Jaws of Justice Radio

Thank you for the generous support we received during our recent pledge drive. It keeps us going. Jaws of Justice Radio investigates how we can achieve justice from a system of laws deeply rooted in economic, social and political inequality.  We want to dispel misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system. We hope you will listen. Tune in to hear a recording from the August 19th Solidarity School of Resistance, Immigration 101 presented by Judy Ancel of The Cross Border Network for Justice and Solidarity Cross Border Network, Claire Murphy Shaw of The Asylum Clinic and Karla Juarez of Advocates for Immigrant Rights and Reconciliation (AIRR). The U.S. immigration system is complex and can be difficult to understand. Immigration in the United States is complex and ever-evolving. Explore layered topics like how and whether immigrants can become citizens and what individual protections look like under the law. The Cross Border Network for Justice and Solidarity is a grassroots organization based in Kansas City which recognizes the common interests of working people in the world and ​builds ties for common action among them. https://www.crossbordernetwork.org/ Luchando por los trabajadores entre fronteras! La Red Transfronteriza para la Justicia y la Solidaridad es una organización de base con sede en Kansas City, que reconoce los intereses comunes de los trabajadores en el mundo y construye vínculos de acción común entre ellos.   The Asylum Clinic promotes justice through the delivery of accessible legal services and support that empower underserved immigrants and refugees in The Heartland. https://www.asylumclinickc.org/ Advocates for Immigrant Rights and Reconciliation (AIRR) recognizes and is working tirelessly to keep families together and end the humanitarian crisis our immigrant community is facing on the belief that all people, no matter where they were born, deserve a chance at a safe and dignified life. AIRR is committed to empower and uplift the voices of the immigrant community and provide them with the tools they need to better protect themselves and their families. https://airrkc.org/ Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has recorded its deadliest year since the early 2000s as agency officials push to increase the number of people in its custody. At least 20 people have died in ICE custody so far this year. ICE is also holding nearly 60,000 people in immigration detention, the highest number in several years. Historians note that public opinion on accepting refugees and immigrants has not always been in line with the narrative of open arms. We find it difficult to live up to the promises made in those stories. Nevertheless, a story in which people are killed while in the care of the state points to a complete breakdown of the legal system. This reflects a real-world moral failure of the prison system, where authorities have a responsibility to protect those in their custody. On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society.  Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are. https://kkfi.org/listen/

Jaws of Justice Radio investigates how we can achieve justice from a system of laws deeply rooted in economic, social and political inequality.  We want to dispel misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system. We hope you will listen. "Lens of a Lawyer" is a podcast series hosted by David Bell that examines the justice system through the human stories and real-world issues behind the law.  It features conversations with people who have experienced the legal system, activists, and legal professionals. It aims to reveal the complexities of the justice system and the human stories behind legal issues, focusing on empathy and insight. The podcast explores what the justice system says about society and how real-world issues play out beyond headlines. “Lens of a lawyer” can mean a perspective on life and law from a lawyer's viewpoint, which involves applying their analytical skills, understanding of legal principles, and ability to assess risks and benefits to analyze situations and advocate for clients. A lawyer's "lens" involves using strong analytical skills to break down complex information and identify key legal principles at play. This perspective involves evaluating situations to propose viable solutions, negotiate disputes, and help clients make informed decisions. Lawyers view cases through the lens of their client's best interests, advocating for specific legal interpretations and actions that are most favorable to them. A deep understanding of relevant laws and procedures, enables them to explain legal options, risks, and benefits to their clients. A lawyer's perspective is also grounded in integrity and a commitment to justice, ensuring their actions are both ethical and effective. We begin our broadcast of this series with the episode, Lens of a Lawyer - Erik Hulse - Zen and the Art of Keeping Your Cool. Erik Hulse's journey is anything but ordinary.  He was once a troubled teen and gifted musician; he went on to serve as an undercover cop and eventually became a police captain. But it wasn't until he discovered Buddhism and mindfulness that he found real peace and purpose. Now a teacher of both, Erik joins David to talk about how crime and legal struggles often stem from a loss of control, and how practices like meditation and self-reflection can help us reclaim it. On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society.  Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.   https://kkfi.org/listen/

Fascism means many things but among its many noxious characteristics is Racism and Nationalism.  Today we will hear a talk by Devin Burghart, Executive Director of the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights (IREHR).  Devin spoke by Zoom to people gathered for a Tuesday Teach-In on July 22, 2025. https://irehr.org/ Since 1983, IREHR has served as a social justice organization dedicated to standing against bigotry and defending democracy and human rights. They unmask movements, organizations, and individuals that threaten democracy and human rights. They support movements advancing human rights. They use investigative research and strategic organizing to counter racism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, nativism, homophobia, and other forms of bigotry. Devin Burghart gave a frightening history of white supremacy terrorism in this country. Burghart traces the current strain of bigotry and hatred evident in parts of MAGA back to earlier movements including Asiatic Exclusion League of 1907, home and church bombings of civil rights activists of the 1960s, the anti-immigrant movement of the 1970s, the emergence of the Tea Party, and the current day neo reactionary, anarcho-libertarian "tech bros", i.e., Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Alex Carp, and Curtis Yarvin. “From Margins to Mainstream” - How the racist right has grown in power and influence presented by Devin Burghart, Executive Director Institute for Research and Education in Human Rights. On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society.  Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.
