This week Dave hosted open lines.  Callers discussed various topics; from police issues to the TSA, to things they give thanks for.

The conversation doesn't end when the program does. You can join in additional discussion of the week's issue on our blog at kboo.fm/voicesfromtheedge  (click on the "blog" tab). You'll find additional information, important links, comments from other listeners and commentary from Jo Ann and Dave. Have a question for our guests, but can't call in during the program? Post your questions on line so we can make them a part of the Voices discussion.

As of October first, 2010, Squatting is now illegal in the Netherlands.
As an answer to the new eviction policy roughly a thousand squatters and sympathisers demonstrated on the first of October in Amsterdam. Out of the demo a house got squatted and the group remained for a while to support and celebrate this first so called "illegal squatting action". They hung many banners, one of which said "With hollow laws you cannot fill empty houses".

Tonight on Circle A Radio, we will talk with  Sonne, who has lived at her squat in Amsterdam for the past 7 years, and with Lisa Loving, Portland area journalist,  KBOO Volunteer and former squatter in Amsterdam.
 

On January 29th of 2010 Aaron Campbell was shot in the back and killed by Portland Police Officer Ronald Frashour. Less then two weeks later the grand jury decided there was no wrongdoing on the part of the officer that killed Campbell. Now, family members and the community are asking that the Portland Police be held accountable for the shooting of Aaron Campbell and other victims of police violence. Tonight on Circle A Radio we speak with Cathrine and Rassan, members of the Fire Frashour Campaign, who are asking for the permanent firing of Officer Frashour and other Killer Cops.

A celebration of civil rights: Susan Banyas and The Hillsboro Story

Two months after the historic Brown v. Board of Education decision legally ending school segregation, the county engineer of Hillsboro, Ohio - a white man determined to force integration in the segregated town - set fire to Lincoln School, the town's "colored" elementary school. The two-year protest lead by five African American mothers to carry forward the struggle sparked by that fire drew the NAACP's Thurgood Marshall and led to Clemons v. Board of Education the first test case for Brown in the North.
