From Sparks to Light - Inspiring Stories for Challenging Times
“We create safety by numbers. The more of us there are, the safer we make everyone.” - Laura DotyI met Laura Doty in 2017 after catastrophic fires leveled much of the county where we both live. We'd shown up to assist the survivors of the fire, people who were now living at the local fairgrounds, uncertain if their house would still be standing when the flames were finally extinguished. For far too many, the answer was no. Over the years we've become friends who share a passion for engagement, for showing up to do what we can, when we could, to make a difference. Laura, or Dr. Doty as she is known by many, has spent the better part of her life as a therapist and forensic psychologist.Laura is also one of a group of local women who call themselves the Benton Street Improvement Association. Inspired by a yard sign project she saw in Washington DC when she attended the Climate March, Laura wanted to bring the idea back to her local community. The collection of yard signs created by the The Benton Street group is what Laura calls, “small potato activisim,” to create a community that is safe and welcoming for everyone.This is a conversation between friends, about the importance of engaging in local activism in a time of great peril. About what it means to show up and bring our authentic selves to the conversation. About speaking the truth because mall potato activism is about planting seeds and watching them grow.As you listen to this episode, consider:We create safety in numbers. What is one thing you can do to lend your voice to a cause that matters to you?Laura talks about the small things we can do, even in our neighborhood. Bringing soup to a sick neighbor. Stopping to talk to someone as you walk the dog. Look for ways to help build community, one person at a time. Summon up your courage to join a community clean up, pot luck or local gathering. Bring your authentic self. Watch what happens next.Learn more about the Benton Street Improvement Association here.Benton Street Improvement Association Facebook page.Do you know someone who has a story to tell?

This week, we're doing something a bit different outside of our typical interview format. This is a recap of New York Climate Week. I'll share some of my impressions and you'll hear from folks like Vice President Al Gore, California Senator Henry Stern, several friends, and fellow climate travelers. You'll hear some segments from sessions I attended and sometimes it might sound like you're actually there in a room full of people. If you hear an occasional cough or something, try to just think of it as getting closer to the experience of being there without any risk of coming home with COVID.Over 75,000 people kicked off the week by taking to the streets for the Climate March on September 17th. Over the ensuing week, thousands of people from around the world joined over 585 official Climate Week sessions and likely as many unofficial ones. I kicked off the week in a somewhat surreal way. I work for a company called NationSwell. We're an executive membership network and advisory that helps sustainability and other leaders take on bigger bets and be more successful. We were invited to bring some NationSwell members like Michael Komori, Chief Sustainability Officer of Starbucks, and joined Al Gore and other climate leaders in ringing the NASDAQ bell on Monday morning – which felt like a fitting start, as a question on everyone's minds is: “If capitalism is up for the challenge, will corporations lead the transformation needed to cut emissions?”In today's episode, we're hearing from:[1:34] Adam Lake, Climate Week NYC Lead of the Climate Group[2:34] Bonnie Gurry, Co-Founder of GreenPortfolio[5:15] Alex Wright Gladstein, Founder of Sphere[6:48] Nyla Mabro, New York Chapter of New Energy Nexus[7:18] Tom Chi, Founder of At One Ventures[8:54] Kirsten Snow Spalding, VP of the Investor Network at Ceres[10:45] Former US Vice President Al Gore[19:29] VP Al Gore on Climate TRACE[12:59] VP Al Gore on the state of climate progress[20:56] Katie Rae, CEO & Manager Partner of The Engine[22:51] Jeff Johnson, Managing Partner of Temasek[24:03] Clay Dumas, Founding Partner of Lowercarbon Capital[25:44] Clay Dumas on the unique opportunity for climate founders today[27:06] Ian Samuels, Founder & Managing Partner of New System Ventures[28:09] Colin le Duc, Founding Partner of Generation Investment Management[33:43] Dr. Vanessa Chan, Chief Commercialization Officer for the US Department of Energy and Director of the
On Sunday September 17, an estimated 75,000 people marched in the streets of New York City in the largest climate event in the US since the onset of COVID. The march called for President Biden to take much stronger action against fossil fuels, including fulfilling his campaign pledge to stop issuing permits for fossil fuel extraction on federal lands and for him to formally declare a climate emergency and to take Executive Action at outlined in ClimatePresident.org. This segment starts off at the beginning of the march with some brief audio of two candidates vying for the Green Party nomination for President, Dr. Cornel West and Jasmine Sherman, followed by remarks by two Green Party officials, Joey Naham and Gloria Mattera from New York. We conclude with speeches made at the rally at the end of the march, from a student organizer with Fridays for Future and Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.
We talk about Sunday's climate march ahead of the UN summit in NYC. There were as many as 75,000 people on hand demanding that President Biden take dramatic actions to end fossil fuels. We also hear from Bill Brunson, a co-founder of the Liz Christy Garden on Houston between Bowery and 2nd Ave., one of the first community gardens in the city.
This week on GSN Patti and Doug talk about PFAS chemicals in consumer products and firefighting gear, excess radiation from the iPhone 12, and the earth exceeding most of its planetary boundaries. Then we hear excerpts from five outstanding speakers at the March to End Fossil Fuels.

