This week on Talk World Radio we're talking about campus activism. Our guest, Francis Burns, is a student organizer at Cornell University and a native of Ithaca, New York. He grew up in a family of Catholic Workers who were deeply involved in the anti-war movement throughout the early 2000s. His father was one of the Saint Patrick’s Four. At Cornell, he is vice president of the Cornell progressives and students for justice in Palestine, which are focused on direct action and education surrounding Palestine and other leftist causes on campus. He is currently working on Graham Platner's campaign in Maine for the U.S. Senate.
