| Phil Ochs (singing/playing) I Ain't Marching Anymore A Single (Elektra) among many, many albums 1966 Ochs wrote "I Ain't Marching Any More" as American involvement in the Vietnam War was beginning to grow. The song criticizes all of American military history from the perspective of a weary soldier who has been present at every single war since the War of 1812. The chorus notes that "it's always the old who lead us to the war, always the young to fall" and asks whether the price of military victory has been too high. Ochs said of the song that it "borders between pacifism and treason, combining the best qualities of both." He also wrote "the fact that you won't be hearing this song on the radio is more than enough justification for the writing of it."

Before this, we introduce the ongoing story of the Tufts University administration’s attack on Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).

| Producer Stan Robinson (reading/commenting) Chapter 4: The Arrests (first part) Miko Peled's recent book: Injustice, the story of the Holy Land Foundation Five 2020 This stunning chapter reports the second round of our own government's vicious, sadistic treatment of five of the finest men on earth. The accusation: raising money to help Palestinian children, all within the tight rules imposed by U.S. agencies! With the help of corrupt judges, they are now in prison with long sentences.

| Hosts Ken Nash and Mimi Rosenberg Postal Union Fights Trump Privatization Plan Building Bridges: Your Community and Labor Report (WBAI, NYC) Available now at radio4all.net and soon at BB's website buildingbridgesradio.blogspot.com 2020
We cannot allow Trump to use this horrific pandemic as an opportunity to bankrupt and privatize the Postal Service. Now, more than ever, we need a strong and vibrant postal system to deliver mail 6-days a week. Congress must act now to save it. Attacks on this institution are an attack on one of the most reliable public sector employers in the United States and with a unionized work force.