Tips And Tricks To Grow Your Garden In A Changing Climate For many of us, spring is right around the corner—or already here—which means it's time to start thinking about what is going into your garden this year. But largely thanks to climate change, our seasons are getting wonkier every year. Gardens are feeling the heat as climate change affects the timing of the seasons, temperature extremes, the amount of rainfall, the intensity of droughts, and more. So it's more important than ever to plant a garden that can be more resilient to these changes. In this live show, Ira talks with a panel of guests about planting a climate-resilient garden, and how to set your plants up for success. He's joined by Laura Erickson, a birder and author of “100 Plants to Feed the Birds: Turn Your Home Garden Into a Healthy Bird Habitat,” Dr. Lucy Bradley, a horticulturist and extension specialist at North Carolina State University, and Dr. Tiffany Carter, research soil scientist at the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Might it be that the climate crisis requires not just technological change but also culture change. Might it be that as a civilization we need profound shifts in how we think, speak and act. If that's the case, then art and creative expression will be critical to stretching our imaginations and to creating the new narratives, paradigms and mindsets that underpin our society. Planning for this episode I became fascinated with the role and potential of artistic movements in creating culture change. I actually recorded this episode with a live audience of designers and creative people at IDEO, the design firm where I work. And so the pressure was on. After extensive research, I was thrilled to find Raquel deAnda and Gan Golan. Raquel is an artist, curator and cultural producer involved in many climate and social justice organizations, and she helps lead the US Department of Arts and Culture. Gan Golan artist, activist, creative strategist, and NY Times bestselling author and he is a co-founder of the Climate Clock. Raquel and Gan met while designing and organizing the role of art in the 2014 People's Climate March. That was one of the largest climate mobilizations in history and so they bring really informed perspectives on the power of creativity in the climate movement. We talked about that experience, the work they're doing now, how artists continue to impact the climate movement and advice for anyone that wants to use their creativity to address climate change. So whether you're an artist, creatively curious or just eager for that culture change we need – this episode has a lot you'll enjoy. Here we go. In Today's Episode, we cover:[3:11] How Raquel and Gan met [4:04] The role of art and creativity at the People's Climate March [7:05] The impacts of the March on the climate justice movement [10:59] What is actually happening and what is the pushback [14:33] What is Climate Clock and what is it aiming to achieve [18:41] How can people get involved and utilize Climate Clock's resources [19:56] Examples of art as an organizing strategy [21:02] What is the US Department of Arts and Culture and what is it aiming to achieve [24:32] Traction for supporting artists through local government [26:16] Funding barriers for climate creatives and ways to support [30:27] How to elevate the urgency of climate in our public discourse [33:54] Advice for creatives interested in climate justice work [36:19] How to bring climate action into the house as parents [39:34] Finding inspiration and emerging ideas [43:14] Other climate resources: Like the Waters, We Rise [45:37] Lifting up joy in work and activism Resources & People Mentionedhttps://climateclock.world/ (Climate Clock) https://usdac.us/ (US Department of Arts and Culture) https://climatejusticealliance.org/ (Climate Justice Alliance) http://www.raqueldeanda.org/ (Like the Waters, We Rise ) Connect with Raquel deAnda and Gan GolanConnect with http://www.raqueldeanda.org/ (Raquel) Connect with https://www.linkedin.com/in/gan-golan-21180b7/ (Gan) Connect With Jason Rissmanhttps://investedinclimate.com/ (https://InvestedInClimate.com) On https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonrissman/ (LinkedIn) On https://twitter.com/jasonrissman (Twitter) Subscribe to https://pod.link/1620915138 (Invested In Climate)
Grian A. Cutanda has a PhD in Social Education from the University of Granada (Spain) and a Degree in Psychology from the University of Valencia. He is an author of fiction and essay, with 16 books published, some of them translated into 12 languages, and a number of academic papers and chapters at the request of various universities. To highlight his international bestseller The Gardener, published in English by Thorsons (HarperCollins) in 1998. Social and environmental activist, Grian has been an organiser and coordinator in different fields within social movements such as the Indignados Movement in Spain, forerunner of the Occupy Movement in 2011; the People's Climate March in 2014 and the subsequent 2015 climate campaign in Edinburgh (Scotland); and Extinction Rebellion, as co-founder of XR Spain and regional liaison for Latin America in XR International. The impact of his environmental activism reached an international level with a documentary screened at the Royal Anthropological Institute Film Festival, The Earth Stories Collection, or How to End Modernism Once and for All (Cutanda, Kendall & Borecky, 2021) and when, in September 2021, he held a 33-day hunger strike as part of the Global Earth Fast campaign organised by Extinction Rebellion from the UK. This made him, along with Karen Killeen, the activist who held his hunger strike against climate change the longest in the world. Founder of the Avalon Project – Initiative for a Culture of Peace, Grian has been linked to the University of Granada as a researcher. His main research led to the creation of The Earth Stories Collection, a global bank of worldwide traditional stories capable to transmit an ecocentric and systemic worldview, illustrating the different principles and fragments of the Earth Charter. In this line, he is also working, with the partnership of the Earth Charter Secretariat at the United Nations' University for Peace and the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, on spreading these stories through the creation of a global network of storytelling activists, Earth Story Tellers.

