What would they like to see from the president elect? Universal healthcare for one and a huge stimulus package might be starting points. There’s also the Employee Free Choice Act, which would make it easier for unions to organize. </p> <p>Perhaps as a measure of how ambitious the effort will be, the anti-union and pro-business Chamber of Commerce said: “This will be Armageddon.” But will Obama be able to turn around the decades long decline in union membership? And will unions have a role in reshaping American capitalism?</p> <p>Today on GRITtv we are joined by ED OTT, GREG DENIER, and BHAIRAVI DESAI. </p> </div> <a href="/blog/62329-grittv-live-at-1-00-eastern-what-does-labor-want">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/60978-the-daily-left-november-3rd-2008 2008-11-19T02:48:56Z Goleft TV <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LYR9qqSCcRo&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LYR9qqSCcRo&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/60978-the-daily-left-november-3rd-2008"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/75496" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Polls Overwhelmingly Show Democratic Victory; Democrats Pre-emptively Sue Florida Republicans For Caging; Treasury Department Denies GM Assistance; Bush Rushes to Enact Last Minute Environmental Cuts; Cartoon by Matt Filipowicz</p> </div> <a href="/blog/60978-the-daily-left-november-3rd-2008">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/57162-canadian-arts-community-plays-strategically 2008-11-03T10:55:02Z The Real News <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zEugtjuINS8&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zEugtjuINS8&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/57162-canadian-arts-community-plays-strategically"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/69535" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>More at <a href="http://therealnews.com/c.php?c=081001YT">therealnews.com</a> <br />The Department of Culture is advocating for anyone but Harper this election year</p> </div> <a href="/blog/57162-canadian-arts-community-plays-strategically">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/57102-corruption-in-the-bailout-plan 2008-10-21T08:52:53Z youngturks <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DTZY5TFt0aw&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DTZY5TFt0aw&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/57102-corruption-in-the-bailout-plan"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/69451" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Watch more at <a href="http://www.theyoungturks.com.">www.theyoungturks.com.</a> </p> </div> <a href="/blog/57102-corruption-in-the-bailout-plan">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/55072-la-llorona-of-skid-row 2008-11-19T04:24:21Z jordiortegatv <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uE82Uvonoik&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uE82Uvonoik&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/55072-la-llorona-of-skid-row"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/66786" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Andrea was just one of the many single mothers of America until a tragic episode of domestic violence threw her into a lonely world of drug addiction, where she was deprived of her child. Dealing with her past trauma and sorrow, living at a shelter in the homeless community of Skid Row, just a few streets away from the banks and the new and reconverted luxury lofts of downtown Los Angeles, one day Andrea finds a ray of hope: the opportunity to tell her story acting in a theater play. Featuring the play ´La Llorona, the Weeping Woman of Skid Row,´ directed by Henriette Brouwers, of the LAPD (Los Angeles Poverty Department), and the actors Andrea Leichtle, Rickey Mantley, Chas Jackson, Alexander The Poet and Sashae Siatui.
