Occupy the Airwaves sits down with all of our hosts, plus many of the friends, relatives and comrades of Paki Wieland to remember her extraordinary life, her achievements and her many fine qualities. Hosts include Linda Zigenbein, Miranda Groux, Emikan Sudan, Stephen Linsky and Bob Gardner. Our guests include Priscilla Lynch (CodePink), Crystal Zevon (Occupy Wall Street), Linda Gordon and Carolyn Oppenheim (Raging Grannies), Dodi Meinicoff (long time friend), and Marcelle Morgan (Paki's daughter).

 

From her childhood in New Orleans, to being a novitiate with Dominicans, to her days as a teacher and social worker, and of course to her devotion to her children and grandchildren, Paki performed important service to human need, along with her drive to make the world a healthier, more just and more peaceful place. Friends and cohorts testified to their own love and connection to Paki and her passion for life and justice.