Alex Epstein is a philosopher and energy expert who argues that “human flourishing” should be the guiding principle of energy and environmental progress. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels and the forthcoming Fossil Future. On this episode, Alex and Chris discuss why being against fossil fuels is being against humanity, what happens in a world with fewer fossil fuels, and the impact of alternative energy sources on the world. Alex explains why "Human flourishing" should be the guiding principle of energy and environmental progress and why driving a Tesla isn't changing the environment. Enjoy!

Join Haymarket and Jewish Currents for a discussion about what the Jewish left learned from Occupy Wall Street. This fall, the tenth anniversary of Occupy Wall Street also marks a decade since what came to be known as “Occupy Judaism,” a loose series of ritual protests that emerged at Zuccotti Park and at other Occupy encampments around the country. The most visible of these took the form of a Kol Nidre, the evening service that marks the beginning of Yom Kippur, which fell on October 7th in 2011, a few weeks into Occupy Wall Street's short history. As the holiday approached, a group of Jewish participants in the nascent movement, led by organizer Daniel Sieradski, began planning a service to be held in a plaza across the street from Zuccotti Park. The event that is remembered as Occupy Yom Kippur drew hundreds of people and attracted considerable press attention, registering a new current in American Jewish life. Occupy Yom Kippur, and the broader activities of Occupy Judaism, turned out to presage a much larger wave of left Jewish movement-building. Though most Jewish organizers at Occupy were not involved in Occupy Judaism, or in Jewish organizing more generally, many of the founders of organizations like IfNotNow first came together in Zuccotti Park; the movement's energy also revitalized already-existing groups like Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ). Ten years ago, identity-based organizing occurred only on Occupy's fringes, and anti-racist and anti-imperialist organizing, including around the occupation of Palestine, was pushed outside the movement's frame altogether. But in the years since, Occupy's limitations have impelled a generation of organizers to try to rectify its omissions, galvanizing anti-racist organizing in the US and a new wave of Palestine solidarity activism. Following a Jewish Currents oral history on the same topic, this event will explore how the contemporary Jewish left was changed—perhaps, formed—by Occupy Wall Street ten years ago. Speakers: Daniel Sieradksi is a web developer and digital strategist as well as an advocacy journalist, digital organizer, and movement-builder. He has worked with a variety of organizations, including Repair the World, JTA News, JDub Records, the JCC in Manhattan, the Educational Alliance, Jewish Funds for Justice, and the New Israel Fund. Sieradski is the former publisher of the pioneering weblog Jewschool.com and the founder of Occupy Judaism. Tamara Shapiro (Tammy) is the Program Director for the NYC Network of Worker Cooperatives. Previously she was one of the lead coordinators of Occupy Sandy, a citizen-led relief effort, as well as Rockaway Wildfire and Worker Owned Rockaway Cooperatives, a worker-owned coop incubation project with residents hit by the hurricane. She also served as a lead strategist and facilitator of the InterOccupy network, created and implemented a networked hub structure for The People's Climate March, and worked at The Murphy Institute for Labor Studies. Prior to these roles, she was the first Director of J Street U, and one of the founders of IfNotNow. Audrey Sasson is the Executive Director of Jews for Racial & Economic Justice, and the organization's first Mizrahi leader to serve in the position. She has 25 years of broad movement experience as a social worker, organizer, coalition-builder, and campaign director, on issues ranging from immigrant worker struggles and tenant rights to sustainable economies and racial justice. Arielle Angel is the editor-in-chief of Jewish Currents. This event is sponsored by Haymarket Books and Jewish Currents.

