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.

Native Americans Conclude 8,300 Mile Protest Walk
with
Ricardo Tapia, organizer

Five Hundred Native Americans gathered near the White House to
mark the end of a 8,300 mile walk across the nation, that aimed to
bring attention to the impact of global warming on the environment
and to spotlight the destruction of indigenous sites by greedy and
callous developers. Organizer of the Longest Walk 2, Ricardo
Tapia joins us.

With the economic crisis upon us, one factor that has received
little attention has been the effect of our trillion dollar war machine
on the economy . More and more resources are going to the
miliary and fewer to actual production. Who will pay the stiffest
price for the mismanagement of the economy?

Crucial Facts and Ignored Options

Prof. William Beeman

William Beeman, author of "The 'Great Satan' vs. the 'Mad Mullahs':
How the United States and Iran Demonize Each Other," discusses
whether the U.S. will support terrorists to destabilize Iran and will
revved up rhetoric push us into another Middle East war?
