Radio Free Occupy

Radio Free Occupy
Wed, 4/11/2012

Let's face it: most of the press coverage of the Occupy Movement has not only been misinformed, but false. So a few of us with writing, speaking and audio skills created RadiOWS, a free form radio show produced by NYC Occupiers and airing on the Pacifica Network. Our goal is to amplify the message and voices of the movement through reliable news coverage, thoughtful discussion, original music, skits and whatever else we can think of to inspire, amuse and engage our listeners. We don't mind if the end result is fun to listen to; in an era where American pop culture often creates apathy, we hope to inspire the opposite.

Here we present our first show, starring the home mortgage and foreclosure crisis. Guest speakers include Jesse LaGreca, Captain Ray Lewis and Danny Schechter, among others. Our shows are free-format, which means you can pretty much start listening from any point in the show. Tune in to your local Pacifica station for our next show starring the one and only May Day!

Traditional media has failed us. We have to create our own. That's why you're here on Occupy.com. If you're good with audio and want to submit a segment to RadiOWS, contact us.

Over the next four years, we’re about to be inundated with a flood of lies—including from federal agencies themselves.

We have to be smart in how we fight against Trump and the Republican Party this time around. That means picking our battles wisely, and not taking bait that’s dangled in front of our faces.

The way the urban commons create a space to solve material problems and enable social movements to forge city-wide networks are antidotes to people being attracted towards the far-right.

Over the next two years, Democrats have the unfettered ability to be an albatross around the neck of the GOP — and to make sure that what little they manage to get done due to their paper-thin majorities becomes the reason for their undoing.

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.

President-elect Donald Trump isn’t just appointing incompetent buffoons to his Cabinet, but deeply immoral individuals who are completely lacking in family values.
