Yes, it's true! At 13 Jonathan worked as a camera operator at a television station on Nantucket for its 5:30pm newscast and then was promoted 2 years later to news director. After college he worked as a cameraman for film and tv. His film credits include Spike Lee's “Do the Right Thing” and “Mo' Better Blues,” “Mountain View” for John Sayles, “A Better Tomorrow” for John Woo, and “Dazed and Confused” for Richard Linklater. He later produced independent films, television, and theater, including the award-winning "Baby Steps", “Higher Ground,” “Peace, Love, & Misunderstanding,” “The Last Keepers” “Rhymes with Banana” and most recently “Antarctica”. His TV projects include “Almost There”, "Ivy Dreams," “Must Do Disney”, The Super Bowl Half Time Show, “Away We Go” by Jonathan Larson, and the “Tomorrow is Tonight Show” starring Ben Stiller. Jonathan's also produced commercials for Time Warner, Ford, Disney, Chase and American Express. In theater, he produced the Tony nominated Broadway production of Mario Cantone's “Laugh Whore,” the award-winning play “Avow”, and the 10th anniversary original-cast production of RENT. He is also co-founder of the Nantucket Film Festival, and is event producer for Project ALS, the organization launched by his friend Jenifer Estess, who died from the disease in 2003. I've known JB a couple of decades now, so it was a lot of fun to sit down with him as part of our Live-Audience Series and learn more about his life, career, and his very poignant memories of his dear friend Jonathan Larson, the famed Broadway composer, lyricist and playwright (RENT).

