Today is Thursday, March 31 Cesar Chavez’s birthday. We’ll be talking with United Farm Worker’s co-founder Dolores Huerta about the life, work and legacy of Cesar Chavez. Then we’ll be looking at the unfolding nuclear disaster in Japan and talk with a nuclear whistle blower about the potential catastrophe looming in the United States. First we’ll be going to the middle east and North Africa to find out how the popular uprisings are changing the political landscape of the region.

  • Musicians!!

    We're searching for great new music produced by independent musicians and members of our global audience, so that we can be as non-corporate and copyright-free as possible. All genres -- from blues to electronica to world beats -- welcome!

    We like smart, political and well-produced music -- and are especially in search of possible new theme instrumentals. Please send it to Flashpoints, c/o KPFA, 1929 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Berkeley, CA 94704, or email your Mp3s at flashpointsproducer@gmail.com with full descriptions and credits.
