This week on Talk World Radio we are talking about a new book called WE THE POISONED: Exposing the Flint Water Crisis Coverup and the Poisoning of 100,000 Americans. Our guest is the author Jordan Chariton. The book, with a foreword by Erin Brokovitch, is devastating and not just about one town in Michigan but about the United States and beyond, and not just about something in the past, as the outrage is ongoing.

She is based in the United States, but is often elsewhere. Kathy is WBW’s second Board President, taking over for Leah Bolger. Kathy’s efforts to end wars have led her to living in war zones and prisons over the past 35 years. In 2009 and 2010, Kathy was part of two Voices for Creative Nonviolence delegations which visited Pakistan to learn more about the consequences of U.S. drone attacks. From 2010 – 2019, the group organized dozens of delegations to visit Afghanistan, where they continued learning about casualties of U.S. drone attacks. Voices also helped organize protests at U.S. military bases operating weaponized drone attacks. She is now a co-coordinator of the Ban Killer Drones campaign.
