1) Samer Badawi is a Palestinian-American writer and a contributor to +972 Magazine, and covered Israel's 2014 Operation Protective Edge from Gaza and the West Bank. He'll discuss his recent Progressive magazine article, "Most Americans Support a Ceasefire in Gaza, So Why Don’t Our Elected Officials,?" and share his reflections on the Biden administration's support for Israel's indiscriminate bombing of Gaza, which only recently seems to be shifting.

2) Christopher Pearson, Secretary of the group National Popular Vote, previously served five terms in Vermont's State House and three in the State Senate. He'll discuss NPV's work advocating for a national popular vote, and concern about a recent poll finding that "that the candidate winning the most popular votes nationwide in the 2024 presidential election would likely lose the presidency -- repeating what happened when Donald Trump was elected under the same circumstances in 2016."

3) Dr. Dana Elborno, MD, who is an Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology physician practicing in Illinois talks about her recent Truthout article, "US Palestinians Feel Helpless as Our Tax Dollars Fund Our Families’ Destruction," and how our listeners can help politically, and through support of groups sending humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.

4) Michael Zweig, author and emeritus professor of economics and founding director of the Center for Study of Working Class Life at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, talks about his new book, "Class, Race, and Gender: Challenging the Injuries and Divisions of Capitalism," written for people who want to better understand the underlying connections among today’s social justice movements.
