As fascist threats escalate globally, activist and playwright Sarah Schulman argues that achieving real change requires embracing imperfection and rejecting "supremacy concepts" – listen as she explains what this means for social justice movements today.Description: What is “solidarity” and what does it require? Giving up on perfection, for one thing, says Sarah Schulman, author of “Conflict is Not Abuse,” and so much more. Award-winning writer, teacher, playwright and activist, Schulman's latest book is “The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity”, in which she reflects on years of experiments and learning, from the 1980s to today. In this episode, find out what role GRITtv, an earlier iteration of Flanders' show, played in the movement for Palestinian liberation, and hear a discussion of the Harlem artist Alice Neel. Schulman sits on the advisory board of Jewish Voice for Peace. Her non-fiction books include “Conflict is Not Abuse: Overstating Harm, Community Responsibility, and the Duty of Repair” and “Let the Record Show: A Political History of ACT UP New York, 1987-1993”. Also in this episode, a commentary from Laura on the assassination of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman, a strategic progressive who practiced solidarity.“When I confronted the Israeli occupation of Palestine, something resonated for me emotionally between that and the AIDS experience. What I felt was similar was that people who were endangered were being falsely depicted as dangerous.” - Sarah Schulman“Right now we're in the middle of a cataclysm of fascism and there's no quick fix. And we have to understand that the idea that you can go in and just fix it is a supremacy concept.” - Sarah SchulmanGuests:  Sarah Schulman, Writer & AIDS Historian; Author, The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity This show is made possible by you!

In this episode of the Shine Brighter Together podcast, Monique Melton dives into a conversation many folks are unsure how to start—talking with children about money, overconsumption, and the values we want them to hold. Whether you're a parent, caregiver, educator, or someone with kids in your life, Monique invites you to consider how your own early experiences with money might still shape your habits today—and how that impacts the children watching and learning from you. From doing a personal inventory to noticing how kids respond to money conversations, Monique offers approachable ways to talk about needs vs. wants, build healthier attitudes about consumerism, and teach values like contentment, resource-sharing, and thoughtful spending. She also explores the importance of raising children with values that don't rely on constant buying, especially in a world designed to promote consumption at every turn. Tune in to learn how to make space for these meaningful conversations in everyday moments, and hear why being different from the status quo isn't a bad thing—it's often where real growth begins.

They have that on their side, where the Russian military is struggling.” - Liev Schreiber“This was never about Ukraine for me.

In an increasingly noisy world, how can ag speak with a unified, consistent voice?The changing dynamics of agricultural advocacy in Australia has caught our attention, and we're keen to explore whether industry representation is still 'fit for purpose' in a rapidly shifting political and social landscape. With around 270 farm advocacy bodies in Australia with a combined annual spend of $400-600 million, there's no shortage of voices sticking up for ag.  But how effective are they in delivering genuine policy solutions to Government?To open up this conversation, Oli is joined by Katie McRobert, Executive Director at the Australian Farm Institute, and Tyson Cattle, a rural journalist-turned-Nuffield Scholar, currently exploring how ag advocacy is done around the world and what Australia could be doing better.TakeawaysAdvocacy in agriculture is fragmented and there's a disconnect between what's being said and what's being heardEffective advocacy requires a clear purpose, two-way conversations and cultivating long-term relationships to drive policy changeFinding common ground with decision-makers is essential for achieving policy outcomesRespect and credibility is often overlooked in advocacy structuresFarmers are good as telling stories, but ag needs to get better at sharing storiesCurrent advocacy structures in Australia are often conservative and 'locked in' to a traditional structure, but new approaches such as social media influencers are having an impact Leadership in advocacy often requires taking unpopular stancesLinksLearn more about Tyson's Nuffield topic, and LinkedInKatie McRobert LinkedInYou can hear more episodes of Humans of Agriculture here.If you enjoyed this episode, share with a friend and let us know your thoughts at hello@humansofagriculture.com.  Don't forget to rate, subscribe, and leave a review!

How much of America would we need to mobilize to stop Trump's power grab? According to political scientist Erica Chenoweth, it takes 3.5 percent—the threshold after which every protest movement, across the world, has been successful. Against the backdrop of the anti-ICE and No Kings protests, the national guard deployment, and Donald Trump's birthday pageant, Chenoweth joins the show to break down the math of the 3.5 percent rule, explain why nonviolence is the key to meeting it, and to share the lessons the civil rights movement can teach us about staying unified, organized, and disciplined in the fight against authoritarianism.

