When circumstances prevent the Freedom Team from entering a prison, they make the most of their time. Pastor Tom leads the team to a drug rehabilitation center and a children s home. Both the lives of the children and the Freedom Team are changed forever.

Correspondent Paul Beban takes us on a harrowing journey to a massive slum that is dependent on the detritus of humanity. Thousands live, work, play, and pray in a sprawling garbage dump. As third-world cities experience explosive growth, sub-cultures sprout up on their edges, living on the remains. But this may be what upward mobility looks like.

Slums - The Town of Traitors (English Dubbed Version)

Worldwide, more than a billion people live in slums. As many as one million of them in the Kenyan slum of Kibera. Slum Survivors tells the stories of a few of them and charts their remarkable courage in the face of extreme poverty.

A talk by Richard Pithouse at The Soho Theatre, Dean Street London W1. 05/06/2007 According to UN research it is predicted that, by 2030, half the world s population will be living in slums. What are the forms of political action emerging in these 'naked cities', where the populace are effectively refugees without basic amenities, let alone rights? One inspirational example is the South African shack dwellers movement, Abahlali baseMjondolo. Abahlali have fought for the right of Durban's shack dwellers to basic amenities - housing, water, land. This democratic grassroots movement has confronted the lies and evasions of local government and aid agencies to show that real participatory democracy is possible: when it is organised by and for the dispossessed. Richard Pithouse, an academic and journalist who has been active in the movement since its inception, will speak to David Cunningham (University of Westminster) about Abahlali and show some films documenting the struggle. This talk is co-organised by Mute magazine, which recently published Richard Pithouse s article Thinking Resistance in the Shanty Town http://www.metamute.org/en/node/8258/print [1] http://www.abahlali.org/ [2]

STOCK MARKET AND ECONOMY UPDATE : The Federal Reserve slashed interest rates this morning in the hopes of fending off a much-predicted drop in the stock market. Observers say it was the biggest single cut in more than two decades, but its impact on Wall Street is still an open question. Join Kojo for a look at the latest on the economy and how the average person should respond. (13 min.) THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD'S SLUMS: From Johannesburg to Rio de Janeiro, the crowded shantytowns that spring up on the edge of big cities are often a source of political turmoil and crime. But today's urban planners are beginning to rethink their assumptions about urban slums, which are home to more than one billion people worldwide. We explore the latest thinking on these complex communities. (26 min.)

When you think of poor what do you think of? Those that can't afford a car? Those that don't have cable? How about those that don't have water? or those that have to catch their meal? Please watch this video and take a second to think. What could 1% of your income do for these people? What do you spend 1% of your income on... coffee, lottery tickets, soda, a bag of chips? I do not ask you to support and carry the poor. I do not ask you to change your way of life. In fact I do not ask anything of you. What matters, is what you ask of yourself and you do with that answer.

