There’s an abundance of housing; let’s organize to take it over

The Poor People’s Army, formerly the Poor People’s Economic and Human Rights Campaign, has been leading efforts across the country to place individuals and families who need them into federally-owned housing for a long time. Their position is that housing is a human right and that people in need should not be forced to wait for shelter. They recently published “Takeover: A Human Rights Approach to Housing” on Poor People’s Press, a step-by-step guide to occupying empty houses. Clearing the FOG speaks with Cheri Honkala, the lead author, and Galen Tyler, a lead organizer with the Poor People’s Army, about the current housing crisis and how people can use the new book to end the crisis of homelessness.

The United States Is Sabotaging A Nuclear Agreement With Iran – Clearing the FOG with co-hosts Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese

The Trump administration, which unilaterally withdrew from the Iran Nuclear Agreement during Donald Trump's first term, claims to be negotiating a new nuclear agreement with Iran. However, 'negotiations' are taking place under an escalation of economic coercive measures, a.k.a. sanctions, and military threats. Bahman Azad, president of the US Peace Council, delves into the hidden intentions of the Trump administration and the changes to Iran's foreign policy under its new president. Azad also explains what is happening in the context of the rise of the multipolar world and the decline of US hegemony, and what we can do in the United States to promote security and peace, as Israel and the US prepare for war.
