In the first half of the program, peace organizer Medea Benjamin looks at the
Biden Administration's foreign policy, and finds it mainly a disappointment.
Then Rebecca Grace and John Gray introduce the Complete Picture Project,
an organization that assembles videos of nonviolent offenders facing sentencing,
so that a sentencing judge will learn more about an offender's entire life,
including family and community connections, rather than only the criminal record.

she's also written eight books, including "Inside Iran" and "Kingdom of the Unjust."

Today's guests say that the National Park Service is betraying its mission at California's Point Reyes National Seashore by favoring legacy cattle ranches and dairies
over preservation of the land and the survival of the native Tule Elk. Peter Byrne and Will Carruthers also present examples of the local ranch and dairy businesses wielding
undue influence in the region's politics, and corrupting a local land-preservation nonprofit. They add that only the presence of an independent weekly newspaper
has enabled the public to be aware of these problems.
Notes:
Peter Byrne is an investigative journalist who has written on a wide array of topics, from science and medicine to public finance.
His article “Apocalypse Cow” can be read at www.pacificsun.com. All of Byrne's work can be found at www.PeterByrne.info
Will Carruthers is the staff reporter for the Pacific Sun and North Bay Bohemian weekly newspapers, serving California's Marin,
Sonoma and Napa counties.
