Last night, Red Wine & Blue held an emergency community meeting to support Springfield, Ohio against an impending ICE surge. A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from ending protections for Haitians in Springield, but the fight is far from over. The Department of Homeland Security says they are taking the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. 15,000 Haitians in Springfield could lose their status in a matter of weeks and ICE could surge.We stood up for Springfield, Ohio, when JD Vance and Donald Trump lied about Haitians who live and work there during the 2024 campaign, and we're doing it again now. In this virtual event, we heard from local residents and legal experts, raised funds for local groups providing direct support to Haitian families in Springfield, and thousands took action, no matter where they're from.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

With climate-driven disasters becoming the new normal, building resilience is the grail. Communities around the world are developing models created out of practical necessity. We hear on-the-ground stories from two different communities building resilience in the wake of serial disasters. Estrella Santiago Perez and her innovative community rights organization ENLACE have helped organize a collection of marginalized neighborhoods in San Juan, Puerto Rico to overcome the twin catastrophes of Hurricane Maria and a failed government. And far away in the fire-ravaged communities near California's relatively well-off wine country, Trathen Heckman helped lead the nonprofit grassroots group Daily Acts to build a resilience network from the ground up with engaged citizens action, civil society groups and Sonoma County government agencies. This is an episode of the Bioneers: Revolution from the Heart of Nature series. Visit the ⁠radio and podcast homepage⁠ to learn more.

Brittany Christenson proves that it's not always critical to work at a nonprofit to positively impact your community and beyond. Brittany is the CEO of AidKit, a Public Benefits Corporation, that helps government agencies and nonprofits administer aid programs throughout the United States. She considers her role as chief executive as holding the compass...helping her team row in the same direction to reach their organizational goals, and ultimately transforming aid delivery into an empowering act of community care.Her unique ability to combine storytelling skills with her deep love for math and data allow her to lead and demonstrate both necessity and efficacy in a powerful way. As CEO, she sets the company's strategic direction, drives technology innovation, and cultivates partnerships. Her and her coworkers help people by streamlining what could be a really difficult, time-intensive process to get assistance for everything from putting food on the table or buying a special birthday cake to getting disaster relief funds.Since its founding in 2021, AidKit has helped over 200 agencies and nonprofits process over 500,000 applications and distribute more than $350 million in disaster relief, publicPrior to working here, she worked at a regional nonprofit focused on food security and community development and played a key role in launching one of the first pilots for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program's (SNAP) online payments. She also managed a 90-acre organic vegetable farm, overseeing logistics and operations while deepening her commitment to food justice. Her undergraduate degree is in applied mathematics, and she has a graduate degree in epigenetics.Contact Info:Brittany Christenson - GuestBrittany Christenson (LinkedIn)AidKit's websiteJulie Berman - Hostwww.womenwithcooljobs.com@womencooljobs (Instagram)Julie Berman (LinkedIn)Chapters00:00 Introduction to AidKit and BrittSend Julie a text!!Hey, thanks so much for listening to the podcast.

This might be the most important episode we've ever done, and we swear we're not just saying that. If you work in or around philanthropy, stop what you're doing and listen. Nonprofits are facing record demand—higher than during COVID—and they're getting less funding. Not just from government. From foundations too. The sector is in freefall, and many of the people with the resources to help don't even see a problem. Eric sits down with Elisha Smith Arrillaga, Vice President at the Center for Effective Philanthropy, to unpack their devastating new report, A Sector in Crisis: How US Nonprofits and Foundations Are Responding to Threats. The findings reveal a staggering disconnect: 40% of nonprofits say that funders have shifted priorities in ways that are less helpful at this dire moment. And get this - 20% of foundations say they don't have much responsibility to help nonprofits navigate this moment at all!! This isn't a wake-up call. It's a five-alarm fire. And if foundations don't start closing the gap between what they think they're doing and what nonprofits actually need, organizations will close. Communities will suffer. And philanthropy will have failed the very moment it was built for. Unless philanthropy as we know it is just no longer useful. Listen now. Share it with your board. Share it with your program officers. Share it with anyone who still believes philanthropy can rise to meet this moment—because that moment is now.

