On May 24, 1990, a car bomb ripped through environmental and labor organizer Judi Bari's car nearly killing her and her comrade Darryl Cherney. Bari and Cherney were part of Earth First's Headwaters campaign and had fought long and hard to stop clear-cutting redwood forests in Northern California by ravenous timber companies. They were organizing a campaign that summer called "Redwood Summer" that had planned to do mass action against logging. The F.B.I. and the Oakland police immediately arrested Bari and Cherney as the culprits in their own bombing. Judi Bari passed away from cancer in 1997. In 2002, Bari (posthumously) and Cherney won a $4.4 million lawsuit against the F.B.I. and the Oakland PD for violating their civil rights. May 24 is now an official holiday in the city of Oakland. In our latest episode, we talk with Earth First! organizer Karen Pickett (@KP4redwoods), a close friend and comrade of Bari and Cherney, about Earth First!, the Northern California timber wars, Judi Bari's role as environmental and labor organizer, the bombing and the subsequent lawsuit. Bio// Karen Pickett has been a grassroots activist for over 40 years. She is a founder and Director of the Bay Area Coalition for Headwaters, Biocentric Media Inc. and other organizations. She has been part of Earth First! for decades. **NOTE: If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, please come out to the Judi Bari Day event at East 34th St. and Park Blvd. in Oakland at 11:30am on Friday, May 24th. --------------------------------- Outro- "The FBI Stole My Fiddle" by Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney Links// +The Judi Bari Website: http://www.judibari.org/ +Zinn Education Project: Judi Bari's Car Bombed (https://bit.ly/3yDJ2RS) Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/yYsmTEkd) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

In today’s news cycle it’s challenging keeping up with the latest developments around the world. In 2014 we saw pro-democracy protests spanning 75 days in Hong Kong to the Black Lives Matter movement in the U.S. Often we just get the stories when they first break, then once the height of a conflict diminishes or really when another issue surfaces to the top of the news cycle, that’s it. After that we don’t hear much more about the issue. Even though we know that the issues remain. On today’s show we’re going to bring you an update on some of the stories we’ve covered this year. We’ll go to a protest to talk to advocates calling for an end to using Native American imagery and stereotypes in sports. We’ll talk to the Center for Food Safety about the political outlook for supporters of better regulations of GMOs and pesticides. And we’ll get an update on US immigration policy from the National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Featuring Alice Ollstein, radio producer Suzan Shown Harjo, Cheyenne and Hodulgee Muscogee advocate for American Indian rights Morning Star Gali, co-chair of Bay Area Coalition to End Racism in Sports Jacqueline Keeler, founding member of Eradicating Offensive Native Mascotry Don Tipping, Seven Seeds Farm owner Chris Hardy, Rogue valley farmer Sylvia Wu, staff attorney at Center for Food Safety Catherine Tactaquin, Executive Director of the National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights.
