WINGS- Women's International News Gathering Service
Violence Against Women Act
Archival coverage regarding the introduction and eventual passage (30 years ago last month) of the federal violence against women act. Sarah McClendon grills then Sen. Joe Biden.
On September 12, 2024, the Biden-Harris administration celebrated 30 years since the passage of the US Violence Against Women Act, with an announcement of new funds and new areas of coverage. Although passed by Congress in 1994, the VAWA bill was first introduced in 1990. From the WINGS archive 1991, here is then-81-year-old Washington reporter Sarah McClendon, interviewing then-49-year-old Senator Joe Biden, about the bill he drafted and introduced in the Senate, and would finally successfully shepherd through. He explains his first realization that the problem existed, and many of the angles to address it written into that bill. A similar version was introduced in the House by Barbara Boxer of California.
The VAWA finally passed in both houses in 1994 and has been renewed - although with stops and starts and amendments - ever since. McClendon opined that Biden's work on this bill would make up for his performance as chair of the Judiciary Committee, when Anita Hill's testimony was dismissed and Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the US Supreme Court.

Out-FM from sister station WBAI
A nearly two-hour fund drive special with an exclusive interview with Mumia Abu-Jamal
a special two-hour, fund-drive edition of Out-FM, WBAI and KPFK's anti-racist LGBTQ-plus program. Youll hear Bob Lederer's exclusive interview with Mumia Abu-Jamal, the brilliant Black revolutionary journalist unjustly serving life in prison without the possibility of parole. It's the first time in Brother Mumia's almost 43 years in prison that he has spoken at length about LGBTQ issues in a public forum. Mumia will describe his decades-long evolution to open solidarity with queer and trans liberation.

In the interview, Mumia covered many fascinating topics, including a deep dive into the day-to-day functioning of the Black Panther Party. Just a few teasers:

In 1970 Black Panther Party (BPP) leader Huey Newton gave groundbreaking public support to the then-strong movements for womens and gay liberation, criticizing homophobia and calling for the BPP to build an alliance with both movements. At the time, Mumia was the 16-year-old Communications Minister of the Philadelphia Chapter of the BPP. A taste of what Mumia told me:

When you think about what Huey said about gay folks and lesbian and queer folks, I must be honest with you, it was not well received by members of the party....But as usual, this was Huey at his finest.

Mumia pays tribute to the women of the BPP, whom he describes as "the glory of the party, the hardest workers, the most disciplined members and leaders." In particular, he cites the key roles of former political prisoners Afeni Shakur, who (although not an attorney) brilliantly self-represented in the Panther 21 conspiracy frameup case -- all were acquitted -- and Ericka Huggins, a BPP leader who beat yet another conspiracy frameup, and whose husband, BPP member John Huggins, along with Bunchy Carter, were murdered in an FBI-induced plot. (Ericka, an out-queer woman who continues her lifelong community activism, has been a periodic guest on Out-FM.)

Mumia explains how his thinking has significantly evolved since 1991, when he responded to a letter from Queers United in Support of Political Prisoners (QUISP) about our then-upcoming lesbian/gay forum to support him, by writing, As a MOVE person, we see Heterosexual Hookups as natural and inherently right, while also thanking and encouraging us to hold the event (we did). This started a long-term dialogue with Mumia by LGBTQ activists nationwide that played a role in his later evolution.

Mumia cites the leading role of the late Delbert Africa, a member of the MOVE 9 (a frameup murder case) and political prisoner for 42 years, in arguing for support of the lesbian and gay community.

Dhoruba Bin Wahad, former Black Panther Political Prisoner

Mumia also mentions the public support for lesbian and gay liberation by yet another ex-political prisoner, former BPP and Black Liberation Army member Dhoruba Bin Wahad. (We'll play a short clip from Dhoruba's powerful 1991 speech at the above-mentioned QUISP event.)

Mumia speaks movingly about his first-hand knowledge of the "hell within a hell" suffered by gay and trans incarcerated men, mistreated by both staff and other prisoners. He mentions having witnessed attempted suicides.

Other components of the special:

A short clip from the film "Manufacturing Guilt: - A Short Film About Mumia Abu-Jamal's Case," by First Run Features.

Two of Mumia's audio commentaries, from 2000 and 2019, decrying the murders of white gay men and Black trans women, respectively, and putting both in the context of a violent, racist society.

A brief excerpt of a recent phone dialogue between Mumia and students who had organized various Palestine/Gaza solidarity encampments, where he answers questions about strategy and tactics to build a strong movement.

What's happening now with Mumia's legal case and the importance of movement organizing to free him and other political prisoners.

What you can do to help free Mumia and demand he (and all incarcerated people) get proper health care and nutrition while he's still held. (For more, visit bit.ly/MAJUpdates.)

