COVID cases are skyrocketing. Additional support for parents, the elderly, and children? Abandoned. Climate change? Getting more horrific by the moment. Prof. Jodi Dean, professor of Political Science at Hobart and William Smith Colleges and author of several books, joins us to break down the last year – and what it will take to advance progressive change. ALSO: Stacy Davis Gates, Executive Vice President of Chicago Teachers Union, joins the show to discuss the fight for safe school conditions for students, communities, and families. CTU members were locked out of virtual instruction by the city earlier this month, and four days’ pay was taken from them. Since then CTU has struck back, winning many of their demands, but the fight for a safe learning environment is far from over FINALLY: We discuss the often-overlooked, but globally important, trial of Ola Bini, the software developer, activist, and friend of Julian Assange, who after nearly three years of waiting in Ecuador, is finally starting. Then-Ecuadorian Interior Minister Maria Paula Romo said at the time of his arrest that he was “collaborating” with Wikileaks and Julian Assange. Zoe Alexandra, journalist and co-editor of Peoples Dispatch, covering social movements and left politics in Latin America and the Caribbean, sheds light on the case and trial. » Become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/BreakThroughNews» Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BTnewsroom » Tweet us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BTnewsroom » Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/btnewsroom/ At Breakthrough News we believe in the power of independent media. Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. They control the news cycle, to which social media and even most “alternative” media is forced to respond. We are breaking through that cycle. We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time. People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through. We can be that media arm, but only with your help. Become a Patron and join us on the front lines in the battle of ideas.
