Today on Sojourner Truth:
Even as public officials scramble to come up with band-aid solutions they hope will resolve the uprising around the country, we look at what might be some of the underlying issues of protesters in addition to police abuse and murder. For young people and all of us who are facing the challenge of the destruction of the environment, we discuss the use of chemicals in U.S. agriculture. For our weekly Earth Watch segment, we delve into the latest on dicamba, a highly-toxic herbicide that is used to kill weeds in a variety of agricultural areas. Our guest is Rob Faux, the Communications Associate in Iowa for the Pesticide Action Network. Rob is also a farmer.
We also look at U.S. spending on regime change and destabilization around the world. We take a look at U.S.-backed efforts against Evo Morales, who was the first Indigenous president of Bolivia. Our guest is Jake Johnston, a Senior Research Associate at the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington, D.C.
