WEDNESDAY, Oct 1  11AM: GOODBYE MEL DUNCAN HELLO

Nonviolent Peaceforce Founder and Executive Director MEL DUNCAN is stepping
down after establishing a global network of Twin Cities-based programs and
peace advocates. ANDY DRISCOLL talks with Duncan about life as a progressive
organizer, former Executive Director of Minnesota Alliance for Progressive
Action (now part of TakeAction/Minnesota), and his philosophy of citizen
action. Not all of us founders are willing to let go of our babies. Mel
Duncan has done it twice. Why? And What now?

SEPT 24: WHATS THIS ABOUT COMMUNITY ORGANIZING?

"I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except
that you have actual responsibilities."  GOP VP Candidate Sarah Palin.
TTTs ANDY DRISCOLL and LYNNELL MICKELSEN talk with practitioners of the
time-honored art of community organizing about its true nature and
importance as a tool of civic and political engagement in these times when
so many of us rely on mass media for our news and make decisions about who
is responsible for change and public policy. In fact, we are, not the
politicians.

In this day and age of an increasingly irrelevant mainstream media lost in
its own cacophony of hysteria and self-absorption, "Truth to Tell" is a
shining example of hope. Perhaps all is not lost.   William Moyers
