Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week Hélène Himmer, a French national with roots in the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, now based in Portugal joins me in conversation about her current work at African Futures Lab (AfaLab) leading a project on climate reparations. I met Hélène last November at FORGE: Harnessing Creative Arts for Reparatory Justice, a convening of artists, media, cultural workers, civil society, and government leaders across Africa, Europe and the U.S. to further the movement for reparations. The event took place in Accra, Ghana and featured Glocal Citizens Esther Armah (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/esther-armah), Makmid Kamara (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/makmid-kamara), and Nyamal Tutdeal (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/nyamal-tutdeal) as facilitators. In addition to meeting so many dynamic diasporans I was introduced to organizations like AfaLab, an international non-profit organization supporting racial justice movements in Europe and Africa through conducting research and developing policy and legal strategies to empower civil society actors and public and private institutions in their fight for justice and reparations. Currently the Policy and Advocacy Officer at AfaLab, Hélène is a committed activist and professional with a diverse background in human rights law, corporate social responsibility and international development. Her activism began in her early teens with a youth organization focused on education, youth rights and inclusion. She then spent several years working for racial justice in France. Moving to the corporate sector, Hélène worked in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in start-ups and technology companies. However, her passion for social impact led her to international organizations where she specialized in advocacy, project management and partnerships. Her work has focused on climate justice, peacebuilding, anti-corruption, women's empowerment, youth cooperation and inclusive societies across Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa and the MENA region. Where to find Hélène?

Lina Khan recently concluded her term as one of the Biden administration's most controversial leaders. Her tenure as chair of the Federal Trade Commission raised the profile of the relatively obscure antitrust agency charged with protecting competition. Her anti-monopoly outlook and more aggressive enforcement strategies, particularly toward Big Tech market power and protecting workers, earned the ire of the business community and the dedicated vitriol of the Wall Street Journal editorial board.Khan began her term as the youngest-ever appointee of the FTC. She initially rose to prominence for her 2017 Yale Law Journal article, “Amazon's Antitrust Paradox,” which went viral among the antitrust community for its argument that scholars and regulators must look beyond prices to understand what constitutes a harm from a lack of competition, especially in today's digital economy where many services are nominally provided for free to consumers. Fresh out of law school, Khan appeared on a Capitalisn't episode in our first season and wrote for our sister publication at the Stigler Center, ProMarket, as far back as 2018. She also delivered two keynote addresses at the Stigler Center's annual Antitrust and Competition Conferences while FTC chair.On this episode, Khan returns to Capitalisn't to reflect on her tenure, her vision of capitalism, and how her approach to enforcing existing laws with new thinking may have impacted the everyday lives of Americans. How does she respond to her critics, who include major Democratic business leaders? How does she view the new Trump administration, which is continuing many of her transformative policies, including revised merger guidelines and major lawsuits? As a senator, Vice President JD Vance said she was “one of the few people in the Biden administration actually doing a pretty good job.” Reflecting on her work, Khan also touches upon how conflicts of interest among corporate lawyers and consultants, former bureaucrats, and academics distort policymaking, court rulings, and market outcomes. Finally, she highlights the antitrust issues to pay attention to moving forward, such as algorithmic collusion.Show Notes: Also, check out ProMarket's series on the future of the Neo-Brandesian movement, of which Lina Khan is an emblematic figure.

Want a side of modern slavery with that?Didn't think so.Modern slavery is organised crime, and no one wants that lurking in their supply chain. Yet fashion and textiles are key industries implicated in this travesty that traps an estimated 50 million people worldwide in forced labour, debt bondage and human trafficking. Twelve per cent of those in forced labour are children, while women and girls are disproportionately affected. And the problem is growing, despite many countries introducing legislation to ensure large companies are taking steps to ensure their supply chains are slavery-free.All this is intrinsically linked to low wages and wage insecurity.As Outland Denim's James Bartle points out: "It isn't possible to make a pair pf jeans for $20, and pay people a living wage."So, where are we at with legislation and reporting on modern slavery today? What steps can brands be taking now to ensure exploitation is part of story of their products. Why do we still have so few brands paying living wages in 2025? And finally: is it time we built the true cost of a product into its final price?Recorded live at the Good For Business Sustainable Fashion Summit in Sydney.With thanks to The Growth Activists, Australia's leading B Corp consultancy,and speakers:Dr Nga Pham, senior Research Fellow, Monash Centre for Financial StudiesFraser Tier, Group Commercial Manager, Active Apparel GroupJames Bartle - CEO & Founder, Outland DenimSarah Rogan - Oxfam Australia's Economic Justice & Strategic LeadFind all the links & further reading at thewardrobecrisis.comTell us what you think?

