Today on Sojourner Truth:

Today, families torn apart by child welfare agencies across the US: there is an increasing epidemic of children being removed from their families and placed in foster care, not because of abuse but because the families are poor or because their mothers are victims of domestic abuse. But the Rev. Liz Theoharis, a joint coordinator of the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, says take away our poverty, not our children. Whats going on and how are families and communities fighting back? Our guest is mother, grandmother and retired nurse Sidney Ross-Risden with the Global Women's Strike - Los Angeles.

Also, we have begun to bring you video from protests happening in Chile sent by Orin Langelle and Anne Petermann of the Global Justice Ecology Project who are representing ST on the ground in Chile. We will speak to Anne Petermann on what she is witnessing on the ground, as mass protests against Chile's right wing government and their austerity measures continue.

And on December 12, there will be a historic election in the UK and battle lines are drawn in the contest for the UK's next Prime Minister. This includes Boris Johnson, the right wing conservative candidate of the Tory party who is being backed by Donald Trump, and Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the UK's Labour Party. Joining us to give the latest on the ground is London-based Sam Weinstein, a volunteer with the Corbyn campaign and Momentum, and group outside of the Labour Party, but who are supporters of Corbyn.
