Brave New Foundation

In Brave New Conversations, we bring your favorite progressive voices into our studios for an intimate one-on-one chat -- the voices not normally given a platform by mainstream media, or those who have something to say that mainstream media doesn't really want to hear. The Yes Men. Amy Goodman. Thom Hartmann. Shepard Fairey. Benjamin Bratt. Janeane Garofalo. Tom Morello. Maxine Waters. Henry Rollins... they've all joined the Conversation.

This year, Christmas Eve falls on the 3,000th day that U.S. forces have been in Afghanistan, as well as the 30th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of the very same nation. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was a disaster and they proved that you cannot win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people through troop surges, and continued occupation. It is critical to note that while we do not view this as an occupation of Afghanistan, it is clear that the people of Afghanistan view our presence as just that.
