Podcasts about Civil disobedience

Enjoy a full hour of Cori and Nina at their best: arguing about attribution, pretending the male co-host is the “designated feminist,” and snarking about various current events. Cori asserts women, old people, and the disabled shouldn't be on airplanes, and Nina, who is all 3 of those things, does her part. We read aloud an inane comment on our last episode that calls us “a genocide-supporting podcast.” Plus: Jo Freeman, Peggy McIntosh, Max Blumenthal, “self-hating Jews”, ICE vs Border Patrol, Jo Freeman, civil disobedience, buffoonery, policing, a ladyfinger in the face of the pope, Jo Freeman, misogyny, misandry, and Jo Freeman.Finally, a Listener Challenge: write a one-paragraph Anglican sermon about misogyny.

What does the Bible say about civil disobedience? Under what circumstances is a Christian allowed to disobey the government? When should Christians rise up and oppose the government?

Spaces of Anticolonialism: Delhi's Urban Governmentalities (U Georgia Press, 2025) is the first book-length account of anticolonialism in Delhi, as the capital of Britain's empire in India. It pioneers a spatial governmentality analysis of the networks, mobilizations, and hidden spaces of anticolonial parrhesia, or courageous speech and actions, in the two decades before independence in 1947. Reading across imperial and nationalist archives, newspapers, memoirs, oral histories, and interviews, Stephen Legg exposes subaltern geographies and struggles across both the new and old cities, which have traditionally been neglected in favor of the elite spaces of New Delhi. Presenting the dual cities as one interconnected political landscape, Legg studies Indian National Congress efforts to mobilize and marshal support between the mass movements of Civil Disobedience (1930-34) and Quit India (1942-43). The book's six chapters compare the two movements in terms of their public spaces of nonviolent anticolonialism, their problematization by violence, and their legacies. This bottom-up analysis, focused on the streets, bazaars, neighborhoods, homes, and undergrounds of the two cities, foregrounds the significance of physical and political space; it  highlights the pioneering role of women in crafting these spaces; and it exposes the microtechniques that Congress used to encourage Gandhi's nonviolence and to tolerate its testing in the face of the rising popularity of the radical left. Legg's rereading of Michel Foucault's final lectures on parrhesia produces a bold new approach to questions of postcolonialism, resistance, and South Asian governmentalities. This allows anticolonialism to be read not as an outside but as a coherent and bottom-up project of self-transformation and space-making that was elite coordinated but whose sovereignty lay with a disobedient and not always nonviolent public. This book provides an innovative and restive historical geography of spaces of anticolonialism in the capital of contemporary India's 1.4 billion people.

In this episode, we learn how to---as Graeme would say---RIP THE SYSTEM. Well, at least until an aunt bails us out.

Peter teaches us in this passage that Christians have been set free from the tyranny of sin and self so that we may freely submit to human authorities as servants of God. Sermon Outline:I. The Christian's Call to Submission.II. The Divine Purpose of Government.III. The Witness of True FreedomSermon Discussion Questions:1. Why is it important that our submission to authority be “for the Lord's sake” rather than merely for social order or personal convenience?2. How do we discern when civil disobedience is necessary versus when we're simply resisting authority because we disagree? What principles should guide us in making this distinction?3. How does viewing government as God-ordained (rather than merely a human invention) change how we pray for, speak about, and participate in civic life, especially when we're disappointed by our leaders?4. How does our culture tend to define “freedom”? How does Peter's definition challenge or correct that? 5. What are some practical ways you can use your freedom in Christ this week to serve others and bless your community?

When governments tighten the screws, should Christian families stay and fight, or pack up and look for a freer place to live? Modern homeschoolers feeling pressure from the state aren't the first to ask these questions. But neither the Word nor history is silent on this matter. Kevin and Josh discuss the examples of Rahab, the Hebrew midwives, and the pilgrims. The common theme: faith and obedience to Christ in the face of tyrannical authorities.

