A new show on WBAI: OCCUPY WALL STREET RADIO. From the streets to airwaves, the movement that began as a Day Of Rage takes to the airwaves on the only station that broadcasts the voice of the 99%. The show offers a regular check in for the latest breaking news from the streets.
The initial Occupy Wall Street Radio aired on October 26, 2011. The show can be heard Monday through Friday from 6:30 to 7 PM. We also archive past shows. Hear the voices, the heart, the soul of this 99% growing and now global movement.

In order to promote a conversation about contemporary America in a historical context, WBAI is launching a monthly commentary by contributing writers – you, me, and anyone we know...

The first contributor is Marcin Rusinkiewicz, who is a volunteer/intern working remotely with Pacifica Affiliates Coordinator Ursula Ruedenberg and on site at WBAI with Interim Development Director Andrea Katz. Marcin (pronounced “Marchine”) is a former Austinite (as in Texas), academic and labor organizer. He has written on various topics and militated on behalf of various progressive causes.
