This week:
A special extended episode featuring voices from what one might think are opposite sides of the front lines: a young black woman and a retired police captain.
In fact, these two may even have run into each other in the city of brotherly love long before they had the fight for justice in common. First we'll hear from creative activist, community builder and social justice advocate YahNe Ndgo about police brutality, systemic racism and movements for change – then we'll give you a preview of next week's special with retired police Captain Ray Lewis – a man who has marched across the police brutality spectrum to stand against injustice from wall street to ferguson.
And finally, a quick shout out to climate justice fighters as they march against pipelines and for people and planet. ---
From tweets to marching in the streets, this is Act Out!

Let's take a walk down the aisle – the political aisle that is, and see where we might find some common ground – perhaps there's a unifying factor, something that both sides hold in the highest esteem, that they can't live without, that drives their decisions and shapes their every step.
Next up, the boat for peace in a place of war – Women's Boat to Gaza calls for peace and hi-lights the role of women in the Palestinian struggle for freedom.
And finally, it's berry season so why not celebrate by avoiding these capitalist cronies peddling sweet fruit and bitter discontent.
But first, politics and poetry...

Memorial Day got us thinking – some of the biggest issues facing our country are forgotten once the cameras switch off. But our ADD news cycle only makes us more vulnerable to repeat disasters like, for example, the Flint Michigan Water Crisis. So let's revisit Flint – not only for the sake of water but for the sake of the bigger picture of how our system let this happen, even pushed for it to happen – in Flint and elsewhere.
Next up, access to fresh water is becoming more and more dire and Nestle – wants to make sure your thirst doesn't get in the way of its profits.
And finally, a memorial look at the TPP, the People’s Impact Report and what’s next.
But first – strike the Flint.

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.

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.

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.

And finally, we can't all live off-the-grid, but we can all make changes that loosen our strong ties to a consumerist, overly commodified lifestyle.
But first, I just gotta riff this right now.

Next up, Monsanto is poisoning people, that's nothing new. But after 4 decades. one measly clause in a house bill could wipe their legal slate clean.
And finally, Daniel Lee has occupied the streets, organized and appeared at rallies and actions for years. Now, he's taking that fight into a bid for political office.
But first, an ode to a stoic beauty.

Next up, this is the week to stand strong on the front lines against the complete corporate takeover and finally,
