DECEMBER 8 (REPLAY) When you’re speaking truth to power, how do you make them listen? In the great American tradition, non-violent civil disobedience has been on display across the US: Occupy, Wisconsin Uprising, Black Lives Matter, and many other less well publicized incidents. In this podcast, we speak to Scott Parkin of Rainforest Action OKNetwork and Rising Tide/North America about non-violent civil disobedience and it’s role in transformative change. Move to Amend Reports is the weekly podcast that details current events and features guests specializing in movement building, grassroots organizing, amending the Constitution, and issues being addressed by Move To Amend.

Move to Amend Reports w/ Laura Bonham & Egberto Willies

December 1 It’s hard to ignore the military-industrial complex in the United States: our government spends more than HALF of the national budget on the military, awards trillions of dollars in military contracts to private corporations, and then receive hundreds of billions in lobbying money to increase that military spending. The connections between corporate oligarchy and the US military are rarely explored within "mainstream" corporate-owned news. In fact, it's more likely for corporate media to defend the American war economy with nationalist propaganda while attacking any critic or anti-war activist who might work against it. "Made Love, Got War" is how journalist, author, media critic, and activist Norman Solomon describes the military-industrial complex in his book by the same name. Solomon’s lifetime in journalism and anti-war activism have combined to provide his readers with accurate and responsible reporting and analysis. Don’t miss the conclusion of our enlightening two-part conversation about the future of democracy and the fates of whistleblowers and anti-war advocates with one of the country’s foremost independent journalists and experienced activists.
