July 13th Edition of Forward Forum

By: John Quinlan

Please join me, my co-host Harry Waisbren and producer Stephanie Woods for this week's Forward Forum, 7 pm Sunday on WTDY 1670 AM and streaming live and podcasting at www.wtdy.com.

On the Sunday evening, July 13th Forward Forum:

* A Dynamic Panel of Riders from the ACT 6 Wisconsin AIDS Ride (see http://www.actride.org/ for information on how you can lend your support). From Aug. 7-10, hundreds of dedicated volunteers will be riding and providing crew support to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to support prevention and treatment programs locally. It takes months of training--and the motivation for riding is often intensely personal--as you'll hear tonight from an group of this year's riders. Please be generous in your support of those who ride--and be there to cheer them on as each crosses the finish line during the highly inspiring closing ceremonies on Saturday, August, the 10th.

* Co-host Harry Waisbren continues his reports on the fusion between national movements for social change and UW-Madison activism. Harry is just back from a week in Washington, DC, where he attended the "Campus Progress" conference, and he's got some incredible stories to tell about the student-led aspect of the larger movement for change sweeping through our country.

* As always, a potpourri of upcoming local events, and thought-provoking discussions drawn from the week's headlines, including your chance to tell us about the events and issues that matter to you.
