This week on Full Circle we again will be covering 3 topics, and, of course, we continue to keep our eyes and ears on Palestine. On tonight’s show, we’ll hear from a protest in Fairfield CA, at the Travis air force base where Code Pink and Youth 4 Palestine protesters demanding a ceasefire blocked entrances to the military base during the morning commute. And JR Valrey and Block Report Radio honor Black History Month with an interview with  internationally known historian and author Gerald Horne discussing how the energy being generated against the genocide in Gaza can be used to stop the genocide in the Congo and the International Court of Justice case in south Africa. To close out the show, we will bring it back to Antioch CA, as Antioch Mayor Lamar Hernandez Thorpe signs the Pacific Environment’s Mayors Challenge, pledging no further investments of city funds into fossil fuel infrastructure.

In 1949, a group of pacifists launched America’s first listener-supported radio station.

This episode explores the stories of some of the people who helped the station achieve this remarkable milestone. 

Featuring interviews with former and current staff members and volunteers: Larry Bensky*, Emiliano Echeveria, Adi Gevins, Bari Scott, Robynn Takayama, and Kris Welch.