Lured Up Podcast 380: Daily Routine Live Streamed on - 1/28/26 Publish Date - 1/30/26 This week was packed with gameplay as we saw Precious Pals get Taken Over, Shadow Raikou Raid Day and Into The Depths! These events delivered a diverse menu of gameplay styles, with Raiding, Shiny Hunting, Routes and more. This weekend brings us Dynamax Ho-Oh, which may be hit or miss with Communities and might require more coordination than usual to get Trainers together. You will however, have a relaxed pace with many hours of the day available to track down Ho-Oh. Next week looks even stronger with Carnival of Flamigo kicking off on Tuesday and stretching out over Oricorio Catch Mastery Day. This will make grinding next Saturday a fantastic time to play so block out your time now! The Road to Kalos event is just ludicrous with how much it has going on. Plenty of costumes and backgrounds will make this either a collector's dream or worst nightmare.  Wayfarer had some big updates this week with the release of their official map! Wayfinders will no longer have to use third party tools or work with outdated maps. With the forums blowing up over it, I think Wayfarer may have a winner on their hands with the Community. We also saw the expansion of Niantic's Street Corner experiment to all 50 US states and the forums are melting down about it. We hope this will make underdeveloped/populated gameboards receive some POI that don't have to follow criteria that would normally make them ineligible. Finally, we wrap up with a conversation about daily gameplay routines, and how they can bring some consistency and efficiency to your play. We discuss our morning, afternoon, and evening routines and how it impacts what we do. From inventory maintenance to gifting strategies, developing loops for your tasks can help you stay focused and on task. That is until you accidentally forget to do it, making the entire day's progress a bust. Let us know what you do in this game, day in - day out!

Trauma Bonding at a Societal LevelTrauma bonding at a societal level occurs when entire communities become emotionally attached to ongoing stress, chaos, and threat through repeated cycles of fear and temporary relief. Constant exposure to crisis-driven narratives keeps the nervous system in a heightened state of activation, where cortisol remains elevated and the brain's threat centers dominate decision-making. In this state, people often bond not to peace or truth, but to the very sources of stress that intermittently offer reassurance, identity, or meaning. Over time, this creates emotional dependence on narratives, movements, or media ecosystems that feel familiar and validating—even when they are harmful.Neurologically and physiologically, societal trauma bonding erodes clarity and resilience. The prefrontal cortex becomes less effective, nuance disappears, and group identity replaces independent discernment. Communities begin to mirror trauma responses seen in individuals: rigidity, hypervigilance, emotional reactivity, and fear of separation from the group. Healing begins when individuals restore nervous system regulation, reconnect to local reality, and reclaim rhythm, coherence, and embodied presence. Calm, grounded truth—rather than outrage—becomes the antidote that slowly dissolves trauma bonds and allows cultures to recover stability and compassion. Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting/life coach/ gym-chalk covered philosopher talks about Community Gaslighting! 

Slovakia is facing two interconnected demographic challenges: a rapidly ageing population and the continued migration of young people abroad. Patrícia Polakovičová explores how these trends shape the country's future, drawing on insights from sociologist Miloslav Bahna of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and Jozef Božik, Chairman of the Association of Towns and Communities of Slovakia. Together, they examine the structural causes behind ageing, the real dynamics of youth migration, and the growing pressure on municipalities and public services across the country.

Around the world, urban planners are seeking to deliver urban growth and increase access to city centres through the development of transit-oriented communities. These combine new publicly-backed transport infrastructure, with privately-financed residential and commercial development. It's a route to more sustainable cities, but it involves careful navigation of budgetary constraints and the needs of existing communities. Michael Matthys explains some of the challenges of delivering transit-oriented communities in Toronto. He explains some of the challenges, both in terms of engineering, and in terms of meeting community needs. For stations in crowded downtown areas, he describes the importance of maintaining local character, and explains how retrofit might be a suitable solution. Looking further out into the suburbs, he describes policies that can help maintain affordable options for residents, and the engagement needed to ensure community support. Guest Michael Matthys, Planning Lead, SvN Architects + Planners Partner Egis is a leading global architectural, consulting, construction engineering, operations and mobility services firm. Egis creates and operates intelligent infrastructure and buildings that both respond to the climate emergency and contribute to balanced, sustainable and resilient development.Its 22,000 employees operate across over 100 countries, deploying their expertise to develop and deliver cutting-edge innovations and solutions for clients. Through the wide range of its activities, Egis plays a central role in the collective organisation of society and the living environment of citizens all over the world.The post #359k Transit-Oriented Communities in Toronto first appeared on Engineering Matters.