Link to video version of this interview: https://youtu.be/IRTvj1_4_14In this interview, Naftuli Moster reflects on his years as the face of a controversial campaign to reform secular education in Hasidic boys' yeshivas. As the founder of YAFFED (Young Advocates for Fair Education), Moster positioned himself as a critic of the yeshiva system in which he was raised, arguing that Hasidic schools fail to meet basic educational standards required by state law.Over the years, he became a polarizing figure — praised by some for challenging religious insularity, and criticized by others as antagonistic to the community he came from. To many within the Hasidic world, he came to represent an external pressure campaign that misunderstood or misrepresented their values and way of life. In 2022, Moster resigned from YAFFED, and in this candid conversation, he speaks openly about why he chose to step away. Was it burnout, a shift in priorities, or something deeper about the limits of advocacy? We explore his personal journey, how he views his impact now, and what he's turned to since leaving the public spotlight.

The conversation emphasizes passing on Christian values to the next generation, confronting hypocrisy in human rights advocacy, and encouraging Christian Zionists who may feel isolated.- https://www.facebook.com/dsecomb- https://www.facebook.com/israelislamandendtimes- https://www.youtube.com/@newhopechurchcavesbeach1672- https://www.youtube.com/@IsraelislamandendtimesYouTube Version: www.youtube.com/RadicalLifestyle- Radical Lifestyle Instagram Click Here- X: Click Here- TikTok: Click Here- Telegram channel and discussion: Click HereYou can also follow Andrew and Daphne on their social media platforms:Andrew Kirk: Facebook | InstagramDaphne Kirk: Facebook | InstagramTo support the channel: Click Here- UK only Donations here: Click Here

“This was never about Ukraine for me. This was always about American values and democracy and what it is, where it comes from and what it means. I don't think those values and those principles are on display anywhere more clearly than in Ukraine.” - Liev SchreiberDescription: Renowned actor, writer and director Liev Schreiber recently released “Meeting Zelenskyy”, a feature documentary in which he sits down with Ukraine's embattled leader. In an extended conversation, Schreiber speaks actor-to-actor about Volodymyr Zelenskyy's rise from entertainer to war time leader. In this exclusive interview with Laura Flanders, Schreiber discusses how the documentary came to be, how he personally became involved, and how technology could shape the outcome of the Russia-Ukraine war. The film includes never-before-seen footage from Zelenskyy's childhood and career. Join us for this historic conversation, plus a commentary from Laura.“I've always felt optimistic about this because [Ukraine is] on the side of truth. That's the kind of thing you can cover briefly, but it always comes out, it always surfaces. It's also the kind of thing that builds morale. It builds courage. It builds principle. They have that on their side, where the Russian military is struggling.” - Liev SchreiberGuest:  Liev Schreiber: Award-Winning Actor, Director & Writer; Co-Founder, BlueCheck Ukraine This show is made possible by you!

Topics covered : Activism, social justice, betrayal, family estrangement, patriarchy, responsibility, grief, regrets, forgiveness, love, business. In this episode, I sit down with mother and daughter — Rosita and Chupi Sweetman.Rosita is a trailblazing activist and one of the founding members of the Women's Liberation Movement of the 1970's, a time when speaking out for women's rights — including the right to contraception — was radical and urgently needed.Her daughter Chupi is a hugely successful entrepreneur who runs her own luxury jewellery brand and is someone who passionately believes that business can be a powerful force for good.She's married to Brian and they have a daughter together. Aya is almost 5 and the light of their lives.Chupi was homeschooled as a child, raised in a loving and creative environment — one shaped by her mother's values, courage, and conviction.But behind the strength and warmth of their story lies a great deal of pain — and it's captured in Rosita's powerful new memoir, Girl with a Fork in a World of Soup.While much of the book focuses on the turbulent years of her marriage, the emotional heart of the story begins in childhood — when Rosita, at just nine years old, was sent off to boarding school, and shortly after, her younger sister died from a heart condition, just shy of her seventh birthday.That devastating loss shattered her family, and without support or counselling, grief pulled them apart in ways that would echo through the decades.The memoir also delves into Rosita's deeply dysfunctional relationship with her ex-husband — Chupi's father — who ultimately had an affair with one of Rosita's sisters and was involved with other members of her family too. The betrayal was devastating and led to family estrangement, but in writing the book she is telling the truth of her experience with integrity and heart.It takes real courage to speak so honestly, and I'm so grateful for the depth and heart they brought to this conversation.Buy Rosita's book hereWomen's Aid - Listening.

Celebrity activists, while usually well intentioned, rarely have a systemic understanding of the causes they tout - and thus leave a lot of damage in their wake. Paris Hilton is no exception. Over the past couple of years, she has used her celebrity to shut down teen rehab facilities - and the consequences are dark. Christina Buttons, an investigative reporter for the Manhattan Institute and a former troubled teen herself, spent time in the same facilities as Hilton and is exposing the holes in her work.
