Paper Tiger Television Presents: Resisting the Empire 09/14/2016

Resisting the Empire critiques the media's coverage of the War in Iraq (Gulf War II). Produced by the Paper Tiger TV collective in the spring of 2003 soon after the US invasion of Iraq in response to the lack of alternative perspectives on the war available through the mainstream media. This production provides a brief history of US foreign policy and military involvement abroad, looks at the corporate media's inadequate coverage of the peace movement and resistance to the war, deconstructs flashy techniques used to illustrate military intervention on the major networks and gives some information on how to get involved in activism for peace in your own community.

Movement to Save Our Democracy 03/16/2016

Host Lauren-Glenn Davitian is joined by Rick Hubbard, Vermont Coordinator for Democracy Spring and Democracy Awakening events scheduled for April of 2016, Joanna Cummings, Concerned Citizen, and Ben Clark, Middlebury College Student and Organizer, to share event information and the movement that aims to save our democracy.

On April 2, the Democracy Spring march will begin at the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia and march to the steps of the U.S. Capitol in Washington. More than 2,000 people have pledged to join the protest and risk arrest between April 11-18 in what is hoped to be the largest act of civil disobedience in a generation with the hope of opening the door to reforms once considered impossible and reclaim democracy. On April 16-18, Democracy Awakening will continue the event with teach-ins, sit-ins, and more.