Last December, Martin University announced it would close, citing years of financial strain and declining enrollment. The closure brings to an end a legacy that began more than 50 years ago with Boniface Hardin. Hardin arrived in Indianapolis in 1965 after being assigned as associate pastor at Holy Angels Catholic Church. He entered a city marked by racial inequality, police violence, and urban displacement. It was in this context that Hardin emerged as a prominent civil rights advocate. In 1970, Hardin and Sister Jane Schilling founded the Martin Center in a house at 35th and College Avenue. That led to the founding of Martin Center College in 1977, created to serve adult learners, low-income and minority students, people with disabilities, and others historically excluded from higher education. In 1987, the school moved to a larger facility in the Brightwood neighborhood, and in 1990 the institution was renamed Martin University.  Martin reached a high point in 2001 with the opening of a new $10 million campus facility. Hardin retired as president of Martin University in 2007 after more than three decades of leadership. He died in 2012 at the age of 78.

A new study reveals that communities with multi-racial backgrounds are exposed to warrantless searches up to three-and-a-half times more than communities in white-majority areas. According to the analysis of Victoria Police's use of extraordinary search power, this happens even when areas of white-majority communities have higher crime rates. - Новое исследование показывает, что обыски без ордера в мультикультурных районах происходят чаще, чем в районах с преобладающим белым населением, даже если уровень преступности там выше.

Welcome back to Part 2 of our interview with J. K. Amerson López, author of the book Embassy Kid. Kelly grew up in a U.S. diplomat family in the 1950's and 1960's in Latin America, Italy, and Spain. In this episode, Kelly tells stories that take place after the ones in her book. In the early 70's, she “aged out” of her diplomat family and returned to the U.S. for university. Now a young adult, she explored college, dance, and living in several different states from Colorado to New York for ten years until she found solid ground. Her dance teaching and Spanish language connected her to her communities and eventually her Puerto Rican-American husband.Embassykid.comSee photos of our guests and sign up for our email list at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠roundtripstories.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

In this episode, we take a hard look at what real peer connection actually requires and why it's so difficult to sustain. We're joined by Jackson Boyar, co-founder and CEO of RallyBoard, to explore a model that prioritizes intentional peer groups, shared responsibility, and human interaction over algorithm-driven noise. Together, we unpack what meaningful connection really looks like, how technology can help scale our efforts, and how leaders and participants should rethink engagement, value, and return on time.

*** We recorded this episode before ICE murdered Alex Pretti, a 37 year old ICU nurse who was attempting to help a woman up who had been pushed to the ground by ICE agents in Minneapolis on the morning of January 24, 2026. Despite the administration's attempt to cover up and justify this murder by claiming that Pretti was holding a gun (he wasn't, it was a phone), the facts are clear: ICE is murdering American citizens. And then, they are lying about it.   This is not the America we want for ourselves or for our children. We stand with Minnesota, Maine, and everywhere else that is fighting back. Part of our fight is this episode, and the resources we share in it. Please share widely. We are strongest when we stand together. NO ICE.   We leave you with the words of Alex Pretti's parents, who, in the face of the callous killing of their son, left us with who he truly is, in their statement that they released on January 24:   "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.   I do not throw around the 'hero' term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed.   Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man."   Horns honking, people chanting ICE OUT as they crowd busy intersections. Horns honking, ICE agents smashing car windows, and grabbing people from their cars. Which scenario sounds like the America you know?  Which one, more importantly, sounds like the America you want to be fighting for? Regardless of what you answered, this episode is a must-listen. We unpack the history of ICE (it's not a long one, despite what might be suggested by our current administration), why ICE acting as the secret police for the administration is not only incredibly illegal today but also reminds us of another secret police which rhymes with Schmestapo, and what we can all DO about ICE in our communities, especially when it seems like we have no agency.  What to listen for: ICE's history in America is fairly new – it was formed after the attacks on 9/11/2001. The purpose and guideposts around ICE have shifted with administrations. Most recently? This federalized force of vigilantes, loosely recruited with even looser standards, has been weaponized and deputized to create mass terror, egged on by a fascist leader with an outsized ego and zero morality. The historic precedent:  Brownshirts → SA. Like the Proud Boys but 1930s style, and this is where we're at now. But Himmler wanted educated men to be this force, which developed into the SS. Let's not find out what happens in America if and when we get to the SS stage. What can you do? We have tons of ideas for using your body, wallet, writing/petitioning power, and joy.