It doesn't happen every day for us, but it started happening right away for the early apostles. God tells you to do something, and the state says you can't. What do you do? What are your options? What are the issues? To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/81/29?v=20251111

For questions, comments or to get involved, e-mail us at audibleanarchist(at)gmail.com The text https://www.gutenberg.org/files/71/71-h/71-h.htm Some consider this text a founding document of Anarchism in the United States. Civil Disobedience is an essay by Henry David Thoreau. Published in 1849 under the title Resistance to Civil Government, it expressed Thoreau's belief that people should not allow governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that people have a duty both to avoid doing injustice directly and to avoid allowing their acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War.

Eamon emphasizes the need for artists to use their platforms for positive change and encourages listeners to support local music. The episode concludes with reflections on the impact of technology on society and the importance of critical thinking.Quick Riffs-Music can serve as a powerful tool for social change-Community support is crucial for artists and musicians-Class consciousness is a central theme in Eamon's work-Supporting local music is essential for cultural growth-The conversation highlights the need for artists to address social issues in their workEpisode InfoBandcamp: https://orodrim1.bandcamp.com/musicIG: https://www.instagram.com/orodrim_official/ATXMP Website: https://atxmp.transistor.fm/Sponsors / AffiliatesCome and Take It Productions: https://www.comeandtakeitproductions.com/Come and Take It Live: https://www.comeandtakeitlive.com/Titan Audio Productions: https://titanaudioproductions.comA&R Foundation: https://theanrfoundation.org/Chapters00:00 Introduction and Transition to Personal Updates03:06 Personal Growth and Sobriety Journey05:47 The Creative Process Behind 'Thanatocracy'08:30 Political Themes in Music and the Black Metal Scene11:19 Current Events and Humanitarian Issues14:04 Class Consciousness and Societal Reflections23:46 Exploring the Dark Side of Leadership26:17 The Society of the Spectacle: Modern Capitalism's Impact28:38 Artistic Inspiration and Community Support30:21 Civil Disobedience and Humanitarian Efforts32:22 The Power of Music and Lyrics34:50 Supporting Local Music and Artists36:57 Navigating the Music Industry: Streaming vs. Physical Sales39:13 Gratitude for the Music Community44:54 Future Releases and Community Engagement47:05 ATXMP Youtube Animation.mov

Catholics have frequently taken a stand against civil authorities, even breaking the law, to remain true to their faith.  The early martyrs refused to worship the Roman gods and were murdered for it. Saints have stood up against oppressive authorities, helped the innocent escape unjust laws, and held onto their faith even when it was illegal. Catholics were murdered for opposing the Nazi regime, and persecuted for their work in civil rights. Many Catholics who grew up with stories of these heroes of faith and justice took away the implicit lesson: Sometimes being a follower of Jesus means breaking the law.  If these stories count as instances of civil disobedience, does that mean civil disobedience has a place in the Catholic tradition? Does the official magisterium of the church have any teachings supporting–or critiquing–civil disobedience? What is civil disobedience, anyway?  To answer these questions, the Glad You Asked hosts talked to Jack Downey, a scholar of civil disobedience who is also the John Henry Newman Professor of Roman Catholic Studies and a professor of religion and classics at the University of Rochester.  Downey's scholarship focuses on contemporary justice movements, liberation theology, religious history, and contemplative traditions. He is the author of The Bread of the Strong, a study of contemplative influences on Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker movement. You can learn more about this topic, and read some of Downey's work, in these links. “We are all called to protest, says this civil rights lawyer,” A U.S. Catholic interview “Holy disobedience,” by Jim Forest “Traditional Disobedience: Renewing the Legacy of Catholic Activism,” by John Gehring “The Unlikely Catholic Activist Who Believed in Civil Disobedience ‘Animated by Love',” by John Loughery “A Metaphor for the Planet,” by Jack Downey The Bread of the Strong: Lacouturisme and the Folly of the Cross, 1910-1985, by Jack Downey (Fordham University Press, 2015) Glad You Asked is sponsored by the Claretian Missionaries USA, a congregation of Catholic priests and brothers who live and work with the most vulnerable among us.

