Meet Hawah Kasat -- who gave a startling TEDx talk on How Greed Could Save the World. What??? Isn't greed what's destroying the world? In a world that is crumbling between our fingers, is it possible that traditional non-profits are actually distracting us from solving the underlying problems that make them needed in the first place? Hawah invites us to reflect more deeply on whether we are spending our time and energy effectively. What if we fundamentally rethink what nonprofits and businesses look like? What if we start with the premise that helping a few struggling people when millions are suffering is not good enough? What if we get more greedy and stop being content with anything less than lasting, systems-level change?Hawah has dedicated his life to teaching about solutions to violence and ways to peace.He is Founder of “One Common Unity,” a non-profit that inspires a culture of non-violence through music, arts, and education. Author of 4 books, he produced 4 documentary films (including the acclaimed “Fly By Light”), 2 musical CDs, and is the creator/editor of “The Poetry of Yoga” book anthology featuring Grammy award-winning musicians and master yoga teachers. In 2019, Hawah was the recipient of Georgetown University's “Legacy of a Dream” award honoring an inspirational emerging leader whose work embodies the values and spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.Hawah also interviewed David Gallup of the World Citizen Government on his podcast The Everlutionary Podcast!hawahkasat.com--- See the video and ask questions of future guests at: theworldismycountry.com/club Music by: „World Citizen“ Jahcoustix feat.

In honor of President Carter's lifetime of Peacebuilding, please join us for a special Podcast with the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution at George Mason University. We will be joined by Charles E. Davidson, Ph.D. who directs the school's Center for Peace Technology and heads the Rotary/Carter School Collaboration for Peace. “For decades, the Carters tirelessly walked in the shoes of the people they strived to empower, transforming countless lives in the process,” Davidson says. “We teach our students to identify the underlying causes of conflict and equip them with the cutting-edge theory and practical skills to put their knowledge into action, whether that be at the local, national, or global level.” “The Carters were trailblazers in peacebuilding and justice,” said Alpaslan Özerdem, dean of the Carter School. “We are furthering the Carter legacy in conflict resolution through our research and practice. His insight, passion, and love for peace will remain our inspiration in educating future peacemakers.” This program is co-hosted by the Rotary Online Mega-Meeting Platform which Ozuem Esiri founded and built into the largest single online gathering of Rotarians. “This special meeting is not just for Rotarians,” Ozuem says, "It is for everyone who wants to further the peacebuilding work of the great President Carter.” --- See the video and ask questions of future guests at: theworldismycountry.com/club Music by: „World Citizen“ Jahcoustix feat.

In Celebration of World Citizen Action Week -- the 76th anniversary of when Garry Davis became a World Citizen -- we'll discuss Will Reed's future memoir, PINBALLED, the story of a free-thinking, nonconformist's lifelong fight for what always eluded him – a place to live and call home. A soldier during the bloodiest part of the Vietnam War in 1968, Will returned to Vietnam as an independent journalist – exchanging his combat boots for pen, paper, and a camera. Determined to expose the graft and human rights abuses he had witnessed, his investigation landed him in a rat-infested Vietnamese prison. “Being in a dank, fetid South Vietnamese jail, held without charges, all I could think of was getting out”, Will says in his memoir. “Hours after my release, outraged by my own government's treatment of me and its contempt for the Vietnamese people, I renounced my U.S. citizenship.” Facing further incarceration, he fled overland through Khmer Rouge-controlled Cambodia before sneaking into Thailand where he was jailed for illegal entry. “As I pleaded unsuccessfully for asylum, my unusual case became a cause célèbre – attracting international press attention and letters from supporters worldwide.” Finally, with the help of World Citizen Garry Davis, he was delivered a World passport in jail and was eventually granted asylum in France. Today, he is retired and living in Paris. Check out his INDIEGOGO CAMPAIGN!

“Has a doll long criticized for perpetuating outdated gender norms and unrealistic body image become a feminist icon?” NPR asked; “The movie takes place largely in Barbieland, a candy-colored, women-centered utopia where Barbies hold the positions of power (all of the jobs, really, except for "beach") and Kens are essentially peripheral.” The Kens revolt - take over, start wars with each other, and try to dominate. We invited Dr. Riane Eisler, the distinguished author of “The Chalice and the Blade” to give us her perspective on the “Barbie” movie. In "The Chalice and the Blade” Riane tells a new story of our cultural origins. She shows that war and the “war of the sexes” are neither divinely nor biologically ordained. Her research reveals that human society originated in female/male partnership but was then coerced into a dominator society. She goes on to show us that a better future is possible in partnership! Anthropologist Ashley Montagu called it “the most important book since Darwin's Origin of Species”. Dr. Riane Eisler is President of the Center for Partnership Studies and has received many honors, including honorary Ph.D. degrees, the Alice Paul ERA Education Award, and the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation's 2009 Distinguished Peace Leadership Award, and is featured in the award-winning book Great Peacemakers as one of 20 leaders for world peace, along with Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and Martin Luther King.

