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.

“In the midst of our grief and pain, let’s remind each other who we are.” .

These are the words of Stefanie Fox, executive director of Jewish Voice for Peace. She goes on: “We are people committed to tikkun olam, the repairing of the world. The Israeli government and U.S. government are justifying massive atrocities, tearing this world further apart, and doing so in the names of us and our beloved families. When we say never again, it includes Palestinians, and it means right now.”

Israel had the perfect plan for Gaza - in fact, for all Palestinians, when it decided to redeploy its forces around the Occupied Gaza Strip in 2005.

 Despite statements made, back then, by Israeli officials that the 'disengagement' plan aimed at severing Israel's legal and other responsibilities from its role as an Occupier, the actual story was different.

City Hall

Protestors filled the Columbus City Council chambers at their October 16 meeting to denounce their silence on the genocide of Palestinian people and support for the government of Israel. There were so many protestors most were turned away at the door since the building was “at capacity,” although that turned out not to be true.
