Today on Sojourner Truth: In Christchurch, New Zealand, families have begun to bury their dead. This, after the March 15 attack on two mosques that left 50 men, women and children dead. Twenty-nine people remain in the hospital, eight of whom are in critical condition. The suspect who was arrested is a white supremacist. He left behind a manifesto; a racist rant in which he said Donald Trump was good for white nationalists, though he also criticized Trump on policy issues. The Al Noor Mosque, one of the two involved in the hate crime, had previously been attacked by white nationalists, who have a stronghold in the city despite reports claiming the opposite. A pigs head was delivered to the mosque in March 2016. While Donald Trump is denying the rise of white nationalism, data shows the opposite. There have been increases in hate crimes, including Islamophobia, anti-Black racism as well as anti-semitism. Although in the latter, anti-semitism has been incorrectly conflated with anti-Zionism. Our guest is Ali Abunimah, Director of Electronic Intifada, an independent online news publication focusing on Palestine. The latest on Venezuela, where the administration of Donald Trump has intensified its push for regime change. The ongoing push for a coup has faltered and sputtered, thus far failing to oust democratically-elected President Nicolas Maduro and his ruling progressive government. Nonetheless, the U.S. and its allies still continue to target both the government and the people of Venezuela with economic sanctions, political attacks and infrastructure. Dozens of social activists and journalists from the United States have participated in delegations to Venezuela, meeting with people there and spreading the truth about whats really going on. Our guest is Elizabeth Blaney, co-founder of the Union de Vecinos organization of neighborhood committees, who was recently on the ground in Venezuela with a delegation. An update on Haiti. Beginning in July 2018, mass protests erupted across the country, demanding that the U.S.-backed and installed government step down. Rather than stepping down, President Jovenel Moise has forced out two prime ministers. But, protests are continuing. Our guest is Maud Jean-Michel, a well-known organizer in the Haitian diaspora community. She has been the host of the very popular radio programs Pawol Fanm or Women Voices for nearly twenty years and more recently Sewom Patriyotik. Lastly, our weekly Earth Minute.
