		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, we spoke with activists around the world who struggle for basic human rights.  Everywhere you turn, the same corporate interests, the same apathetic or outright hostile governments--it's enough to drive social justice activists to despair. Instead of giving up, though, plenty of people figure out ways to keep going, to draw energy from the oppression and pain and to win victories against incredible odds. Sometimes their work seems overwhelming, but it's people like them who make us at GRITtv thankful this holiday season. We bring you that show and hope you enjoy another look at these inspiring people.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this year, we had a discussion in studio about the strategies of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel (BDS) in pursuit of a just peace in the Middle East.  BDS was used successfully against South Africa under apartheid, and the call for a similar campaign against Israel stems back to at least 2005. But is it a productive strategy, or will it do more harm than good?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The term "human rights" can be applied to many, many things. After the Bellevue Hospital Natural Birth center in Manhattan, one of the few centers that cater not to the wealthy but to poor women, closed this month amid controversy, we decided to take a look at the way the health care system treats pregnant women. Our panelists consider giving birth in an environment of your choice to be a basic human right.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[President Obama is expected to announce that he will be sending 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan next week. In the wake of that decision, discussion of the consequences of United States intervention around the world becomes even more important. It's not only wars that produce blowback for the US; training and funding for right-leaning groups in Latin America has been a long-standing source of resentment and anger around the world.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the Great Depression, the labor movement was a major player pushing a progressive agenda and helping to put people back to work. While we've heard plenty of comparisons between the current recession and the Depression, we haven't seen a return of the kind of militancy that came from labor in the 20s and 30s.

		<description><![CDATA[What are the alternatives to the way we live? Since last fall's financial collapse, we've heard more honest discussion about capitalism's failings than in years. Yet real change is still hard to find. Wall Street is still handing out bonuses, we're still at war, and even Guantanamo might not actually be closed by the deadline Obama set upon taking office. As Americans question whether change is possible in an election cycle, we stop and think about what an alternative social order would look like.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The unemployment number officially hit double digits recently, though the actual truth is that it's been in double digits for a while. The Nation's John Nichols , author of Tragedy &#38; Farce: How the American Media Sell Wars, Spin Elections, and Destroy Democracy calls the unemployment crisis a "social, economic and political threat," writing of the growing sense of urgency within an administration facing a purported recovery that hasn't extended to everyday people. Economist Dean Baker of the Center for Economic and Policy Research and author of Plunder and Blunder: The Rise and Fall of the Bubble Economy agrees, noting that unemployment is still a crisis for the families affected, who struggle to pay the bills and put food on the table. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sarah Palin's book, Going Rogue: An American Life, comes out tomorrow, and the corporate media has been all Palin, all the time. We wonder just what it is about the former Alaskan governor that keeps people coming back for more. Is it her folksy ways, her sex appeal, her gender, or her willingness to completely disregard the advice of well-intentioned handlers? ]]></description>
