The news corporate media won't touch, stories from the front lines of our movements to fight and build and just a dash of spoken word, visual art and snark. Blend and enjoy.

This week:

Regulation is the name of the game if you want to hold corporations accountable and keep them in line with the interests of people and planet. Sadly, there's one serious hurdle standing between us and regulation – and it has to do with how much your life is worth.

Next up, find a May Day action near you - and while you're at it, paint and spray your message of change in super villain coup de art.

But first, here's my 2 cents – on 20 dollars

This past week, thousands of people marched and were arrested on the steps of the Capitol demanding that the people’s voice be heard; that we the people, not money, be the driving force of our government.

Democracy Spring organized a full week of actions - rallying, marching and risking arrest.

Democracy Awakening organized the final three days with teach-ins, panels, rallies and marches, wrapping up the events with hundreds arrested on the Capitol steps.

This video covers the whole week - the rallies, the marches, and several of the people involved in this strong show of people power vs. corporate rule

This week:

The climate crisis IS a reproductive crisis. The founders of Conceivable Future talk to us about the intersectionality of parenthood and climate change.

Next up, the Drug War has wreaked decades of havoc in our country – but what about Latin America? School of the Americas Watch and the Peace, Life & Justice Caravan hi-light this southern path of destruction and invite you to join in the fight against both the drug war and the violent US-backed crusades in South America, Central America and Mexico.

Finally, let's get cozy and dissent.

But first, I'd need less money if I had some more...

This week:

From marches to sit-ins to teach-ins and rallies – activism is in full swing and we're giving you the run down of what's coming up on the front lines.

Next, the mere fact that we have over half a million homeless on any given day in the richest country in the world is not only atrocious but absurd. Thankfully, individuals and communities are quite literally using tiny measures to make a difference.

And finally, there are a lot of corrupt 'n greedy crooks who should be doing time – and these inmates want to introduce them to you.

But first, Democracy Springs.
