Wondering how to sustain radical feminist organizations over the long haul? Take a listen to WLRN's Edition 34 dedicated to an in depth exploration of the Vancouver Rape Relief Center & Women's Shelter that has been in existence for 45 years. Our program starts off with the greeting by Damayanti, WLRN’s youngest member from India, who also delivers our world news segment this month. The world news is followed by a radio skit by Jenna and Thistle to help get the word out about our fundraiser to raise $150 for WLRN's own hard drive to back up all of our media files. Next, is the song Dead Men Don't Rape by 7 Year Bitch followed by an interview Julia did with Laurel McBride of the Vancouver Rape Relief Collective. Dominique Christina is next with her spoken-word piece called "The Period Poem" and is from a live recording WLRN captured of Christina performing it at the Vancouver Rape Relief Center's annual Montreal Massacre Remembrance event in early December of last year. Then, learn a ton from member of the Vancouver Rape Relief Collective since 1978, Lee Lakeman as she speaks with WLRN's Robin Long about the herstory of their organization. Finally, enjoy the profound and thoughtful commentary this month delivered by WLRN's Sekhmet SheOwl. Thanks for staying tuned to feminist community powered radio.
