Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Remembering Dolores Huerta
Q: What can people do, especially the United Farmworkers? What do you think they can do when this happens?
Huerta says she cannot speak for the union, but describes Rapid Response Teams sharing information and helping families prepare. She says whistles can alert people, union contracts may limit ICE entry without a warrant, and communities can provide support with food and rent.
Remembering Dolores Huerta
Q: Are there things that people need to be thinking about in terms of organizing for the future? You're a master at bringing people together. How do you suppose we could bring more people together, do more organizing?
Huerta says young people are turning out to protests and that internet communication can make organizing faster, but organizers must encourage people not only to learn online but also to show up in person.
We Celebrate the Release of a Powerful New Autobiography By Osha Neumann
Q: Tell us a little bit about Mothers for Peace and the concerns that you've been dealing with around dangerous nuclear plants. One in particular, not too far from where you live in California.
Sealy says Mothers for Peace is working to stop PG&E and California lawmakers from extending Diablo Canyon beyond 2030. She cites the plant's earthquake risks, repair costs, and the burden placed on ratepayers and taxpayers.
We Celebrate the Release of a Powerful New Autobiography By Osha Neumann
Q: Is hope necessary?
Neumann leaves the question open, but says people must keep resisting and doing what is necessary to make the world better, regardless of how distant success seems.
The Election Crimes Bulletin with Greg Palast
Q: Are you concerned now that Netanyahu is itching for a war to save his own butt?