#208: A winter storm might make us think about groceries, generators, and the warmth we take for granted—but the real shock lands when a life is taken on camera. We move from icy roads in the South to a deadly confrontation in Minnesota, where VA nurse Alex Peretti was shot while filming a protest. No music, no fluff, just a careful walk through what's visible on multiple videos, what the law allows, and what ethics demand when power meets the public.We lay out the confirmed facts: legal concealed carry in a permit-friendly state, a licensed nurse who never drew his weapon, and a rapid escalation that ends with multiple shots fired into someone turned away with a phone in his hand. From there, we bring frontline experience into the conversation—hospital de-escalation training, the cues professionals are taught to read, and the higher standard we expect from officers trained to control risk without lethal force. The goal isn't to inflame; it's to clarify. When headlines muddy the picture with “wait for the facts,” we ask which facts actually matter and which talking points are designed to distract.This story doesn't live in a vacuum. Communities of color have warned about similar encounters for years, often without the visibility that video brings. We connect the dots between policy and character, between what's legal and what's right, and between public outrage and the slow work of accountability. If you care about use of force, protest rights, ICE operations, VA standards, and what de-escalation should look like in practice, you'll find a grounded, human-centered breakdown here.If the momentum after viral tragedies keeps fading, nothing changes.

Discover how credit union strategies shape the future of cooperative banking in this compelling conversation between host Mark Ritter and Ancin Cooley, founder of Synergy Credit Union Consulting and CU Communities. From his early days as an OCC examiner to running a consulting practice focused on strategic planning and board development, Cooley shares candid insights on what separates thriving credit unions from those that simply grow to size. They tackle uncomfortable topics, including organic growth versus acquisition strategies, member business lending best practices, CUSO investments, succession planning, and maintaining the cooperative banking philosophy while managing enterprise risk management in today's complex financial institution leadership landscape.What You Will Learn in This Episode: ✅ How organic growth creates better operators compared to acquisition-driven expansion strategies, and why every hundred million dollars in asset growth teaches painful but valuable lessons that can't be learned through purchases alone.✅ The critical importance of sophisticated board development and enterprise risk management frameworks to protect member capital, especially when dealing with CUSO investments and preventing the extraction of capital outside the charter.✅ Best practices for member business lending programs, including how to align your strategy with funding goals, determine appropriate risk appetite, and implement proper credit administration to balance growth with sound credit union strategy.✅ Why succession planning and cross-functional education matter more than specialization, and how understanding multiple areas from compliance to interest rate risk creates stronger financial institution leadership capable of seeing the bigger picture.Subscribe to Credit Union Conversations for the latest credit union trends and insights on loan volume and business lending!

A mass demonstration is planned for Saturday evening in Tel Aviv to protest the failure of police to stem rampant crime and violence in Arab society. The planned rally at HaBima Square follows a nationwide strike in Arab communities last week and a large protest in Sakhnin against violence and extortion by criminal elements. Ilan Amit, co-CEO of AJEEC, a shared society organization, spoke to KAN's Naomi Segal (Photo: Demonstration in Sakhnin, January 22, 2026.