Welcome to our first sermon diving deep into the text of Exodus! Today, we're in chapter one, asking the right questions to unlock its meaning. We'll explore why Israel is in Egypt, why the mighty Pharaoh is unnamed, and how two overlooked midwives, Shiphrah and Puah, become the unlikely heroes of the story.Scripture ReferencesExodus 1: The enslavement of Israel in Egypt.Genesis 12:1-3: God's promise to make a great nation from Abraham.Genesis 46:3-4: God's command for Jacob (Israel) to go to Egypt, promising to be with him.Genesis 1:28: The creation mandate to "be fruitful and multiply."Genesis 3:1, 15: The "shrewd" serpent and the promise that the woman's offspring would crush its head.Key Points1. Israel in Egypt: An Act of ObedienceThe book of Exodus starts like a sequel, connecting directly to Genesis. The Israelites are in Egypt not by mistake, but because God led them there during a famine, promising to be with them. This is a crucial reminder: following God often leads us into hard places, not just easy ones.2. The Unnamed Pharaoh: A Symbol of EvilPharaoh is left unnamed for three reasons:It's an insult: "May his name be forgotten," while the Hebrew midwives are named forever.He's a symbol: He represents the oppressive evil of every empire built on exploitation.He's the serpent: He acts "shrewdly" (the same word used for the serpent in Genesis 3) against God's people, who are fulfilling the Genesis 1 mandate to be "fruitful and multiply." This is a cosmic battle, not just a political one.3. The Midwives: A Blueprint for GreatnessShiphrah and Puah are the heroes because they show us what true greatness looks like in God's kingdom. They were servants to the servants, yet their actions changed history.ConclusionTrue greatness isn't found in power, status, or worldly authority like Pharaoh's. It's found in the quiet, courageous faith of the overlooked. The midwives feared God more than the most powerful man on earth, and that reverence produced a fearlessness that allowed them to defy evil, serve others, and suffer well. Their legacy is a testament that God esteems the humble and uses the seemingly weak to overthrow the proud.Calls to ActionServe the Servants: Look for opportunities to serve those who are overlooked. Greatness starts with humility.Fear God, Not Man: Let a holy reverence for God be the driving force that frees you from the fear of human opinion or authority.Practice Righteous Resistance: When instructed to do evil, practice civil disobedience for the sake of others, not for personal gain.Abandon "If/Then" Thinking: Don't wait for perfect circumstances to be obedient. Serve, give, and act now, right where you are.Suffer Well: When God feels distant, don't let your reverence for Him fade. Trust Him even when deliverance seems far away.

Cathryn McIntyre is a natural psychic and clairvoyant and the author of two books about her experience living as a psychic in the historic town of Concord, Massachusetts. She is also an astrologer; a UFO experiencer; and an occasional ghost investigator. A blog McIntyre wrote about one of her investigations in Boothbay Harbor, Maine got the attention of author, Greg Latimer, who investigated and validated McIntyre's findings and included the story in his book, Ghosts of the Boothbay Region. Ronny LeBlanc, star of the Travel Channel's Expedition Bigfoot, featured an interview with McIntyre in the latest of his Monsterland series of books in which she discussed her alien abduction experiences and her ability to connect to spirit, including tapping into the consciousness of the creature known as Bigfoot. In her latest book, The Thoreau Whisperer, McIntyre writes about her experience channeling the spirit of Concord's most famous writer, Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau is best remembered for his essay Civil Disobedience, which was his plea in defense of the rights of man, and for his book, Walden, written about his experiment living alone in a cabin at Walden Pond in Concord. It was soon after moving from Michigan to Massachusetts in 1984 that McIntyre encountered the spirit of Thoreau at a home near Walden Pond but it wouldn't be until 2006, following an after-death encounter with her mentor, who was an eminent Thoreau scholar, that the channeling would begin. Cathryn McIntyre is the author of The Thoreau Whisperer: Channeling the Spirit of Henry David Thoreau (2018), and Honor in Concord: Seeking Spirit in Literary Concord (2008). She is also the founder of The Concord Writer, a literary and publishing concern dedicated to the words, wisdom and enduring spirit of Henry David Thoreau.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Send me a messageIn this week's episode of the Climate Confident podcast I sat down with one of the true veterans of climate activism, Jonathon Porritt. For over five decades Jonathon has been a leading voice on sustainability, from his early days in the Green Party and Friends of the Earth to his most recent book Love, Anger, and Betrayal.We explored what he calls the “science–politics gap” - the dangerous disconnect between what climate science tells us and how slowly politicians respond. Jonathon was clear: unless that gap is narrowed, our prospects as a species are in serious jeopardy. We also delved into why he believes civil disobedience is a legitimate and necessary part of climate action. Through movements like Extinction Rebellion, Insulate Britain, and Just Stop Oil, he sees a moral urgency that traditional policy advocacy alone has failed to achieve.Jonathon also warned of the erosion of fundamental rights in the UK, freedom of speech and protest, and how the policing of nonviolent direct action has edged dangerously close to authoritarianism. He highlighted the corrosive influence of fossil fuel money on politics and media, and why he believes only a reckoning in the financial system, particularly the insurance sector, might finally force systemic change.Yet despite the anger, Jonathon remains hopeful. Not with shallow optimism, but with what he calls “authentic hopefulness”: the belief that through compassion, community, and radical honesty we can still shape a better, more liveable world.This is a powerful conversation about truth, courage, and the future of climate activism. Don't miss it.Podcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing subscribers: Jerry Sweeney Andreas Werner Stephen Carroll Roger Arnold And remember you too can Subscribe to the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one, as well as give you access to the entire back catalog of Climate Confident episodes.ContactIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - get in touch via direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Rev. Hayes's sermon on Daniel 3

