In the first part of the program Eleanor Goldfield speaks with Maurice Carney, co-founder and Executive Director of Friends of the Congo for this year’s Congo Week. Maurice talks about the situation in the DRC, a vastly underreported human rights crisis perpetrated by Rwanda that incorporates junk food news, media framing, mis and disinformation, and the power of entertaining propaganda to shift the focus from war crimes to basketball, concerts, and even green energy. Maurice highlights the interconnected webs of propaganda from Israel to Rwanda, the billionaire push for Congo’s minerals, and more. Next up, Campaign and Communications Director at the National Homelessness Law Center Jesse Rabinowitz joins the show to discuss the escalating attacks on the unhoused. Jesse points out that homelessness is the result of many failed systems, and how the targeting of the unhoused, much like the targeting of incarcerated, is a test - how much pain and suffering can the system mete out on those who have the least political power? Jesse also notes the dearth of coverage on the criminalization of homelessness, an issue that not only harms everyone in society but could BE anyone in a society where everything from food to housing to healthcare is largely unaffordable.
