Hi Everyone,

Slow Food USA is kicking off its September Membership Drive with a “Give What You Can Day” on Labor Day, September 2nd.  On that day only, there will be a link to a special form on the Slow Food USA’s Website, so you can join for an amount that is comfortable for your budget! Put it on your calendar now, to join SFUSA on Labor Day. Tell your friends, renew your membership and help spread the Slow word!

My guest this week on the Progressive Radio Network is the Executive Director of Grassroots International, Chung-Wha Hong.

As a global justice advocacy and grantmaking organization, Grassroots International connects progressive donors in the US, to high-impact social movements in the Global South.

For over 25 years, Chung-Wha has worked on a range of social justice issues locally and internationally, through organizing, policy advocacy, coalition building, and philanthropy.

Named by the New York Magazine as one of the Most Influential People in Politics, Chung-Wha helped to build the political clout of New York State’s immigrant communities through a comprehensive civic engagement program and helped to win numerous legal, social and economic rights and benefits for those communities.

Chung-Wha’s past activism includes working on health care, worker rights and human rights issues at the New York Immigration Coalition, Campaign to Save Public Hospitals, National Korean American Service & Education Consortium, Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance AFL-CIO and the Korea Information Project.

Please join me in welcoming Chung-Wha to my show, and learning how the impact of our global food system affects those living in the Global South.
