FPToday on Flashpoints: We speak with a Liberian woman whose husband was recently struck with the Ebola virus, amid concern about a potential case in Sacramento, California. Then we follow the expansion of a successful blockade action against an Israeli cargo ship at the Port of Oakland, to now include seaports in Seattle and Tacoma, Washington. Next, we catch up with the TrailĀ  For Humanity, calling attention to the plight of immigrant children and we also go to an ongoing fast, on their behalf at the San Francisco Federal building. Then we look a the case of Nestora Salgado, a naturalized US citizen being held in a maximum security prison in Mexico. Finally, as Attorney General Eric Holder visits Ferguson in St. Louis County MO, we look at some startling facts about the realities confronting black youth in the United States.

  • Musicians!!

    We're searching for great new music produced by independent musicians and members of our global audience, so that we can be as non-corporate and copyright-free as possible. All genres -- from blues to electronica to world beats -- welcome!

    We like smart, political and well-produced music -- and are especially in search of possible new theme instrumentals. Please send it to Flashpoints, c/o KPFA, 1929 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Berkeley, CA 94704, or email your Mp3s at flashpointsproducer@gmail.com with full descriptions and credits.
