Obama: A View from the Left

Excerpts of Interview with 'Cappy' Israel of Santa Cruz, California. Recorded mid October 2008 on Pacific Avenue where Ms. Israel was staffing a table for WILPF, the Women's International League for Peace & Freedom. [She is a member of the Santa Cruz chapter: http://wilpf.got.net/.]

Their Web site states: "The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom was founded in 1915 during World War I with Jane Addams as its first president. WILPF works to achieve through peaceful means world disarmament; full rights for women; racial and economic justice; an end to all forms of violence; and to establish those political, social, and psychological conditions which can assure peace, freedom, and justice for all."

A related video* features Ms. Israel performing a classic tune, one familiar to U.K. soccer fans, with new lyrics.
