An Activist Interview


Fighting the Good Fight from BillMoyers.com on Vimeo.

It was a great talk by Dr. Friedman last night with a large crowd of 70. The outrage was definitely there.  A video by Julie Sokolow will be forthcoming of the talk. Posted here is an interview with former Green Party Presidential Candidate Jill Stein and Physician Margaret Flowers on how to use the information gained from researchers like Friedman and this site.

Truth, Rock and Revolution Tour 2012 Begins Jan 5


Article

Go to a demonstration or protest gathering in and around the ‘Burgh’ – for universal single-payer healthcare, a union for UPMC employees, against the shutdown of Braddock Hospital, against the endless wars overseas, alerting the public to the dangers of hydraulic fracking in the Marcellus Shale
region, memorials commemorating workers killed on the job – chances are Mike Stout will be there, with guitar in hand, rallying and firing up the troops.
From the steel mill shutdowns and food bank formations of the 1980s to the present day battles of poor and working people, for more than 30 years Mike’s music has chronicled these struggles, as well as the heroes and heroines who have led these fights for social and economic justice. And after 13 CDs, 9 tours of Europe and 125 songs later, this musical ever-ready battery just keeps on ticking.
His upcoming 2013 Tour will begin Jan. 5 at Southside’s Club Café, take him through a Quaker High School in eastern Ohio, Detroit and Ann Arbor in March, Lexington Kentucky, Washington DC in April, Philadelphia on May Day and Germany in late May, peppered with appearances in and around the
Burgh that are yearly staples, such as Workers Memorial Day on April 28 in Market Square.
His band of seasoned Pittsburgh musicians and vocalists not only put on a hell of a show, with superb craftsmanship and intricate harmonies, but raise funds for needy causes and organizations, ranging over the years from the Pgh. Community Food Bank and Just Harvest, to the Thomas Merton Center and Healthcare4allpa. The Jan. 5 Club Café Show will pass the buckets for “Water For the
Woodlands,” an area of Butler County with more than a dozen families and households whose water has been poisoned with the advent of hydraulic fracking nearby, and who have no source of clean water for
drinking and bathing.
Doors Open 6 PM - Show Time 7 PM
Club Cafe on the Southside
56-58 South 12 Street, Pittsburgh, Pa
