We start today’s show with our recurring segment, the State Terror Roundup.
Then, anyone who has ever supported a loved one in prison knows that commissary prices for basic necessities and food to supplement the poor and scant provided meals inside are high. But how high? Our friends at The Appeal have recently published Locked In, Priced Out, a project that includes a first-of-its-kind database of prison commissary lists from 46 states. To discuss, we are joined by Elizabeth Weill-Greenberg, senior reporter for The Appeal, a worker-led nonprofit news organization. She writes on prison and jail conditions, and wrongful convictions.
Then we go to Turkey, where Bay Area activists have joined hundreds of others from around the world to set sail on a humanitarian aid flotilla headed to Gaza. We are joined from Istanbul by Maria Lewis and Carlos Michaud, two Bay Area activists participating in the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, seeking to deliver 5,500 tons of aid by sea, to Gaza.
Then to UC Berkeley, where students joined a national campus encampment protest effort to demand divestment from their universities from Zionism. We’re joined by Leila, a UC Berkeley PhD student with Graduate Students for Justice in Palestine. She has been camping at the UC Berkeley, Sproul Plaza, encampment since it began on Monday, and has also been a part of the now-9 week long Sather Gate student occupation.
Our Resistance in Residence Artist this week is Oakland comedian Jerry Law.
