🗣️ HAPPENING NOW: please make a donation during the Giving Challenge from NOON on April 9th to NOON on April 10th to help bring Working Class, Community Radio Station WBPV 100.1 Back on Air! Link below‼️

💸 1:1 Match: All donations made during the Giving Challenge will be matched up to $100 per donor!

📣 In an era in Florida where the right-wing Governor and Legislature have banned books, attacked public education, reversed child labor laws, gutted diversity programs, and outlawed community oversight of the police, independent progressive media is more important than ever. Governor DeSantis and his right-wing billionaire backers have canceled independent thought with the help of the corporate sponsored media.

🎙️ WBPV-LP serves the needs of the Manasota community and provides real democracy in public media by making it accessible to everyone. It’s commercial-free, independent radio programmed by activists and community members involved in multiple struggles across the metro area. You’ll hear local updates about the anti-working class legislation coming from city hall as well as an anti-war and anti-imperialist view on world events. WBPV is dedicated to the issues, lives and organizing of the working class.

🫵 We need your help today! Your support makes it all possible, so please make a donation RIGHT NOW, from NOON on April 9th to NOON on April 10th. Please make a donation below or by calling our office at (941) 405-0012.

Please listen and share!! The Omicron variant is spreading like wildfire across the world, with over a million new cases per day in the US, despite testing being hard to come by. Workers are being forced to go in sick as hospitals are overrun, all while Biden declares that there is "no federal solution" as profits are put over people once again.

How did we get here? Why has the U.S. abandoned controlling the spread of the virus while China has eradicated the virus domestically?

What could have been done, and what would a socialist plan to deal with the pandemic look like? We discuss all this and more in this crucial episode.
