Building Bridges Radio: Your Community & Labor Report

Produced and Hosted by Mimi Rosenberg & Ken Nash over WBAI,99.5FM in the NYC Metro Area

WHO WE ARE

WORKERS OF THE WORLD TUNE IN! Introducing "Building Bridges: Your Community & Labor Report"

Our beat is the labor front, broadly defined, both geographically and conceptually. We examine the world of work and workers on the job as well as where they live. We examine the issues that affect their everyday lives, with a particular sensitivity towards human rights abuses, environmental concerns and the U.S. drive for global domination. We record their global struggles and provide analysis of their efforts to empower themselves and transform society to provide greater democratic, human, social, political and economic rights. Each program consists of feature stories, generally interviews, within a historical context, often accompanied by sound from demonstrations, rallies or conferences, and complemented and enhanced by poetry and instrumental or vocal -- people's culture.

Over the years Building Bridges has produced a weekly one hour program, Mondays from 7-8 PM EST, covering local, national and international labor and community issues over radio WBAI-Pacifica 99.5 FM in New York. We also produce half hour version, Building Bridges National, which is distribtued to over 40 broadcast and internet radio stations.

Orlando: I See Your "True Colors" Shining Through

         
Saturday was Latin night. More than 350 revelers
          flocked to Orlando’s Pulse nightclub for reggaeton, salsa
          and Puerto Rican drag queens. “Calling all our Latinos,
          Latinas and everyone that loves a little Latin flavor!”
          read a Saturday evening post on the club's Facebook                   page. “It's time to party!” We’ll continue to probe how               the  merriment ended with the deadliest mass shooting of             LGBTQs in U.S. 
history.

With
 .  Brian Epps, an African-American activist and Executive Director of
    the Malcolm X and Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center
    in NY
.   Gil Caldwell, Co-Executive Producer of the newly released film
   "From Selma to Stonewall: Are We There Yet?" He’s a retired
