OUR SHOW TOMORROW TUESDAY 1-3PM will feature the ongoing developments in North Dakota at Standing Rock. Activists from across US and Canada risked their lives as “water protectors” blocking the pipeline that would endanger the Missouri River watershed. Our featured guests have just returned from Standing Rock. Gina Petry of Radical Women and Patrick Burns of the Freedom Socialist Party. Gina is a queer activist and the organizer for Radical Women - Seattle chapter. She led a campaign against budget cuts in Washington State that were impacting women and children; she has also been part of efforts to stop a rent-raising proposal on public housing as well as campaigns for LGBTQ rights and reproductive justice. Gina represented Radical Women at Standing Rock where she met and interviewed several women and youth leaders. Patrick Burns is a retired union carpenter from Renton, WA. He is an active member of the Freedom Socialist Party (FSP) and a community labor group, Organized Workers for Labor Solidarity. Patrick has been involved in many campaigns for social justice, but is most proud of his helping spearhead the effort to effectively ban the “Bodies Exhibit” in Washington State. He represented the FSP at Standing Rock last month. |
