This year marks the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta, and this week’s show marks that occasion with a discussion on the rights of the commons with author Peter Linebaugh. We also visit a community center in Caracas, and hear from youth voices about life and revolution in Venezuela.

We join the radical arts collective Otro Beta in Caracas, Venezuela to learn about the work, and what they have to say to the people of the United States.

An important message before you go 

The lion’s share of Truthout’s operating budget comes from people just like you who read a story and donate a few bucks to help support independent journalism. We don’t run ads or require subscriptions, so we depend on these small donations to stay online. 

But after more than 20 years of being donor-supported, our newsroom’s survival is at stake — and we have an urgent need for your help.  

To continue publishing our critical journalism, we need to raise $44,000 in the next 7 days. The best way to support us is by making a monthly or one-time donation in any amount. 

Please, do what you can to help us get through this, before time runs out.
