AUGUST 20, 2011 – MW350 Welcome to Making Waves: Independent Voices for Peace & Justice, your local connection to the world produced on WSCA LP 106.1FM Portsmouth Community Radio! This is Amy Antonucci and I am happy to introduce our show to you today, AUGUST 20, 2011. In today’s show we look at some unsustainable systems dominating our society, then look at one way of getting back to basics and reality. Here’s what we have coming up for you: After News You Need to Know which will focus on Israeli Apartheid, WBAI Sunday News brings us a report on the Harlem Millions March Rally which spoke out against the US War on Libya. The latest Fortnightly Rant from the NH Gazette focuses on the US and World economic woes. Then, in the second half of our show, we explore solutions with Kiado Cruz, Community Organizer for RASA (Autonomous Network for Food Sovereignty) in Oaxaca, Mexico, speaking in Durham NH about Sustainable Agriculture and Social Justice: Cultivating Peace, One Garden at a Time. We’ll also have music and more, so stay with us. First for some news… -News You Need to Know –10 min SONG: The Price of an Orange – Mark Simos, album: none, label: Devachan Music (BMI), genre: folk -WBAI Sunday News: HARLEM MILLIONS MARCH RALLY - 8/13/2011 THOUSANDS FILLED MALCOLM X BOULEVARD FROM 125TH STREET TO 110TH STREET YESTERDAY AS THEY CAME TO ATTEND THE MILLIONS MARCH RALLY. THE EVENT, ORGANIZED BY THE DECEMBER 12 MOVEMENT AND THE ANSWER COALITION, WAS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE PAN AFRICAN UNITY AND DENOUNCE "THE WAR OF AGGRESSION ON LIBYA AND THE RECOLONIZATION OF AFRICA". -NH Gazette Fortnightly Rant: Let the Campaign Begin, no Continue; August 12, 2011 read by Steve Fowle, editor of the NHG 30:00mins- 34:50mins: SONG: Chan Chan – The Mammals, album: Rock That Babe, label: Signature Sounds, genre: folk (28 min) --- Musical Break --- LIVE: Announcements – 5-10 minutes Israel's system of apartheid is unsustainable. The US militarily occupying numerous countries and threatening additional wars with Iran, China and others is unsustainable. The global capitalist economic system, based on the premise of endless cancerous growth and bottomless supplies of oil is unsustainable. Maintaining these systems of inequality will require an ever-increasing level of investment and violence. But an alternative vision of radically local agriculture and grassroots democracy is taking shape around the world, and already being implemented in Oaxaca Mexico, as a response to corporate totalitarianism. -Kiado Cruz, October 29, 2010, Waysmeet, Durham NH Sustainable Agriculture and Social Justice: Cultivating Peace, One Garden at a Time with Kiado Cruz, Community Organizer for RASA (Autonomous Network for Food Sovereignty) in Oaxaca, Mexico Sponsored by Witness for Peace New England, American Friends Service Committee – NH, The United Campus Ministry to UNH, The Greater Seacoast Permaculture Group, Seacoast Peace Response Ending: Thanks for listening to Making Waves: Independent Voices for Peace and Justice!
