Republicans are fighting for more death, destruction, and division - and no group of kids organizing and marching for their lives are going to get in their way.

Also - Trump puts another unqualified sycophant in charge of the second largest bureaucracy in America.

We discuss this and more.

Off-kilter 03-31-2018 by Progressive Voices

On the eve of the 50th anniversary of the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., plans are in place for an interfaith Freedom Seder – remembering the first such event that took place in 1969. Organized Labor is leading the way, and we’ll hear from Union President Stuart Appelbaum.

Also, a month after the death of the Rev. Billy Graham, the man who authored a painfully personal Rolling Stone Magazine story titled, The Soul-Crushing Legacy of Billy Graham, writer Bob Moser.

And historian and independent scholar Diana Butler Bass. Her latest book is titled, Grateful: The Transformative Power of Giving Thanks.

Nurse Talk 03-31-2018 by Progressive Voices

Facebook and Cambridge Analytca make us face what we've created together and what we've surrendered, the city of Atlanta is hacked for ransom, and high school kids from Parkland change what we think is possible. Here's my April 2013 interview with Henry Jenkins, on his book, SPREADABLE MEDIA: Creating Value and Meaning in a Networked Culture. I recommend you go to henryjenkins.org to learn about exciting workshops Henry's doing these days to ignite and tap our civic imagination.

On the radio show this week we cover the latest in the fight for fair treatment of all immigrant families; we hear how some countries have ended mass incarceration by legalizing drugs — and what we could do here; we get the inside scoop on corporations like Starbucks reaching for pay parity; and we hear the best ways to advance our nation toward gun safety and community safety.