Exodus 1:15-21 | Kat Gritter

In this compelling episode of Spiritual Leadership, host Landon Schott is joined by Pastor Andrew Sedra from Echo Church in Sydney, Australia. Together, they discuss the critical topic of civil disobedience and how to honor God while navigating oppressive government mandates. Andrew shares his experiences of facing legal challenges for opening his church during COVID-19 restrictions and highlights the importance of courage and unwavering faith in today's anti-Christian culture. The episode delves into the theological perspective on obeying government versus staying true to God's word, and practical ways for leaders to prepare for future challenges. Join Landon and Andrew as they explore what it means to be a bold and courageous spiritual leader in modern times.

In this episode, Dan and Steve Fouts are joined by Mitchell Conway to explore a quote from Henry David Thoreau: “It's not a man's duty as a matter of course, to devote himself to the eradication of any, even the most enormous wrong, but it is his duty at least to wash his hands of it.” Mitchell shares his diverse experiences in education, emphasizing the importance of philosophy in teaching across various age groups. The discussion explores the role of age in philosophical discourse, the transformative potential of education, and the significance of the Teach Different Method. Together they unpack Thoreau's views on civil disobedience, reflecting on the ethical responsibilities individuals hold in the face of injustice.   Chapters 00:00 - Introduction 00:10 - Mitch's Background in Philosophy and Education 02:14 - The Role of Philosophy in Education 04:55 - Philosophy for All Ages 07:19 - The Misconception of Youth and Philosophy 10:24 - The Importance of Open-Mindedness 13:18 - The Teach Different Method Explained 16:22 - Thoreau's Quote on Civil Disobedience 18:54 - Interpreting Thoreau's Message 22:02 - Real-World Applications of Thoreau's Ideas 24:45 - The Duty to Act Against Injustice 27:49 - The Complexity of Ethical Obligations 30:57 - Conclusion and Reflections on Responsibility 41:12 - Thoreau's Moral Duty and Civil Disobedience 43:42 - The Complexity of Ethical Obligations 44:43 - Criteria for Opposing Injustice 46:17 - Exploring Civil Disobedience 48:57 - Philosophy Walk on Civil Disobedience 49:44 - The Role of Education in Philosophy 51:07 - Teach Different Outro  Image Source: National Portrait Gallery, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons   

