*"Deadly Secrets, Corporate Corruption
and One Man's Search for Justice"*
*with Carey Gillam*

Investigative journalist Carey Gillam will discuss her new book and 
research that has revealed how Monsanto spent decades hiding the 
cancer-causing dangers of its weed killing products and the story of Lee 
Johnson's fight both to survive cancer and hold Monsanto accountable. 
Though doctors told Johnson his cancer would kill him years ago, he is 
"striving and thriving" and working to warn others about harms 
associated with pesticides and plans to join in the presentation.

*“Encore: The Red & Green of May Day"*
*with Judith Woodruff*

An encore presentation of the origins of  May Day celebration: May Day 
is recognized around the world as a holiday of celebration and 
appreciation of working people. Originally it was a springtime fertility 
festival whose origins go back far into the ancient world. It is known 
for its May poles, dances, floral wreaths, fertility rites, and general 
rejoicing along with days off from work. This program will explore how 
May Day came to be the working class holiday by 1894; a remembrance of 
the Haymarket martyrs' struggle for the eight hour day; and is now a day 
of world wide working class demonstrations with efforts to make it a 
legal American holiday, as it is in most of the countries of the world.

hall you’ve ever stepped into. They’ve been doing this for over 30 
years, and keep coming back for more, except when a virus requires an 
involuntary sabbatical. Now they’re rarin’ to go, and will give you a 
sneak preview, in celebration of one of their member’s birthday (Dean), 
and in fond memory our beloved Kathleen Dinan. Join us!

*“Film: Child's Play"*
*with Michael Sheridan*

Four children in Sialkot, Pakistan, introduce us to their daily lives 
and tell us why they work stitching soccer balls. The film argues that 
to eliminate child labor, viable economic options must be created so 
that parents can afford not to have their children work. Produced for 
Save the Children Fund-UK and shown at the United Nation's International 
Conference on Child Labor and at the British Sports Apparel Industry's 
annual conference. The film helped change policy and raised 1.2 million 
dollars for Save the Children's Sialkot program.

*“Exonerating Ethel”*
*with Jennifer Meeropol*
Jenn Meeropol discusses the successes and lessons learned from the 2016 
campaign to exonerate her grandmother, Ethel Rosenberg. In 1951, at the 
height of the McCarthy era, Ethel was convicted of “conspiracy to commit 
espionage” alongside her husband Julius in a trial that would come to 
symbolize "Red Scare" hysteria and the U.S.’s willingness to commit 
injustice in the name of national security. As we mark the 70th 
anniversary of the conviction, Jenn shares what comes next for the 
exonerate campaign, including the exciting possibility of a relaunch 
effort in the months to come, and why it still matters today.
