TalkPoverty Radio relaunched as Off-Kilter. Listen to new episodes of the show on Soundcloud, and follow the show on Facebook and Twitter. After a 140-mile march from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C., more than 400 protestors were arrested on the Capitol steps, the largest number of arrests for an act of civil disobedience in the Capitol’s history. The nonviolent protest was led by Democracy Spring, a coalition of more than 100 progressive groups fighting against the influence of money in politics and for strengthening the right to vote. To discuss this, we’re joined by Alex Lawson, executive director of Social Security Works, who participated in the protests. We’re also joined by Ari Rabin-Havt of SirusXm’s The Agenda – and author of the new book Lies, Incorporated: The World of Post-Truth Politics – who joins in on an extended version of the weekly worst with Alan Pyke of Think Progress.
