What happens when the police become an army? Since 1997, the US Department of Defense has transferred more than $7.2bn in military equipment to law enforcement agencies. This militarization has, unsurprisingly, been shown to unjustly impact on Black communities and is associated with increased killings by police. The Police Public Safety Training Center in Atlanta - more commonly known as 'Cop City' - is just the latest manifestation of the militarization of policing. It is a costly and controversial endeavor, being forced through by the local Democrat-run administration, in the face of widespread opposition among local communities. Resistance to the project has been met with spurious legal roadblocks, activist intimidation and violent repression. But Cop City is far from being just a local issue; almost every US state now has a Cop City project of their own in some stage of development, and the logic, structures and ramifications of Cop Cities are truly international. In this episode we are joined by Liliana, Joy James and Kalonji Changa to discuss the history of Cop Cities, the parallels with the notorious School of the Americas, and the ways in which the tactics and logic of US imperialism abroad are being brought to bear on working class and racialized communities at home. --- Liliana is an immigrant from Colombia based in Houston, Texas. She is an abolitionist and has worked directly with prisoners on death row and their families. She is the co-host of the radio show 'Voz de La Tierra' on KPFT Pacifica, discussing the geopolitical effects of militarism, policing, imperialism, and racism on Indigenous, Black, and immigrant colonized communities across the globe.  Joy James is an organizer and author. Her recent books include In Pursuit of Revolutionary Love; New Bones Abolition: Captive Maternal Agency and the (After)Life of Erica Garner; and Contextualizing Angela Davis: The Agency and Identity of an Icon. She is the editor of Beyond Cop Cities: Dismantling State and Corporate-Funded Armies and Prisons, and the forthcoming ENGAGE: Indigenous, Black, and Afro-Indigenous Futures. Joy also works with the Guerrilla Intellectual University (GIU) podcast collective on Black Power Media (BPM). Kalonji Jama Changa is an organizer and founder of the FTP Movement. He is the author of How to Build a People's Army and co-producer of the documentary Organizing Is the New Cool. Kalonji is founder of Black Power Media and serves as co-chair of the Urban Survival and Preparedness Institute.

Join us on this episode of the HappyCast as we venture to one of the most beautiful places in America, Zion National Park, as we talk about the Zion 100 Ultra Marathon by Vacation races! For this episode, Andrew sits down in the guest chair and is joined by Jessica Schiller as they both detail their experience running the 100 miler. We gain insight and perspective regarding the race itself, as well as the different mindsets going into the race. We hear about their overall thoughts on the race as well as their recommendations for those interested in running it in the future. For Andrew, this was a race that originally wasn't supposed to be, and for Jessica, this was her first attempt at a 100 mile trail race. And to make things more interesting, they were both going to run the entire thing together! Naturally, things could ONLY work out without any issues, right? So sit back (or run upright) and listen to how things went down. Many successes, failures, and learning experience aplenty in this one! And congratulations to Erica Garner and Kaitlin Kennedy, both local Texas runners, who are also mentioned in this episode!Be sure to subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen, and we always appreciate you leaving a good rate and review.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Joy James, political philosopher and Ebenezer Fitch Professor of Humanities at Williams College, about the idea of the 'lesser evil' in relation to her new book--New Bones Abolition. We reflect on police violence, movement capture, Black feminism, Erica Garner, political prisoners, caretakers and more in a wide-ranging conversation.   NEW BONES ABOLITION: CAPTIVE MATERNAL AGENCY AND THE AFTERLIFE OF ERICA GARNER https://www.commonnotions.org/new-bones-abolition Patreon https://www.patreon.com/blackmyths  

