1) Author and long time peace activist Norman Solomon, co-founder of RootsAction.org, talks about his new book, "War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of its Military Machine," and on this 22nd anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the U.S., he'll discuss why he believes it's, "Time to reassess the war on terror."

2) Amanda Moore, a writer and researcher who focuses on far-right extremism, discusses her fascinating new Nation magazine article, "Undercover With the New Alt-Right For 11 months, I pretended to be a far-right extremist. I discovered a radical youth movement trying to infiltrate the Republican Party."

3) Paul Glaze, of the Vote to Stop Cop City Coalition, discusses the RICO indictment of 61 Stop Cop City activists in Atlanta, and other developments in the city-wide referendum campaign to stop construction of the proposed $90 million police training facility on 85 acres of land in a forest southeast of Atlanta.

4) Evan Fritz of the Connecticut chapter of climate activist group 350.org, talks about the upcoming Sunday, Sept. 17th "March to End Fossil Fuels" in New York City, and transportation options to get people to the action being organized by regional climate and environmental groups.
