Now that it has been proven that we live in a plutocracy, what are we going to do about it? PopularResistance.org is joining with theBackbone Campaign to launch the Rolling Rebellion for Real Democracy.

The first step is a week of actions across the country from July 5 to 12. Bill Moyers from Backbone Campaign joins us to speak about the campaign and what we hope to achieve. In the second half of the show, we speak with Jessica Lee of Peaceful Uprising who is an organizer of the permanent protest set up in P R Spring, Utah, to stop the land from being mined for tar sands.