How the World Social Forum Got Hijacked By Davey D When I first arrived at the World’s Social Forum in Nairobi, Kenya, things didn’t seem right from the very moment I got off the plane. I couldn’t quite place it, but things seemed a bit disorganized. It ranged from the Hotel suddenly not having any record of my reservation and an accounting of my room which we prepaid for to the registration process which became an all day affair with people from the US having to pay damn near 10 times as much as people from other places. Banks that were supposed to be open were closed, buses that were supposed to be available suddenly weren’t. At first I kept my complaints to myself, but as the day progressed I overheard and later saw lots more people complain about the total disorganization. What disturbed me were the excuses that were given. I kept hearing over and over again, that we all needed to be patient, because the WSF was in Nairobi which is a Third World City. In other words, because this prestigious event designed to bring thousands from all around the world to address and strategize around Social Justice issues, was in Africa, we could expect confusion and mayhem. Poverty in this beautiful country prevented people from bringing things up to speed. A lot of folks seemed to accept it, but it didn’t sit well with me. I recall telling a couple of folks, that there’s a big difference between not having certain luxuries or amenities and shit just being janky. I been around poor people all my life who don’t have everything, but their graceful demeanor and their commitment to executing a task always overshadowed what they were lacking. Me going to a hotel that attempted to double charge me because they couldn’t ‘find’ my information, an outrageous registration process that had be going from one side of town to another because the banks that were supposed to be open suddenly closed, representatives for a huge corporate cell phone company being the one handling my registration at a world event that was supposed to be shunning mega-corporations was not the result of poor people not being able to do for self. It was just some straight up jankiness. I wasn’t giving Africa-the motherland a pass on this one. Some thought I was being a bit impatient and not too understanding, but I’m glad I stuck to my guns, because my suspicions were concerned on the opening day of the forum when several dozens youths from the Korogocha slums showed up at the WSF at great risk to their personal safety and freedom let everyone know exactly what was going on. They stood in front of the only eatery at the WSF site which was charging crazy prices for food and had people waiting more then an hour just to get something that wasn’t all that good in the first place. ‘Shame on You Fellow Kenyans-Shame on You for Exploiting the People” they yelled. They told people not to eat at the food court as they fanned out and blocked the entrance. They then laid out hand made signs that read ‘The World Social Forum Has Been Hijacked’ , reduce Prices for Kenyans’ and ‘No Capitalism for People in the Ghetto’. One of the organizers began running it down for anyone who would listen. He explained that the WSF had been hijacked by corrupt government officials and mega corporations whop they were in bed with. They pointed out Kenya’s Interior Secretary as the main culprit who they accused of exploiting the WSF for personal gain. They spoke passionately of how the average Kenya could not afford to attend the WSF where issues about homelessness, poverty and the health of poor people were being discussed. The people who are most impacted by these social ills found themselves having to spend like half a weeks salary to attend. The protestors wanted to know why the WSF wasn’t free or at least affordable for Kenyans. They also wanted to know whey they were not included in the planning process. They gave a serious run down of how the WSF got compromised and explained that this disorganization many of us were experiencing was the result of greedy officials who put a bad mark on all Kenyans. The protestors then blew the whistle about how shady things were when they pointed out that the high priced food court was owned by the Interior Secretary and that his cousin was the head of the police force that had started to show up in mass to remove the protestors. One by one WSF participants removed themselves from the food court to show solidarity with the cats from Korogocho. It wasn’t long before the only people remaining where Europeans. It was a surreal site and very blatant. My co-anchor Angelica went over and tried to interview those who chose to remain in the mists of this spirited protest. Only one person a guy from Canada would speak. He complained that if he didn’t sit there and eat and he would have no place else to go and he wasn’t about to walk around the forum remaining hungry. He wasn’t trying to be down with the protest. The police showed up and made their way inside the food court and pulled out their batons. A Latina organizer named Alma Rosa from New Mexico immediately went over the line of police and started engaging them. A veteran organizer, she had perfected the tactic of negotiating with police to get them not to exert violence on protestors in the US. She successfully applied those skillz that day ay the forum. It wasn’t long before she had the police all yielding batons laughing and according to Alma Rosa eventually seeing that it would be sad day for them to be beating on fellow Kenyans with the whole world watching. I spoke to one of the main Korogocho activists a young brother named Francis and asked him what sort of ramifications will there be for them calling out government officials. Without hesitation he said before nightfall, some of them will be sitting in jail cells. He said the police will make their moves on the protestors away from the WSF. During the protests Francis can heard chanting –Please don’t eat in the food court- These people are criminals-They will one day kill us…At the time no one thought nothing of it. Two days later two of the protestors would be assassinated by Kenyan police under suspicious circumstances. We got the word of the police killing on our last day in Kenya when one of the organizers sought our group out at the closing ceremonies and explained that the cops had pulled over a car that had two of the protestors. The cops supposedly found a gun and without saying a word shot the two people. According to folks in the slum areas the police will shoot you with no questions asked if they find you with a gun. In fact the weekend we were in Nairobi, some 13 people were shot and killed by police in the slum areas. At first the story of the police killing seemed outlandish. Certainly the 5-0 wouldn’t be that brazen. Later that day we went to Korogocho with some members of the Malcolm X Grassroots Committee and got confirmation that indeed two people had been killed by the police and not much else was being said. Now listening to Francis words about ‘the Government wanting to kill them took on a new and more sinister meaning. It also hit home, that those of us who helped out or in my case actually reported on the protest should watch our step. There ain’t no telling what can go down in a country that is thousands and thousands of miles away from home, especially when you got powerful people being called out for corruption and being accused of undermining the WSF. I made sure my tapes were tucked away safely, my stories uploaded to the radio station and I kept my passport in a safe and stayed close to the hotel. The story that many people around the world got to see or hear about took place two days after the opening day protests when scores of young kids showed up at the WSF and went straight to the food court and demanded to be fed. That was a heartbreaking sight onto itself as things got out of hand. Hungry, desperate kids were grabbing dirty newspapers, stained t-shirts or just using their bare hands to get the hot scalding food (pasta and stew). Some of the reporters were moved to stop taking pictures and help out, while others were callous and uncaring and just watched as these kids went nuts trying to get whatever scraps of food they could gather. The entire ordeal was beyond disturbing. We were on the scene and covered most of the protest. As you listen keep in mind most of these protestors were around 16-17 years old. Keep in mind two of them lost their lives as they blew the whistle on government corruption.
