Right Wing attacks DFA & MoveOn; Micro-Lending with Kiva (DFA Radio preview)

Written by: Lewis Miller on Sep 25, 2007 11:37 AM EDT

Please join us tonight for another fresh installment of people-powered DFA Radio. Our scheduled guest is:

• Fiona Ramsey, Public Relations Director at Kiva.org. Kiva empowers individuals to help the working poor in the developing world with micro-lending. Loans as low as $25 can be made to qualified small businesses in countries from Mexico to Iraq, with repayment in 6-12 months. Get involved and call in with your micro-lending questions on tonight's show. (Fiona was originally scheduled for last week but was unable to appear.)

We'll also talk about the Right Wing's recent attack on progressive grassroots groups like Democracy for America and MoveOn, why they are doing it, and how our community can fight back.

As always, we'll take calls from the DFA community. Tune in to hear your fellow DFA members, or call in & let us know what's on your mind.

If you missed last week's program, we interviewed recently-endorsed DFA-List candidate, Isabel Piedmont for City Council Bloomington, Indiana. We also spoke with Eldon Robison, chair of Indiana Progressives, a state PAC that has been very success in its mission of electing progressives to statewide office. (Indiana Progressives also organized the great DFA Organizing Summit in Indianapolis where Isabel was endorsed and presented with a check by Jim Dean.) We encourage you to visit the websites above to support Isabel and find out more about Indiana Progressives.
