Today on Sojourner Truth, after only two weeks in power, the most religious and conservative government in the history of Israel is already cultivating divisions at home and rushing towards conflict with the Palestinians and Israel's allies abroad. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu enters his 16th year in power with an ultra nationalist agenda that includes banning displaying the Palestinian flag and a proposed legal assault on Israel's Supreme Court that could alter the foundations of Israel's democracy. We speak to world renown peace activist and director of the New Internationalism Project at The Institute for Policy Studies, Phyllis Bennis on the situation in Israel. Meanwhile the U.S. enters its 118th Congress with changes across party lines. Representative Hakeem Jeffries was elected to succeed longtime Democratic leader as the House Minority leader. A position held by Rep. Nancy Pelosi for over 20 years. Rep. Nancy Pelosi was also the first woman Speaker of the House in U.S. history, who led the Democratic Party, who held the house majority for four presidential terms. Republicans are now the majority in the house and the process of replacing her with Republican CA Senator Kevin McCarthy turned into a week long saga taking over 15 rounds of votes, until he finally received the 20 votes he needed from his party to be elected, having to make several controversial concessions to far right MAGA Republicans that initially voted vs him. We discuss the imminent danger of these concessions, as well as the aftermath of widespread voter suppression during the 2022 midterm, the shift in the house and of course the ardent speech that has since gone viral, delivered by Representative Hakeem Jeffries as he opened the 2023 118th Congressional session, with civil rights legend, President & Founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition and attorney, Barbara Arnwine.

Today on Sojourner Truth: The closing arguments happen today in the Ahmaud Arbery case. The verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial is being celebrated by white supremacists who see him as a hero. Meanwhile, Black and Brown people are concerned that the message being sent is that it is open season on people of color; and that any white person can shoot and kill a person of color and get away with it by claiming they felt they were under threat. Although the Rittenhouse victims were white people, people of color understand quite well the implications of the ruling. Our guests are Rev. Dr. Monica L. Cummings and Barbara Arnwine. Rev. Dr. Monica L. Cummings is Assistant Minister at Bradford Community Church Unitarian Universalist in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Barbara Arnwine is a veteran civil rights and human rights leader and advocate. She is currently the President & Founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition. For 26 years, she was the Executive Director of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Despite being labeled as extremists and terrorists, and being killed, beaten, met with water cannons, and having their protest camps burned down, farmers in India scored a huge victory against the Modi government. Farmers, formally viewed as illiterate and uneducated, have managed to unite and emerge as a force to be reckoned with, in opposition to Modi. They have established pride in being farmers, with organizational skills that movements around the world can learn from. Women farmers in India were visible in the movement. The farmers worked across movements, including a coming together of farmers and agricultural workers. The farmers' protests were noted around the world and support for the farmers included actions in the UK and the US. Sadly, over 670 farmers have died in the movement, and there are demands that a memorial be set up for them. Our guest is Didi Rossi, who has been key in organizing support in the UK and in other countries for the farmers protests, including helping to plan a victory celebration on Friday November 26, which marks the one year anniversary of the farmers strike. Didi has been in direct contact with farmers and their supporters on the ground in India. She is a member of the Global Women's Strike UK.

The defense has concluded its case in the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial. Congressman Steven Horsford, the 1st Vice-Chair of The Congressional Black Caucus, will be on our show today to discuss the Build Back Better Plan. An Alabama county is the first environmental justice investigation to be conducted by the Justice Department. Lowndes County residents allege Alabama's health department is aware of low-income black residents' burden in accessing safe wastewater-management systems. The family of a black man killed by a Chicago police officer is wondering why he was still on the force with a history of violence and a recommendation to be fired in 2016. In South Carolina, a principal is accused of forcing a 9-year-old to clean a school bathroom with a toothbrush as punishment.   #RolandMartinUnfiltered partners: Nissan | Check out the ALL NEW 2022 Nissan Frontier!

Today on Sojourner Truth: Voting rights campaigners have been frustrated by a lack of action by Congress to restore voter rights, which have been undermined since the 2013 Supreme Court decision that stripped the historic Voting Rights Act won during the Civil Rights Era. Civil Rights leaders have been pressuring President Biden and Congressional Democrats to take urgent action. This, as voter suppression laws are spreading across the United States. The most recent law, a very restrictive one, passed in Texas. In an effort to get something done, Democrats have cut a deal with Blue Dog Democrats (Conservative Democrats), including Joe Manchin. On Tuesday, September 14, eight Senate Democrats joined Manchin to put forth a new voting rights bill named the Freedom to Vote Act. To give reaction to what is happening in this historic fight for voting rights, we speak with voting rights campaigner Barbara Arnwine. An update on the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, where there is a continuing humanitarian crisis, including that of 2,200 unaccompanied children who crossed the border in July. Our guest is Alba Jaramillo, Executive Director of Arizona Justice For Our Neighbors. For our weekly Earth Watch, over 1,000 arrests as Indigenous peoples and environmental campaigners fight to stop logging on Vancouver Island's ancient forests. We speak with Indigenous land defender Rainbow Eyes.

