‘The Green Hour’ is produced on Arlington Independent Media (AIM), the Arlington public access cable TV channel (69 Comcast and 38 Verizon). “The Green Hour’ is meant to discuss important social justice and environmental issues from a Green and Green Party perspective, but includes interviews with activists who are not necessarily Greens.

Currently, the program is featuring an interview with Green Party county board candidate Audrey Clement. This program will air through March 25, Wednesdays at 12:30pm, Saturdays at 9:30am, Sundays at 11:30pm. See AIM’s schedule too for other broadcast times http://arlingtonmedia.org/schedule

Because this is not a regularly scheduled series, the Green Hour is not in line to be allotted a regular time slot in the programming. However, there are five future programs in the works; an interview with Green Party presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein, a discussion on voter suppression laws and other important Virginia issues with Kevin Simowitz of Virginia Organizing, a program and subsequent documentary on development, gentrification, and the lack of affordable housing, and a discussion of school system environmental sustainability.

We will keep you posted on viewing times. Plus, there is the possibility of the programs streaming on internet. Stay tuned.

The ‘Green Hour’ was initiated several years ago, with a several year hiatus between productions. The earlier programs featured a three part series by Paul Hughes of the Northern Virginia Greens delineating the overwhelming abuses of corporate power in our society, two programs attacking the unconstitutional invasion of Iraq and the mistaken Western policy toward Iran, and an interview with Sam Smith of the Green Party, discussing the disenfranchisement of the American people in a society of total impunity.

All the above programs will be available free to organizations for non-commercial use; just email the Arlington Greens.
