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.

While Capital Says Get Back, The Workers of Guadeloupe-Haiti Said Fight Back!

When the U.S. economy catches a cold the workers of the Caribbean suffer pneumonia – their unemployment skyrockets, as does the prices of goods and services and the legacy of racism is exacerbated. Facing these dilemmas more than 25% of Guadeloupe’s work force, 100,000 strong, went on strike for forty-five days, facing down riot police, and finally paralyzing the Island before the French government conceded to their demands. In Haiti, a country with historical and cultural similarities and ties to Guadeloupe, the unions are playing a major role in the struggle to restore democracy after the U.S. government removed democratically elected President Aristide and U.N. troops continue to occupy the country. Building Bridges brings you a rare opportunity to hear from leaders of the Guadeloupe-Haiti Tour USA, who didn’t give,
but rose up!

Town Hall Meetings have become a way for the Right to spew lies
about Health care reform drowning out any serious discussion. Now
US Senator Bernie Sanders responds to one such amalgamation of
distortions posted on TwitVid by Realman10000 . In his response,
Sanders corrects the record and tells us what health care reform is
really about.
