DIRECTv channel 375 and Dish Network channel 9041
Link TV, the nation’s first national network to offer global perspectives on news, current events and culture, will premiere "Taking it Personally," a new television series hosted by lifelong activist and Body Shop founder Anita Roddick. Taking it Personally will explore the political, social and cultural issues behind the headlines. The series will explore the power of ordinary individuals to make a difference in the world by "taking global issues personally" whether by taking to the streets in protest, or simply, by making socially-conscious consumer choices. Future show topics will include media distortion, human-rights a buses, corporate greed, and more. Taking it Personally's premiere show, "The Joy of Dissent," will debut nationally on Link TV.
"The Joy of Dissent" features a distinguished line-up of the nation’s leading activists - Medea Benjamin of CodePink, John Sellers of the Ruckus Society and Kevin Danaher of Global Exchange and will explore the collective power of the human spirit in protest -- using music, creativity and humor. Taking it Personally will bring under-represented views and under-reported stories to national and international audiences.

November marks the anniversary of the assassination of two women and
six Jesuit priests in El Salvador in 1989. Nineteen of the twenty-six
Salvadoran army officers cited by a UN Truth Commission for this
atrocity were trained at the School of the Americas. Each year at
this time, thousands gather at the gates of Ft. Benning to
memorialize those who have died at the hands of soldiers trained at
this school as well as to take action in opposition to this training
and the U.S. foreign policy it represents.
