This week the inhumane anti-abortion bill Texas SB8 went into effect, offering up to $10,000 for private citizens to sue abortion providers providing abortions after 6 weeks. As abortion whistleblowers ask for anonymous tips on “illegal” abortions, netizens have flooded the anonymous tip forms with inappropriate photos and trolled these groups mercilessly. Executive Editor of ReWIRE News, Jessica Mason PIeklo, joins the show to talk about what a post-Roe society may look like, and why we need a militant grassroots women's movement to protect all women's rights. In Louisiana, hurricane Ida made landfall and devastated the community on the 16th anniversary of Katrina. This climate catastrophe puts the disparities of class in stark privilege as wealthier residents turned on their generators while low-income residents saw their houses flooded by another brutal hurricane. Miriam Belblidia, Director of Research and Advocacy at Imagine Water Works, joins the show to discuss how climate crises are felt differently across class boundaries, and what must be done to stop the climate crisis.In Suffolk County, Long Island a bill has been introduced by local legislators to make police a "protected human rights class." This is one of many of these bills aiming to pervert human rights law to give more unrestricted power to police in the U.S. Joining the show to discuss this bill and the state of the police brutality movement is Nia Adams, organizer with Justice League NYC and the Long Island Progressive Coalition.

This week, we have a special episode of the FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Ausar Ra Black Hawk where DJ Fusion interviewed YoNasDa Lonewolf (aka Queen YoNasDa), organizer for the upcoming national & international “Hip-Hop 4 Flint” community-based fundraising events & concerts throughout the month of March and April 2015. Information via the official Hip-Hop 4 Flint Press Release: “On Saturday, March 19, 2016, 52 cities around the world will participate in a global fundraising initiative in solidarity and support for the people of Flint, Michigan. The effort will bring together the hip-hop community in partnership with a non-profit, Prince of Peace Missionary Baptist Church. Hip-Hop 4 Flint will gather local, national, and international hip-hop artists, journalists, activists, educators and supporters to raise funds to purchase water filters for homes in Flint, MI. This event is being led by YoNasDa Lonewolf, emcee, published writer, and activist who focuses her work on human rights, indigenous rights, and social justice. YoNasDa was the creator of Hip-Hop 4 Haiti and an executive committee member of Justice or Else!, the 20th Anniversary of the Million Man March, led by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. In 2014, while the city was under the control of a state appointment emergency manager, the city switched its water source from Lake Huron to the Flint River. The city saw a sharp increase in lead levels that were well above the EPA’s standards of safety, exposing the city’s 9,000 children to water that was classified as toxic waste. This city deemed the water unfit for consumption and declared a citywide state of emergency. To help address the situation, the Hip-Hop 4 Flint coalition will host a global fundraising event on March 19, 2016, to raise funds to purchase home water filtration systems for residents that will filter both lead and bacteria throughout the entire home, making the water safe for both consumption and washing. Each city will gather their leaders and youth in the hip-hop community to host an event to collect monetary donations to purchase water filters. All donations will go towards the purchase of filters which will be delivered personally, home by home, to the residents of Flint by the Hip-Hop 4 Flint delegation. Hip-Hop 4 Flint will bring together notable hip-hop artists such as Mysonne,Nappy Roots, GLC of G.O.O.D. Music, Rahzel the Beatboxer, Kaleena from Love & Hip-Hop, Jon Connor of Aftermath, Hakim Green from Channel Live, Du “Doitall” Kelly of the Legendary Lords of the Underground, and local artists from each city to join hearts and hands in support of the people of Flint. Events will take place simultaneously in Flint, Detroit, and Grand Rapids, MI, New York City (taking place on March 22nd) and Long Island, NY, Chicago, Bloomington and Peoria, IL, Philadelphia, Newark, NJ (taking place on April 2nd), Baltimore, Atlanta, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and West Palm Beach, FL, Dakar, Senegal, Toronto and Montreal, Canada, Boston, New Bedford, and Springfield, MA, Charlotte, Winston-Salem and Durham, NC, Providence, Bisbee and Phoenix, AZ, Washington, D.C., Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, TX, Oklahoma City, New Orleans, St. Louis and Kansas City, MO, Little Rock, Los Angeles and San Diego, CA, Cincinnati and Columbus, OH, Hampton and Richmond, VA, Greenville, SC, Memphis and Nashville, TN, Denver, Bridgeport, CT, Montgomery, AL, Portland, OR, and Hawaii and will be streamed online via UStream and broadcast through media partnerallhiphop.com and Stagehound TV.

Justice League NYC says, “We are proud to partner with YoNasDa and other organizers across the country for Hip-Hop 4 Flint. We have been working very closely with the people of Flint and understand the urgency of the disaster. An collaboration like Hip-Hop 4 Flint will get much-needed supplies to families who are in dire need.” To help the cause, we have partnered with emcees OCKZ, SKYZOO, and QUADIR LATEEF who will donate 20% of the proceeds from the "Rise Up" iTunes single to #HIPHOP4FLINT - the single sells for $.99 on iTunes.