Ryann Gerber Jorban joins Dr. Sandie Morgan to discuss how labor exploitation functions as a hidden form of modern-day slavery, and how community collaboration, empathy, and survivor-centered strategies are critical in addressing labor trafficking. Ryann Gerber Jorban Ryann Gerber Jorban is a seasoned prosecutor with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, where she has served since 1998. With a background in sociology from UC Riverside and a law degree from the University of Michigan, she has devoted her career to seeking justice for vulnerable communities, including children, the elderly, and survivors of abuse and human trafficking. In her role as Deputy in Charge, she leads both the Economic Justice and Labor Justice Units, focusing on wage theft, labor exploitation, and fraud. Ryann is nationally recognized for her survivor-centered approach, combining legal expertise with a deep commitment to collaboration, trust building, and meeting survivors' foundational needs. She was also a featured speaker at the 2025 Ensure Justice Conference, where she shared her insights on labor trafficking and the exploitation of children. Key Points Ryann Gerber Jorban describes labor exploitation as a spectrum, with wage theft on one end and labor trafficking on the other, highlighting how quickly one can escalate into the other. Her role involves leading efforts to address wage theft and labor fraud, particularly in sectors vulnerable to exploitation such as construction, restaurants, and healthcare. Labor trafficking often relies on coercion rather than force, such as threats of deportation or withholding pay, to control vulnerable workers. She explains that being paid less than minimum wage does not disqualify a situation from being trafficking—it's about how a person is controlled or coerced. In a case involving garment workers, individuals were found working 55 hours a week for just $5–$6 an hour, illustrating severe labor violations. She emphasizes building legal cases without placing the burden on the victim, allowing survivors time to stabilize before contributing to legal proceedings. Ryann integrates Maslow's hierarchy of needs into her legal strategy, ensuring victims have basic needs met before asking them to participate in investigations. She highlights the role of community-based organizations in providing culturally competent care and case management for victims. The importance of collaboration across law enforcement, nonprofits, faith communities, and local agencies is key to supporting survivors and combating labor trafficking. Consumers have a role to play by asking ethical questions and avoiding businesses with exploitative labor practices. Disasters create heightened risks for labor exploitation, and vigilance is needed during rebuilding efforts to ensure ethical labor is used. Faith communities are uniquely positioned to help identify signs of exploitation and educate their congregations in simple, practical ways.

Vermont isn't just shrinking in population, its aging.  The state has 30,000 fewer working age citizens between 25-40 then it did 25 years ago.  This, while modest population gains during the Covid-19 pandemic has reversed. For those of us at the Innova802 Crew, we see the effects every day.  Many citizens on fixed incomes, who represent a larger share of the population, cannot afford increases to taxes for education, infrastructure and public healthcare subsidies.   For many, the gut reaction is to say, no new Vermont citizens, no new Vermont students, no new Vermont employers taking in  public investment dollars.  While this may seem intuitively correct, it is in fact the path to a downward economic cycle that becomes very challenging to reverse, especially for rural states. We hosted Kevin Chu, Executive Director of the Vermont Futures Project during season nine of the Are We Here Yet? podcast.  One year later, the Innova802 crew had him back to talk about the effort to get all Vermonters on the same page, writing a book of growth in order to create a more livable Vermont bursting at the seams with opportunity and the right balance between caring for our neighbors and having the ability to pay for it.  Listen to VFP on Marketplace This Are We Here Yet? podcast is in association with the Innova802 podcast. This conversation on rural development is so important, we're hosting it on The Housers Podcast, too!

