Here in the nation’s capital, we refuse to normalize National Guard soldiers with automatic weapons on the Metro, or racist checkpoints where Uber drivers are snatched up and handcuffed by men wearing masks.
On this show, we hear from speakers at the massive ‘Solidarity Season’ labor march held Thursday, August 28th, we talk to our geopolitical analyst Gerald Horne about world happenings, and we remember Hurricane Katrina 20 years later. All that and MUCH more.
The show is made possible only by our volunteer energy, our resolve to keep the people’s voices on the air, and by support from our listeners. In this new era of fake corporate news, we have to be and support our own media! Please click here or click on the Support-Donate tab on this website to subscribe for as little as $3 a month.
