NDIGENOUS PEOPLE’S DAY & AN HOUR OF WOMEN’S ISSUES WITH CHRISTIAN NUNES OF NOW
 
 
We begin GREE-GREE #113 with a celebration of Indigenous People’s Day led by TATANKA BRICCA and the reminder that whatever democracy and freedom we enjoy in America is rooted with our native peoples---especially with the Hodenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy.
 
JOEL SEGAL fills us in on the fight of Puerto Rico to rise again from yet another horrific storm, one that’s also brought terrifying death and destruction to much of Florida.
 
We then hear from CHRISTIAN NUNES, President of the National Organization for Women, as she and WENDI LEDERMAN take us on a deep dive into the core of women’s issues in the world today.  Roe v. Wade is “on the ballot” and, as Christian tells us, the issues cut far deeper than abortion.
 
What we're seeing, we hear, is about men trying to deepen their control over women, creating more slavery, autocracy and privilege among the rich.
 
The attack on a woman’s right to control her own body is inseparable from the fight for democracy and the desperate need to save our planetary ecology.
 
CYNTHIA PAPERMASTER, MARY DOUGLAS, DANNETT ABBOT-WICKER, HEDY TRIPP and LYNN FEINERMAN all contribute to this deeply moving excursion into the rise of the movement for matriarchal justice and power.
