016 - People Rise Up Radio EXCLUSIVE Kit O'Connell on Stand With Texas Women by Todd Occupy Downing published on 2016-01-29T02:18:22Z Originally aired 9/2/2013 EXCLUSIVE: Interview with Kit O'Connell in two parts. Part I (first hour) - Moral Monday's anti-ALEC action in Chicago. Part II (second hour) - Rise Up Tx... Report on the historic fight to save women's rights and health care for the poor in Texas and how the people were met with disdain and betrayal by the "professional" left. Especially Democrats who tried to snitchjacketing activists, break up protests, and use the whole occasion for little more than a fund raiser for Wendy Davis and the DNC. Even though it was actions by the people (actions they were told by the "professional" left NOT to take) that got national media attention - it was the pros like Planned Parenthood and Democrats who swooped in and took ALL the credit. http://firedoglake.com/author/kitoconnell/ http://kitoconnell.com/ @KitOConnell Song by Anne Feeney "Have You Been To Jail For Justice?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGUCUtCCIhU NEWS CounterSpin - Focus on War On Syria in the mainstream press. http://fair.org/ Excerpt - George Carlin on war THIS WEEK IN THE PEOPLE'S HISTORY THIS WEEK IN THE PEOPLE'S UPRISING - *Special Focus* #CAPrisonerHungerStrikers NEXT WEEK IN THE PEOPLE'S UPRISING Part 1 (0:54:00) - Interview with Kit O'Connell - Moral Monday's anti-ALEC action in Chicago Opinion - one person's opinion on why the US should stay out of Syria. #NoWarOnSyria #NoWarWithSyria Part 2 (1:18:00) Interview with Kit O'Connell - How The Professional Left Fought Against Those Standing Up For Texas Women. #RiseUpTX #UnrulyMobTX #StandWithTXWomen Song - War Pigs by Black Sabbath http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc0BqXN9BKw News, interviews & resistance culture (incl comedy, music, poetry, discussions) global struggles, actions & movements.
