What is the evidence? Where are the studies? There is no proof that cannabis can treat anything! Well…What if I told you there are lots of studies showing that cannabis has medical benefits? What if there was a study going on right now in Sarnia looking at Cannabis and Dementia in Long Term Care (LTC) homes? Dr. Blake Pearson and his partners in Lambton County are the epitome of “Think Global, Act Local”. They are tackling the pervasive problem of dementia in all LTC homes by seeing if cannabis can improve it in their local LTC system. Their study also measures if cannabis use in Dementia patients can help reduce Care Giver Burnout. This exciting research on the shores of Lake Huron is adding to the growing mountain of cannabis as medicine. We also take a left turn into “Green Washing”, but it is not what you think.

Transnational Advocacy in the Digital Era (Oxford UP, 2022) explores the role of digital advocacy organizations, a major new addition to the international arena. Organizations such as MoveOn, GetUp, and Campact derive power and influence from their ability to rapidly mobilize members on-line and off-line and are shaping public opinion on many issues including climate change, trade, and refugees. Research in international relations (IR) has highlighted the influence of non-governmental organizations, which wield power through their expertise and long-term, moral commitment to an issue. However, no IR scholars have explored the spread and power of digital advocacy organizations. Nina Hall provides a detailed investigation of how these organizations have harnessed digitally networked power and can quickly respond to the most salient issues of the day, and mobilize large memberships, to put pressure on politicians. She finds that these organizations operate in a globalized world but tackle transnational problems by focusing on national targets. This new generation of activists have formed a strong transnational network, but still see the state as the locus of power. Nina Hall is an Assistant Professor of International Relations at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, Europe. Her research explores the role of transnational advocacy and international organizations in international relations. Her first book explored how international organizations have adapted to climate change: Displacement, Development and Climate Change: International Organizations Moving Beyond their Mandates? (Routledge, 2016). Nina holds a DPhil (PhD) in International Relations from the University of Oxford and a master's degree from the University of Auckland, New Zealand. She previously worked as a Lecturer at the Hertie School of Governance. Lamis Abdelaaty is an associate professor of political science at the Maxwell School of Syracuse University.

Fifty years ago, a group of "Think Global; Act Local" do-gooders stole my birthday! Next week's guest has a lot to say about why those thieves have failed in their mission to save the planet.
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have become a focal point for many schools. But few are taking real ACTION on a local level to make these goals become a reality. What would happen if we shifted the focus away from seemingly out of reach global goals, to more tangible local goals? 'Think global, act local,' is the motto Paul Karpawich as adopted to achieve this aim through REAL project-based experiences on the ground level. Paul has narrowed his sights on projects that help schools in his area tackle the global food waste problem (SDG #12). Through cafeteria composting, waste management programs, and advocacy, Paul is empowering learners and educators to make a real difference in their communities, one project at a time. Learn more about Paul's story and how you as an edu-transformer can: Organize mandated curriculum around the Sustainable Development Goals Co-develop project-based experiences that help students address them on a local level Empower your learners to become real environmental scientists, engineers, and community organizers Incoporate multiple stakeholders Create more sustainable schools and communities Article on 6th Grade Food Waste Project: https://concordmonitor-nh-app.newsmemory.com/?publink=06815ae25_134aa62 Compost and Food Waste Diversion in Amherst Presentation: https://tinyurl.com/fcrnxvdx Connect with Paul: Linkedin, Instagram (@paulkarp). Email: pkarp7691@gmail.com. Register for the 'Tackling SDGs through local, student-driven projects' 21CLHK Workshop: https://www.21clconf.org/presentations/pre-conference-tackling-global-sustainable-development-goals-through-local-student-driven-community-projects/ Paul's Bio: Paul Karpawich spent 25 years in high tech working for startups and established tech companies. He most recently transitioned to learning about how to lead communities through change to sustainable outcomes. In taking a think global, act local mindset in his own community in Southern New Hampshire, Paul has been drivng food waste initiatives around PBL's in the schools. Through a grant from WWF and his partnership with the Hollis NH school system and Helsingborg Sweden, he has implemented food waste diversion projects that are leveraing a "manage what you measure" approach to getting food waste numbers down. The project has been focused on getting K-6 students to recogize food waste and to understand how it can converted to energy through an anerobic digester. The Hollis and Helsingborg 6th graders have done multiple joint global classrooms to learn not only about how food waste is used to power transporation in Helsingborg Sweden, but they also learned about where their food comes from around the globe. Taking it a step further, the town of Hollis and surronding towns are getting into the act by setting up food waste collection services at transfer stations to divert waste from the landfills. Paul's future goal is to build upon this foundation to allow towns and schools to take on pathways to transition to more sustianble outcomes including waste diversion across the state.

