Listen to the 36th edition of Free City Radio. This edition features an interview with the awesome Tim McCaskell, a social justice activist and long time LGBTQ community organizer in Toronto. This conversation revolves around the current work of Coalition for COVID-Safe Club Re-opening (CoCSCR), this is an excerpt from a recent article in NOW Magazine on this work : "The Alliance for South Asian AIDS Prevention, the Black Coalition for AIDS Prevention, Asian Community AIDS Services and AIDS ACTION NOW! are among a newly formed coalition calling on Toronto's Board of Health to develop guidelines to reopen bathhouses. A petition signed by the groups is scheduled to be up for discussion at the board's meeting on Monday (March 22). “The baths have been community hubs for gay men for generations. We fought to keep them open when police tried to close them down in the 80s. We fought to ensure they were centres for safe sex education during the AIDS epidemic. We need to make sure they continue to be safe places for us to gather in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic,” says Tim McCaskell, a member of the new Coalition for COVID-Safe Club Re-opening (CoCSCR). /// I think that this conversation really illustrates the importance of collective learning from the experiences of collective action and organizing around health that can be learned from LGBTQ activists and organizations. Tim goes into this history around the bathhouses and also the activism around the AIDS crisis in the 80s. I hope you enjoy this interview, recorded for broadcast on @radiockut via Free City Radio and also for listening here on this podcast. Accompanying music is Bronski Beat's track Smalltown Boy.

Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Thomas Sage Pedersen. Thomas hosts the podcast Speak For Change, works as CEO of the award winning music school Everyone's Music School, serves on the Steering Committee for Santa Cruz County's Black Coalition for Justice and Racial Equity, and is a Certified Kingian Nonviolence Trainer. Thomas and Ashanti share their masks, and their conversation centers mostly around Parker Palmer's idea of a “Critical Gap” that exists between one's own world as it is, and one's own world as he/she wants it to be. (1:36) Ashanti's introduction. (4:04) Thomas introduces himself, his podcast, his work as the CEO of Everyone's Music school, and his community work in Santa Cruz. (5:00) Ashanti appeared on Thomas's podcast, and they reflect on the experience as it relates to “taking off the mask” (8:11) Thomas shares what it was like making a mask, and why he tried the exercise twice. (10:00) Thomas and Ashanti share the fronts of their masks. Thomas - passion and dedication, empathy and compassion, lightheartedness. Ashanti - funny, caring, hard working. (10:55) Thomas reflects on how he puts on a "front" during stressful situations, and how re-examining his first mask led to a deeper exploration of self. Ashanti reflects on why caring is an integral part of his personality. (15:30) Thomas and Ashanti share the back of their masks. Thomas - insecure, playful, sensitive. Ashanti - fear of failure, trauma, mental health. (17:48) Thomas relates to Ashanti's experiences with family members that have mental health issues, and shares how mental health issues are symptoms of our societal value system. (19:50) The two men discuss their insecurities. They discuss how it is hard to be objective about whatever they may be insecure of, since insecurity is an emotional, subjective experience that leads to extreme behaviors - unless we learn to accept ourselves and reframe our self-improvement goals. (29:25) Thomas and Ashanti discuss Parker Palmer's idea of a “Critical Gap” between the world as it is, and the world as one wants it to be. They discuss how acknowledging this gap can allow one to make incremental, healthy progress. (37:33) They then share how embracing one's identity, one's strengths and weaknesses, allows for a more authentic and productive life. They also acknowledge the other side, how certain identities and characteristics are connected to gender and gender conformity. Unfortunately, for men, being playful and sensitive leads to negative experiences when rubbing up against the dominant culture. (52:41) Thomas shares how you can get in touch with him. --- Connect with Thomas Sage Pedersen Website: linktr.ee/speakforchangepodcast; everyonesmusicschool.com Instagram: instagram.com/thomassagepedersen Facebook: facebook.com/speakforchangepodcast --- Create your own mask anonymously at www.100kmasks.com If you are interested in being on the Face to Face podcast, email us at everforwardclub@gmail.com --- Connect with Ashanti Branch: Instagram: instagram.com/branchspeaks Facebook: facebook.com/BranchSpeaks Twitter: twitter.com/BranchSpeaks LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch

He also volunteers with Rainbow Railroad, a Canadian nonprofit that helps relocate LGBTQ people who face danger and oppression around the world. You can learn more about  Gareth here and follow Black CAP on twitter here.We talk about how stigma prevents people from living life freely and being their authentic self. People often suffer in silence from stigma, and can feel isolated. We discuss the importance of finding information on HIV (it is out there!) to move beyond fear, and practising kindness and compassion. Gareth talks about living his life openly with HIV to challenge stigma. He discusses how stigma robs people of the opportunity to take care of each other, and forces people into a box. Solutions lie in lifting each other up and seeing one another's humanity. Episode hosted by Dr. Carmen Logie.