On this show, we hear excerpts from a keynote talk from the Bioneers 2024 Conference in Berkeley, California by Taylor Brobry, Activist and Author of Boys and Oil, Growing Up Gay in a Fractured Land. We then will hear what is called a climate thinker, Gabrielle Walker from her TED Talk on Carbon Capture. Following that, host Jack Eidt's 2024 interview with energy expert and climate and environmental activist Morey Wolfson. Most of us understand we are in a global climate emergency. Data confirmed last month was the hottest May on record, putting the Earth on a 12-month streak of record-breaking temperatures. What we need is to immediately transition away from the burning of fossil fuels toward renewable power sources, but also a focus on more efficient energy use, and most importantly, a comprehensive plan for massive conservation and rethinking the way we do business. But global corporations want to continue with their present business model focused on coal, oil, fossil gas, ethanol, and industrial agro-fueled biodiesel. And the way they do it is advancing solutions like Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage. Taylor Brorby [https://taylorbrorby.com/] grew in the dynamic shortgrass prairie of western North Dakota, a youth that coincided with the brutal physical and psychic scarring of his surroundings by the coal and oil industry, a fate not made any easier by being a young gay boy enthralled by classical music, art, fishing, and poetry. From here, Taylor became a poet, writer and dedicated activist, an eloquent critic of the fossil fuel industry, penning, among other works, the memoir: Boys and Oil: Growing Up Gay in a Fractured Land, the essays in Civil Disobedience, and co-editing: Fracture: Essays, Poems, and Stories on Fracking in America. Morey Wolfson has spent his career in energy and environmental policy. He is a Former Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) regulator, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) employee, and governors' energy policy advisor. Jack Eidt is an urban planner, environmental journalist, and climate organizer, as well as award-winning fiction writer. He is Co-Founder of SoCal 350 Climate Action and Executive Producer of EcoJustice Radio. He is also Founder and Publisher of WilderUtopia [https://wilderutopia.com], a website dedicated to the question of Earth sustainability, finding society-level solutions to environmental, community, economic, transportation and energy needs.

“In tyranny, you may not have a whole lot of political freedom, but you can still live a pretty free life under tyranny,” says Roger Berkowitz in this week's episode of The World in Time. “In your private world, you can live under a dictator and still read what books you want and talk to people as long as you don't act out in the public sphere. Totalitarianism is quite different. It tries to get inside your head, and make you, and make everyone, believe. And it has secret police, and snitches, and surveillance. And it tries to fully organize society. It's the most organized and successful attack on freedom that one can imagine. And so for Arendt, you can't just be an individual and sit in jail and be free if you're going to protect yourselves from the dangers of totalitarianism and the end of constitutional, free government, which is what she's worried about. You need to act politically, and you need to act politically with a certain amount of power.” This week on the podcast, Donovan Hohn sits down for a conversation with Roger Berkowitz, writer, scholar, and academic director of the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College. They discuss the life and work of Hannah Arendt and two essays that share a name, “Civil Disobedience”—one by Arendt, the other by Thoreau, both recently collected in a volume that Berkowitz edited and introduced. Their conversation touches broadly on the works of the two writers, on their differences and disagreements, on the political tumults that inspired their famous essays, and on the lessons to be learned from them in the present day.

Civil DisobedienceWe're taught that obedience is virtue.But what happens when the laws no longer guard the land, the people, or the soul. What happens when they only serve profit, machines, and the men who write the rules to feed themselves?They've built a world where you need permission to milk your own cow.Where the law protects what poisons the fieldand punishes the one who plants without asking.Where your neighbor is a customer, a tree is just lumber,and childhood is a market.But there is an older law.Deeper than decree.Stronger than screen.More lasting than the lines drawn by empire.And there comes a time, and this is such a time,when to obey is to betray the earth, neighbor, and God,and to disobey is to keep faith and become fully human again.Not by protest, but by planting.Not by slogans, but by seed.Not by outrage, but by orchard.Not by winning, but by tilling and tending.So stay put.To feed your neighbor before the market.To kneel in the soil and know your place.To raise children who bear heroic names, holy names older than those of banks, law firms, and lobby groups.To grow food that answers to season, not system.To care for the old without handing them a billing code.This is how we recover a holy remembering.A waking from the spell of profit.A return to the deep bonds of kinship, not to nostalgia.This is civil disobedience.A loaf passed from hand to handA lamb raised without barcode.A fire lit for neighbors, not content.A psalm prayed at the ditch where the wild mint grows.Build the economy of gift.Trade sourdough for firewood.Trust more than they can tax.Love more than they can regulate.Sow more than they can surveil.And let the record show:we chose the soil over the screen,the seed over the salary,the neighbor over the algorithm.We did not save the earth.But we remembered it, and we prayed and we planted.And that, God help us,is how the garden begins to grow again