I hesitate to add yet another voice to the cacophony of cries of agony, suffering, outrage and acrimony emanating out of Israel, Gaza, and surrounding Arab states, exacerbated by the 24/7 chattering class. Not to mention the ongoing carnage in Ukraine, which seems to have slipped under the global radar. But I fear that if we in Zen do not try to address these terrible global realities in the context of Buddhism, it may be taken as an indication, or an admission on our part, that Zen, along with its teachings and practice, have finally faded into irrelevance, in the face of such intractable 21st century problems. But as Katagiri Roshi reminds us, “You have to say something.” And Matsuoka Roshi did not shy from taking on the atrocities of his day. Check out his collected talks. Actually, just the opposite is true. It is not that the Zen Way is a panacea, or that it offers a silver bullet that will somehow “fix” a situation that has been several millennia in the making. But Buddhism points to the fundamental origin of the problem, traditionally defined as “craving” or “thirst.” The difficulty is that we have to individually “abandon” that craving, in order to enable the cessation of suffering, not only for ourselves but for others. But the individuals directly affected by the war seem to have no power over, or protection from, the influence and actions of the masses. So it would seem that our challenge may be to define the actual source of the conflict in the Middle East as originating in some form of craving, one that has been in force since long before the founding of Israel, just after the end of WWII. We must concede that the abandonment of that craving may or may not be possible, given the volatility of the situation, and the likelihood that cooler heads will not prevail for some time. According to my limited understanding of Buddhism, craving begins before birth, innate in the very desire to exist. This idea amounts to a pre-Enlightenment or proto-scientific hypothesis, an attempt to explain Nature's overwhelming fecundity, the irresistible will to life, manifested as the innumerable cascade of seeds, sperm, spores, and other forms of burgeoning life, populating the natural sphere in all corners of the planet. In sentient beings such as humans, this craving is clearly inchoate, beginning before or at conception and continuing in the womb, arising out of basic ignorance of the causes and conditions of our own origins. Whatever level of awareness can be attributed to the developing embryo, it is of a relatively primitive nature, compared to its later stages of maturation. Buddha made a noble attempt to model the process of growth of sentient beings, arising from primordial ignorance under the influence of mental formations, slowly differentiating the senses, and finally segueing through birth, aging, and death; then beginning another round through rebirth, in the teaching known as the “Twelvefold Chain of Interdependent Co-Arising” (Skt: pratityasamutpada). Find the link to the illustration in the show notes for this segment. Note that “mental formations” (#2) comprises the second link in the chain, arising in the womb out of the first link, the primordial sea of ignorance (#1) from which the universe arises. These formations are the motives, intentions and desires that underly all other dimensions of life, and which underpin our natural consciousness (#3) as a sentient being. The growth of the fetus continues, following its DNA blueprint — as we now know from modern genetics — resulting in a particular form (#4) of the organism; which leads to development of the six senses (#5), and contact (#6) with the outer world; which, in the context of the mother's womb, would arise from subtle sensation (#7) and perhaps a level of subliminal perception (#8), such as hunger experienced as craving (#9); which then develops into clinging (#10); leading to “becoming” (#11) — in the most general sense of the word — in modern terms, ontogeny; and finally to birth (#12), which ultimately reverts to aging and death (#13). Then, according to this theory, the cycle begins all over again. Tradition has it that it takes three full cycles through the chain to complete the process. So what does all this have to do with war, let alone the karmic consequences we might associate with war? Modern biology might find this model overly simplified, but I propose that we apply it to the arising of social awareness in the individual. We may find some linkage as to how a chain of conflicts arising between individuals can spread within a community, and between ethnic groups, eventually fueling international strife. One of the guest speakers at a conference we held in collaboration with the Department of Religion of Emory University in 2000, structured around the scholar-practitioner divide and focused on the teachings of Master Dogen, was asked, during the Q&A following his address, whether Christians, Buddhists, and Muslims, could truly engage in a dialog. His answer was “No.” As long as they are Christians, Buddhists, and Muslims, no dialog is possible. At the risk of repeating myself, allow me to take this moment to point out the obvious: Buddha was not a Buddhist, any more than Christ was a Christian. These concepts came into the vernacular following their life and death on Earth. They have now become additional labels for identifying and differentiating the constructed self. During his recent peacemaking trip to Israel, president Joe Biden was quoted as saying something like: “Whether you are Muslim, Jewish, or Christian, if you give up who you are, the terrorists have won.” But Buddhism suggests that we should do precisely that. We are to thoroughly examine the reality of this “who you are” — the imputed or constructed “self” — with a judicious skepticism, particularly in meditation. When we do so, we are told, we will see through the outer appearance of the self, penetrating to the emptiness at its core. This “emptiness” is an inadequate translation of the Sanskrit shunyatta, which points to the dynamic, ever-changing reality underlying all phenomena, and not a vacuous, woeful, or frightening void of nothingness, as it is sometimes interpreted. Perhaps we can draw an analogous parallel between the progress of a single person through these stages of life, as articulated by Buddha, to that of the tribe, or community, a group of individuals united by a common gene pool and shared biological and geographical roots, as well as agreed-upon social mores and norms. When two such groups clash, the knee-jerk reaction is to point fingers and blame the other side for starting the current conflict. The response is always to reflect the blame back on the accuser, in a seemingly endless regress into the fog of history. Observers seem compelled to weigh in on one side or the other. If we look at the suffering in an individual's life, we might entertain the same question: Whose fault is this? Who started this? Whose idea was this? Theistic philosophies have a ready answer — that this life, with all its imperfections, is a reflection of God's will — moving in mysterious ways that we cannot hope to comprehend. Applying this same nostrum to international strife seems largely an evasive maneuver, an avoidance of the responsibility of actually resolving the dispute in human terms. In Zen, we embrace the idea that, if anyone is to blame for our individual life, it is us. The repentance verse expresses this notion concisely: All my past and harmful karmaFrom beginningless greed, hate and delusionBorn of body, mouth, and mind,I now fully avow. “Avow” is a rather archaic term, meaning to assert or confess openly. In other words, we are owning it — assuming responsibility for the unintended consequences of our own behavior — we are not blaming others. We might want to blame our parents, and their parents, another endless regress, as the proximate cause of our own existence. Good luck with that. Even if they are at fault, we cannot hold them accountable, at least not for long. After their demise, we are left to face the same reality, without the scapegoat. Similarly, in international conflicts, which often amount to tribal warfare on steroids, it might be helpful for all sides to own up to their own culpability in what has come to pass, as president Biden did in recalling the overwrought reaction to the 911 crisis. This would amount to a simple recognition and acceptance of one of the seminal marks of dukkha: “imperfection.” Admitting that “mistakes were made” — before the situation accelerates to an irresolvable level of mutually-inflicted violence. One of the black marks on US exceptionalism — that of Hiroshima & Nagasaki — has become the mother of all mistakes that have ever been made on the global stage. The country that first dropped the Big Bomb on civilians is hardly in a position to lecture others on the morality of human decency in following the “laws of war,” the mother of all oxymorons. War is precisely the end of law, in any human sense of the term. Where people — or, for that matter, any sentient beings of the same species — are separated, they tend to evolve in different directions. This principle of Darwin's “Origin of Species” theory can explain a lot, such as the development of varying cuisines, dialects and languages, as well as the susceptibility of isolated populations to propaganda. What if the appropriate authority, such as the United Nations, undertook a program of social exchange in all such closed-border situations as that of Israel and the Gaza strip? What that might look like would be providing safe passage from each side of the border to the other for limited groups of families or age groups, who would spend a limited amount of time in the company or homes of their counterparts in the “other” culture, the designated enemy. This is an old idea whose time may have come around again. If people get to know each other on a personal, more intimate basis, and “break bread” together, they are a lot less likely to turn on each other for no reason, and to find common ground. Wasting the opportunity of a lifetime in the service of a questionable, survival-oriented self finds its analog in following political leaders who are similarly self-striving, finding at the end-of-the-day, or at the end of your life, that not only are they, your titular leaders, unappreciative of your loyalty, but that they even regard you with contempt, as part of the problem, or at best a pawn in their geopolitical chess game. In the personal sphere of meditation, you may fight your own war, and hopefully find your individual salvation. Then, and only then, you may be able to share it with others in, and outside of, your social sphere. Good luck with that.

Kim and Josh Coffin recount their experiences with the world of visions and apocalyptic beliefs in Mormonism, discussing the influence of figures like Chad Daybell and the controversial AVOW community. They shed light on their personal encounters with end-time preparations, the impact on family dynamics, and the implications of their father's involvement with Chad Daybell. The interview touches on the church's handling of such groups and the lack of clear condemnation, raising questions about accountability and the need for more decisive action. The Coffins' candid exploration of their family dynamics within the context of these extreme beliefs serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked apocalyptic communities within the Mormon faith.

