Podcasts about culture coalition

We check in with Agela Abdullah, Kyra James and Nicole Garrett of the Cheese Culture Coalition about the CCC's growth as a non profit, and as a national community since they were on CTC in 2021. One indicator of their success is the sizable grant and scholarship program available for BIPOC cheese professionals to further their cheese education and professional development. Deadline to apply for grants and the CMI scholarship is May 10th! Listen here for all of the details.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Specific areas of the US are associated with specific industries. In those places, people who work in those industries can make a lot of money. For example, Silicon Valley is known for tech. Software development is so lucrative for so many people there its driven the cost-of-living sky high. In Los Angeles, the TV and movie industry creates enormous wealth for actors, directors, and a large number of allied careers. New Orleans is famous for its music. But, with literally one or two exceptions, you'll have a hard time meeting a musician or anyone else in the local music business who's getting wealthy.  Why is that?  Reid Wick, Senior Membership & Project Manager at The Recording Academy – the people who own the Grammy's – says its because when we were at the pinnacle of nationwide musical importance in the 1950's, nobody had the foresight to develop a music business infrastructure. And we're still paying the price for that today. How do we fix it? Reid has ideas.  It's not like Reid or other people in the music business are sitting on their hands, doing nothing to change the status of musicians in New Orleans. Take, for example MACCNO, Music and Culture Coalition of New Orleans. MACCNO was formed in 2012, spearheaded by musician Kermit Ruffins' angry response to the city's proposed crackdown on live music permits. The organization has been a highly visible and vocal advocate for musicians' and other artists' ever since. The Executive Director of MACCNO is Ethan Ellestad. We know only too well that consensus alone doesn't bring about change. We all agree, for example, that there should be equal pay for equal work. But women are still paid less than men.  Similarly, you won't find a single person in New Orleans who disagrees with the notion that musicians should be paid at a level commensurate with their importance as some of our most valued citizens. And yet, year after year, decade after decade, we're still having this same conversation about musicians' struggles to make a decent living here. At some point this has to change. And when it does, it's going to be because of the tireless efforts of people like Reid Wick and Ethan Ellestad. Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at NOLA Pizza in the NOLA Brewing Taproom.

Hundreds of volunteers across the county coordinated this morning to accomplish one single task: record an accurate count of the region's homeless population. Then, the woman at the center of a national conservative media firestorm, stemming from a shower she took at the Santee YMCA, addresses the Santee city council. Plus, the small California community of Half Moon Bay is still reeling from a mass shooting earlier this week. Later, a kitchen in Barrio Logan introduces students to potential culinary careers. Plus, we dig into our archive for a 2019 conversation with “Sesame Street” co-creator Lloyd Morrisett whose death was announced Monday. Finally, the San Diego Regional Arts and Culture Coalition has a new leader who is reimagining a ‘new normal' for local artists and arts organizations.

"People live out loud and outside, and I do have concerns that public gathering, public music — that the surveillance is going to lead to more policing of public space."Those are the words of Ursula Price, a racial justice and civil rights advocate in New Orleans who has opposed the city's expanding connected camera network. She's one of the many people featured in the second episode of City Surveillance Watch, which takes listeners on a coast-to-coast journey for a glimpse at how surveillance tech is used and how it affects real people.We'll dig into how private funding and public-private partnerships are enabling surveillance programs — from growing surveillance camera networks in New Orleans and Detroit that stream data to police monitoring centers, to privately-funded drones and license plate readers in Chula Vista, CA and Kansas City.We'll look into how law enforcement in Kansas City and Mt. Juliet, TN combine data from multiple forms of surveillance tech like license plate readers, connected cameras and video from Amazon Ring security cameras. We'll explore why some urban residents are pushing to deploy more surveillance tech on their streets and in local businesses. And we'll ponder a future in which privately-funded surveillance tech moves decision-making — once subject to government accountability and oversight — deeper into the shadows.Sources featured in this episode: Jacob Becchina, sergeant, Kansas City Missouri Police Department; Ross Bourgeois, New Orleans Real Time Crime Center administrator; Renard Bridgewater, anti-surveillance activist, hip hop band leader and MC and community engagement coordinator for the Music and Culture Coalition of New Orleans; Tyler Chandler, captain, Mt.

This week we are joined by members from the Bourbon Alliance of Responsible Entertainers (BARE) and The Music and Culture Coalition of New Orleans (MACCNO) to talk about proposed ordinance 32523, that has been brought forth by Council Members Kristin Palmer and Cyndi Nguyen. This ordinance, put simply, if enacted is yet another sexist and paternalistic law aimed at controlling a woman's right to do with their body whatever they so choose with scary 1984-esque government surveillance sprinkled on top. In this episode of #ResistanceRadio we dive into this terrible ordinance, talk through the implications if it is allowed to pass the New Orleans City Council and talk through what YOU can do to stop it. Tune in!

Ethan Ellestad from the Music & Culture Coalition of New Orleans returns to the show to discuss a new City Council ordinance (much like the one defeated 9 months ago), that puts at risk New Orleans’ neighborhood music and culture incubators. We dive a little deep into the history of city cultural and racially charged legislation.After about an hour, Ethan departs and we get into the darkness and depression following the NOLA No-Call in the NFC championship game, touch on Anthony Davis’ trade request to the Pelicans, and offer our services to fight against Putin with propaganda.

Ethan Ellestad from Music & Culture Coalition of New Orleans returns to the show to discuss the issues surrounding dwindling neighborhood music venues, and the stark realities of tourism industrial sector. Folks, it is a good life in New Orleans, but we have to stay woke sometimes to remember we have keep it that way. MACCNO is a leader in our community in doing just that. Thanks for tuning in, and please support www.maccno.com.

Welcome Back Faithful Listeners! We've invited a couple of real social justice warriors on the show this week! Sue Mobley might be the busiest person I know. Her primary hustle is Public Programs Manager at Tulane University's Albert and Tina Small Center for Collaborative Design, which works, “with community-based organizations to provide design services for constituencies who are underserved by the architecture and design professions.” In addition to that mouthful of a job title, Sue works with Paper Monuments, WWOZ, the Music and Culture Coalition of New Orleans, and St. Claude Main Street, among others. Our second guest, Corinna Yazbek, is the Senior Associate for Strategic Partnerships at the Vera Institute of Justice, where she explores, “the intersections of economic justice, mass incarceration, and reproductive justice.” Corinna's recent work has been on the criminalization of sex work, so she's been involved locally in fighting the state and local crackdown on stripclubs, which we discussed a few weeks ago on the episode “What's Your Real Job”. We had a great, wide ranging conversation that touched on a lot of topics. Street protests, the ethics of tip-based-income systems, using of “social justice warrior” as a pejorative, and so much more. It's a long one, but worth the trip, so strap in and enjoy! -Cole

Welcome back faithful listeners! What is it that people like most about New Orleans? When asked, the response will usually involve an affinity for our music and culture. From an outside perspective, these two aspects are what make New Orleans so special. These unique attributes, surprisingly, are not completely inherent. Organizations like The Music and Culture Coalition of New Orleans are doing amazing work supporting those effected by issues that would otherwise threaten some of the things that we hold dear in our community. That being said, we were excited to have the chance to sit down and talk with two of the folks behind MaCCNO: Hannah Kreiger-Benson and Ethan Ellestad. Among the topics we get to discuss are the Noise Ordinance, the Smoking Ban, and the proposed $40 million safety plan that has been under discussion. Anywho, enjoy the episode! It's a pleasure having the chance to explore the issues that face our city and have a productive discussion about it. Cheers! Steve
