Beyond the Politics of Despair
We share Alternative Radio's evening with Pulitzer Prize-winning Journalist, and Author Chris Hedges.

Program #HEDC015. Recorded in Troy, NY on October 16, 2020.
Words from the presenter: "Despair. We all experience it. It can lead to demoralization. What’s the antidote? Engagement. Finding kindred spirits and acting collectively. Building bonds of solidarity. Working toward the common good. John Lewis, long-time Georgia Congressperson and civil rights icon had this advice: 'Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.' "
