Coming up on today’s show, we have a patient and activist from the Mental Health Movement, Margaret Sullivan here to talk about occupying a clinic in Chicago to protest Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s cuts to mental health services.

We also have Ari Berman from the Nation Magazine back on the show to discuss why the Supreme Court matters.

We’ll also discuss the Occupy Sleepful protests in New York and Boston, a Boston police officer choking an Occupier at a homophobic Tea Party rally and the AFL-CIO’s Richard Trumka saying President Obama is making it hard for unions to energize members with his labor policies.

We also have an ad on how pregnancy now begins before conception in Jan Brewer’s Arizona.

Our writer/performer today is Kate Ward.
