Rustbelt Radio

Pittsburgh Indymedia's weekly radio program featuring news from the grassroots, news overlooked by the corporate media.

One of my favorite websites has a great radio show RUSTBELT RADIO.
Pittsburgh Indymedia's weekly radio program featuring news from the grassroots, news overlooked by the corporate media.

On this week's show...

• Thousands march nationwide on May Day for immigrant rights and an end to raids and deportations
• Environmental justice organizers kick off Biojustice 2007 in Boston
• Media Minutes gives this week's report on the intersection of media and democracy
• an interview with Staughton Lynd on Ohio's Supermax prison in Youngstown and the history of the Lucasville uprising

BTW I first met Staughton Lynn when we use to go to Tri-State Conference On Steel meetings.
Staughton is a real radical Lawyer that helped Local 1397 USWA open the books in court against United States Steel to find out what they planned to do with the Fed Money that was earmarked for air pollution control at The Homestead Works. They wanted to use the money to build a new mill in Erie Pa. The lawsuit put a stop to that. Staughton was at Yale with Howard Zinn.
