The program opens  with an update on the general strike of February 17, with organizer Michelle Rodino-Colocino 

(the program was recorded that day). A summary of recent underreported stories follows, then Caitlin Remmel speaks 

about Brand New Congress, a campaign intended to field  citizen-responsive candidates in every House district in 2018. 

Next, the legendary organizer Charlotte Hill O'Neill ("Mama C") joins the program, and speaks about her work, 

from her Black Panther days to the present. Finally, we hear an excerpt from next week's program, 

with  author Alexander Reed Ross speaking about his new book "Resisting the Fascist Creep." 

 

Three veteran journalists and media critics share their thoughts about the state of the "free" press in 2017; 

among the topics they address are the election-hacking allegations against Russia, President Trump's attacks 

on the press, the "fake news" label, and the close ties between "new media" and the military/security branches 

of government.

Recently, University of California Berkeley officials cancelled a planned speech by right-wing writer 

Milo Yiannopoulos following vigorous protests, prompting President Trump to suggest withdrawing 

federal funds from the campus. In light of Trump's connections to the ultra-right, what will be 

the nature of political protest in the Trump years? Author and columnist David Talbot examines this issue. 

Then Arif Humayun summarizes the principles of Islam, and explains why the advocacy of terror 

has no basis in authentic Islamic doctrine. 

 

David Talbot has authored books on US political history, and writes a column at the San Francisco Chronicle. 

Arif Humayan is a cofounder of the multifaith organization Circle of Peace.