Alternate episode titles: -Dr. Joy James Might Break the Internet If You Would Let Her Upgrade You -This is a wonderful, Establishment, Trump and Swiftie friendly episode, absolutely nothing to shadow ban here, nope not at all (devil emoji) If you couldn't tell, we are super juiced to invite you all to a very special, mind reconfiguring politic shaking and shaping episode of Black People Telling Black History with the Icon herself, Dr. Joy James. Join us in chopping it up with Dr. James in what was a rich discourse spurned from her new book, In Pursuit of Revolutionary Love and New Bones Abolition: Captive Maternal Agency and the (after) life of Erica Garner, out now. This pre-Valentine's Day episode is all about love (see what I did there), but not the hallmark card consumer capitalist iteration of love but the love that has us stop our movements from being exploited and destabilized by capitalist interests from compadors or even well meaning actors who are subservient to the system. Agape driven love, what Dr. James demarcates as, "love as political will, communal care and protections...a spiritual, political phenomenon...our capacity to care for and defend ourselves from state violence while also nurturing and being nurtured by individual selves and communities." A love that Assata Shakur and Erica Garner had; both captive maternals, Dr. James argues, who driven by a love for Black people,  forged maroonage in their own right--"unrepentant insurrectionists, the unembraceable against whom the state exercises severe sanctions. A love Black political prisoners who are still being detained in US prisons today had, risking their lives and freedoms on behalf of Black liberation, a love beyond sentimentality, a love perhaps even for those who don't love us back (working on that).  Do not miss out on all this free game and don't say we ain't never did nothing for you. “Despite our care, emotional intelligence and political determination, without collective strategies, our caretaking freezes or falters. Becoming trained maroons capable of coordinating war resistance deflects or defies predatory violence." --Dr. Joy James Support for Dr. Joy James: https://www.commonnotions.org/new-bones-abolition https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/in-pursuit-of-revolutionary-love-joy-james/1141549285 https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/contextualizing-angela-davis-9781350368637/ Intro Diddley: Patience Sings (@patience.sings)

Why does democracy inherently involve loss, and how do black grief and white grievance shape the intricate landscape of contemporary racial politics in the United States?In this insightful episode, we unravel the intricate dynamics of racial politics in the U.S. Democracy's inherent tension and the intersection of black grief and white grievance take center stage, shaping political activism. We explore the personal costs of activism through figures like Mamie Till-Mobley and Erica Garner, challenging expectations on black communities. Beyond sensationalized violence, the episode emphasizes everyday black experiences, humanizing individuals and urging a broadened perspective. As the 2024 election looms, it reflects on the persistent influence of white grievance and hopeful movements like Occupy Wall Street. "Echoes of Change" calls for collective efforts to address unequal power distribution and create a more inclusive democracy that honors the diverse experiences of its citizens.Join this conversion as we delve into the complex dynamics of black grief and white grievance with Dr. Juliet Hooker. Discover how loss shapes our political landscape and the implications for a more inclusive democracy. we explore the intersection of race, politics, and loss in this episode with Dr. Juliet Hooker, as she shares her groundbreaking research on black grief and white grievance, offering valuable insights into our current racial politics.Timestamps: 05:33 - Juliet Hooker's journey into political science and focus on race and politics09:38 - Introduction to the main topics of the book: black grief and white grievance13:19 - Discussion on white grievance as a response to perceived or real harm18:32 - Reflection on the need to give Black people the ability to be fully human23:32 - Resisting the expectation to move from grief to activism quickly29:30 - Highlighting the importance of telling quotidian stories and humanizing individuals34:40 - Tension between black voters and the Democratic Party38:43 - Examples of big thinking and social movementsKey Takeaways:Democracy involves inevitable losses, requiring acknowledgment for a more equitable society.Black grief and white grievance shape contemporary US racial politics, with black grief driving activism and white grievance stemming from perceived harm.Recognizing the unequal burden on black communities as sacrificial political heroes is crucial, necessitating space for grief without immediate pressure for activism.Black Grief and White Grievance: The Politics of Loss" explores these dynamics, emphasizing the catalyzing role of black grief and the fear-driven nature of white grievance.Acknowledging the toll on activists like Mamie Till-Mobley and Erica Garner is crucial, challenging the expectation for constant black leadership in activism.Moving beyond sensationalized violence, recognizing ordinary aspects of black lives, such as Eric Garner's work, shifts the narrative from death to life.Despite white grievance's impact, hope lies in movements like Occupy Wall Street and the Movement for Black Lives, contingent on addressing the unequal distribution of political power.Connect with Dr. Juliet Hooker:Twitter: https://twitter.com/creoleprof Website: https://juliethooker.com/about/ Connect with This Anthro Life:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thisanthrolife/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thisanthrolife LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-anthro-life-podcast/ This Anthro Life website: https://www.thisanthrolife.org/ Substack blog: https://thisanthrolife.substack.com

