  Intergenerational Approaches to Social Justice Work: Learning from the Past to Advance Future Conversations Across Values Divides  Talk It Out Radio: Friday, November 15, 2024, 3:00 pm on KPFA Radio 94.1 FM (Berkeley and beyond) or livestream at kpfa.org: Host Nancy Kahn welcomes guests Aparna Rajagopal and Raju Rajagopal to a timely conversation about intergenerational approaches to social justice work across values divides. Both guests have worked at the intersection of human rights, and bring their voices of resistance to caste, racism, and all forms of bigotry and oppression. As father and daughter, they dedicate time to sharing their work with one another and engaging in conversations about their perspectives and approaches across a generational divide.  At a time when this country needs champions with both the experience, wisdom, and deep sensitivity around ways to engage people in generative and respectful dialogue. Aparna and Raju share their generational approaches to holding difficult conversations (differences/similarities), particularly in the wake of the even more deeply divided America that we are facing with the Trump re-presidency. This conversation brings the best of humanity to the table to expand and reimagine new possibilities for how we advance civil and human rights advocacy and environmental justice work.   Listen live or, after the show airs, visit the archives at kpfa.org/program/talk-it-out-radio or iTunes! APARNA RAJAGOPAL Aparna Rajagopal (she/her) is an agitator, artist, and advisor at the confluence of social justice and the environmental movement. She is cofounder of DEI consulting firm the Avarna Group, and serves on the Oregon Advocacy Commission for Asian & Pacific Islander Affairs and the Oregon Environmental Justice Council. In her many roles, she provides coaching, training, facilitation, presentations, strategic consulting, and thought leadership around DEI and the environmental movement. She is also writing a book that explores her story as a daughter of immigrants and nature lover to demonstrate how those of us who are not Indigenous to North America can nevertheless find belonging in this landscape.     RAJU RAJAGOPAL Raju Rajagopal, Co-Founder, Hindus for Human Rights (HfHR). Raju has spent over three decades working with Civil Society groups in India and has been active on a range of issues such as rural development, disaster management, governance and transparency, inter-faith harmony, and human rights. He shares his time between Berkeley, CA and Chennai, India and writes on social causes. Prior to engaging with the non-profit sector, he spent over three decades in the corporate world, retiring as the Chief Operating Officer of a publicly traded healthcare company in the U.S. Raju co-founded HfHR in 2019, whose mission is to “advocate for pluralism, civil and human rights in South Asian and North America, rooted in the values of our faith: shanti (peace), nyaya ( justice) and satya (truth). We provide a Hindu voice resistance to caste, Hindutva (Hindu nationalism), racism, and all forms of biogtry and oppression.”     The post Intergenerational Approaches to Social Justice Work: Learning from the Past to Advance Future Conversations Across Values Divides appeared first on KPFA.
