Professor Kevin Anderson, interviewed by Amy Goodman on Democracy Now. They spoke on October 9, 2018
