Radio Free Occupy

Radio Free Occupy
Wed, 4/11/2012

Let's face it: most of the press coverage of the Occupy Movement has not only been misinformed, but false. So a few of us with writing, speaking and audio skills created RadiOWS, a free form radio show produced by NYC Occupiers and airing on the Pacifica Network. Our goal is to amplify the message and voices of the movement through reliable news coverage, thoughtful discussion, original music, skits and whatever else we can think of to inspire, amuse and engage our listeners. We don't mind if the end result is fun to listen to; in an era where American pop culture often creates apathy, we hope to inspire the opposite.

Here we present our first show, starring the home mortgage and foreclosure crisis. Guest speakers include Jesse LaGreca, Captain Ray Lewis and Danny Schechter, among others. Our shows are free-format, which means you can pretty much start listening from any point in the show. Tune in to your local Pacifica station for our next show starring the one and only May Day!

Traditional media has failed us. We have to create our own. That's why you're here on Occupy.com. If you're good with audio and want to submit a segment to RadiOWS, contact us.

prison reform, incarceration rates, private prisons, for-profit prisons, white supremacy, enslavement, climate justice, racial justice, Green New Deal

The year 2020 has caused many white people to realize we live in a racist system. The Green New Deal is about systemic change for all, and deconstructing racism must be front and central in this agenda.

By infecting three of the world’s most right-wing leaders, the coronavirus underscored not only the incompetence and irresponsibility of their governments – but the truth that their brand of populism doesn't keep people safe.

COVID-19, corporate bailouts, corporate welfare, corporate destruction

Corporations are not "too big to fail" and, when they commit crimes, they are not "too big to jail." As David Whyte writes in his new book, "Ecocide: Kill the Corporation Before It Kills Us," the moment is now to rein in out-of-control corporate power.

The world has lost an incredible thinker and doer. I have lost an amazing friend. A void exists where before it was filled with David's optimism, humour and joy.

Kevin Zeese speaks at a rally for Chelsea Manning. By Ellen Davidson.

Kevin fought to bring truth every day. We must not lose this struggle.
