Today's Well-read Red is Frann Michel's discussion of the relations between queer and immigrant groups. There are more connections that you might have guessed, as they face parallel and overlapping obstacles. One writer recommends as a principle governing the treatment of all of us "the right to travel and thrive, even across borders."

Bill Resnick explores rising food prices and world hunger and what the UN and the major countries are (not) doing.

Frann Michel hosts a segment of the Well-Read Red on solidarities between LGBTQ and immigrant activism. And we'll hear more music by Pink Martini and an exploration of their politics.
