Act Out! [121] - Medicare’s Awkward Birthday + What Resistance Looks Like Worldwide
Wed, 7/26/2017 - by Eleanor Goldfield

This week on Act Out!, Medicare turns 52 years old, and as organizers gear up for the 52 events celebrating Medicare's 52nd, we take another look at why Medicare for All matters and how you can join the fight. Next up, Cultures of Resistance director Iara Lee wasn't content to just document suffering – she wanted to help. In this special interview, she outlines her work as an activist, artist and filmmaker, how art is a catalyst for change and what she's learned on the front lines of hundreds of movements.

If the Democrats’ theme of 2017 was Resistance, the theme for Democrats in 2025 needs to instead be Opposition — and these two GOP senators may be the models to emulate.