In 2019, directors Clement and Sophie Guerra produced an award-winning documentary entitled, The Condor and the Eagle. The film documents the stories of four well-known Indigenous environmental spokespeople who are at the forefront of a perspective shift in the identity of their people, from forgotten voices to powerful and influential leaders. They have struggled with feelings of isolation their entire lives and are now discovering the power of their shared voices to bring change to the entire world. When revered Native elder Casey Camp-Horinek traveled to New York in 2014 to lead the People's Climate March, she was met with overwhelming support from the people of her sister nations in North and South America. With the continuous expansion of pipeline projects throughout the Americas, these Indigenous women and men represent the last remaining landholders who refuse to sacrifice their territories to transnational oil companies. Their unification in New York first and later in Paris are among many similar and burgeoning initiatives, mostly led by Indigenous women, that have inspired people around the world to rise for the protection of the earth and give life to the climate justice movement. Filmed in the verdant jungles of the Ecuadorian and Peruvian Amazon, First Nations communities in Canada and Native tribes in Oklahoma, viewers are able to capture the extraordinary beauty in the places, faces and cultures of Indigenous people. The Indigenous heartfelt pursuit for self-discovery, self- reclamation, and a way of life, is chronicled in the film as they build alliances around the world. The film also sheds light on the role of Indigenous peoples on the frontlines of struggles to defend the earth from extractivism and environmental devastation. Today, we bring you audio from a recent panel discussion and Q&A about The Condor and the Eagle hosted by the Indigenous Environmental Network. The Indigenous Environmental Network is a network of indigenous, grassroots environmental justice activists, primarily based in the United States. During todays program, you will hear presentations delivered by Casey Camp-Horinek and Tom Goldtooth. Casey Camp-Horinek is one of the protagonists of the film, The Condor and the Eagle. She is the hereditary drum keeper of the womens scout dance society of the Ponca Nation of Oklahoma. Tom Goldtooth is the executive director of the Indigenous Environmental Network and has been awarded with recognition of his achievements throughout the past 40 years as an activist for social change and indigenous-based just transition within the Indigenous and environmental and climate justice movements. The discussion was moderated by Liana Lopez.

Today we talk focus on climate justice. We talk to 18 year old Climate Justice activist Mishka Banuri from Utah who helped craft and pass the Utah Climate Resolution, the first of its kind in a traditionally conservative state. Mishka is the co-founder of the Utah Youth Environmental Solutions, a youth-led group that engages with their community on environmental issues. She has also been an organizer for the Utah People's Climate March in 2016. The focus of her work is to empower youth to hold statewide organizations and institutions accountable to climate change and build the youth climate movement in Utah. As a Pakistani Muslim American, Mishka seeks to build bridges and empower Muslim youth and students of color in Utah. And Fuifuilupe Niumeitolu talks to Guam Senator Sabina Flores Perez who is creating policies that promote sustainability, indigenous rights, and peace. As an indigenous CHamoru of Guåhan, Perez is informed by her cultures over 3500 years of close connection with nature, which was disrupted by colonialism. She struggles against the U.S. military and works on issues of the contamination and privatization of their drinking water and lands, deforestation of native forest that is home to their endangered species, and cultural historic sites and ancestral burials and ultimately the cultural connection and their identity as a people. The post Climate Justice Activist Mishka Banuri; Gaum Senator Sabina Flores Perez fights colonialism appeared first on KPFA.

Much of the already small disability representation in the media focuses on white people, and often men. This includes Artie Abrams from the TV show Glee, Jack Hodgins from the TV show Bones, and Jake Sully from the film Avatar. Although we would never know it from TV and movies, the CDC reports that 19.67% of people of color have a disability compared with 20% of white people. In many spaces, people with disabilities aren't welcome regardless of race, often unintentionally. Even Ali Stroker, a white woman and the first person in a wheelchair to win a Tony Award in 2019, had to wait backstage because the venue for the ceremony wasn't built to accommodate someone in a wheelchair getting to the stage. Mia Ives-Rublee is a transracial adoptee and the founder and coordinator for the Women's March Disability Caucus, through which she helped coordinate services for over 40,000 people with disabilities. She has also worked with the Science March, Climate March, and March for Education to make them more accessible to all. This episode was produced by Julián Esteban Torres López, Aïcha Martine Thiam, and Nicole Zelniker.
