may 18,2017 CALENDAR ouTdooRs our annual issue call our office to advertise 541.484.0519 Renowned independent radio journalist/author David Barsamian Speaks “Resistance in the Age of Trump” Award-winning founder and director of Alternative Radio, the independent weekly audio series featured on 300 stations. One of America’s most wide-ranging and respected independent journalists, David has altered the media landscape with his radio programs and books with Noam Chomsky, Tariq Ali, Howard Zinn, Edward Said, Arundhati Roy and others. Wall Street likes what it sees in the 45th president. We the people like what we see in the resistance movement: efforts to protect progressive populist programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, municipal bodies declaring their jurisdictions to be “sanctuary cities”, a ramped up environmentalism, and a growing internationalist sentiment. As Joe Hill said, “Don’t Mourn. Organize.” Trump has raised the stakes. The People are responding. Yes, we’re in for quite a ride. But a broad coalition in opposition is growing. WED.
