GRITtv is away this week and airing some our best shows from the last few months. We'll be back with new content next Monday.  

Former Bank of America employee Chris Feener says that little has changed at BoA since the company received billions of dollars in tax-payer money. The company continues to use what Feener calls guerrilla collection tactics. Compensation is also often tied to performance, i.e. the amount of debt collected and Feener says that bonuses of five to $6,000 dollars were often awarded on a monthly basis. Feener’s had enough and he’s speaking out.

We’re also joined by the SEIU’s Stephen Lerner and Max Fraad Wolff, a professor of economics at the New School University's Graduate Program in International Affairs.

Then, efforts to deliver aid and medical supplies to the people of Gaza have become increasingly difficult. On June 30, a vessel carrying humanitarian aid was turned away by Israeli gunships and the activists were arrested and held for seven days before being deported. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency has been on the ground providing aid to the people of Gaza for 60 years. 

Huwaida Arraf, chairperson of the Free Gaza Movement and Christopher Gunness, a spokesperson for theUnited Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), on deteriorating conditions in Palestine and why much more needs to be done to bring an end to Israel’s hermetic closure and collective punishment of Gaza. You can find more on efforts to bring aid to the region at Viva Palestina. 

Finally, the story of Bay Area journalist Josh Wolf. A film about his first amendment battle, Lone Wolf, recently won the Media Justice award at the Media Matters Film Festival.

Thanks to Ishmahil Blagrove and Rice N Peas films and Kate Clinton for video in tonight’s show.
