The Grassroots is essential
You can also find previous episodes on YouTube here.
This morning I wrote a blog post titled “Wealth is devoured at the top while the rest of us create it.” To be clear I sort of ripped off the title from Rutger Bergman’s Guardian article titled “No, wealth isn’t created at the top. It is merely devoured there.” It is a must read. Most importantly, not only did it get one’s blood boiling, it illustrates the trail ahead for our burgeoning massive grassroots movement.
And today, I have Indivisible TX-02 in the studio. Their leaders will tell us what part they will play in helping right the ship. They will tell us about a special event they are having tomorrow where you can make a difference.
Later on, we will hear from Jerroll Sanders who immediately challenged Donald Trump’s election that made it all the way to the Supreme Court. She will illustrate how any individual can make a difference on the grassroots level and the perils that can occur when grassroots organizations take their eyes off of the ball.
I want to give a shoutout to TaxMarchHouston.com. They want you to know the following. “We are demanding: Trump’s complete taxes, transparency, and accountability from government officials. T-shirts are available now. TaxMarchHouston.com Join us Saturday, April 15th. March alongside our 13-foot Trump chicken at Houston City hall.”
I want to remind our listeners that we are in our Spring Fund Drive. But do not despair, Politics Done Right will be discussing our current politics even as we remind you periodically to call Pledge Central at (713)526-5738.
KPFT 90.1 FM Houston is the only Progressive radio station that covers the entire Southeast Texas. We broadcast Politics Done Right throughout the entire nation with prescient topics via our Facebook Live broadcasts and Podcasts.
Since the election of Donald Trump, many of us have rebranded our (your) station, KPFT 90.1 FM Resistance Radio. We understand that it is up to us to make a difference. We cannot depend on the corporatized mainstream media to tell the stories of the middle-class and the poor. They will not educate the masses because it is anathema to maintaining their preeminent being. And that is where we come in. If we want a better country, if we want better health care, if we want better and affordable schools, if we want worthwhile retirements, then we must ensure that the Progressive media, resistance radio remain viable.
I am asking you that you support KPFT 90.1 FM Resistance Radio today. Join our family and know that you are responsible for turning Texas and the rest of the nation into a humane and Progressive state. Help KPFT 90.1 FM with its $240,000 Spring Fund Dr.
We must keep Resistance Radio on air. Please CONTRIBUTE NOW to support Progressive media. All radio hosts volunteer their time and support. All contributions go directly to KPFT 90.1 FM securely.