When I first toured the Javits Center rooftop farm back in October 2022, I walked past rows of lettuce, herbs, and apple trees on top of a convention center, tasted apples the chef had just brought down from the orchard, and went home with honey from the hives above the show floor. That visit completely changed how I think about what event food can do. Now I'll be talking with Yashi Dadhich, Director of Energy & Sustainability at the Javits Center, about how a convention center best known for massive trade shows is also growing tens of thousands of pounds of produce on its roof—using it first to feed attendees and staff—and then donating the surplus to help nourish their neighbors. From a one-acre rooftop farm and greenhouse to partnerships with organizations like Rethink Food and local pantries, Javits has built a food donation program that connects: � Farm-to-table menus for events � Rescued prepared food and ingredients after events � Community impact, feeding New Yorkers facing food insecurity � Sustainability goals, including waste reduction and energy savings For those of us planning meetings and events, this is a powerful blueprint for turning "leftovers" into impact—without sacrificing service, safety, or the bottom line. We'll talk about: � How their rooftop farm and kitchens are designed to reduce waste and maximize donation � What it takes to build strong food-rescue partnerships � How planners can plug into donation systems when they book a venue like Javits � Why feeding your community should be part of your event success metrics If you've ever looked at what's left on the buffet and thought, there has to be a better way, you'll want to join this conversation with Yashi and bring your questions about working with venues on food donation and rescue. What do you want to know about donating event food or partnering with venues on food rescue?

Overview: We discuss what culturally responsive care really means for underserved communities and how technology, especially AI, can create more equitable solutions in healthcare. We reflect on the challenge of finding tools that expand care teams and deepen patient trust without losing the essential personal touch of community health centers. We talk candidly about the intersection of technology, ROI, and ethics—asking what true success looks like when serving vulnerable populations. Co-design and collaboration with communities are at the heart of our conversation, as we discuss ways tech can scale privilege and raise the quality of care, like improving language access through AI-driven translation services. We also confront the limits of technology and the need for policy change, sharing practical examples from our work and finding hope in partnerships that lead to meaningful innovation Three Takeaways: The Power of Co-Design in Tech SolutionsWe repeatedly highlight that truly useful technology in healthcare—especially for marginalized communities—must be co-designed with input from those very communities. Instead of developing products in isolation and then trying to “retrofit” trust or usability, starting collaborative design from the beginning is critical to both trust and effectiveness. ROI Isn't Just Financial—It's Community HealthInstead of boiling everything down to monetary return, Luis Padilla reframes ROI as the improvement in health, trust, and culturally appropriate care for disenfranchised patients. For community health centers, “margin” is reinvested in service, not profit—a strong counter-narrative to typical business language in healthcare tech. Language Access Technology Has Equity Potential The episode brings forward concrete examples—like live multilingual translation at Asian Health Services—showing how technology (AI-powered live voice translation, multiple language EMR interpretation) can “raise the floor” for accessibility. These innovations move beyond privilege and begin to level the playing field for communities historically left behind.

In this conversation, Jeff and his guests discuss the phases of community recovery following disasters, focusing on the differences between natural disasters and human tragedies such as homelessness and addiction. They explore the challenges of moving from relief to recovery and restoration, emphasizing the importance of individual responsibility and community involvement in the recovery process. The discussion highlights the complexities of addiction and the potential pitfalls of enabling behaviors that keep individuals in a state of dependency rather than promoting recovery.

Today's episode is not the one I planned to release. I was supposed to share an interview I was excited about, but it didn't feel right to move forward after the tragic killings by ICE agents in Minnesota. Families are grieving. Communities are scared. And pretending everything is normal felt like the wrong move.In this solo emergency episode, I speak honestly about not having the right words, but choosing to not stay silent. The Healthy Project was created to shine a light on the systems that harm people, and what happened in Minnesota is not just a headline. It is state violence. It is the predictable result of a system built on fear and enforcement.This episode is about sitting with discomfort, naming what's happening, and turning awareness into action. I share why immigration enforcement has always been violent, why no human being deserves to die because of documentation status, and what you can do right now to support impacted communities.We talk about:The ICE killings in Minnesota and why this matters to all of usHow silence protects harmful systemsThe human cost behind immigration enforcementWays you can take action through education, mutual aid, and community supportThis is a heavy episode. But it's a necessary one. You don't need perfect words to show up. You just need to refuse to look away. ★ Support this podcast ★