Caroline Duble and Nneka Iheanacho of Avow, an unapologetic abortion advocacy organization, speak to us about the state of abortion care. In Texas, abortion is completely banned with the exception of a life or death scenario with the pregnant person and there is no rape or incest exception. To be clear, providers are criminalized, and the charge could be a first-degree felony. Beyond these concerns, there are also the less obvious effects of increased surveillance and the general fear created by the current laws. A reminder: an abortion is a procedure you can have when you no longer want to be pregnant and there are two kinds: medication and procedural. Good bills: HB12 which extends Medicaid to one-year post pregnancy and HB300 which removed sales tax on menstrual care items and adult diapers. Nneka gives a great rundown of the empowered work happening on the local level to support vulnerable communities. Bad bills: Came in the form of budget items. For instance, an increase was given to crisis pregnancy centers that are fake clinics and this funding now stands at $140 million of our state budget. SB24 codifies alternatives to abortion, and it's now called Texas Thriving Families. HB17 reduces the local control of district attorneys. HB1575 establishes a screening process for collecting data from pregnant people. Finally, all the anti-LGBTQ legislation was bad and more can be heard in an earlier episode from Ricardo Martinez of Equality Texas. If you're wondering how to help, plug into local groups.

La decisión de la Corte Suprema de no garantizar más el derecho de las mujeres al aborto que regía desde 1973 y dejar la legislación en manos de los estados ha creado un sismo político y social en Estados Unidos. En los 100 días posteriores al histórico fallo, 13 estados prohibieron por completo. Consolidar la prohibición conservadora o tratar de revertir la tendencia a través de candidatos demócratas es uno de los grandes pulsos que se dan en estas elecciones de medio mandato. Desde San Antonio Texas, el informe de nuestro enviado especial Alejo Schapire. Una reciente encuesta revelaba que seis de cada diez votantes se mostraban a favor de que el aborto esté "disponible en todos o la mayoría de los casos", mientras un 11% dice estar a favor de una prohibición total del aborto.  A las afueras de San Antonio, Texas, un pequeño grupo de militantes antiaborto reza el Ave María frente a la clínica de Planned Parenthood, de planificación familiar, protegida por una patrulla policial. El establecimiento ya no puede practicar abortos. Texas los prohibió cuando la Corte Suprema dejó, en junio, en manos de cada estado el derecho a legislar sobre la interrupción del embarazo. Sin embargo, los militantes siguen haciéndose oír. Alejandra Dipp, consejera del grupo antiaborto Sidewalk Adovcates por Life, busca que estas elecciones para elegir gobernador y congresistas movilicen a su campo… Nosotros estamos pidiendo a todas las personas que son provida, que salgan a votar para que Texas siga con el aborto ilegal. (...) Estamos agradecidos a la Suprema Corte el dejar que cada estado decida lo que se debe hacer.  Pese a la legislación vigente, las organizaciones defensoras del aborto han encontrado estrategias para que las mujeres que lo desean puedan interrumpir sus embarazos.  Yaneth Flores es la directora de políticas públicas de la organización Avow, Texas. Hay personas de Texas que estáb cruzando la frontera hacia México para buscar medicamento para que puedan realizar un aborto en su casa. Siempre estamos apoyándonos y si eso es que una persona pueda acceder al aborto pues que sea saliendo del estado, o alguna manera asegurarnos de que reciban el apoyo. Aquí el informe completo

