Corporate Media, Imperialism, People’s Power

 

On May 6, 2018, the excellent grassroots media project acTVism Munich organized an event with Glenn Greenwald, Jill Stein and Abby Martin called “Freedom & Democracy: Global Issues in Context 2.0″ in Munich, Germany.

In an interview with organizer Zain Raza, Abby explains her trajectory as an anti-war activist turned professional journalist for RT America, the inverted reality in America where criticism of the government is smeared as Russian propaganda, her critique of corporate media and passion for a free media; and why her current work centers through the lens of US Empire.

View the entire event including excellent interviews with Jill Stein and Glenn Greenwald and an audience question and answer session at the end.

 

Freedom & Democracy: Global Issues in Context 2.0

In 2016, more than 50 bills were introduced in Congress targeting Trans people. Since Trump took office, dozens of pieces of landmark legislation have been cancelled, severely rolling back Trans rights. To explore this wide-ranging assault, Abby Martin speaks with two leading voices and activists in the Trans community: Chase Strangio, attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, and Jennicet Gutiérrez, founding member of La Familia: Trans Queer Liberation Movement.

Abby and Robbie Martin talk to Anoa Changa, a progressive Black activist, attorney and host of “The Way with Anoa”, about the NPR hit piece insinuating she is a Russian stooge, simply because she promoted her views on socialist radio shows hosted by Sputnik. They discuss Bernie Sanders, the Russiagate hysteria leading to the demonization of the left, and why the Alt Right need to be marginalized as much as possible in order to build social change.
