On today’s show we hear from a group of African women, about the state of women's rights in Africa. A young Egyptian woman blogger talks about limits on free speech in her country. We learn about farming and food from a California farmer of Punjabi and Mexican descent. And a homeless rights activist tells us the history of a tent city in Ontario, where officials recently evicted homeless people who couldn’t prove they once lived in a home in the area. We also get a weekly Media Minutes roundup from Free Press, and the Weekly Spin from PR Watch. \r\n<\/p>