“As a Queer Elder of many colors, I walk and live, love and thrive with the Grace, Wisdom and ongoing guidance of our Star Ancestors; the Wisdom passed onto me from Above and the medicine I have gained from the many teachers from all paths that have led me to my own wholeness and peace. I am grateful to offer their messages to us all-through the books that I am asked to write, the voice I still have to speak it into the winds and the spirit that still burns with the fire and passion of one who seeks to contribute to a new journey, a better dream for all women and consequently, for all our Human Tribe.

The urgency of the moment, the world that is at the precipice of a grand transformation has called me to join the hearts and hands of my sisters, who also find themselves being called to act in this NOW moment. Whatever I can do, whatever I can offer, it is my giveaway at this important time. There can be no greater call for me to answer in this season of my life.
The Next generations and those yet to be born require us all to help each other through the fear and intimidation of the FearCallers’ Dark Night of our Collective Soul and to collectively light the way toward the world all women deserve to live in-Free in Body, Mind, Heart and Spirit. Emancipated to own and to be herself; and sovereign enough to be a light in the darkness for another sister, that she too, can be free.”

US Blockade/embargo threatens Cuban electric grid
The devastation of Hurricane Oscar, which hit Cuba on October 18th, has significantly worsened the deep crisis of the island’s electric grid. The U.S. government and its media lackeys are trying to blame the socialist government for supposed mismanagement of the country’s power system, but the reality is that the biggest contributor to the situation is the U.S. blockade of Cuba.

On October 22nd, The People’s Forum published an open letter in the New York Times calling on President Biden to overturn the Trump administration’s anti-Cuba policies. Biden has 90 days left in his term to restore the Obama-era reforms and steps towards normalization that are desperately needed.

Honoring the Power and contribution of multi-racial Women….Especially Now!

Elaine M. Whitefeather shares: “In the winter season of my life, I am honored to offer service to our Greater Sisterhood – at such a time as this. After spending over 4 decades serving women and children around our Mother Earth, I leave behind a path of advocacy, activism and innovative ways of healing and empowering women rooted in the strengths, wisdom and principles of my multi-cultural heritage, the Red, Black, Yellow and White Winds of me that enabled me to walk in the shoes of many women whose journey through and out of abuse and trauma, I share.

"My life’s work has been shaped by the hearts and spirits of women, who honored me with trust and vulnerability as I assisted them toward their own empowerment and emancipation. As a Queer Elder of many colors, I walk and live, love and thrive with the Grace, Wisdom and ongoing guidance of our Star Ancestors; the Wisdom passed onto me from Above and the medicine I have gained from the many teachers from all paths that have led me to my own wholeness and peace.

Julian Assange has been a free man since June, but the issue of his long confinement in a UK prison is still in the news. Recently he testified before the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), and the Council then passed a resolution declaring that Assange could be designated a political prisoner. Independent journalist Kevin Gosztola joins Mickey to examine the implications of the PACE decision.
They also discuss other press-freedom issues, notably the unprecedented death toll among journalists in the Gaza Strip, at the hands of Israeli forces there.
Then Steve Macek looks at foreign campaign spending in US elections, taking note both of its widespread presence as well as the relative lack of interest by corporate media in reporting on the subject. He observes that only occasional stories about individual politicians' potential campaign funding transgressions (such as those of NYC Mayor Eric Adams) make the news, but the system itself is seldom covered

Kevin Gosztola is the editor of the Dissenter newsletter, www.thedissenter.org His book on the Julian Assange case, "Guilty of Journalism," was published in 2023. Steve Macek teaches communications and media studies at North Central College in Illinois. He's also the co-coordinator of Project Censored's Campus Affiliates Program.

Alternative Radio with David Barsamian
Russell Means and the American Indian Movement
David requested that we run this archival episode in honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day. For years the indigenous peoples of the U.S., after having been dispersed and decimated and relegated to reservations, were reduced to caricatures. We all knew Indian cultural stereotypes. There was the familiar medicine man, the trading post, Geronimo and Crazy Horse, papooses and squaws, tepees and tomahawks, war dances and war parties. Tonto was the epitome of faithfulness and subservience. The formation and rise of the American Indian Movement, AIM, in the late 1960s and early 1970s did much to break down these conventional tropes. AIM, through its actions at Wounded Knee, Alcatraz, Mount Rushmore and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, demonstrated that Native Americans could and would fight back against colonialism, racism and oppression.
Russell Means was a renowned activist for Indigenous rights. An Oglala Lakota, he was born on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. He was a founding member of the American Indian Movement and its first national director. His autobiography is Where White Men Fear to Tread. He passed away in 2012.

Alternative Radio, established in 1986, is an award-winning weekly one-hour public affairs program offered free to all public radio stations in the U.S., Canada, Europe and beyond.

