Recognize and Counter Mainstream Media Bias

June 24, 2022 GlenAnderson 0

The July 2022 interview on “Glen’s Parallax Perspectives” provides fresh information and insights about a systemic problem that perpetuates war and all kinds of injustice. This systemic problem also interferes with our efforts to solve all of the problems we care about. This TV interview is about bias in mainstream news media. Media bias is very pervasive – and because it is so very pervasive, it is often not even noticed. It distorts what people know about vital issues such as war and peace, the economy, race, the criminal justice system, the climate, and all of the other important issues. […]

May 24, 2022 GlenAnderson 0

The death penalty has existed for a long time, so our society accepts it as the status quo. In order to abolish the death penalty, we must organize from the grassroots up. I’m conducting FREE online workshops from mid-June to mid-July to significantly strengthen our skills and strategies to help us build a strategically savvy movement to actually abolish the death penalty! Nonviolent grassroots organizing has been proven to be effective, but everyone who cares – even experienced activists – could make much more progress by strengthening our skills.

April 16, 2022 GlenAnderson 0

Each 2-hour workshop in this 6-part series (“Nonviolent Grassroots Organizing”) includes a lot of substantive information, inspiration, and practical usefulness. Each workshop is supplemented with some of the best resources I have gathered (and many that I have written) in the past 50 years. Unlike school “homework” assignments that are mandatory, these are not mandatory, but I do enthusiastically encourage each participant to read these because they flesh out the substance of each workshop.

Whistleblowers Serve the Public. Let’s Protect Them.

February 18, 2022 GlenAnderson 0

The February 2022 episode of “Glen’s Parallax Perspectives” informs you of a powerful and proven way to solve serious problems. Throughout all levels of government — and in the private sector — there are many cases of fraud, abuse, corruption, negligence, and dysfunctional systems. These hurt people, hurt the environment, waste money, interfere with honest services, and cause other kinds of problems. Some courageous people “blow the whistle” on those injustices. This TV program informs you of what “whistleblowers” do and an excellent non-profit organization that helps them serve the broad public interest. Glen Anderson interviewed two experts — Louis […]

Let’s Recognize Legal Rights for Nature

January 2, 2022 GlenAnderson 0

The January 2022 episode of “Glen’s Parallax Perspectives” provides a fresh perspective — and proposes a fresh solution — for some environmental problems that are serious but are not being solved by conventional methods. Glen Anderson interviewed two experts — Kai Huschke and Elliott Moffett — who have savvy insights and practical experience working to protect environments and establish legal rights for nature. Very often, when people want to protect the environment by filing appeals in governmental hearings or in courts, the environmentalists’ cases are dismissed because – even though the environment is being hurt – those individuals themselves are […]

To save Richard, we need your help again.
