They will address the roles of capitalists’ power in and beyond the Obama campaign and administration while considering the impact of, and opposition to such power in relation to strategies for building Left alternatives.
This event comes at a time of the exclusion from mainstream media and Washington politics of any discourse that suggests that the systematic dimensions of capitalism are related to the current crises or that the phrase “capitalists’ power” is relevant to public political consciousness.
Debate questions will be prepared and posed by a panel consisting of David Harvey (The Limits to Capital), Maria Svart (union organizer and chair of the NYC local of the Democratic Socialists of America) and Josh MacPhee (Justseeds radical artists' collective founder) and audience questions will be included.

I am a longtime listener/member of WBAI. I want to note, as a reader here, that I support the "undo the coup" movement around WBAI and Pacifica Radio Network. Don DeBar has been "fired and banned" by the management installed by the coup (and
the LSB,the new majority since Jan., Local Station Board has
aided and abetted it). See TakeBackWbai at www.takebackwbai.org
I support the websites Don DeBar is producing: www.wbaix.org and
www.wbixradio.org
There is an election now for new LSB members. Lynne Stewart is a candidate of the "undo the coup" group. The Community Church on E.35th St. has been good on wheelchair access. I was able to briefly "drop in" to a meeting for Lynne Stewart a few years ago.
It's too important to remain silent about WBAI, if we want to keep a diverse, multicultural radio station that challenges authoritarian power at all levels of gov't. There was a coup at the
station and Pacifica 9 years ago, and we "undid it". Democracy has to work in all aspects of our lives.
