| | 12/17/2006 This Week We're Live at KFCF in Fresno... | | In our first hour...
The City of Fresno has one of the largest homeless populations in the nation. In response, the City has taken some controversial actions, including bulldozing homeless encampments.
Recently, the ACLU filed suit against the city, and a judge ordered a preliminary injunction against the city's practice of seizing the property of homeless people. But, that's only temporary, and doesn't solve the real problem: hundreds perhaps thousands of people in Fresno have no housing.
Our guests:
Pam Kincaid is the lead plaintiff in the ACLU suit, and is homeless.
Michael Risher is an ACLU Staff Attorney.
Jeremy Weir Alderson is the director of the Homelessness Marathon. He'll host the 10th annual marathon from the KFCF studios in February.
Mike Rhodes, editor, Fresno's Community Alliance, http://www.fresnoalliance.com.
| | 12/17/2006 This Week We're Live at KFCF in Fresno... | | In our Second Hour...
The Central Valley Agriculture industry is hugely lucrative. That is, it's lucrative for the few people who own the highly industrialized farms, dairies, feedlots, and egg production facilities.
But, the industry couldn't run without workers. And for them, the agriculture industry doesn't mean wealth. Farm workers face long hours, poverty wages, a lack of health insurance, a lack of access to healthful foods, and in far too many cases death.
Our guests:
Los Angeles times writer, Mark Arax. Read a recent piece by Mark on Central Valley Farm Workers here.
Monica Chavez, a farmworker and advocate from California Rural Legal Assistance http://www.crla.org.
Silas Shawver, staff attorney with California Rural Legal Assistance.
UC Berkeley specialist on natural-resource dependent workers and communities, Christy Getz, who conducted a recnet survey on a lack of access to healthful foods for farmworkers in the Central Valley.
| | 12/10/2006 Live From the KPFA Crafts & Music Fair | | In our first hour...
Interviews with artists, craftspersons, and musicians participating in KPFA's 36th Annual Crafts & Music Fair.
Plus, Jeff Cohen, founder of, and reporter for Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (www.fair.org) will stop by to talk about The Iraq Study Group Report released this week, the confirmation of former CIA Director Robert Gates to succeed Donald Rumsfeld as Defense Secretary and more. Cohen's the author of the recent book, "Cable News Confidential."
After the show, at 2:00 pm, Sunday Salon host Larry Bensky will moderate a discussion between Cohen, and former UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter at the College of Marin in Kentfield. More information about that event can be found here: http://www.mpjc.org.
