In this episode Hannah Berkeley Cohen, a student from the University of Pittsburgh, shares the difficulties she faced acclimating herself to aspects of Bangladeshi culture. She talks about the relationships she created and the things she saw, including a garment factory, a Bangladeshi wedding, and life in the slums, during her 4-month long trip. She also talks about the work she did with Grameen Bank, as well as Amader Gram.

So we actually record our shows on Wednesday, which means as we were recording the government was killing Troy Davis. We talked for a bit about the uselessness of a system that essentially comes down to a stack of papers with the correct signatures on them taking a man's life.

Also, big news this week, apparently there's a class war going on according to the government!! We unveiled their lies and talked about what real class war is. We discussed the people who are coming out to defend the so called "millionaire tax" and how the suppression of working class people has been occurring for 30 years with no mention of class war.

Overall it was actually a pretty serious show, there wasn't much to joke about when you're standing by hoping that a man isn't killed.

The quote is apocryphal, but Ellen Baumgartner is a local activist who is holding on to the "make-me-do-it" method for getting Obama to deliver at least some of the changes he promised during his campaign in '08. A couple of weeks after being jailed for civil disobedience in protest against the Keystone XL tars sands pipeline, Baumgartner said she supports Obama's reelection.

"I believe in Obama. I think he has had tremendous challenges. But he has done a number of good things. People are expecting too much of him, because he has inherited a mess. Now, with the Congress being so antagonistic and determined to not give him anything that he wants, it's very discouraging. However, if the choice is between Obama and a Republican of the ilk we have been seeing, it's Obama hands-down."

In late August police arrested more than 1200 people near the White House. Protestors took part in civil disobedience against Keystone XL. It was part of a two-week long effort to send a message to Obama and the rest of our country.

The proposed pipeline would carry tar sands oil from Canada to Texas where it would be refined and sent to other countries. The project has united many environmentalists and human rights activists who say tar sands oil extraction violates the land rights of indigenous people in Canada and exacerbates climate change.

"We should let him (Obama) know what his supporters want him to do... He has the power to say no (to Keystone XL). He doesn't need Congress to approve of his decision."
