GREE-GREE # 153 begins with the great WENDI LEDERMAN’s harrowing accounts of gathering signatures for Florida’s pro-choice referendum.  

You can’t hear these stories without worrying for the lives of those pounding the pavement for what’s left of our democracy.

RUTH STRAUSS and JUSTIN LEBLANC join in the dialog on this incredibly important life/death isue.

Ohio’s RACHEL COYLE explains the astounding “you can’t make this stuff up” madness that’s overtaken the Buckeye State on the issues of abortion, pot, democracy and more.

At a key moment she connects with the great RAY MCCLENDON, hopefully leading to more grassroots democracy in the swing state heartland.

STEVE CARUSO and SANDY BOLZENIUS also report in from Columbus with the latest mich-a-gass.

Wendi then reports again, this time about the hideous Cop City project in Atlanta with a terrible fascistic crack-down on the basic rights of pro-democracy protestors.
