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.

Replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day
with
Dean Hutchinson, Cherokee scholar & poet

Indigenous People mark the anniversary of Columbus' voyage, to use
the occasion to reveal the historical truth about the invasion & the
consequent genocide and environmental destruction and then to
organize against its continuation today, and to celebrate Indigenous
resistance. We celebrate Native resistance at The American Indian
Community House.

Feeling dizzy from the whirlwind events on Wall Street? While capitalism's
balloon bursts we won't deflate, but what should we make out of the dire
pronouncements – what is to be done? We bring you highlights of an
emergency forum of leading left voices on economics and grassroots
politics.