“Digital advocacy organizations are recognized as influential actors by the media, politicians, and some academics. In 2016, GetUp, an Australian digital advocacy organization, was named by the Australian Financial Review as one of the top ten actors with ‘covert power' in Australia.1 Campact in Germany has powerfully mobilized public opinion against the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. MoveOn was one of the ‘leading advocacy organizations' mobilizing people against the Iraq War in the United States. Meanwhile, Leadnow, a digital advocacy organization in Canada, helped to unseat Prime Minister Stephen Harper in the 2015 Canadian federal election. This new model of advocacy organization has spread around the world. Nineteen digital advocacy organizations claim to have a total of over 20 million members. What drove the global spread of digital advocacy organizations?”- Nina HallTransnational Advocacy in the Digital Era: Think Global, Act LocalNina Hall is an Assistant Professor in International Relations at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (Europe).

"Akcja Demokracja asked its members to take ‘high-bar' actions, such as holding strikes in support of women's rights in Poland in 2017.

“So one of the main arguments in the book is that digital technology is important to how organizations campaign, and it's not a matter of campaigning online or offline, right? Often people hear the title of my book and they go, ‘Oh, it's all just slacktivism.' You know, whatever you do online is slacktivism. Luckily the academic debates move past that because most advocacy groups operate both online and offline. What I argue instead is that digital technology has enabled groups to be rapid response, like you said, extremely member-driven so they can listen to their members and do something called analytic activism (that's a term coined by David Karpf) and be multi-issue generalists. The ways that works is much more than meets the eye. So when you're rapid response, that means a news story can come on one hour and two hours later a campaign can be started by the organizations. So it could be related to refugee issues. In 2015, when there was increasing concern about what was happening on Europe's borders with refugees and asylum seekers, some of these groups that had no expertise in refugee rights switched very rapidly when they saw public opinion changing."Nina Hall is an Assistant Professor in International Relations at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (Europe).

Helen Southgate, Chief Global Officer for Acceleration Partners clearly knows how to build a global team and increase sales for expanding companies. Acceleration Partners builds affinity links and partnerships in over 30 countries as of today, and they continue to expand into new markets. Clients benefit from their expertise on the ground and on the web to drive buyers to purchase. Helen has responsibilities in three key areas: 1. Global Marketing Consistency – Although they operate in 34 countries, when a client wants to expand into a new market, her team does an analysis to measure the potential for their products or services. They start by looking at pricing, doing a SWOT, looking for any gaps and what is currently working in the market. Then they do a “gut check” to see if it makes sense while looking for partners, and agencies to launch. This is important to keep a consistent global brand and to understand what might need to be culturally adapted for local markets. She believes in Think Global, Act Local! 2. Opening New Markets for Acceleration Partners – The company expanded from 50-350 employees in the last five years and about 90 of those new employees are based in the target countries to be able to launch new products. As the company looks to expand or clients request new markets, Helen does the research on what countries make sense. She looks across these variables: Opportunity Viability Risks Costs Time If the opportunity doesn't outweigh the risks, costs, and time, it may not be a good target market. Helen gives a helpful link to a downloadable document that lists the countries that are hardest to easiest to open for business (see Global Business Complexity Index link below). She shared that the US and the UK are two easy markets, while Germany takes about a year to open. 3. Inclusive Employer – Managing employees in different countries becomes more difficult if the culture is not inclusive. When employees do not feel part of an organization, they leave. Helen's job is to make sure that the corporate culture extends around the world, employees feel connected, and they follow the laws. She does this by talking to employees and relying on experts for information. Slack serves as a valuable communications tool for employees to have “water cooler” conversations no matter their location. They have channels for people's pets and animals, and even one on dinosaurs. They use TMF Group as their Employer of Record in countries where they only have a couple of employees. TMF serves as the company of record for laws, benefits, payroll, and HR services. She says this is a great way to test a market before hiring a big team. As for language – English is the primary language spoken in the company but as they've gotten bigger, she sees more desire by employees to have employee resource groups to speak their native language. And for the partner programs, there are global managers for consistency in partner programs and then local teams do a “sense check” - do the local marketing materials make sense. We talked about funny US – UK English misunderstandings. My favorite was when her new US boss told her that he would be “out of pocket” next week. In the US, it means unavailable, while in the UK, it means that you'll be out of money. She was a bit perplexed as to why he'd tell her that. She has also made her communication mark – one time she told the senior leadership team that she was slightly concerned about an issue. They brushed it off because it was a slight concern. In the UK, a slight concern is something to pay attention to. They now know that any slight concern is to be reckoned with. Helen's advice to companies expanding - Do your research to balance the cost, time, risk and the return on the opportunity. Develop relationships on the ground in the country.