Not unnatural,Suffering is only change.It's not personal.* * *Continuing where we left off last time, in this segment we will look at the intersection of the Natural sphere with Buddhism's Origin of suffering. The graphic illustrating correlations between the Four Spheres — Universal, Natural, Social, and Personal; and the Existence, Origin, Cessation, and Eightfold Path to cessation of suffering — is included again for your convenience and reference.In the Repentance verse of Soto Zen liturgy we chant:All my past and harmful karma Born of beginningless greed, hate and delusion Through body mouth and mind I now fully avow“Avow” does not commonly appear in our daily vernacular, but it simply means to admit openly, or to confess. Monastics apparently had a more rigorous routine for confessing and repenting specific transgressions they may have committed, violations of what were known in India as Vinaya, in Japan as Shingi, basically the rules and regulations of conduct in the monastic setting. We have Master Dogen's version, as well as Master Keizan's from a few generations later, the two being known respectively as the “father and mother” of Soto Zen in Japan. One factoid that people like to point out is that there were hundreds more rules for nuns than there were for monks. Interpret that however you like. Or do your research. Usually the Three Treasure Refuges verse follows on the heels of Repentance:I take refuge in BuddhaI take refuge in DharmaI take refute in SanghaI take refuge in Buddha the fully awakened oneI take refuge in Dharma the compassionate teachingsI take refuge in Sangha the harmonious communityI have completely taken refuge in BuddhaI have completely taken refuge in DharmaI have completely taken refuge in SanghaThe condensation of repentance into a catchall phrase represents not just our usual laziness, I think, but a recognition that we may be engaging in karmic actions without knowing it. So just in case, we fess up to whatever we may have done, and “accept all consequence with equanimity,” as another version has it. And then we take refuge in the Three Treasures, just for good measure.The line that indicates the connection between Origin and Natural is that bit about karmic consequences stemming from our very body, mouth and mind, the “Three Actions” of Buddhism. Another version has “born of body, mouth and mind,” which I think captures the meaning more precisely. That is, most of our desires, attachments and aversions, some of which get us into trouble, come with the territory of being born as a human being. As such, they are not exactly our fault. But what we do about it is our fault, or may be to our credit. There is the implication that we can “pay off” our accumulated karma, like a bad debt. The good news is that if we recognize that we did not create, or design, this situation in which we find ourselves, we can perhaps redesign our approach to it, embracing its seeming contradictions. Its “Designer” may not be so “Intelligent” as some would have us believe.When you take an unbiased look at the Natural conditions of our birth and growth as part of a species, certain obvious limitations and undesirable aspects emerge. Does it really have to be so messy? Buddha identified these causes and conditions of circumstance, the matrix of existence, variously, such as: the reification of self emerging through the process of individuation as a child; the conventional wisdom of the social milieu into which we are born; and the predations of aging, sickness and death to which we are all subject. The necessity for survival of the species is not a personal goal, but one of the species itself, as Schopenhauer points out in “The World as Will,” his treatise on how we usually get it all wrong. That we are fulfilling our heart's desire in pursuing the loves of our life is a kind of category error, based on a primordial ignorance of how this existence thing really works. Very Zen.That the Origin of our suffering may thus be regarded as Natural should precipitate a sigh of relief. But these biological facts do not relieve us of the necessity of now dealing with the actual experience of our desires, and the onset of angst, regret, hope, and disappointed expectations, that ensue. The rollercoaster of Social life inserts itself into the mix with little regard to our opinion. Once we have experienced all the highs and lows, however, they average out when we slow to a stop, and step off of the train.One of the unfortunate dimensions of life in modern society, vis-à-vis these known issues of Buddhism, is that they are not widely recognized as such, nor are they ordinarily part of the early curriculum in Western countries. We do not expose our youngsters to practicing meditation. Usually a young person begins hearing about Eastern wisdom when they are in their late teens or early twenties, when the onslaught of hormones has long since had its sometimes deleterious, and even disastrous, effects. Especially with the advent of widespread online accessibility to what we call “pornography.” As one of the Supremes famously intoned, I don't know how to define it, but I recognize it when I see it.It is ironic that the most natural of functions in the Natural sphere — that of reproduction of the species — becomes so distorted in its intersection with the Social realm of human behavior. But that discussion may be better left to the next segment, on the conflation of the Noble Eightfold Path with the Social sphere. For now let us just shake our heads at the willful blindness built into our concept of childhood, and our feckless efforts to control the process of maturation into an adult. It is a compelling example of the Social sphere interfering with the Natural sphere — the biological facts of existence — thereby exacerbating the Origin of suffering, our ignorance-fueled craving. What's the matter with kids today?One could argue that the Origin of our suffering is Universal, as is its existence. The role of Nature in the Universal scheme of things is intricately intertwined with the origin of life on this planet, and the possibility of life on others, in the “Goldilocks Zone” near — in astronomical units — to another star. Speculations as to the arrival of intergalactic spermatozoa in the form of ancient comets or meteors, delivering the foundational chemistry of organisms to our waiting, fertile planet, like sperm to egg, model the entire cosmos as analogous to a kind of organism, giving birth to stars, as in the famous “pillars of creation” image from NASA's Hubble telescope, to the spark of life itself. These analogies are examples of our proclivity to find familiar patterns in the strangest of new information, now flooding in as images from the far reaches of science, thanks to the Hubble, and now the Webb, telescopes. Another is the familiar trope about developing fins at one stage of the fetus in the womb:More than just a catchy phrase, “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” is the foundation of recapitulation theory. Recapitulation theory posits that the development of individual organisms (ontogeny) follows (recapitulates) the same phases of the evolution of larger ancestral groups of related organisms (phylogeny).These cultural memes also indicate the comprehensive nature of the Ignorance, capital I, into which we are born, rather than into sin, according to Buddhism. Not the kind of willful ignorance that we have to learn, which can be considered a kind of sin, I suppose, if not against God, then against our original buddha-nature. Willfully ignoring the “compassionate teachings,” for example, as the Buddha's legacy is characterized. They are compassionate in that they consist of descriptions of the suffering innate in existence, as well as our tendency to make it worse; as well as prescriptions for what to do about it, such as the Noble Eightfold Path. Which will be the subject of our next segment, in its relationship to the Social sphere.Meanwhile, wrapping up our meditation on the Natural Origin of suffering, it is, or should be, transparent that there is no Existence without change, and so “change” is interchangeable with “suffering.” Everything that we see, hear, smell, taste, feel — and yes, everything we think — is the effect of change. We are literally hearing the sound of suffering, like Avalokiteshvara. And we are seeing it as well as feeling it at all times, in every moment. If nothing were changing, we could not perceive it. We never breathe the same breath twice, and we can never have the same thought, twice, though it may seem that we do. This is natural, and this inexorable, instantaneous change, is the true source of our suffering. Get used to it.The fact that some forms of change provide welcome relief in our lives, while others seem to deliver more stress, should make it clear that dukkha is neutral. Suffering is not being inflicted upon us as a kind of punishment, though it may be considered a kind of test. Zen recommends embracing what life brings us as a natural consequence of our existence as a sentient being, even though we may not enjoy it at the time. Don't worry, it will change. This does not mean, however, that we should not do anything about it, to improve our circumstances. This and other dimensions of behavior in the Social realm will be one focus of the next segment, reviewing the Path in its eight dimensions.

It's time to put together all the pieces and show you where these horrible evil beliefs came from. In this episode, I show you where these beliefs came from. The belief in "portal travel",  "multiple mortal probations", "zombies", 'choosing the 144,000" and so much more. Lori Vallow fell for these beliefs after becoming part of the Preparing a People movement. AVOW was the forum that everyone was discussing these doomsday beliefs and what the "visionaries"  like Chad Daybell, Mike Stroud, Denver Snuffer, Julie Rowe, and more were teaching.  Chad Daybell also convinced LDS members that Rexburg Idaho was the promised land. The "Safe Zone." These people instilled fear in their followers and convinced many that the end of days was here and they better be ready,  But, in the end, there are still believers practicing this, in my opinion, nonsense.  Good people and innocent people are dead thanks to their evil ideology. They are a Hydra Cult. Take a listen.  Smells Like HumansLike spending time with funny friends talking about curious human behavior.

