Artist Robert Shetterly has created a gallery of hundreds of portraits entitled Americans Who Tell the Truth. Pictured is Rachel Corrie, an American student who was run over by an Israeli bulldozer in Gaza in 2003 as she was trying to protect a Palestinian family's home.

These two women with years of experience in the food/hunger space talk with host Melinda Tuhus about efforts to reduce food waste and get good food to those who need it, a challenge made more difficult by both budget cuts the Trump administration pushed through and what became the longest government shutdown in US history, with the pausing of the SNAP program, and the hardships it caused.

A coalition of climate organizations is organizing three actions in Washington, DC, on Sept. 18-19. The first is at the monthly FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) meeting, which rubberstamps all kinds of methane ("natural" gas) projects. That afternoon a new coalition called Elders Coalition for Climate Action will hold an action outside the Environmental Protection Agency, which has been gutted by the Trump administration, "mourning" its sorry state and calling for its "restoration." The next day Third Act Actions Lab will lead a "Petrostate Tour" of some of the worst actors in the climate sphere, like the American Petroleum Institute. Tune in for a lively discussion with a point person on each action.
