Sara Flounders is co-founder of the International Action Center, as well as a member of the United National Antiwar Coalition, a contributing editor for Workers World and a coordinator of the Sanctions Kill campaign. She joins us from Jersey City, New Jersey to discuss her work as editor of the newly published anthology, 'Sanctions: A Wrecking Ball in a Global Economy.'
