Synopsis:  In a conversation that spans decades of activism, Ellen Gavin and Dolores Huerta join Laura Flanders to discuss the role of narratives in breaking down silos and fears, highlighting the impact of storytelling on building movements and inspiring courage in the face of adversity.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: People are taking to the streets and calling out fascism in bold, unique ways, but we're not all there yet. If you need some encouragement, watch "The People, United" — a gripping short film about everyday Americans standing up to ICE and winning through nonviolent resistance. Created by Ellen Gavin and presented in collaboration with the Dolores Huerta Foundation and People for the American Way, the video is a powerful example of storytelling as an organizing tool. In this episode, lifelong activists and old friends Ellen Gavin and Dolores Huerta join Laura Flanders to explore how narratives help break through our silos and fears under this second Trump administration. Gavin's works as a writer, director and producer have brought millions of views to social justice storytelling; she is also founder of Gavin Creative Collab and founding artistic director of Brava! for Women in the Arts. Huerta is co-founder of the United Farm Workers with César Chávez and founder and president of the Dolores Huerta Foundation. Still organizing at 95 years old, she is recognized as one of the most influential labor organizers of the twentieth century and coined the iconic rallying cry “Si Se Puede.” She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. Find out how narratives shatter fear and build movements, plus a commentary from Laura.“. . . We want people to be on our team. We want people to be touched in a way that says, ‘I want to be that neighbor. I want to be that helper. I want to be that person who sees something and does something instead of reacts with fear.' When they say that fear is contagious, and then they say, courage is contagious.” - Ellen Gavin“. . . In the farm, we didn't respond with violence . . . César [Chávez] fasted for 25 days and then 36 days . . .  The other side, they want us to respond with violence, and we can respond with non-violence because they would like to have martial law for the whole country. So we've really got to have a lot of discipline now.” - Dolores HuertaGuests:•  Ellen Gavin: Writer, Director, Producer: The People, United; Founder, Gavin Creative Collab• Dolores Huerta: Co-founder of the United Farm Workers; Founder & President, The Dolores Huerta Foundation Watch the special report on YouTube; PBS World Channel Sundays 11:30am ET, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Can Mexico hold American gun makers accountable for cross-border violence? In this week's Cut to the Chase: Podcast, Gregg welcomes Jonathan Lowy, an attorney and Founder/President of Global Action on Gun Violence. Jon is here to unpack the groundbreaking Supreme Court case Estados Unidos Mexicanos v. Smith & Wesson. Jon explains how guns trafficked from US gun dealers are fueling cartel violence in Mexico and how US legal protections shield the gun industry from accountability. Jonathan breaks down what the Court's 9-0 ruling really means, why the door isn't closed for future lawsuits, and how legal strategies are evolving to tackle global gun violence. If you're passionate about stopping gun violence while respecting lawful ownership, share this episode, join the conversation at actiononguns.org and be a part of the movement for common-sense solutions! What to expect in this episode: Inside the Case: What the Mexico v. Smith & Wesson Supreme Court ruling entails Targeting Manufacturers: Why the lawsuit focused on illegal sales, not Second Amendment rights Cross-Border Trafficking: How over 200,000 American guns flow into Mexico every year “Bad Apple” Dealers: The small group responsible for most illegal gun trafficking Legal Shield: How PLCAA limits accountability for gun manufacturers SCOTUS Verdict: What the unanimous 9–0 decision confirmed (and left open) Global Action's Fight: Ongoing legal efforts in the US and Canada to curb gun violence Take Action: How listeners and lawyers can help stop illegal gun sales Bipartisan Ground: Unexpected agreement on the need to end gun trafficking   Key Actionable Takeaways: Dig Into Supply Chains: When investigating liability, always trace the product's journey. Downstream actions and knowledge can make or break “aiding and abetting” arguments. Monitor International Litigation: Cross-border cases are rising, and strategies used internationally can circle back home, opening new avenues (or defenses).  Be Agile in Complaints: A higher degree of specificity may now be required… Detailed allegations tying manufacturers to specific dealers and sales are critical post-ruling. Bridge the Political Divide: Litigation and reform around gun trafficking can be nonpartisan; framing your approach this way may engage wider support both inside and outside the courtroom.   Stay tuned for more updates, and don't miss our next deep dive on Cut to the Chase: Podcast with Gregg Goldfarb!   Subscribe, rate, review, and share this episode of the Cut to the Chase: Podcast!   Resources: Learn more from Global Action on Gun Violence: actiononguns.org Connect with Jonathan Lowy on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanlowy    This episode was produced and brought to you by Reignite Media.

Ep 150 Description:  “Pleasure is not a luxury. It is not a distraction. It is a human right. And reclaiming it—in childbirth, in healthcare, in life—is a path toward healing,  well-being, and activism.” —Debra Pascali Bonaro   Our bodies are intricate landscapes of sensation, where hormones dance, nerves communicate, and physiological responses intertwine in ways we're only beginning to understand. And these same pathways that create sexual pleasure are remarkably active during childbirth, challenging centuries of medical narratives that have reduced this transformative moment to a clinical, painful procedure.  This week, Debra discusses her landmark article, Orgasmic Birth: The Anatomy of Pleasure in Childbirth, published in Frontiers in Global Women's Health Journal, delving into the science of orgasmic birth, systemic obstetric violence, reproductive justice, hormonal landscapes of pleasure, the anatomy of childbirth, cultural narratives of pain, bodily autonomy, and the transformative potential of reclaiming women's birthing experiences. Don't miss this groundbreaking episode!

What if your birth experience could be transformed from a clinical procedure to a profound, empowering moment of connection? Imagine stepping into your birth with confidence, clarity, and the ability to shape an experience that honors your deepest desires. Tune in as Debra breaks down the essential roadmap for creating personalized birth preferences, revealing how to communicate effectively with your healthcare team, understand your provider's practices, explore holistic approaches beyond medical interventions, and ultimately reclaim your birth as a sacred, intentional experience that reflects your unique vision of bringing new life into the world.   Connect with Debra!
