On today's episode we are joined by cultural worker, organizer and Executive Director of MediaJustice Steven Renderos to talk about the battle against monopoly ownership and misinformation in our corporate media system. We start by looking at Live Nation, one of the largest global players in the entertainment industry who recently opened a hotel and music venue "The Filmore Minneapolis" with our arch nemesis United Properties. We go on to discuss net neutrality, digital surveillance and a vision for a media system beyond capitalism.

Today we are joined St.Paul luminary, poet and organizer Tish Jones to talk about the grass roots community challenge to the 'ReConnect Rondo" land bridge project. We open by discussing the history of the Rondo Neighborhood of St.Paul, a thriving Black community that was intentionally destroyed by the construction of Interstate 94 in the 1960s. From there Tish shares with us the woeful lack of community engagement by MN DOT and ReConnect Rondo in their 500 Million dollar land bridge project, the gentrification and displacement implications of the project and the organizing Tish and others are doing calling for transparency and justice for the Rondo community.

To supplement this weeks interview with Community Members for Environmental Justice (CMEJ) leader's Shalini Gupta and Roxxanne Obrien we are releasing a recording of the May 18th Community Intervention organized by CMEJ at Northern Metals. This powerful action was attended by roughly 100 concerned Minneapolis residents and featured powerful speakers from across communities and organizations. Big hearty salutes to everyone on all fronts of the struggle in Minneapolis and beyond, we are applying major pressure!

*This was a field recording done on the fly so the audio is a little rough, just a heads up.

On today's episode we are joined by Roxanne Obrien and Shalini Gupta, founding members of Community Members for Environmental Justice (CMEJ), to get caught up on the fight against industrial polluter Northern Metals. Roxxanne and Shalini brief us on the multiple toxic fires at Northern Metals this spring, how Covid 19 intersects with Environmental Racism and how the ruling class is using grant money to buy off activists in Minneapolis.

*The opening clip was recorded live at the CMEJ organized community intervention against Northern Metals on Tuesday, May 18th