We're excited to bring you this episode as part of The Intersection Rewind: 10 Powerful Conversations that Still Resonate. This series features 10 of our most downloaded and favorite conversations from the last five years. .The wealth gap in America continues to widen, with systemic inequities disproportionately affecting communities of color. According to research, Black households hold just 12 cents for every dollar of white household wealth, while Latinx families hold only 21 cents for each dollar.This economic inequality isn't accidental—it stems from decades of discriminatory policies, unequal access to capital, and systemic barriers to financial opportunity that persist today.In this powerful conversation with Myah Irick, we dive deep into the root causes of economic disparity, examining how financial exclusion, lending discrimination, and limited access to capital have created generational wealth gaps across racial lines.Our discussion explores practical solutions including innovative financial programs, community investment initiatives, and policy changes that can create pathways to economic mobility for underserved communities.After listening, consider how you might contribute to creating more equitable financial systems in your own community.Resources:Connect with Myah on LinkedInConnect with me:InstagramLinkedInRestart Consulting

Felix speaks with Nora Hilgart-Griff from the TAHRIR Coalition and Liz Jacob from the Sugar Law Center for Social and Economic Justice about the Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel collaborating with the Trump DOJ in a series of raids on pro-Palestine students at the University of Michigan on April 23.

In this episode of Leading in Color, host Sarah Morgan continues the BlackBlogsMatter / BlackPodsMatter challenge with an unfiltered discussion on “White Privilege STILL So Fragile.”   Sarah breaks down the ongoing weaponization of white privilege fragility, explaining how it continues to show up in workplaces, politics, education, and daily life. She highlights the dangerous intersection of white privilege fragility with oligarchy, supremacy, and fascism, emphasizing that the next four years of this U.S. administration will likely intensify these issues. She also shares a strategic guide for self-protection.   Follow Leading in Color on Instagram, Threads, and LinkedIn, and don't forget to leave a 5-star review.

In this episode of Leading in Color, host Sarah Morgan continues the BlackBlogsMatter / BlackPodsMatter challenge with one of the most difficult topics of the series: “The War on DEI.” As a long-time advocate for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), Sarah reflects on the dismantling of DEI efforts in workplaces, politics, and society. She discusses the harmful narratives framing DEI as a divisive or undeserved initiative, the economic and career consequences for Black and marginalized professionals, and the systemic rollback of rights that were once considered protected. Despite the challenges, Sarah reminds listeners that this fight is far from over. The push against DEI is a reaction to progress, not the end of it. She calls for resilience, strategy, and collective action to hold the line against discrimination, continue advocating for workplace equity, and expose those attempting to erase hard-fought gains. This episode is a rallying cry for accountability, activism, and resistance in the face of oppression.

For our second episode of the year, we spend our time (maybe predictably?) on a soapbox almost entirely about Hurricane Helene. Chelsea sits down with our friend Alice to vent about the social infrastructure that was already failing prior to the catastrophe caused by the storm, and which was almost entirely wiped out by the storm's impact. Alice shares the government's recently announced plan to surface mine the French Broad River in order to restore access to I-40 as soon as possible, and we roast the American dependency on personal motor vehicles.You can support this podcast at www.ko-fi.com/rednecksrising; for all the places you can find us, check out our linktree.If you want to share your story on the show, get in touch with us at rednecksrising@gmail.comREFERENCES FOR TODAY'S SHOW:Britannica: Hurricane HeleneUSA Today: Helene was one of the deadliest storms in recent history.

