WBAI's Building Bridges:

Your Community & Labor Report- National Edition

Produced & Hosted by Mimi Rosenberg & Ken Nash



Presents

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva

Speaks To Labor In New York City

Lula, as the President of Brazil is popularly

known, criticized the protectionism practiced

by the rich countries that unjustly penalize

producers in developing nations. Reiterating

that he will continue to associate with the

Group 22, which emerged at the recent

Cancun Conference in order to attain an

effective opening in the markets, Lula

emphasized eradicating world hunger as “a political and moral imperative,” something he believes is possible but requires political will.

“The true path to peace consists in tirelessly fighting hunger and extreme poverty via a solidarity campaign that unites the planet, instead

of deepening the divisions and the hate that inflames peoples and sows terror.”

“What is the point of technological advances, wealth and luxury if we are not capable of guaranteeing the right to life?”, stressed Lula.

Building Bridges is regularly broadcast over WBAI 99.5 FM in the NYC area on Mondays from 4-5pm pt and streamed over http:\/\/www.2600.com\/offthehook\/hot2.ram<\/a>
