1) Kevin Martin, President of Peace Action and the Peace Action Education Fund, the nation’s largest grassroots peace network with chapters and affiliates in states across the U.S., talks about what his and other anti-war groups are doing to oppose Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu's illegal war in Iran and Lebanon, action being taken to pressure Congress to invoke the War Powers Act, and how listeners can get involved.

2) Rebecca Roberts, a member and current Organizing Manager of the group About Face: Veterans Against the War, discusses the work she and others do at About Face providing guidance and advice to active-duty U.S. military servicemen and women navigating their rights of conscience, and seeking conscientious objector status during the current illegal U.S. war on Iran.

3) Saru Jayaraman is co-founder and President of One Fair Wage; Director of the Food Labor Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley, and author – her latest book is titled, “One Fair Wage: Ending Subminimum Pay in America.” She’ll talk about the Next 250 national mobilization coinciding with the U.S. 250th anniversary, where a massive gathering is planned in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, June 27th, grounded in a Declaration of Interdependence to elevate historically excluded voices and build a forward looking civic agenda rooted in shared responsibility and democratic participation.

4) Steve Phillips is host of the Democracy in Color podcast and best-selling author of “Brown Is the New White” and “How We Win the Civil War.” He’ll talk about his new book, “Are White Men Smarter Than Everybody Else?” observing that just six years after the racial reckoning that followed the murder of George Floyd, America is witnessing a full-scale assault on equality unparalleled since the overthrow of Reconstruction, while offering a powerful offensive strategy to combat resurgent white supremacy.
