In the largest labor strike since the invasion of Iraq, ports along the West Coast—all twenty-nine of them—were shut down as some 25,000 dockworkers went on a one-day strike to protest the war. We speak to Jack Heyman of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.

How can i get Democracy Now! on my local PBS station?

I wrote to my local PBS station to request that they consider broadcasting Democracy Now! with no reply. Should I consider writing a letter once a week? Is it time to picket?

I believe that a free and independent media is THE answer to holding govt and corporations accountable and I'm ready to become an activist. I'm willing to go it alone if necessary, what can i do?