What is the evidence? Where are the studies? There is no proof that cannabis can treat anything! Well…What if I told you there are lots of studies showing that cannabis has medical benefits? What if there was a study going on right now in Sarnia looking at Cannabis and Dementia in Long Term Care (LTC) homes? Dr. Blake Pearson and his partners in Lambton County are the epitome of “Think Global, Act Local”. They are tackling the pervasive problem of dementia in all LTC homes by seeing if cannabis can improve it in their local LTC system. Their study also measures if cannabis use in Dementia patients can help reduce Care Giver Burnout. This exciting research on the shores of Lake Huron is adding to the growing mountain of cannabis as medicine. We also take a left turn into “Green Washing”, but it is not what you think.

According to John Rae, it was 1975 when he jumped, feet first, into the world of legislative advocacy, community organizing, and activism in the blindness community, first with something called Blind Organizing Ontario with Self-Help Tactics (BOOST) which evolved into the Alliance for the Equality of Blind Canadians (AEBC). Rae has lived all his life as a Torontonian, fighting human rights cases, and working as a civil servant, taking early retirement where he's been able to focus on lending his knowledge, expertise, and lived experience as a blind man to various causes. Today on Outlook, we talk to John about the importance for blind people to travel and experience the smells and sounds of other places, his educational journey from Toronto to Windsor, and how vital it is to have mentors who can show us the possibilities available to us as blind people as there were multiple career options Rae didn't feel were accessible to him years ago. He shares his thoughts on the variety of educational settings he went through, such as his time in both integrated settings and what were known as sight saving classes and at what was then known as the Ontario School for the Blind in Brantford in the 60's. We discuss the disconnect between the medical profession and its blind patients, the hesitancy to deal with politicians and how being seen in settings of all kinds is how we'll finally be taken into account, and John's issues with the dangers of eBikes. There's elections coming up in Ontario in 2022 and our issues need to be addressed, but how do we keep up the energy for advocacy? We look to the years of life experience John Rae has accumulated, the importance of finding balance and planning for the bigger picture. The recent trucker convoys, taking over streets, this has had a clogging up impact on people with disabilities and with blindness specifically. As the pandemic begins to ease, all around us, John Rae is thinking about how we can “build back better” for everyone going forward here in Ontario, and in Canada and beyond.

We're joined by climate justice activist and former mayor Heidi Harmon. Heidi served as mayor of San Luis Obispo before becoming the Senior Public Affairs Director for the Romero Institute's Let's Green CA Initiative. In this role, she works to get fossil fuel money out of California politics and pressures governor Newsom to declare a state of emergency regarding the climate. Throughout her life, Heidi has been driven by a desire to be the best mother she could possibly be. She describes her climate justice work as an extension of this commitment to her children. Understanding the threat that climate change poses for future generations, Heidi has thrown herself into environmental activism and local politics. Heidi encourages listeners to fight cynicism about national politics by getting involved at the local level. She reminds us that you don't need a specific skill set to be able to participate in politics or activism. She shares her powerful story of moving “from mom to maid to mayor” in the hopes that others might be empowered to fight cynicism through action. Follow Heidi on Instagram (@heidiismighty) and check out the Let's Green CA website. If you want to support the electrification of California, reach out to your legislators.

Humankind has never been more connected, yet fractured. In Part 1 of our talk with with Helena Norberg-Hodge, bestselling author, filmmaker, activist and founder of the organization Local Futures, we discuss the destabilizing phenomenon of globalization which destroys culture and community and the subsequent reduction of biodiversity to monocultures for the profits of transnational corporations. We explore the solution: localization, as Helena describes it "an economy of happiness", which is a key transition step in the broader movement toward a sustainable and ideally, moneyless society. *Music: Crane Song - Tenzin Choegyal Loner- Bioluminescent *****The Moneyless Society Podcast is a listener-supported project.
