‘ON THE GROUND’ SHOW FOR MARCH 26, 2021: Amazon Workers Speak Out in Bessemer Alabama… Jon Jeter on Lame COVID Relief… Headlines on Teachers, Voting Rights and More…


From the New Cold War to voting rights, to guns, to labor rights, this is an inflection point for American politics and human rights. We hear voices of Amazon workers and he Rev. William Barber organizing for a union in Bessemer, Alabama. And for this month’s look at culture and media, journalist Jon Jeter says the American Rescue Plan is not all it is cranked to be. Headlines with historian Gerald Horne on the new Cold War with China, voter suppression, teachers, affordable housing and more.