EMERALD GARNER Most of us, mercifully, get through life without getting the news that Emerald Garner and her family got on a July day in 2014. Her father, Eric, had been killed by a police officer who used a chokehold on him as Garner spoke those words that we have heard all too often, "I can't breathe". While her older sister, Erica, sprang into action Emerald stayed in the background until the day that Erica died at 27 years of age from a heart attack.  With Erica gone Emerald knew that she had to pick up the torch and fight for justice for her father, her sister, and all those who had suffered at the hands of police. Emerald's book, Finding My Voice takes us through her fight for justice. Emerald and I talked about what it's like to navigate getting anti-chokehold legislation passed while raising her daughter and her sister's two children. We spoke about the youth services organization she is working to build and we talked about dealing with trauma. Emerald is someone who found herself in an impossible situation and is taking the tragedies that she's experienced to make things better for all of us. Have a listen, I think you'll be inspired. About Emerald: Emerald Snipes-Garner is the youngest daughter of six children and is currently the Executive Director of her non-profit We Can't Breathe Inc, which is named after her late father Eric Garner and her sister Erica Garner. She is the author of Finding My Voice: On Grieving My Father, Eric Garner, and Pushing for Justice.   For a written transcript of this conversation click here.   Emerald's Action Items: 1) Get involved in any community action that means the most to you, whether it's a school board, things that involve your children, with your mental health services or elderly services, just get involved in something and figure out what your purpose is in your community. 2) Follow me on social media        Instagram       Twitter 3) Check in on all your friends, check in on your people, check in on somebody that you haven't spoken to in a long time, try to make amends with somebody who you left on bad terms with, if it's worth fighting for.  Credits: Harmonica music courtesy of a friend

Do you think there is a specific need for therapists of color to help African-American women and other women of color who are PMADS (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders) sufferers? You may not think race, ethnicity and culture are factors to be considered in this treatment, but it can be--mostly due to stigmas, access, and the dynamics around seeking out services as a woman of color. Join us for today’s conversation around this important topic. Shivonne Odom, LCPC, is the founder of Akoma Counseling Concepts, LLC, which is the only minority-owned private practice in Washington, DC that focuses on minority maternal mental health. Shivonne provides continuing educational training on cultural competence and minority maternal mental health. She loves to promote awareness on these important issues via community panel discussions, podcasts, and local media outlets. She is passionate and excited about all things mental health and advocacy for women’s health initiatives. In today’s episode, she talks about things on her mind and things everyone needs to hear about more culturally competent services, the need for more therapists of color to be trained in maternal mental health, and the stigma around postpartum depression for black moms. She even touches on how some organizations could do much more to support perinatal mental health.    Show Highlights: How Shivonne started her practice just a year ago in response to the realization that there were no local counseling spaces for moms of color for perinatal mental health How she worked at a community healthcare clinic in DC and saw the need, noticing that 90% of their clients were African-American Why she wanted to make as many mental health services as possible open to as many people as possible What Shivonne saw at the clinic: services focused on diabetes, hypertension, and reproductive services---but not on maternal mental health What it means to provide culturally competent care What Shivonne has seen in pushback regarding mental health from reproductive justice organizations The story of Erica Garner, who died a few months after giving birth and losing her father to police brutality----how she could have been helped with more comprehensive services How mental health and stress affect one’s physical condition Thoughts on the changes that meed to be made and securing more therapists of color being trained to help with culturally competent care during the perinatal period The dominance in healthcare of hetero-normative care and the need for diversity in patient-centered training The trainings Shivonne offers: Perinatal Mood Disorders in Minority Mental Health (See the link below for more info on her upcoming webinar on Sept. 28) At her trainings, Shivonne helps therapists discuss and identify cultural and spiritual issues to be able to assess PMADS and to explain how perinatal health impacts mental health in the African-American community The class teaches what a therapeutic dialogue should sound like with a client of color and what help-seeking behaviors might look like for a mom of color with PMADS The feedback she has received about the “powerful experience” of the webinar, and how people felt connected and established professional relationships with each other How Shivonne’s work has been the most rewarding therapy ever The far-reaching impact of this work to help families The myth that moms believe: that it’s selfish to consider their own mental health   Resources: Shivonne’s website: www.akomacounselingconcepts.com  Use promo code “momandmind” to receive 10% off Shivonne’s webinar on September 28!   Find Shivonne on Twitter: https://twitter.com/akomacounseling     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/akoma_counseling     Facebook: Akoma Counseling Concepts

