CKUT Radio: Resisting the U.S. Presidential Inauguration

Stefan Christoff

On Thursday January 20th, as George W. Bush was sworn in for a second term as U.S. president in Washington D.C., thousands of demonstrators took the streets of downtown D.C., to voice rejection of both the domestic and foreign policies of the current U.S. Administration. A key focus of the large-scale demonstrations, estimated at 10 000 people, was the ongoing internationally condemned U.S. lead military occupation of Iraq, in which according to public health experts from the U.S., an estimated 100 000 Iraqi's have died.

This radio segment features an interview with Lelia Spears of DC Anarchist Resistance, a group formed in the spirit of directly confronting Bush's inauguration, who on January 20th confronted police lines guarding Bush's inauguration parade route. Also this radio segment features an interview with Drew Poe, from D.C. Indymedia and D.C Radio Co-Op who spoke about the independent media convergence, which took place to facilitate alternative coverage to the corporate / state-run media of Bush's inauguration.

CMAQ: Vie associative


Collectif à Québec: n'existe plus.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