In the international Covid coverage there’s a tendency for uplifting Global North countries in their efforts of control and solution creation while undermining Global South countries, as places bound to be the scenario of the worst calamities, incapable of responding efficiently to the crisis or where good covid response numbers are something surprising. Narratives are yet another aspect of the Covid-19 crisis that has been shaped by colonialism. In the final episode of this series, we talk about the harm that hegemonic distorted narratives present and dive into the stories that do not get to be in the headlines. Our guests are Bianca Santana, a journalist and writer from Brazil, a participant of Uneafro and the Black Coalition for Rights; and Alpha Daffae Senkpeni, a multimedia journalist from Liberia and the Executive Director and Editor of the Local Voices Liberia Media network. ****** GREAT NEWS ****** Why Rwanda Is Doing Better Than Ohio When It Comes To Controlling COVID-19: NPR https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/07/15/889802561/a-covid-19-success-story-in-rwanda-free-testing-robot-caregivers How Mongolia has kept the coronavirus at bay: MIT Technology Review https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/08/18/1007135/mongolia-coronavirus/ Not waiting for a savior: The African response to the coronavirus pandemic displays innovation and ingenuity: Africa is A Country https://africasacountry.com/2020/10/not-waiting-for-a-savior ****** LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR GUESTS’ INITIATIVES ****** Video explaining Uneafro’s initiative of Public Health Agents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6H1CNJbgf8 The Black Coalition for Rights Manifest “As long as there is Racism there will be no democracy”: https://comracismonaohademocracia.org.br/as-long-as-there-is-racism-there-will-be-no-democracy/ The Local Voices Liberia Media network website: https://localvoicesliberia.com/ Links to some of their stories: https://localvoicesliberia.com/2020/09/01/man-who-refused-health-facility-recounts-near-death-experience/ https://localvoicesliberia.com/2020/08/02/three-covid-19-survivors-recount-experience-in-gbarpolu-county/ https://localvoicesliberia.com/2020/07/29/new-developments-allay-covid-19-fears-among-residents-of-bomi-county/ Music for this episode: Lumber Down and Raskt Landsby by Blue Dot Sessions

One week before George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis, a young black man was fatally assaulted by police outside his home in a small town in southwestern Colombia.Anderson Arboleda, 19, was chased by two police officers for breaking the pandemic curfew in the town of Puerto Tejada on May 20, his mother Claudia Ximena Arboleda said. When the officers caught up to him, they beat him over the head with batons and doused him in pepper spray. He died the next morning in a local hospital. Arboleda, like many teenagers, loved eating, listening to music and hanging out with friends. And, according to human rights advocates, he died the way too many young black Colombians do: at the hands of the police. But it wasn’t until after a video of Floyd’s killing in Minneapolis went viral that Arboleda’s death became mainstream news in Colombia. “It was strange for us seeing how these two stories went viral. The news media were doing special reports about George Floyd before they said anything about Anderson and the type of things that go on in our own country all the time.”Alí Bantú Ashanti, attorney and director, Justicia Racial“It was strange for us seeing how these two stories went viral,” said Alí Bantú Ashanti, an attorney in Bogotá who directs Justicia Racial, a human rights group. “The news media were doing special reports about George Floyd before they said anything about Anderson and the type of things that go on in our own country all the time.” While the history of police violence is different in every country, one common denominator across the Americas is officers’ disproportionate targeting of young black men. Floyd’s killing — and the protests it ignited worldwide — have given new life to debates over racial profiling in Colombia and Brazil.Related: In France, the killing of George Floyd evokes the memory of Adama TraoréIn Colombia, young Afro Colombians face harassment from the police every day, Bantú Ashanti said. But their marginalization is wide-reaching. Afro Colombians have less access to health care and higher education and are more likely to live in poverty than the rest of the population. “Colombia is particular in the way that racism has always been denied,” Bantú Ashanti said. “When we point this out, mainstream society says that we’re being resentful and that we’re calling out an issue that doesn’t exist.”This is likely a legacy of the deep historical roots of colonialism and enslavement across the continent. While the United States institutionalized discrimination through Jim Crow laws that lasted until the 1960s, former Spanish and Portuguese colonies never formally legalized it. “That kind of overt legal separation segregation did not occur in the modern Latin American republics. What you have instead in their case are ideas that tended to downplay discrimination and segregation.”Jerome Branche, a Latin American literature professor, University of Pittsburgh“That kind of overt legal separation segregation did not occur in the modern Latin American republics,” said Jerome Branche, a Latin American literature professor at the University of Pittsburgh who focuses on racialized modernity. “What you have instead in their case are ideas that tended to downplay discrimination and segregation.”For example, in mainstream Brazil, it has long been believed that people of all races have equal access to opportunities. It’s a notion known as “racial democracy,” which for Paula Barreto, a sociologist at Federal University of Bahia in northern Brazil, has always has been and continues to be a myth.Related: How one protester's death by Colombian riot police polarized the movement“Yes, we have color lines, we have racial segregation and we have racial inequalities,” Barreto said. “We have more black people concentrated in poor neighborhoods where the police are used to killing people.”This is despite the work of Brazil’s modern black rights movement. In recent years, the Black Coalition for Rights has successfully campaigned against reversing affirmative action policies and against bills seeking to give the police more protections, as Americas Quarterly has reported.But still, the recent protests in the US have helped bring attention to Brazil’s issue of racialized policing, Barreto said. Numerous statistics show about 3 of every 4 people killed by the police are black men. Barreto hopes the newly revived debate will inspire the country to do more for the civil rights of Afro Brazilians, she said.“The American opinion and the international opinion about Brazil, in general, is important for Brazilians,” Barreto said. “Brazilians don’t want to see themselves as racists, and they don’t want to see their country associated with homicides of the black population.”

In todays episode we dive in to the some of the most recent responses in the beauty industry to the Black Lives Matter Movement, and Pull Up For Change, as well as companies who are making large charitble donations, which ones are being silent AND how much of it we can actually count on to be authentic as opposed to performative.  The conversation around race and inclusion in the beauty industry is something that we have seen touches of in the past few years but are we finally reaching a critical of point of mass change? Will things go back to the way they were before?  We talk about it today as well as Sephora's recent option to exchange points for donations to the Black Coalition, how Fashion Nova attempted to avoid commentary on the subject at all, and should we STILL be expecting human emotions and empathy from corporations AT ALL?