11: Trump to Iran: “This is America,” with Frieda Afary and Ashley Smith Donald Trump has ended the Iran nuclear deal. Our guests explain both the method and the madness behind the decision, which has already emboldened U.S. allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia to step up their repression in Palestine and Yemen. We also discuss the view from Iran, where there have been major protests in recent months for both workers’ and women’s rights. This interview is a continuation of our ongoing discussions about the importance of building democratic anti-imperialist politics that stand not only in opposition to the U.S. repression, but also in solidarity with people fighting for their rights, whether or not their government is allied with Washington. Frieda Afary is an Iranian-American librarian, writer, translator, activist and producer of Iranian Progressives in Translation. She’s also a founding member of the Alliance of Middle Eastern Socialists, which is an international collective of Syrian, Iranian, Kurdish, Palestinian, Turkish, Lebanese, Iraqi and Egyptian members. It is opposed to capitalism, militarism, authoritarianism, imperialism, religious fundamentalism, patriarchy/sexism/heterosexism, racism, ethnic and religious prejudice. It stands for socialism as a concept of human emancipation and an affirmative vision distinguished from the authoritarian regimes that called themselves “Communist.” Its main goals are: 1. Developing connections and active forms of solidarity between labor, feminist, anti-racist, LGBT, student and environmental struggles in the Middle East region and internationally. 2. Tackling the deep and historical problems of Middle Eastern socialism. 3. Developing an affirmative vision of a humanist alternative to capitalism. Learn more here (http://bit.ly/AlliancePrinciples) about the Alliance of Middle Eastern Socialists and its current campaign in solidarity with Middle Eastern political prisoners and activities in solidarity with Syrian Kurdish and Arab revolutionaries, Palestinians as well as Iranian labor and feminist activists in the current popular uprising in Iran. You can read Frieda’s writing on the protests in Iran (http://bit.ly/IranStrikes) and the need for solidarity with all of those suffering military attacks in Syria (http://bit.ly/SolidarityAfrin). Ashley Smith is on the editorial board of the International Socialist Review. His new article “Illiberal Hegemony: Trump’s Imperial Strategy” isn’t yet online, which is all the more reason to subscribe to the magazine here (http://bit.ly/ISRsubscribe). Ashley is also a frequent contributor to Socialist Worker on issues of U.S. wars and imperial rivalries. Check out his recent articles “The return of the regime change haws” (http://bit.ly/RegimeChangeReturn) and “Why the left has to stand with Iran’s uprising” (http://bit.ly/StandWithIan). Finally, the best English language reporting on the recent strikes in Iran might be in the Wall Street Journal (http://bit.ly/WSJonIran), which would never provide such sympathetic coverage in a country backed by the U.S. For our opener, we invited socialists and Movement for Black Lives activists Akua Ofori and Khury Peterson-Smith to discuss the wild and disturbing video for Childish Gambino’s “This is America.” Akua’s powerful Socialist Worker obituary for Erica Garner (http://bit.ly/EricaGarnerObit) touched on some of the themes she discusses about the casualties taken in recent fights against racism.

“Health” is not something that exists in a vacuum. The Hogg Foundation is driven by our conviction that a more just world is also a healthier one. That’s one of the reasons why we talk so often about the “social determinants of health.” The World Health Organization defines social determinants as “the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life.” For blacks in the U.S., a key social determinant is the community impact of unequal policing. In this episode, Dr. Christen Smith, an associate professor of African and Diaspora Studies and anthropology at The University of Texas, and the host, Ike Evans, sit down for a wide-ranging conversation about the impact of inequality on the health and well-being of blacks in the U.S. and beyond, using recent events such as the tragic death of Erica Garner in December 2017 as a backdrop. The episode is broken into Parts 1 and 2. We hope you listen to both!

On this week's episode we discuss a 60's French music icon, a Black Lives Matter activist, the guitarist from Motörhead and the cop who hunted the Zodiac Killer.

In Episode Nine, Barbara and Dan discuss some of the nuances of American politics in regards to Black People. From Haiti to New York, they discuss the righteousness of Erica Garner to the ratchetness of Cardi B. Barbara and Dan discuss the power of 2018 and will be putting out new episodes every month. So, buckle up and get ready for a crazy ride!

Kat and Regina discuss the disproportionately high rates of maternal mortality among women of color in Texas, the Trump administration's latest moves against trans students, and how Chicago is putting religious restrictions above patient access to care.