We're wrapping up the book of James—what a journey it's been! If you're looking for your next study, grab the Ecclesiastes Journal now. Imagine your paycheck calling you out, your investment account filing a complaint, or your success story turning against you. That's the powerful image James paints—a scene where the rewards of our labor, when handled unjustly, become witnesses against us in God's courtroom. Their testimony isn't just about the money but the motives behind it. They cry out, “Fraud!” “Cheat!”—their voices so loud and clear that they echo all the way to the throne of heaven. Welcome to the Daily. Our text today is James 5:4-6. Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the righteous person. He does not resist you. — James 5:4-6 James boldly calls out the wealthy oppressors who exploit workers to fund their lives of luxury. His language pulls no punches: “crying out,” “kept back,” “fattened,” “condemned,” and “murdered.” The imagery here is vivid. The phrase “crying out” recalls Abel's blood crying from the ground (Genesis 4:10) and the groaning of the Israelites in Egypt (Exodus 2:23). The word “fattened” likens these oppressors to animals unwittingly being prepared for slaughter—judgment is coming. Here's the point: God values justice—especially economic justice. He isn't against wealth itself. Scripture is full of wealthy people—Abraham, Job, David, Solomon—who honored God with their resources. But when wealth is gained at the expense of others, it leads to oppression, and God will hold us accountable. So what does this mean for us? God cares deeply about how we treat others. He cares about how you're compensated at work and how you compensate others if you're in a position of influence. But more than that, this is a call to examine our stewardship. Are you using what God has entrusted to you to bless others, or are you fattening your heart for a day of reckoning? Again, wealth isn't the issue—it's about justice, generosity, and integrity. Let's use our resources to reflect God's character and expand His kingdom. Examine your heart today. Are there cries around you that you've ignored? Are you stewarding well? One day, we'll stand before the Lord of hosts. I want to stand there with clean hands, a pure heart, and a life fully spent for Him. #EconomicJustice, #BiblicalStewardship, #James5Study ASK THIS: How do you ensure your wealth and resources reflect God's character? What does justice in your workplace or home look like? Are there cries of injustice around you that you've ignored? How can you use your resources to expand God's kingdom this week? DO THIS: Examine your finances today—ensure you are stewarding them with justice, generosity, and integrity. PRAY THIS: Lord, search my heart and motives today. Help me to steward what You've entrusted to me with justice, integrity, and generosity. Amen. PLAY THIS: Generous Giver.