Say it with us - FUCKLAHOMA! Who else's jaw is still on the ground from all the BS spewed out at uteri this week? The Abortion Access Front Podcast is here to rage & bring you all the information on the latest anti-abortion BS and the invasive misogynistic species trying to get all up in your junk. From Oklahoma's total abortion ban to the treatment (or shall we say, the aggressive LACK of) of miscarriages in Alabama, the Feminist Buzzkills are spilling all the abortion related tea with the help of three special guest Roe-rriors.  This week, we've got Dr. Leah Torres, the director of patient care and programs of West Alabama Women's Center and author of this frightening article on how doctors are turning miscarriage patients away for fear of persecution. She's here to answer all our questions on the fucked up lack of treatment for Alabama patients experiencing a miscarriage. Aimee Arrambide, the executive director of Avow Texas is in the house dropping all the knowledge on the scary amount of influence city councils have over abortion access, good and bad. Plus, she fills us in on what it was like to talk about abortion access for six hours in front of Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz (it ain't fun) and how Avow is making the post-Roe world a little less scary for folks with uteri.  It's heavy, friends, but the wickedly hilarious Helen Hong came by to recharge our serotonin levels after this shitstorm of a week. Helen spent the pandemic stealing her dog's xanax, dating doomsday preppers, getting trapped into becoming her sister's baby daddy, and recording a comedy special that drops May 31st (linked below). She's getting extra real with us about her own abortion story, all the things going down in her life, and her plan for world domination!

On this episode, Jess and I talk about what it's like to build a career around abortion, and how to make boundaries between your work and your personal life. Jess lives in Texas, USA and works in abortion advocacy.  We start the conversation by talking a bit about the Texas Abortion Ban, Senate Bill 8 (SB8), and the implications that it has on abortion seekers and those supporting abortion seekers. We then move on to talk about working for others hand having to compromise your values in order to get paid, navigating conversations about abortion outside of work, rethinking movement work in a way that centres community and pleasure, and preserving your energy.  Jess Pires-Jancose (she/they) is a cancer who loves plants, queer young-adult fantasy, skincare, and having deep meaningful conversations with strangers and loved ones. In their professional life, Jess is a community organiser with Avow, a Texas-based organisation that promotes unapologetic abortion advocacy. To support people in Texas seeking abortions and donate to abortion funds:Avow Texas (instagram handle: @avowtexas) - will split all donations evenly across all abortion funds.

How did Texas past the most restrictive anti-abortion law in the country? What reason did the Supreme Court give for not intervening? How is this law different and how do we challenge it? It's enough to make your head spin! Thankfully, The Advocates talk to Texas lawyer Blake Rocap to break it ALL down for us. Blake has worked in or with the Texas Legislature since 2007. For the past seven legislative sessions, Blake has been Legislative counsel for AVOW (formerly NARAL Pro-Choice Texas) focusing his advocacy on abortion rights and reproductive healthcare. He is former board member, volunteer attorney and current legal director of Jane's Due Process a statewide non-profit that helps young people in Texas navigate parental consent laws and confidentially access abortion and birth control. He is the immediate past president of the board of Every Body Texas the Title X grantee in Texas. He is a member of the Health Law, and Legislative and Campaign Law sections of the state bar. After this episode was recorded, The House of Representatives passed the Women's Health Protection Act (WHPA). WHPA protects the right to access abortion without restrictions and unnecessary bans. If passed, it would block state's mandatory waiting periods, mandatory ultrasounds, biased and false counseling, and two-trip requirements. Read more about WHPA here and how you can get involved in advocacy for it.

The AVOW organization was founded a little over two years ago with the purpose of giving women here in Fort Wayne a voice in public life. Under the leadership of founders, Patti Hays, Rachel Tobin-Smith, Marilyn Moran-Townsend and Faith Van Gilder, AVOW is growing in numbers, gaining momentum, and finding its voice in a number of platforms. The mission of the organization is to advance the voices of women in public life, the community square and civil conversations. Appealing to women of all backgrounds, ages and political affiliations, what unifies the group's effort is a common passion to inspire and train women for public life. Adding support to that endeavor is former Mayor of Fort Wayne, Paul Helmke. The Journal Gazette is also endorsing AVOW, and encouraging its participation in weekly guest columns and opinion pieces. WBOI's Julia Meek sat down with two of its founders, Pati Hays and Rachel Tobin-Smith, to discuss the group's mission and scope, and the impact it hopes to make on the community.

This is a BIG episode! A full length double interview with two incredible female veterans. I chat with both the editor in chief and publisher of AVOW Magazine, a publication made by female veterans for female veterans. Much like this podcast. I am so pleased to be featured in the Winter 2020/2021 issue. I speak with Christina and Sheila about each of their active duty stories. I learn about the blatant and open sexual harassment Christina endured as well as how Sheila's difficult transition back to civilian life led her to joining motorcycle clubs. She also shares her experiences as one of very few young women in the American Legion. We go in depth about military programming and the need to deprogram as we transition back to military life. This one goes deep on so many topics! This is a very real, candid conversation between 3 veteran sisters. I was honored and inspired by these two Air Force veterans and the advice they share at the end you do not want to miss!!