Today on Sojourner Truth: New freedom riders are descending on Washington DC, even as the Rev. William Barber, joint coordinator of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, along with the Rev. Jesse Jackson and other religious leaders, were arrested during civil disobedience. Their cause? The right to vote. On Tuesday, June 22, the Republican Party blocked opening debate on the For the People Act, a key voting rights bill put forward by the Democrats. All members of the Republican Party in the Senate voted against opening debate on the bill, thus killing the legislation. Is there a way forward for those who defend protecting voter rights? What next steps will the movement for the right to vote take next? Our guest is Barbara Arnwine, a veteran civil rights and human rights leader and advocate. She is currently the President & Founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition. Excitement across the country builds as millions of families across the United States will begin receiving monthly child tax credit payments for as high as $300 per child, if they are under 6 years old, $250 per child if they are between 6 and 17 years old. Payments are also available for those whose income is generally too low to pay taxes. Many are hailing this as breakthrough legislation, attacking child poverty on a level not seen since the New Deal. But it is not yet permanent and members of Congress are working on legislation to make sure that Child Tax Credit continues after its one-year mandate as part of the Biden-Harris American Rescue Plan. Today, we hear a presentation delivered by Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, a Democrat of Connecticut, to an audience of income rights campaigners. For our weekly Earth Watch, we speak with Jason Davidson, a Senior Food and Agriculture Campaigner at Friends of the Earth, supporting the Bee Action Campaign.

Today on Sojourner Truth, our annual Juneteenth Special. Our guests are Danny Glover, Barbara Arnwine and Dr. Robin Kelley. On Tuesday, June 15, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that would make Juneteenth a federal holiday. The bill would lead to Juneteenth becoming the 12th federal holiday. It is expected to easily pass the House, which would send it to President Joe Biden for his signature. The Senate passed the bill under a unanimous consent agreement that expedites the process for considering legislation. It takes just one senators objection to block such agreements. In 1862, former President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which had formally released over 3.5 million enslaved Black people in the Confederacy from the grip of slavery. Close to three years later, on June 19, 1865, Union Army General Gordon Granger proclaimed in Galveston, Texas, that all enslaved Black people would now be free. Thus, after Granger issued the proclamation in Galveston, formerly enslaved people began celebrating June 19 as Juneteenth, Freedom Day. Celebrations of Juneteenth began with local gatherings at houses of worship in Texas. Historically, Juneteenth has been celebrated in Black communities across the United States. It is now recognized as a state holiday or special day of observance in 47 states. Today, 156 years after the first proclamation of Juneteenth, Black people in the United States continue to face major challenges because of systemic racism. These include police killings, the rise of white right-wing militias, threats to the right to vote, inequality in healthcare, mass incarceration, children being removed from families and put in foster care or up for adoption because families are poor, homelessness, the loss of land in the U.S. south, and threats to teaching Black and Brown history in schools.

Today on Sojourner Truth, our annual Juneteenth Special. Our guests are Danny Glover, Barbara Arnwine and Dr. Robin Kelley. On Tuesday, June 15, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that would make Juneteenth a federal holiday. The bill would lead to Juneteenth becoming the 12th federal holiday. It is expected to easily pass the House, which would send it to President Joe Biden for his signature. The Senate passed the bill under a unanimous consent agreement that expedites the process for considering legislation. It takes just one senators objection to block such agreements. In 1862, former President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which had formally released over 3.5 million enslaved Black people in the Confederacy from the grip of slavery. Close to three years later, on June 19, 1865, Union Army General Gordon Granger proclaimed in Galveston, Texas, that all enslaved Black people would now be free. Thus, after Granger issued the proclamation in Galveston, formerly enslaved people began celebrating June 19 as Juneteenth, Freedom Day. Celebrations of Juneteenth began with local gatherings at houses of worship in Texas. Historically, Juneteenth has been celebrated in Black communities across the United States. It is now recognized as a state holiday or special day of observance in 47 states. Today, 156 years after the first proclamation of Juneteenth, Black people in the United States continue to face major challenges because of systemic racism. These include police killings, the rise of white right-wing militias, threats to the right to vote, inequality in healthcare, mass incarceration, children being removed from families and put in foster care or up for adoption because families are poor, homelessness, the loss of land in the U.S. south, and threats to teaching Black and Brown history in schools.