Dennis Aftergut, a former federal prosecutor named “Lawyer of the Year” by California Lawyer Magazine for his pioneering work in litigation that was a stepping-stone toward same-sex marriage equality. Working now with Lawyers Defending American Democracy, Dennis writes and co-writes opinion pieces that have been published in The New York Times, Washington Post, NBC News, CNN, The Guardian, NBCThink, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, Slate, Salon and more. See https://muckrack.com/dennis-aftergut/articles In the early 1970s, Dennis worked with Arthur Kanegis in the NARMIC team at the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), using research and investigation to educate people about the ongoing Vietnam War. Incorporating the ads of the manufactures of the weapons with the children their products maimed, NARMIC made a powerful pre-VHS documentary which sold 1,500 copies, each used widely in the movement to stop the Vietnam war. Also highly documented was their budget analysis co-produced with the Indochina Resource Center (IRC) that exposed the dark realities of nice-sounding US Aid programs. Congress people used it to cut appropriations. When the US military effort collapsed and Ambassador Graham Martin was helicoptered off the Saigon embassy roof, he blamed IRC for triggering the end of the war. Traveling recently to Vietnam, Dennis made heartfelt connections with people the US government had called our enemies. -- See the video at: www.theworldismycountry.com/club -- Music by: „World Citizen“ Jahcoustix feat.

What if the key to our future lies in our past? Realizing that law as a “battle” was actually a weak force not serving his clients needs so much as perpetuating the “war machine of litigation,” Eric Sirotkin shifted his legal skills into honing Gandhi's “weapon of the strong.” He discovered that Satyagraha-based holistic spheres of collaborative and integrative law are a more powerful way to serve his clients and humanity. Eric weaves together the core wisdom of Navajo, Sioux, Onondaga, Andes Shamen, Hindu mystics, Buddhist monks and tribal elders around the planet with that of Einstein, Dr. ML King, Bishop Tutu to recognize that the interconnected principle of Ubuntu -- building peace and relationship through experiencing our intrinsic interconnection - has existed throughout time in non-dominant cultures. He founded UbuntuWorks.org, a 501(c)3 non-profit educational organization dedicated to infusing ubuntu-based principles into education, workplaces, finance and other institutions.

Riane Eisler, JD, PhD(h), is recipient of the Distinguished Peace Leadership Award (earlier given to the Dalai Lama) and she is internationally known for her ground-breaking contributions as a systems scientist, historian and futurist. Learn of the exciting advances in Eisler's work since “The Chalice & The Blade” and how the Partnership system can help us build what Garry Davis called a “People Powered Planet!” In “The Real Wealth of Nations,” for example, she shows that the great problems of our time — such as poverty, inequality, war, terrorism, and environmental degradation — are due largely to flawed economic systems. She offers a model of a caring economy that transcends traditional categories like capitalist and socialist and offers enormous economic and social benefits. Nobel Peace Laureate Desmond Tutu hailed it as "a template for the better world we have been so urgently seeking.” Eisler offers new perspectives for constructing less violent and more egalitarian, gender-balanced, and sustainable future societies. Riane Eisler is President of the Center for Partnership Systems, Editor in Chief, of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies, and distinguished professor at Meridian University.

Peter Meisen heads the World Energy commission of the World Citizen Government founded by Garry Davis. The inspiration for his life's work came from meeting the visionary engineer Buckminster Fuller and reading his seminal book “Critical Path.” Dr. Fuller created the global gaming simulation, The World Game – “to make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological damage or disadvantage to anyone.” Peter launched the Global Energy Network Initiative (GENI) to promote linking renewable energy resource around the world. The GENI initiative has earned the endorsements of 7 Nobel Peace Laureates, and newsman Walter Cronkite calling it “the best solution to peace and sustainable development he's seen.” After 30 years, the world has now embraced this solution, just far too slowly. He developed The SIMCenter, a surround visualization tool, like a Mission Control Room, that enables collective understanding and dialogue. He's helping to create many SIMCenters in partnership with universities and city leadership -- to help City leaders deal with complex, interconnected problems, highlighting need options and strategies. -- See the video at: PeoplePoweredPlanet.com -- Music by: „World Citizen“ Jahcoustix feat.