As we last left off on The Chosen Ones, we began to take a deeper dive into the groups Lori and Chad were affiliated with. This included The Church of the Firstborn, Preparing a People, and Another Voice of Warning or better known as AVOW. While each group has an underlining theme of Mormonism, there are still many questions lingering about their beliefs, their intentions, and most importantly, their members. We've examined the major key players in the Vallow and Daybell cases and next season, we will review these specific groups. Now, in today's episode, we take a quick glimpse into these groups and we recently learned of an intriguing tip that may lead us down a path to more discovery.

This week, we are once again hearing from our friends from Advancing Voices Of Women or AVOW, for a civil conversation about eviction.

Es war ein langes und sehr angenehmes Gespräch mit Lennart Henze von Salzwasser. Wir haben Lennart für diese Folge als Gast in unseren Podcast eingeladen um über das Thema "Social Business" zu sprechen. Der Ursprung vieler Unternehmen ist die Lösung eines Problems. Dabei verfolgen Unternehmen betriebswirtschaftliche Ziele und einen Betriebszweck, der bei den meisten Fashion Unternehmen die Herstellung und der Verkauf von Kleidung ist. Das Ziel ist Gewinnmaximierung. Die Gründer von Salzwasser verfolgen mit ihrem Unternehmen andere Ziele. Sie wollen aktiv dazu beitragen soziale und gesellschaftliche Probleme zu lösen - die Mode ist Mittel zum Zweck. Die T-Shirts, Hoodies, Sweater, Mützen oder Schals sind schlicht, meist unisex. Dass die Produktion der Mode ressourcenschonend und unter fairen Arbeitsbedingungen stattfinden sollte, stand für die Gründer nicht zur Debatte. Wir sprechen darüber, wie Salzwasser Transparenz als Selbstkontrolle für ihr unternehmerisches Tun verwendet, wie sie ihre Partner entlang der Lieferkette auswählen, wie sie den Spagat zwischen ökonomischem Denken und sozialem / ökologischem Handeln schaffen und darüber, wie sie vorhaben zu wachsen, ohne sich selbst dabei zu verlieren. Wir glauben, dass jeder etwas aus dieser Folge mitnehmen kann. Über die Definition von Erfolg, über soziales Unternehmertum und darüber, warum es so wichtig ist Unternehmen wie Salzwasser zu unterstützen. ______ Wenn euch die Folge gefallen hat, schreibt uns gerne eine Bewertung oder eine Mail an podcast@avow-official.com und abonniert diesen Podcast, um immer auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben.

Until this summer, it seemed unlikely that anything would overtake the coronavirus as the top story of any given day, week, or month. Issues of racial justice and discussions about the best ways to address police brutality remain in the conversation around the world and right here in northeast Indiana. AVOW assembled a panel for a nearly two hour conversation outside at Barr Street Market. Panelists include: Michelle Chambers, Fort Wayne City Councilwoman Dottie Davis, Davis Corporate Training, Retired Director of Security, Fort Wayne Community Schools Sofia Rosales-Scatena, Public Information Officer in the Community Relations Division Brittiane Jones, Fort Wayne native, LGBTQ activist Special thanks to AVOW founders Patti Hays, Rachel Tobin-Smith, Marilyn Moran-Townsend and Faith Van Gilder for organizing this event, and special thanks to Luke Holliger for providing audio for this program.

Sarah ist die Person hinter dem Blog und Instagram Account ‚grossstadtklein’. Sie nimmt ihre Follower mit auf Reisen, in Restaurants, zum Shoppen und spricht über tiefergreifende philosophische und psychologische Themen. Sie bemerkt gerade bei sich einen Wandel im Konsumverhalten und möchte bewusster und nachhaltiger leben. Aber wie fängt man an? Und wie nimmt man seine Community mit? Alles richtig machen ist schwer. Gerade als Person, die auf Social Media direktem Feedback und Kritik ausgesetzt ist, ist es ein Drahtseilakt den richtigen Weg für sich selbst zu finden und dabei ein gutes Vorbild zu sein. Wir sprechen mit Sarah über das große Wort Nachhaltigkeit, darüber wie Social Media das Konsumverhalten mit gestaltet und beeinflusst und wie jeder die ersten Schritte in die richtige Richtung machen kann. ______ Wenn euch die Folge gefallen hat, schreibt uns gerne eine Bewertung oder eine Mail an podcast@avow-official.com und abonniert diesen Podcast, um immer auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben.

Gerade in diesen oder vergangenen Home-Office Zeiten haben wir uns wohl alle damit beschäftigt, wie wir zuhause produktiv sein können und motiviert bleiben. Und genau darum geht es in dieser Folge.  Gerade in der Gründungsphase gibt es niemanden, der die Rahmenbedingungen setzt, dir Feedback gibt und dich motiviert. Deswegen haben wir Tipps und Tricks gesammelt, wie wir motiviert bleiben, welche Routinen wir nutzen, um effizient zu arbeiten und wie wir unsere Produktivität steigern können.  Natürlich ist da jeder ganz individuell, aber vielleicht könnt ihr ja etwas aus der Folge für euch mitnehmen. ______ Wenn euch die Folge gefallen hat, schreibt uns gerne eine Bewertung oder eine Mail an podcast@avow-official.com und abonniert diesen Podcast, um immer auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben.  Alle weiteren Infos zu AVOW findet ihr hier:  https://www.avow-official.com/ https://www.instagram.com/avow__official/ https://www.facebook.com/official.avow/

In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Hannah, der Gründerin der nachhaltigen Fashion Brand Silfir, über das Thema „Circular Economy“. Ein abstraktes Konzept, dessen System unsere Wirtschaft aber langfristig nachhaltig gestalten kann? Eine Kreislaufwirtschaft, die in sich nachhaltig agiert, klingt erst einmal utopisch. Hannah baut gerade an einem Projekt, das genau in dieses System passt und es vorantreiben soll. Wie sieht es in der Praxis aus? Wie kann jeder einen Beitrag leisten und was sollten Endverbraucher und Unternehmen beachten und gegebenenfalls ändern? Ein Thema, das uns alle irgendwie betrifft oder zumindest betreffen sollte.

