Listen here. Just Across The Border is a hip hop album with a revolutionary attitude. From bass-heavy speaker-blasting hip hop to cinematic musical epilogues and raw sonic beauty, Just Across The Border is truth-exposing, riot-inspiring music to tear down borders and break down the walls of racism and injustice we live under. News:- Lenin Moreno from the ruling Alianza Pais has been elected President of Ecuador, replacing Rafael Correa.Jacob and Zane interview Susan Rayes from the Ashburton Residents Action group. The residents group is fighting plans by the Andrews government to privatise public housing land and build a bulky private development on the land to raise funds. Rayes says the land should all be retained for public use, with expanded (but appropriately scaled) public housing built on the site. Listen here.Activist calendar Jacob and Zane interview Mary Merkenich from the Teachers and ES Alliance (TESA). The teachers union (AEU) leadership is avoiding taking industrial action to help secure a better deal for teachers in Victoria. Teachers in the public system have to deal with unweildy class sizes and work many hours of unpaid overtime so it is especially problematic that the union leadership is acting as a brake on members who are prepared and willing to strike.TESA is campaigning for members to vote against the EBAuntil it is improved, which would necessitate taking industrial action.Listen here.
