 In this episode of Good News for Lefties, host Beowulf Rochlen brings you a collection of empowering stories that demonstrate the strength of community and progressive values. We kick off with a groundbreaking poll revealing that 85% of Democratic voters favor Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a leader who will confront corporate greed and fight for the working class. This overwhelming support highlights a unifying desire among Democrats for a more aggressive stance against their political adversaries.
Next, we celebrate the tentative agreement reached by San Francisco teachers after their historic strike, marking the first in decades. Their resilience has led to better wages and health benefits, showcasing the power of collective action in advocating for educators and students alike.
In environmental news, a significant conservation effort will protect over 5,000 acres of forest land surrounding Shenandoah National Park, ensuring the preservation of vital ecosystems for future generations.
We also highlight a bipartisan effort in Congress to end President Trump's emergency tariffs on Canada, reflecting a growing willingness among Republicans to prioritize the needs of working families over partisan loyalty.
In a listener-suggested story, we learn about the surge in renewable energy, with solar and wind expected to dominate new U.S. generating capacity by 2026, marking a shift towards a more sustainable future.
Finally, we celebrate the protection of over 1,400 mountain lions in California under the state's Endangered Species Act, a crucial step in safeguarding wildlife and their habitats.

Join us for this uplifting episode filled with stories of progress, resilience, and the ongoing fight for justice!
