"Rising Gas Prices Are Hurting Nonprofits"
After reading "Rising Gas Prices Are Hurting Nonprofits," a recent article by Lyneka Little from the financial website, thestreet.com, I realize that the next time I'm tempted to groan about the high price of gasoline, I'll have to do it only after reminding myself that nonprofits groups that are trying to help other people are having a much tougher time than I am. In some cases, help from nonprofits can make the difference between life and death for those who depend on them. Journalist Lyneka Little writes, "Gas prices are not only hurting millions financially, but it may be costing some seniors their lives." Enid Borden, President and CEO of Meals on Wheels Association of America, says "sometimes volunteers are only able to go out once a week, or once every other week." Lyneka Little and Enid Borden join me to talk about the challenges the nonprofit now faces and ways the rest of us can help.
Spike Lee. General Wesley Clark. And 108 films representing 63 countries, selected from 1,861 submissions: It must be Silverdocs 2008.
"An international film festival, taking place June 16 through June 23, 2008 [Silverdocs] honors excellence in filmmaking, supports the diverse voices and free expression of independent storytellers and celebrates the power of documentary to improve our understanding of the world. It's now in its sixth year. Filmmaker Scott Hamilton Kennedy and featured actress, Rufina Juarez, join me to talk about making the documentary, The Garden. The film "explores and exposes the fault lines in American society and raises crucial and challenging questions about liberty, equality, and justice for the poorest and most vulnerable among us."
Reconsidering the Glass Ceiling: How Much Has Changed for Women in the Workforce Over the Past Three Decades?
-- Senator Hillary Clinton was the first viable female contender for the presidency of the United States. Carly Fiorina was the first woman to run a Fortune 20 company in 1999. The Wall Street Journal recently featured 50 Women to Watch. Does this mean sexism is gone from the workplace? Harriet Rubin, journalist, author and founder of the prestigious Doubleday business imprint Currency joins me to talk about her compelling cover story, "Sexism in the Workplace", in the May 2008 issue of Conde Nast's Portfolio Magazine. (Originally broadcast in Spring 2008.)
