One Person Can Make a Difference: Social Justice & World Affairs (Ralph Nader encore)

On this week’s Project Censored, we replay a timeless speech by the legendary political activist and consumer-rights advocate Ralph Nader. Nader outlines some of the most critical problems facing Americans, including exorbitant military spending, out-of-control corporations, and thousands of annual deaths in the workplace or from lack of access to health care. Then he names some of the individuals who’ve made a difference in recent US. history, explains what students can accomplish on campus, and outlines how voters can hold legislators accountable. Nader spoke on March 5, 2018, at Sonoma State University in northern California, as part of the campus’s annual Social Justice Week Lecture Series.
