Listen to the April 18th broadcast of Sundays at Five by clicking the play button below.

Kate and Ali discuss the implications behind the radical right movement in this country with lawyer and SheSource expert, Tanya Acker. The focal point of the broadcast pivots upon the second amendment gun rallies which took place in Washington, D.C. on April 19th (a day that also happens to coincide with the Oklahoma City bombing); the overarching theme, however, grapples with trying to figure out ways to understand and deal with the radical elements of protest which we are facing here in the United States. Acker is a frequent participant on the media circuit, and serves as a key moderate voice which buffers the more extreme points of view.