 As highlighted throughout this series, humanity's fall corrupted God's “Very Good” intention for Creation, undermining mankind's mandate to dwell interdependently and justly with God and one another. As a consequence, self-preservation displaced community transformation as love, mercy, and justice were replaced by hate, prejudice, and politics. However, God's plan for creation has not changed. This series finale details how the ministry of Jesus serves as the ultimate act of civil disobedience, disrupting the systems of this world and recommissioning us for the glory of God and the "Very Good" of creation.  

The Long and Winding Road. In this episode, we answer another listener's question about civil disobedience, understanding the tension for old Adam that's inherent within the two kingdoms doctrine, and we go down a bunch of alleyways picking through conspiracies, immigration, war, colonialism, and ice cream coveting.

In times of political upheaval, when institutions feel unreliable and the future uncertain, how do we resist authoritarianism without becoming what we oppose? Daniel Hunter, co-founder of "Choose Democracy" and seasoned organizer, shares how Trump's second election unexpectedly led him to claim his Quaker identity and discover how ancient Quaker principles provide a roadmap for modern resistance. He reveals remarkable acts of civil disobedience happening right under our noses, and explains why recognizing these moments of courage is crucial for building sustained resistance. This vital conversation explores finding strength in uncertainty, courage in community, and hope in the midst of chaos, offering practical resources for resistance grounded in spiritual practice.Daniel Hunter – https://www.danielhunter.org/Choose Democracy – https://choosedemocracy.us/“How We Win: A Guide to Nonviolent Direct Action Campaigning” by George LakeyWorld Quaker Day is on Sunday, October 5th, 2025, and this year's theme is “Love your neighbor.” Friends World Committee for Consultation would like to invite you to take that message to heart and live it out in your own local community.

As climate impacts intensify and governments continue to delay action, more people are turning to protest, disruption, and civil disobedience to demand change. But when laws uphold injustice, is breaking them not only justified — but necessary? Today's guest is Dr. Kimberley Brownlee, Canada Research Chair in Ethics and Political and Social Philosophy at the University of British Columbia. She is also the author of several books, including Conscience and Conviction: The Case for Civil Disobedience. Kimberley explains what civil disobedience is and presents her argument for why it is a moral right and, sometimes, a duty. We also discuss debates on civil disobedience and climate change prompted by the book How to Blow Up a Pipeline and reflect on the current political climate.   Pullback is a proud member of the Harbinger Media Network Enjoy our work?

As a backlash against LGBTQ rights escalates into an authoritarian crusade, acclaimed author and queer activist Taylor Brorby asks how we can still be fighting this battle? As a writer addressing the fossil fuel industry's acceleration in the midst of climate chaos, Taylor is forced to choose between the existential crises of the assaults on nature and on LGBTQ people. It's all connected, he says, as he seeks to reconcile nature, culture, diversity and belonging. Featuring Taylor Brorby, a Fellow in Environmental Humanities and Environmental Justice at the Tanner Humanities Center at the University of Utah, is an award-winning, widely published writer and poet as well as a contributing editor at North American Review who also serves on the editorial boards of Terrain.org and Hub City Press.