Choose To Be Curious
Curiosity and Bio-Diversity
Curiosity, biodiversity, rewilding -- these are the exciting places Carolin Sommer-Trembo Ph.D. takes us today. Carolin Sommer-Trembo PhD is a post-doctoral researcher and evolutionary biologist
Carolin is an evolutionary biologist. Her big goal is to focus attention on animal behavior as it effects evolution and biodiversity. To get there, she has studied curiosity in cichlid fish in Africa's Lake Tanganyika, combining some good old-fashioned field work with exciting new investigative tools, including AI and genetic scissors.
I came to the conversation interested in the curiosity angle, but Carolin's impassioned case for the importance of this basic research to eventually rebuilding vanishing biodiversity -- and the aforementioned "rewilding" -- puts the discussion on another level entirely.
Curiosity doesn't only promote biodiversity, it might just save us all.

We Decide - national Pacifica coverage of the election process
Health Care and Medicare At Issue in the 2024 Elections
Two-hour special looking at issues around health, health care and Medicare as they are being addressed (or not addressed) by candidates in the 2024 elections. This weekly program, focused on issues rather than personalities, was developed by sister stations WBAI in NY and WPFW in Washington DC, and is building towards special national Pacifica coverage on Election night, Nov. 5, with participation from KPFK here in So Cal, KPFT in Houston, TX, and Pacifica affiliates around the country, including in such "swing states" as Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina, as well as from Florida.
Following the Medicare discussion, they check in with our Pacifica affiliate in Asheville North Carolina to see just how that region is doing in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. They discuss the facts around FEMA recovery and relief efforts as opposed to social media lies, and issues around whether Congressmembers in the affected states supported funding for FEMA, as well as the role of radio in such crises.
While most of the US labor union movement has lined up behind the Harris-Walz ticket, the national Teamsters and Firefighters opted to stay neutral. We Decide talks with noted labor historian Joshua Freeman about organized labor's role in the election. Jenna Flanagan hosts.

He says the ruler of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, has already carried genocidal attacks on the Armenians, driving many from their homes and land, and global institutions must take action.
     Then Chip Gibbons returns to the program, to describe the unprecedented death toll among journalists in the Gaza Strip, which in one year has exceeded number of journalists who were killed in WW II or the Vietnam War. He says there is abundant evidence that Israeli forces are deliberately targeting reporters, and asks what's become of the supposed US support for press freedom.

Caroline Casey the Visionary Activist
Voting for the Earth Radio
We be voting for the earth- in our Fund Drive while answering Antonio Machado’s query “What have we done with the garden entrusted to us?!”
We are available to Mystery & Willing to Participate! Woofing the dedicated work of Seán Pádraig O’Donoghue
and John Perlin…
So, deftly, once again to guide us, be Seán Pádraig O’Donoghue, with his latest book The Silver Branch and the Otherworld: Forest Magic with Plant and Fungi Allies.
“Braiding together insights from herbalism, ecology, neurobiology, psychology, Irish history, and magical tradition, Seán Pádraig O’Donoghue shows how we can tap into the flow of communication from the wild world and our ancestral traditions.”
Seán is a poet and herbalist living in western Maine in the shadow of a chain of mountains that stretch south to Georgia and north and east across the sea to Ireland and Scotland. He guides individuals in finding better ways to connect with the living world along their journeys toward healing, insight, meaning, and liberation. With compassionate listening and deeply intuitive insights, Seán works with clients to identify the patterns they want to shift in their lives. Then, he shares perspectives and strategies with them for connecting with plants, ancestors, and the land as allies in transformation. https://otherworldwell.com/
Then Caroline re-welcomes John Perlin, whose prodigious “A Forest Journey,” re-published by Patagonia, is our primary magnetizing pledge incentive for today!
How did we get here? this mega-crisis.. and what shall we do?
Radio Magic…to honor Symbiotic Mutualism… How can we humbly receive guidance from the forest regarding community…
To protect what we love, become like it, adapt its qualities…
To protect wolves – become more like wolves.
To protect Coyotes – adopt Coyote strategy. (I have lived with actual Coyote and Wolf Dog, longer than have lived with humans.
They certainly taught me a thing or two… all a negotiation for reciprocal evolutionary benefit…)
To protect water, become as water. To protect the forest …
“Retaining our forests can help keep resolve climate crisis protect the integrity of many of our streams and rivers, and continue to provide food and shelter for much of the world’s land animals,” says Perlin, author of four books and former physics professor at University of California, Santa Barbara. “It is my hope that the new edition of A Forest Journey will make clear the imperative humanity faces, because losing our forests would not merely be the end of nature, it could mean the end of us.”
John Perlin is the author of four books: A Golden Thread: 2500 Years of Solar Architecture and Technology; A Forest Journey: A History of Trees and Civilization; From Space to Earth: The Story of Solar Electricity; and Let It Shine: The 6000-Year Story of Solar Energy. Perlin taught physics at University of California, Santa Barbara. He lives in Santa Barbara. https://john-perlin.com/
