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.

 

Notes:

 

Medea Benjamin is co-founder of the women's peace organization Code Pink;

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