Nachhaltigkeit muss nicht nach Öko aussehen. Das beweist das nachhaltige Label Jan'n'June mit jeder Kollektion. In dem Gespräch mit Gründerin Juliana Holtzheimer sprechen wir über Transparenz. Das Label weist jedes Produkt mit einer Eco-ID aus, die dem Kunden den Herstellungsort, die Materialien und vieles mehr aufschlüsselt. Juliana erzählt warum ihnen Transparenz von Beginn an wichtig war, wie sie es schaffen High Fashion nachhaltig zu produzieren und zu erschwinglichen Preisen zu verkaufen. Als wäre das nicht genug, haben Juliana und ihre Mitgründerin Anna 2018 auch noch ein gemeinsames Buch veröffentlicht. In unserem Gespräch erzählt Juliana über das Buch "Minimal Fashion", in dem die beiden erklären, wie man sich eine "Capsule Wardrobe" anlegt. Es ist nicht teurer, oder schwerer, es gehört nur ein wenig Selbstdisziplin dazu. Einige hilfreiche Tipps aus dem Buch, wie ihr euren Kleiderschrank nachhaltiger gestalten könnt, teasert Juliana bei uns.

Die Coronakrise hält die Welt in Atem und hat viele, teils unvorhersehbare, Folgen. Vivica Pietz ist die Gründerin von ACHIY, einem Fair Fashion Label, das Alpaca Pullover mit traditioneller Strickkunst in Peru produziert. Erst Ende letztes Jahres hat sie den Sprung in die Selbstständigkeit gewagt und nun muss sie nach nur einigen Monaten die wohl größte Krise überhaupt bewältigen. Inwiefern beeinträchtigt die Krise kleine Modelabels wie ihres und was ändert sich im Fashionjahr 2020 für sie? Die junge Gründerin gibt uns Einblicke in die Tradition und die Rituale der indigenen Völker Perus. Wie sehen Menschen die Krise, die im Einklang mit der Natur leben? Was können wir von ursprünglichen Kulturen lernen? Ist die Krise vielleicht auch eine Chance für die Gesellschaft um bewusster zu Leben und zu konsumieren? Rückt die Welt während der Sozialen Distanzierung näher zusammen?” ______ Wenn euch die Folge gefallen hat, schreibt uns gerne eine Bewertung oder eine Mail an podcast@avow-official.com und abonniert diesen Podcast, um immer auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben.

In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Conny und Lotte, den Gründerinnen von Bridge&Tunnel. Das Social Business aus Hamburg Wilhelmsburg hat sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, benachteiligte Menschen in Arbeit zu bringen und mit ihrer Hilfe Upcycling Fashion aus "Used Denim" herzustellen. Wir sprechen mit Conny und Lotte über Liebesbriefe von Kunden/Kundinnen, darüber was es bedeutet ein interkulturelles Team zu führen und über die Rolle von Arbeit in der Gesellschaft und in der Selbstwahrnehmung. Was bedeutet eigentlich Chancengleichheit und wo kommt die Begeisterung der beiden für dieses Thema her? ______ Wenn euch die Folge gefallen hat, schreibt uns gerne eine Bewertung oder eine Mail an podcast@avow-official.com und abonniert diesen Podcast, um immer auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben.

Ein Großteil der Kleidung in unseren Schränken kommt aus Indien, aber wie sieht es vor Ort eigentlich aus? Können wir noch guten Gewissens Kleidung “Made in India” kaufen? Wir sprechen in dieser Folge mit der Gründerin von RAY The Collection. Die Marke findet nicht nur die Inspiration ihrer Designs in Indien, sondern produziert auch vor Ort. Die Textilindustrie in Indien ist eine der größten der Welt und hat nicht ohne Grund einen sehr schlechten Ruf. Was genau die Probleme vor Ort sind und wie RAY Veränderung schaffen möchte, erfahrt ihr in dieser Folge. ______ Wenn euch die Folge gefallen hat, schreibt uns gerne eine Bewertung oder eine Mail an podcast@avow-official.com und abonniert diesen Podcast, um immer auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben.

Nach einer kleinen Neujahrspause, starten wir das Jahr mit einem aktuellen Thema: Greenwashing. Die Fashion Branche durchläuft gerade einen Revolutionsprozess. Von Fast Fashion und dem Motto „immer mehr und immer günstiger” zu Slow Fashion, die ganzheitlich nachhaltig und langlebig produziert wird. Alle wollen auf der Nachhaltigkeitswelle mitschwimmen, doch manche können es nicht und andere bewegen sich nur auf der Oberfläche. Phrasen wie „Nachhaltig produziert.“, „Wir haben den Wasserverbrauch unserer Produktion reduziert.” etc. laufen uns derzeit tagtäglich über den Weg. Doch wie wahr sind diese Aussagen und was steckt wirklich dahinter? Wir versuchen euch in dieser Folge einen Überblick über das Thema Greenwashing zu geben. Was sollten wir beachten? Wie finden wir heraus wo unser Geld wirklich gut investiert ist? ______ Wenn euch die Folge gefallen hat, schreibt uns gerne eine Bewertung oder eine Mail an podcast@avow-official.com und abonniert diesen Podcast, um immer auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben.

