Occupy Sandy Staten Island report
Those of you who don’t listen to Sex and Politics may have missed out on what is a continuing story here in NY–in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy (which hit last OCTOBER), there are still big pockets of damage and hardship. My guest was Goldi Guerra of the Guitarmy, a great group of musicians in the […]
Breast cancer–information you need
A couple of months ago on Sex and Politics, I interviewed James Brophy, a cancer researcher in Canada. Professor Brophy is featured in the breast cancer documentary PINK RIBBONS, INC.

Who is my neighbor?
Originally posted on Transform Now Plowshares:
Dear friends, First, the facts. Greg, Megan, and Michael were found guilty today of both counts brought against them — sabotage and depredation of government property — and they were remanded from the courtroom as we sang them rounds of “Rejoice in the Lord Always,” and “Vine and Fig…
Tonight on Sex and Politics!
Tonight on WBCR’s Sex and Politics, I will be speaking to some of the planners for OCCUPY WALL STREET‘s May Day events–they’re asking people to take the day off (call in sick!) and come to one of their many events (protests, speak-outs, performances). Lots of interesting events going on, and there’s still time to get […]

My WBCR segment that went AWOL
So there we were Thursday night on WBCR, our second segment of 2013. And things were jumpin’. We had discussion about the Barghouti lecture at Brooklyn College about the BDS movement to sanction Israel for its continued ‘Palestinian Apartheid’. The lecture was going on as we broadcast, so getting into the station involved getting past […]
WBCR this week: Sandy relief and the Shock Doctrine
This week on Sex and Politics, I’ll be talking about Occupy Sandy Relief and the growing frustration in the areas hardest hit by the storm at the glacial pace of government response. Six weeks after the storm, thousands of NY residents are still living in homes that don’t have electricity or heat and are suffering […]
