(SHOW THEME)
BILLBOARD - Susan Barnett (Music Out)
(:36)
Minority women are dying of cancer in this country. They're tested later and they don't participate in clinical trials that offer cutting edge therapies. Dr. Sharon Ufberg speaks with Dana Dornsife, the founder of the Lazarex Cancer Foundation. Lazarex works to get late stage cancer patients into new treatments and they're now focusing on an effort to help save more minority women.

A recent Gallup poll indicates that the Republican party leaders are usually white, usually men, and usually attend church weekly. So you might be surprised to learn that the Chair of San Francisco's Republican party is an Indian-American woman who's Sikh. Harmeet Dhillon is a civil rights lawyer who represents minorities in discrimination cases. And she used to be on the board of the ACLU - a body that often takes an opposing stance to the Republicans. Maybe it's no surprise that in the politically bluest of the blue San Francisco, the head of the GOP seems a little different from many of her fellow Republicans. KALW's Hana Baba sat down with Harmeet Dhillon.

Discussions about building a sustainable economy rarely make connections between an economy dominated by military and corporate interests - the current US model - with climate change and record high joblessness. Green Acre Radio's Martha Baskin interviews YES! Magazine's Sarah van Gelder. Van Gelder believes working for a sustainable and fair economy can go a long way toward addressing joblessness and other major crises facing the nation.
