Sojourner Truth Radio

Today on Sojourner Truth, a one-hour special with activist and journalist Laura Carlsen, who is based in Mexico City.

An in-depth look at how women migrants in Central America, mothers in search of their children lost along the migrant trail, have organized themselves and now have joined with mothers from the continent of Africa and other countries to form a global movement of mothers of the disappeared.

We look into the history of the mothers of the disappeared in Argentina and their global impact.

We also discuss Zapatista women and the new feminism. They recently held their first international women's gathering of politics, art, culture and sport for women in struggle.

And, the migrant caravans that have made their way from Honduras and other Central American countries to the United States.

Finally, the new NAFTA and its wider implications and the impact of Donald Trump's bashing of Mexicans on binationals living in Mexico.

Today on Sojourner Truth:

Republicans in the House of Representatives successfully blocked a bipartisan resolution that would have ended U.S. involvement in the Saudi-led war in Yemen. Tens of thousands have been killed and up to a million people are under threat of starvation. 113,000 children have already died from hunger. The cholera epidemic in Yemen, which is spreading as a result of the Saudi blockade, is already the worst in modern history with close to a million people affected. Meanwhile, Donald Trump touts his mega weapons deal with the Saudis while turning a blind eye to Saudi atrocities. Our guest is Robert Naiman, policy director at Just Foreign Policy.

CNN has filed a lawsuit against Trump's White House. Concerns are growing about freedom of the press in the United States. Trump has consistently gone after members of the press who are critical of his policies and who call out the outright lies and misinformation he feeds his supporters. The implications are far-reaching especially considering the growing divide in the U.S. Our guest is Jeff Cohen, a journalist, media critic, retired journalism professor and the founder of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), a U.S. media watchdog group.

For our weekly Earth Watch, the fight over palm oil. We speak with Jeff Conant, who directs the international forests program for Friends of the Earth U.S.

Tensions between Israel and Palestinians are once again on the rise, following a botched Israeli commando raid in Gaza. Our guest is Ali Abunimah, Director of Electronic Intifada, an independent online news publication focusing on Palestine.

Also, our weekly Campaigners for Black Lives segment. We turn our attention back to Georgia's Governor's race following congressional elections. The Democratic candidate, Stacey Abrams, still hopes to become the first Black woman to be governor of that southern state. Her challenge to her GOP opponent, Brian Kemp, continues as she is not conceding. Our guest is Tiffany Smith with Black Lives Matter Atlanta.

We also remember Pacifica Radio's Antonio Gonzalez, who has passed away. He was the President of the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project and the William C. Velasquez Institute. He died on Sunday, November 11. As we remember Antonio, we speak with historian, author and professor Miguel Tinker Salas.
