Sojourner Truth Radio

Today on Sojourner Truth:

Since Cuba's 1959 Revolution, the United States has attempted to undo what the Revolution was hoping to achieve. The U.S. tried invasion, economic boycotts, several assassination attempts of Fidel Castro, and propaganda. Now, thousands of protesters have hit the streets in Cuba. What's going on? This, at the same time as turmoil in Haiti following the assassination of U.S.-backed President Jovenel Moise. Our guest on Cuba is Laura Carlsen, Director of the Americas Program and works with Just Associates, an international feminist organization.

We also discuss voting rights. Even as Democratic legislators flee Texas to avoid allowing yet another attempt to pass a voter suppression law. They traveled to Washington D.C. to pressure the Biden administration to do more to protect voting rights. On Tuesday, July 13, Biden gave a speech on voting rights in Philadelphia. But did he go far enough? Our guest is voting rights campaigner Barbara Arnwine.

Also, migrants are on hunger strike in Belgium. Benoit Martin of Payday Men's Network fills us in on what's going on.

Lastly, our weekly Earth Minute presented by Theresa Church of the Global Justice Ecology Project.

Today on Sojourner Truth:

Misinformation and jockeying for power. The latest on the situation in Haiti and the U.S. response following the assassination of Haiti's President, Jovenel Moise. It has been almost a week since Moise was assassinated in his home, yet many questions remain up in the air. What were Colombian ex-military members doing in Haiti? How did the assailants get through a fortified compound, defended by Haitian security forces, with no other deaths? Our guest is journalist and Haiti expert Kevin Pina. Kevin also serves as a Country Expert on Haiti for the Varieties of Democracy project sponsored by the University of Notre Dame Center for Research Computing, the University of Gothenburg Department of Political Science, and the Helen Kellogg Institute for International Studies.

In an effort to stem the tide of the criminalization of crimes of poverty, the US PROStitutes Collective has come together with the California Coalition for Women Prisoners and other organizations to launch a Know Your Rights campaign. This includes an update on the demand for reparations for those who were illegally and forcibly sterilized in California prisons. Our guests are Aminah Elster and Alex Makulit. Aminah Elster is a Campaign and Policy Coordinator with the California Coalition for Women Prisoners where she leads its campaign to end coercive sterilization practices in women's prisons. Alex Makulit is an organizer with US PROS based in the Bay Area.