We're getting professional! Neben dem neuen Intro haben wir uns in dieser Folge gefragt, wie der Black Friday und der Cyber Monday mit der Klimakrise, der Generation Z und der bewussten Trendwelle zusammenpassen. Sind derartige Konsumtage überhaupt noch zeitgemäß? Wir spekulieren über die Zukunft der Black Week und reden über Gegenbewegungen, die es jetzt schon gibt. Und was bedeutet es eigentlich für Unternehmen und Mitarbeiter, wenn die Verkaufszahlen innerhalb einer so kurzen Zeitperiode in die Höhe schießen und sich das Weihnachtsgeschäft auf wenige Tage verlagert? Vielleicht regt die Folge ja den ein oder anderen an, den Black Friday und Cyber Monday etwas bewusster zu erleben. Viel Spaß beim Hören.

Kaum eine Industrie hat sich durch die sozialen Medien so verändert wie die Fashion Branche. Täglich erhalten wir Werbung, Feedposts und Instagram Stories von Influencern und Fashion Brands, die uns über die neusten Teile der 14. Saison des Jahres informieren. Folgt man dann noch ein paar großen Influencern, bekommt man auch noch einen Einblick in die Fashion Shows der großen Luxushäuser. Aber hilft uns das wirklich bei der Entscheidung für oder gegen unsere Konsumgüter? Inwiefern lassen wir uns durch die Masse an Informationen und Inspirationen täglich beeinflussen? In dieser Folge sprechen wir darüber, wie wir den Wandel wahrnehmen, warum wir Brands auf Instagram folgen, welchen Content wir dort erwarten und welchen wir nicht mehr sehen können. Wir diskutieren über das veränderte Verhältnis zwischen Kunde und Brand und den aktiven Mitwirkungsprozess von Kunden auf die Wertschöpfungskette. Lenkt die Nutzung von Social Media die Branche eher in Richtung Diversity oder in Richtung einer schnöden Gleichheit?

Coming to the Durham Performing Arts Center from April 16th-21st is the national touring production of ANASTASIA.

Joy's previous credits include Broadway productions of LES LIAISONS DANGEROUS, INTO THE WOODS (Original, Revival, PBS), A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, COMPANY, PIPPIN, MUSICAL CHAIRS, OPEN ADMISSIONS, SWEET CHARITY, and LYSISTRATA. Off-Broadway, she was seen in THE THREE PENNY OPERA (Drama Desk Nomination), GOD OF VENGEANCE, MRS.

For an area with as large a gay population and as much theatre as Sonoma County, it’s surprising how little gay-themed theatre is produced in the region. Oh sure, the larger companies will produce the more mainstream musicals like Cabaret or La Cage aux Folles every few years, and Halloween usually brings The Rocky Horror Show, but little else seems to cross local stages. The nomadic Pegasus Theater Company, in existence in one form or another for about 20 years, is the exception. Its Russian River roots have been planted firmly in the gay community since its inception, and it regularly programs shows with gay content into its seasons. Previous productions include newer plays like Avow to old chestnuts like Norman, is that You? This season Pegasus brings Paul Rudnick’s The New Century to the Mt. Jackson Masonic Lodge in Guerneville. Rudnick (I Hate Hamlet, In & Out) has taken a collection of comedic one-acts and put them together for this show. It’s basically three monologues and a “wrap up” scene. “Pride and Joy” opens the show with a meeting of the Massapequa, Long Island chapter of the PLGBTQCCC & O – the “Parents of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgendered, Questioning, Curious, Creatively Concerned and Others”. Ms. Helene Nadler (Thea Rhiannon) introduces herself to the membership as the "most loving mother of all time". She has to be. She has three children: a lesbian daughter, a transgendered son who dates lesbians, and a gay son into BDSM and scatology. Beat that, parents. We the meet “Mr. Charles, Currently of Palm Beach”. Charles (Nick Charles) has been exiled from New York by the gay community for being “too gay”, which happens to be the title of the cable access show he now hosts along with his “ward” Shane (director John Rowan) where he answers viewer mail and revels in being who he is. With “Crafty” we meet Barbara Ellen Diggs (Noel Yates), a crafts-crazy Midwesterner who makes toilet paper koozies and tuxedo toaster covers. The passing of her son by AIDS has led her to question her faith. “I don’t know if I believe in God anymore,” she says, “but I do believe in cute.” All these characters come together in a really contrived closing scene set at a New York Hospital maternity ward that seems tacked on to create a full-length show. The show suffers from the challenges inherent in running a small theatre company - no budget, minimal sets and lighting, a limited talent pool leading to casting issues, etc., but it has heart, which counts for a lot, and you have to love a show that credits costumes to an entity called “Nutsack Creations”. ‘The New Century’ runs through November 25 at the Mt. Jackson Masonic Lodge in Guerneville. Friday and Saturday evening performances are at 7:30pm, the Sunday matinee is at 2pm. For more information, go to pegasustheater.com
