1. Robert Naiman, Policy Directory with the group Just Foreign Policy discusses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s controversial March 3rd visit to the U.S. — and his group’s response to his stated effort to undermine the ongoing U.S./ P5 +1 nuclear talks with Iran.
2. Nadia Kayyali, a member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s activism team explains the importance of the latest revelations from documents released by Edward Snowden, which reveal that U.S. and British spies stole encryption keys from Gemalto, a major global manufacturer of mobile phone SIM cards — enabling governments to conduct warrantless, untraceable surveillance of much of the world’s cell phone communications.
3. Craig Aaron, President and CEO of the media democracy group FreePress.net discusses the historic grassroots victory for net neutrality, where the FCC voted to reclassify broadband Internet as a common carrier service under Title II, regulating ISPs as public utilities. He’ll alert listeners about the need for continued vigilance and activism to resist legislative initiatives and legal challenges by the giant telecoms to undermine the FCC vote, and talk about the falsehoods promoted in the cable industry sponsored TV ad campaign charging that the new FCC rules will result in $11 billion in new taxes and fees.
4. Matthew Rothschild, former senior editor of the Progressive Magazine and longtime peace and justice activist, discusses Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s effort to pass “Right to Work” (for less) legislation, labor’s response, who’s pushing the “right to work” agenda — and the national implications for the labor movement as well as Walker’s White House ambitions.

Featured Guests:

1. Mark Weisbrot, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research discusses the significance of recent negotiations between the new Syriza Party government in Greece and European finance authorities on austerity policies — and the impact the results could have on other European nations with movements resisting austerity in Spain, Portugal and Italy.
2. Phyllis Bennis, director of the Institute for Policy Studies’ New Internationalism Project, assesses President Obama’s request for Congressional war authorization — and the extraordinary leak on Iran nuclear negotiations attributed to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. She’ll also examine the rise of ISIS and how it relates to the U.S. role in the wider Sunni-Shiite conflict.
3. DEMOS senior policy analyst, Catherine Ruetschlin examines Walmart CEO Doug McMillon’s decision to raise employee wages to $9 an hour this April, and then $10 an hour in February 2016 — and what this means for the living wage movement and unionization drives at big box retailers and the fast food industry.
4. WPKN producer Ebong Udoma, who is currently traveling in Nigeria, discusses the violence being inflicted by the Boko Haram terrorist group on tens of thousands of people living in the north of the country, the postponed national election and the effect of a dramatic decrease in global oil prices on Nigeria’s economy.

10 PM: Writer’s Voice: Francesca Rheannon

We talk with acclaimed biographer James McGrath Morris about his just-released biography, Ethel Payne, First Lady Of The Black Press.

Through Payne’s riveting personal story, Morris takes the reader on an inspiring journey through the civil rights movement — and a greater understanding of issues that continue to resonate strongly today.
