YES! Presents: Rising Up With Sonali, is your weekly antidote to the doom and gloom of mainstream news, lifting up solutions that bring us closer to economic, racial, gender, and environmental justice. The program is hosted and executive produced by Sonali Kolhatkar, Racial Justice Editor at YES! Media.

This week, well examine the on-going, decades-long fight for justice for the survivors of the Bhopal disaster, the largest industrial accident in world history. Amnesty Internationals Mark Dummett will explain how people are continuing to suffer while Dow Chemical drags its feet, and how justice can be won.

Then well turn to the trend among elite higher education institutions of resuming SAT requirements. As Yale, Harvard and Caltech resume SAT scores in their admissions, Harry Feder of the group FairTest will explain why standardized testing is sexist, racist, and classist and how thousands of schools remain test-free.

Finally, Stephanie Abraham commemorates Arab American Heritage month with a look at how communities in the U.S. can use it to demand justice for Gaza.
