[David O. Knuttunen]

Free School University Radio (FSU-RADIO) - Broadcasting Wednesday 7-8 pm

Wed 2/8 7:00 pm on OB RADIO
Main Street $marts - Who got us into this economic mess and how we get
through it?
with Grace Ross

Grace Ross is a lifetime activist in democratic people's movements and a
two-time candidate for Governor of Massachusetts.   She is presently the
coordinator of the Mass Alliance Against Predatory Lending, the statewide
coalition working to reverse the foreclosure-crisis in our Commonwealth.
She has written a book on the current economic crisis entitled "Main Street
$marts - Who got us into this economic mess and how we get through it?" The
book is a comprehensive survey of the damage done to the 99% by an economy
managed for the benefit of the few, and provides common sense prescriptions
for solving the problems, ranging from banking, foreclosures and
homelessness, to health care, to jobs - all the while empowering people and
building a more democratic society.  We will be discussing some of these
issues in a conversation that includes, "How did we get here?"  "What do we
do about it?" and "What is the role of the Occupy movement in solving these
problems?"

You can find out more about the book at http://www.MainStreetSmarts.com.