We are about to finish the book of James. Get your Ecclesiastes Journal now. We live in a culture obsessed with gaining wealth and accumulating possessions. We even measure success by the cars in the driveway, the size of the house, and the digits in our bank accounts. But what if those things weren't proof of success but evidence of something far more sobering? Welcome to the Daily. Our text today is James 5:1-3. Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days. — James 5:1-3 When I was about twenty-five, I stopped at a friend's home in Napa, California. He was a caretaker at a vineyard on a large estate. Hidden in the middle of the property was a large barn owned by a wealthy vineyard owner. This massive storage barn was filled with old cars, like Jaguars, Mercedes, and Rolls-Royces —vehicles the owner had purchased in the forties and fifties. These cars had once been a collector's dream: sleek designs, polished chrome, and leather interiors. But as we opened the barn doors, the sight inside was shocking. The cars that were stacked up in this barn were covered in thick layers of dust, their once-shiny metal frames corroding with rust. Mice had moved in, chewing through the upholstery and nesting in the seats. The air smelled of rot, decay, and oil, a reminder that all treasures eventually rot. Every time I read this text, I think of that old barn on that estate. James paints a grim picture of riches rotting, fine clothes consumed by moths, and once-prized metals corroding into useless decay. The image is powerful: everything we treasure here on earth will fall apart, rot, and decay. Even worse, it becomes a stack of evidence used against us when hoarded and misused. But the issue isn't having possessions; it's when possessions have us. Too many people in this life are possessed by possessions. They spend money on things that don't matter. For example, did you know someone recently purchased a Stegosaurus Skeleton named "Apex?" It sold for a record-breaking $44.6 million. Crazy right? And another person recently purchased two typewritten pages of drafted lyrics, that were discarded by Bob Dylan, from his song "Mr. Tambourine Man." They paid over $500,000 for unsung lyrics. Seriously! Some idiots bought bones and unsung lyrics? Who cares! The sad truth is now those things own them, and that's the heart of the issue: the things we think we own often end up owning us. We pour our energy, time, and identity into treasures that fade, thinking they'll give us significance or security. But as James reminds us, these earthly riches don't just rot—they testify against us, revealing misplaced priorities and squandered opportunities to invest in what truly matters. But the warning James gives here isn't just about the danger of wealth—it's about the urgency of preparing for eternity. We all have barns, full of things we've chased, stored, and idolized, hoping they'll give us meaning. But barns don't last, and neither do the treasures we store in them. What does last is our soul, and the choice we make about who or what we serve in this life. Jesus offers a different kind of treasure, one that doesn't rot or rust. He said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth... but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:19-20). These treasures come from a life surrendered to Him—a life where our identity, security, and joy are found in the unshakable hope of the gospel. If you've been stacking up barns of rusting dreams, it's time to stop and prepare for eternity. You don't need to clean up your life or fix your mistakes first. Jesus came to rescue you from sin and offer you eternal life, free from the weight of possessions and the chase for more. He is the only treasure that will truly satisfy, and He invites you to receive that gift today. If you're ready to leave behind the empty pursuit of earthly riches and find eternal joy in Christ, pray this simple prayer with me today: "Jesus, I've chased the wrong things for too long. I've put my trust in possessions and achievements instead of You. Today, I choose to surrender my life to You. Forgive me, save me, and help me to follow You. I choose You, Jesus. Amen." If you prayed that prayer with me congratulations—you've made the greatest decision of your life! Let us know in the comments by simply saying, “I choose Jesus.” We'd love to celebrate with you and support you daily as you study the bible. #TreasuresInHeaven, #James5Wisdom, #EternalPerspective ASK THIS: What possessions or achievements have you been chasing that might be distracting you from eternal treasures? How does James 5:1-3 challenge your current perspective on wealth and success? In what ways can you begin storing treasures in heaven instead of on earth? What practical steps will you take this week to prioritize eternal values over material possessions? DO THIS: Surrender your pursuit of earthly possessions and invest in eternal treasures by dedicating your life to Christ. PRAY THIS: Jesus, forgive me for chasing after possessions that will fade instead of pursuing the eternal joy You offer. Help me to find my security and identity in You alone and to store up treasures in heaven. Amen. PLAY THIS: I Love Your Presence.

Project 2025 has become a surprising focal point of the U.S. presidential race. But who exactly is behind it, and why are they targeting trans rights? To help break down this radical plan for reshaping American life, Imara talks with two experts who have been tracking the policy and politics of Project 2025. First, she's joined by ProPublica investigative reporter Andy Kroll who explains what the Heritage Foundation is, how they're training a new generation of party loyalists, and why this could fundamentally alter the way our government works. Next, she discusses Project 2025's focus on undermining progress towards gender equity with Sharita Gruberg, the Vice President for Economic Justice at the National Partnership for Women & Families.And make sure to take a listen to season three of the Anti-Trans Hate Machine wherever you get your podcasts.Vote TransLash for Best LGBTQ+ Show: https://vote.signalaward.com/PublicVoting#/2024/shows/general/lgbtqVote TransLash for Best Individual Episode, LGBTQ+:https://vote.signalaward.com/PublicVoting#/2024/individual-episodes/general/lgbtqVote TransLash for Best Individual Episode, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion: https://vote.signalaward.com/PublicVoting#/2024/individual-episodes/general/diversity-equity-inclusionFollow TransLash Media @translashmedia on TikTok, Instagram, Threads, X, and Facebook.Follow Imara Jones on X (@ImaraJones) and Instagram (@Imara_jones_)Follow our guests on social media!Alex del Rosario: Instagram (@transequalitynow @alexdelrosario1994)Andy Kroll: X (@AndyKroll)Sharita Gruberg: X (@NPWF), Instagram (@NPWF), and TikTok (@NPWF)TransLash Podcast is produced by Translash Media.Translash Team: Imara Jones, Oliver-Ash Kleine, Aubrey Calaway.

