Ellen Bravo, Antonia Juhasz & Tracie Washington, and Tax Day
April 19, 2011"What's at stake is whether assaults on working people will prevail," says Ellen Bravo, who fought with the Family Values @ Work Consortium to get paid sick leave for Milwaukee's workers only to see it banned in the state legislature--and the ban broadened to include the entire state. Meanwhile, to heighten the already tense situation in that state, Sarah Palin was there this weekend to speak to a Tea Party crowd.Antonia Juhasz & Tracie Washington: One Year Later, BP's Oil Still There

The food safety bill that just passed Congress puts some safety standards back into the U.S. food system, but does it do anything to change the ability of poor folks to buy healthy food? Raj Patel points out that when wages are kept low and work is devalued, it doesn't matter how cheap food is; people won't be able to afford it.Raj Patel & David Kirby, Lasting Scars, and Marjorie Ingall
