Jaws of Justice Radio
It is the intention of Jaws of Justice Radio to investigate how to achieve justice in America, this includes issues of economic injustice, political injustice and the criminal justice system. We want to put a human face on those caught in the grasp of injustice and those that are part of an unjust system. We strive to dispel the misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system.
Move The Money Listening Project
Should our taxes go to build big public projects, pay for infrastructure for private development, or to rebuild public infrastructure and neighborhoods? What are the most pressing unmet needs in our communities? The American Friends Service Committee KC initiated the Move the Money Listening Project in which they identified community leaders with insights into the lives of residents of the Kansas City metro and held 43 Listening Sessions to learn what they thought about community needs, austerity, the impact of budget cutting, revenue policy, military spending and priorities that would improve the lives of area residents.
Host Melvin Merritt talks with Ira Harritt of AFSC KC to find out what they heard. You are encouraged to look at the report before or during the show and write your questions down and call in. 816-931-5534