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 39! Our guest today is Sydelle Barreto, the Policy Manager of The National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum. The NAPAWF (pronounced “NAP-off”) is the only multi-issue, progressive, community organizing and policy advocacy organization for Asian American and Pacific Islander women and girls in the United States. Founded in 1996 by a group of 100 AAPI women, these “founding sisters” came together to establish an organization that would amplify AAPI women's stories and experiences. They recognized that the voices of AAPI women all too often went unseen and unheard, so they founded NAPAWF to center their lived experiences within the broader public narrative. NAPAWF focuses on four key issues that include: Reproductive Health and Rights, Economic Justice and Equal Pay, Immigrant Rights, and Racial Justice. They recently published a report called Clocking Inequality: Understanding Economic Inequity, the Wage Gap, and Workplace Experiences of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Women. It's amazing what you discover when you disaggregate the data on the AANHPI community when you're researching wage gaps. In this conversation, we talk to Sydelle about her journey to NAPAWF, the Clocking Inequality report, some of the key details, the policies we can adopt at the federal and local levels to support the AANHPI community, and what we can do as individuals to support change. To learn more, read the Clocking Inequality report, visit the NAPAWF website, and follow them on Instagram @napawf.

Text us is you have a question for Matt or a guest. We want to hear from you. Why do we remove kids from their family and pay for foster care when stable housing is a better solution? 10% of children in foster care are removed due to unstable or unsuitable housing. Investing in affordable housing programs to prevent foster care is better for kids, families, communities, and its less expensive.When we start to look at the child welfare system through an economic justice lens, we can gain a better understanding of the root cause issues and solutions. In this episode I share some of my own process of beginning to see myself and my work from this perspective, and why I'm particularly interested in affordable housing solutions.  To learn about the data being released by Chapin Hall you can look follow this link: Family and Child Well-being System: Economic & Concrete Supports as a Core Component to Address Race EquityTo learn more about the Family Keys program in Wisconsin you can follow this link: Family Keys Pilot Puts Families First | Wisconsin Department of Children and FamiliesYou are invited to join the Proximity Podcast Club, a community of people supporting one another through their process of becoming who they want to be in this work.

This week on CounterSpin: Corporate economic news can be so abstract that it's disinforming even when it's true. The big idea is that there's something called “the U.S. economy” that can be doing well or poorly, which obscures the reality that we are differently situated, and good news for the stock market, say, may mean nothing, or worse, for me. A people-centered press corps would spell out the meaning of economic “indicators,” not just in terms of their impact on different communities, but in relation to where we want to go as a society that has yet to address deep historical and structural harms. A new report on the current state of the Black economy takes up these questions. We hear from its co-authors: Dedrick Asante-Muhammad is president of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. Algernon Austin is director of the Race and Economic Justice program at the Center for Economic and Policy Research.     The post Dedrick Asante-Muhammad & Algernon Austin on the Black Economy appeared first on KPFA.

Text us is you have a question for Matt or a guest. We want to hear from you. For this week's journal episode, I scrolled back into my photos to see where I was one year ago. I was on production of Standing with Mom's, a short film we produced for Mother's Outreach Network about their guaranteed income pilot. One of the lessons I learned from MON's founder, Melody Webb, is that we should believe in people, invest in people, and our investments should meet the need as defined by the people we serve. I talk about how this lesson can be turned into a simple framework for assessing our organizations, programs, and ourselves. And by creating the space to go through a process of answering a series of questions, I think we can see if we are in right relationship with ourselves and the people we serve. If you want to watch Standing with Mom's and learn more about Melody and Mother's Outreach Network, you can visit their website.

Third Party Politics and Social Change We would like to present a special edition of Economic Update featuring an exclusive discussion between Professor Richard Wolff and Dr. Cornel West. This program was recorded in June, 2023, but unfortunately we were unable to air this important discussion at that time. You will hear Dr. West explain why he undertook the challenge and burden to run for President of the United States. Given the political reality of US politics, as exhausted by the two major parties, we thought it would be a public service to invite Dr. West to be heard in this form. No endorsement is intended.