On the show today, we will be discussing a myriad of topics that range from sexual harassment to Charlie Daniels and the Illuminati.  Can Ivanka Trump really be reliable voice protesting sexual harassment when her spouse is abhorrently a proponent of such behavior as it has been alleged and by statements he has mad publicly himself how does that work out? As the deadline to pass a federal fiscal budget draws near what can we really expect from our leaders—will there be another government shutdown and at what costs? While Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling states that he won’t rule out a crackdown what’s really going to be the outcome of legalized Marijuana depots? Will the other states that have voted to decriminalize the drug now reverse their decisions and begin to prosecute once again; and what becomes of the doctors who have prescribed this therapy for their patients; what alternatives if any will be put in place to accommodate them? Finally, we will be discussing the phenomena of Eric Garner’s death in relation to the fall out of police brutality on Black men.  Can it really be that stressful for the daughters and wives of these men that they suffer health-related issues resulting in premature death?  Come Let’s Talk what are your views.

Sunday, Dec 31, 2017: It's just James now. He looks back on his time co-hosting with Joel and Esteban, as well as his past year & decade at BOND. He may touch on political "failures" Roy Moore (did he fail?) and Paul Nehlen (did he betray Breitbart by going Alt-Right?), as well as Erica Garner, who died at 27 after being a black radical activist after her father Eric "I Can't Breathe" Garner died. James may also touch on perceptions of Jesse Lee Peterson, and how to present him more accurately in the public eye. James also wants to talk (and hear) about success and what holds people back. http://thehakereport.com Credit to AJ Gallardo of @10Fingers11Toes for The Hake Report theme song.

Here' my oped on this: https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/mayor-de-blasio-not-late-honor-erica-garner-legacy-article-1.3761825 I interviewed Erica Garner a few weeks ago and was planning to release her interview next week or the week after. But on December 24, I learned that Erica had been hospitalized and put into a medically induced coma after suffering a heart attack. She's 27 and has two kids and is the daughter of Eric Garner, who was murdered by the NYPD in Staten Island. He was placed in a choke hold despite saying "I can't breath," 11 times. This episode consists of two interviews, done a week apart, I conducted with Erica over the phone. She talked about her demands for DiBlasio, her hopes for the future and the work she's doing. She also shared insights and stories about her father, who she called a gentle giant. I will update this when I hear any updates about Erica. Someone who tweeted out that they work with Erica has been has been tweeting updates about her condition at es_snipes.

OF ALL THE RICH, INSTRUCTIVE, UPLIFT-ING and expansive ways to express the central meaning and message of Kwanzaa, none is more vital or valuable than our seeing and embracing it as a season and celebration of creating and sharing good in the world. Even Kwanzaa’s most essential definition as a celebration of family, community and culture, is a celebration of the shared good in and of family, community and culture, and ultimately what all this means for the good of the world.

Erica Garner criticizes Clinton Campaign for using the death of her father for political reasons. Comparing language of Trump with campaign of darkness & deceit by Clinton Campaign. Reminds me of Pharisees during time of Jesus. Tim Kaine 'rally' canceled. Trump tweeks the media: "Let's cancel the election & declare me the winner." This is basically what they think should happen for Hillary. How does CNN even write this story about national security with a straight face? Recognizing a few new sponsors on the program. Have a great weekend!

Have a great weekend!

We are taking a break from our regular scheduled programming to bring you some of the news that we believe should be highlighted from the previous incidents that have taken place over the last couple weeks. We are taking an in depth look at the Campaign Zero comprehensive list of 10 different actions that we can take to try to stop police brutality. This list was made up by the Black Lives Matter Activist group, and it makes a lot of good suggestions on how we can try to end this craziness. We also discuss our reactions of the President addressing the United States in a town hall meeting aired on ABC News. There was some controversy surrounding this taping as Erica Garner was suggested she would get air time with the President, but was denied it. Get our reactions, and give us yours as well! Thank you again for listening, and next week we come back with Eddie Lacy! (27)

"If A Good cop actually used forced to stop the murder of my dad then he would be alive today." ~ Erica Garner WWW.BlackHistoryBlog.com | WWW.BlackhistoryUniversity.com Erica Garner, the late daughter of chokehold victim Eric Garner discussed the indictments and the arrest of police with guest host, Dashon Farad on The Gist of Freedom. Erica Garner entered the public eye in July 2014 when her father, Eric Garner, died after being put in a chokehold by a New York City police officer. Eric Garner was seen on video saying, "I can't breathe" 11 times before he died.  Erica Garner became a prominent figure calling for an end to police brutality, as her father's last words became a rallying cry for the Black Lives Matter movement. She staged weekly "die-ins" on the sidewalk in front of a beauty supply store in Staten Island, the site where the New York City police officer put her father in the fatal chokehold. -----   Erica Garner had been in a coma since Dec. 23, 2017 when she had an asthma attack that triggered a heart attack,according to the New York Daily News.  Excerpts NPR
