Robert Greenwald, producer of the Wal*Mart movie, sent this message today (excerpt):

Brave New Thursday.

To further movement building, we've begun a very exciting collaboration in television working with LinkTV, the ACLU and the Sierra Club. The second Thursday of each month will premiere two new 30 minute shows at 8pm ET/PT on LinkTV (DirecTV 375 and Dish Network 9410), and on the Sierra Club & ACLU websites.

The ACLU Freedom Files is a 10-part series telling the stories of real Americans whose civil liberties have been threatened, and how they fought back. Jeremy Kagan has done a terrific job personalizing these issues, and very soon the shows will be airing on Court TV reaching 80 million homes.

Airing this Thursday is "Beyond the Patriot Act", a very timely look at how a misguided law and government overreactions to Sept. 11 have violated the constitutional freedoms of many ordinary people. Catch a preview clip.

The Sierra Club Chronicles is a 7-part series showing how pollution, corporate greed and short-sighted government policies affect all of us regardless of race, class, or economic standing. Molly O'Brien and Richard Perez are the amazing duo behind the Chronicles. The absolute must-see first episode is about "The World Trade Center Cough" -- the respiratory problems of those involved in the search and rescue operation on 9/11. Catch a preview clip