In 2001, in the nascent days of the internet, activists came together to wrestle with a growing challenge, the impacts of an increasingly corporatized media ecosystem on communities of color. They set out to intervene in media and tech practices that harm people of color and reimagined how these sectors could better represent the aspirations of local communities. This led to the founding, in 2009, of Media Justice, an organizing, education and field building organization that has generated significant wins, from passage of the nation's first facial recognition ban to another first, limiting the rates that families of incarcerated people could be charged for phone calls. As Steven Renderos, my exceptional guest on this episode of Power Station explains, where 25 years ago the villains dominating the field were Clear Channel and Comcast, they are now the tech oligarchy, billionaires whose influence is weakening our democracy and extracting local resources. But the public, in these harrowing times, is waking up and taking action. First-time protesters are showing up at public hearings to speak out against the economic and environmental harms of data centers. And Media Justice is powering their activism, developing leaders and connecting them across our nation.

This Moon is going to bring into sharp focus the compromises we are forced to make to live in Western capitalist society. In what ways have you been required to sell your dreams or your ethics when it comes to survival and physical resources? This Moon is going to help us - with discomfort - to get clearer on what we want to build in this world and what compromises we are willing to make to manifest those dreams. This moon could also be a moment of defining exactly what we won't compromise on, even if it means taking the harder road.

Welcome back to this special season of The Publisher Podcast, bringing you the best sessions from the Definitive AI Forum for Media, Information and Events, which we held with Flashes & Flames in London at the end of last year. This week features Toby Wiseman, MF for  Content at Hearst UK,  speaking with Flashes & Flames' Colin Morrison, about what AI means to the magazine publisher. Toby talked about Hearst's efforts to get staff on the same page with AI, making them more comfortable with the technology through an AI amnesty, regular training sessions and an AI policy. He said AI should be invisible and was clear that there was no place for publishing AI-generated content. He did however see a powerful role for AI in optimising content discovery and audience engagement, restoring the link between content and communities.

2026 is going to be a significant year for the Soma family and our disciple-making, church-planting mission. On February 1st, we'll transition to 2 Sunday Gatherings. By early Spring, we'll launch 3-5 new Communities. Gospel Basics will move to Wednesday evenings, creating a mid-week opportunity for equipping. Over the course of the year, we'll start new Communities in Cheney in anticipation of growing a new Soma congregation. And by the end of the year, Lord willing, we'll have moved into our own permanent facilities. All of this - and so much more - is a gift of God's grace, a unique moment for us to steward, and an opportunity to double-down on our core convictions of Gospel, Community, and Mission. To that end, we're studying Jesus' Spirit-empowered ministry in Luke 4, and inviting you to a month of prayerful dependence, sacrificial service, and joyful generosity. More info here.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Policy changes reshape border communities as migration drops sharply, bringing relief and new challenges.

The world feels loud, chaotic, and overwhelming—and a lot of people are waiting for something big to change before they feel better. In this episode of The Fitness League, we break down why that approach keeps us stuck, and why real change almost always starts with the smallest possible decisions. We unpack how tiny, repeatable choices shape behavior, identity, and eventually the culture inside your home and community. From decision fatigue and environment design to self-talk and leadership by example, this episode reframes change as something practical, controllable, and deeply impactful—even when the bigger picture feels out of reach. Rather than chasing motivation or grand gestures, we explore how designing your environment, simplifying decisions, and aligning daily actions with who you want to be can create a ripple effect far beyond just your own health. This conversation is about reclaiming agency, protecting your energy, and understanding how bettering yourself is one of the most meaningful ways to better the world around you. If you've felt helpless watching the state of the world—or frustrated that nothing seems to be working—this episode will give you a grounded, empowering place to start.
