My husband, former Congressman Dennis Kucinich and I first met twenty years ago over a rather unromantic yet profoundly important topic: monetary reform. The second time we met we were engaged and three months later we were married.

It was 2005, and, at that time, I had spent nearly a decade working with the Forum for Stable Currencies, a group based at the House of Lords in London, dedicated to exploring banking malpractice and the hidden mechanics of money creation and its systemic impact on society.

My journey into this lesser-known field began much earlier, in my teenage years, when a deep concern for the root causes of social and ecological destruction led me to ask a fundamental question: What is the greatest systemic driver of these crises?

Through a series of seemingly serendipitous encounters, I discovered monetary reform—a topic rarely discussed, yet foundational to the structure of our economy and the fate of nations.

Dr. Bob Fitrakis and Dan-o Dougan raise their fists as they play all the great songs of Resistance through US history from "Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around" from the civil rights movement to Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" and many more!

Donald Trump and his allies are ramping up their war on public media. They’re threatening to cut funding for PBS and NPR, launching politically motivated investigations, and even forcing PBS to shut down its diversity and inclusion office.

Why? Because independent, fact-based journalism doesn’t serve Trump’s agenda.

The FCC, now stacked with Trump loyalists, is targeting NPR and PBS, looking for excuses to justify gutting their funding. And Trump’s allies in Congress are eager to go along, calling public media “biased” as they push to silence it.

PBS and NPR provide trusted news, educational programming, and cultural content to millions of Americans. If Trump succeeds, we lose one of the last remaining sources of independent public media.

Congress must act. Sign the petition now to demand they protect PBS and NPR from Trump’s attacks.

Our right to protest is under attack—and we’re fighting back. Greenpeace USA is facing a $300 million SLAPP lawsuit from the oil giant behind the Dakota Access Pipeline – an attack to silence us and potentially destroy the organization. But this isn’t just about us. This is part of a much bigger effort by billionaires and corporations to crush dissent and rewrite the rules to serve their own greed. We’re not backing down—we’re getting louder.

That’s why we’re launching Protest on Trial: A Series for Democracy – a weekly webinar series every Thursday from February 20 to March 27 as this trial unfolds. These sessions will bring you inside updates from the courtroom and conversations with frontline activists, legal experts, and movement leaders on the broader threats and strategies to fight back—for protest, for free speech, and for democracy itself.