At 82 years old, Sister Megan Rice managed to break into one of the most secure nuclear weapons facilities in the U.S. and wanted to show everyone just how dangerous nuclear weapons really are. Her whole life was dedicated to activism and faith-driven resistance. She believed that sitting in silence when there's injustice just isn't an option. We also have to dig into the history of the School of the Americas (currently known as the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation - WHINSEC), which isn't exactly known for its stellar reputation. This is a story about a nun who stood up against some of the most powerful institutions in the world all because of her passion for peace.Connect with Paige:BlueSky: reverietruecrime.bsky.socialInstagram: instagram.com/reverietruecrimeTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@paige.elmoreIntro and Outro by Jahred Gomes: https://www.instagram.com/jahredgomes_official Resources:https://casetext.com/case/united-states-v-walli-2/https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca6/14-5221/14-5221-2015-05-08.htmlhttps://soaw.org/https://soaw.org/soa-watch-then-and-nowhttps://irp.fas.org/crs/soa.htmhttps://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/army/soa.htmhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Hemisphere_Institute_for_Security_Cooperationhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/858965277https://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=81917&page=1https://www.newspapers.com/image/444208893https://www.newspapers.com/image/691798720https://www.oakridger.com/story/news/courts/2012/08/13/y-12-activists-indicted-plead/49450188007/https://www.newspapers.com/image/667695164https://www.newspapers.com/image/676637414https://www.oakridger.com/story/news/2012/09/12/nun-praised-at-d-c/49412977007/https://www.newspapers.com/image/1137096930https://www.newspapers.com/image/1133672477https://www.newspapers.com/image/1138147018https://www.newspapers.com/image/777634358https://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/277-75/20993-sending-a-nun-to-prison-to-diehttps://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/3-peace-activists-sentenced-for-breaking-into-nuclear-site/2014/02/18/13a6bb7a-9815-11e3-afce-3e7c922ef31e_story.htmlhttps://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/02/19/279460519/nun-who-broke-into-nuclear-complex-gets-35-month-jail-termhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/feb/19/nun-jailed-break-in-nuclear-planthttps://www.npr.org/2015/02/05/383839649/supporters-say-imprisioned-nun-is-being-held-in-unfair-conditionshttps://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/05/13/406252639/imprisoned-nuclear-activist-nun-granted-victory-on-appealhttps://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/27/science/sister-megan-rice-anti-nuclear-weapons-activist-freed-from-prison.htmlhttps://www.franciscanmedia.org/st-anthony-messenger/january-2019/an-interview-with-sister-megan-rice/https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/megan-rice-dead/2021/10/11/f11ef0d0-28cc-11ec-9de8-156fed3e81bf_story.htmlhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/773352005/https://www.newspapers.com/image/773412195https://www.franciscanmedia.org/news-commentary/sister-megan-rice-who-crusaded-against-nuclear-weapons-dies-at-91 https://www.newspapers.com/image/773801881/https://www.newspapers.com/image/773774428https://www.newspapers.com/image/773759829/https://www.newspapers.com/image/773774400https://www.newspapers.com/image/773736313https://www.npr.org/2021/10/17/1046925342/megan-rice-peace-activist-nun-imprisoned-for-nuclear-site-break-in-dies-at-91https://www.newspapers.com/image/952311819https://www.nukeresister.org/2021/10/27/nuclear-disarmament-activist-sr-megan-rice-dies-at-age-91/#more-9611https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2021/11/03/sister-megan-rice-peace-activist-241727https://broadview.org/nuns-plowshares-protesters/https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/12/27/2021-obituary-megan-rice-520597https://www.vaticannews.va/en/church/news/2023-01/sister-megan-and-the-transform-plowshares-now-trio.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reverie-true-crime--4442888/support.

What can one person do to change the world? Julia Butterfly Hill answered this question with an extraordinary act of courage and conviction. In 1997, with no formal training in activism or environmentalism, Julia climbed into a 1,000-year-old redwood tree named Luna and refused to come down for over two years. Her purpose? To save the ancient redwood from being logged.In this episode of Passion Struck, we examine the powerful story behind Julia's 738-day tree-sit and how her unwavering commitment drew global attention to the devastation of ancient forests. Julia's story isn't just about environmental activism—it's a profound example of how one person's intentional choice can spark a ripple effect, inspiring people worldwide to take action for causes they believe in.Through Julia's remarkable journey, we unpack her lessons about courage, personal transformation, and the power of standing up for something—even if you're standing alone. You'll also hear insights on how you, too, can make a difference, starting with the small choices you make every day.Link to the full show notes:   https://passionstruck.com/julia-butterfly-hill-the-power-of-one/Don't wait for the perfect moment or the perfect support system to act.
