Today's show is about international solidarity, and especially the kind that you build up when you travel to other countries and meet workers involved in struggle. My guest today is Clive Tillman, who attended the International Solidarity Affairs in Manila in the Philippines, that was organised by the militant labour group, the Kilusang Mayo Uno. Plus, some union news!

Leslie is joined by Kevin Mapp, the USW's International Vice President of Human Affairs.  Kevin coordinates bargaining in the union's health care, containers, public sector and ship building sectors. The pair discuss the power of international solidarity in four parts. Part 1: Global Solidarity and Corporate Greed Multinational corporations operate globally, oftentimes attempting to pit workers in different countries against each other in a race to the bottom on wages and working conditions. Unionized workers, however, understand that the only answer to large-scale corporate greed is global solidarity.     - The USW works with global labor federations like IndustriALL and UNI so that they can share information about operations in different countries.     - The USW maintains formal strategic alliances with at least six other unions in Australia, Mexico, Germany, Brazil, and the United Kingdom.     - The USW also maintains relationships with unions in a number of other countries as they work to ensure that workers have a place to succeed in the global economy. All of these relationships are premised on the simple truth that workers the world over confront many of the same challenges, and their greatest strength is solidarity. Part 2: Urgency in Liberia and Bridgestone's Operations Nowhere has this been more urgent than in Liberia, where workers on Bridgestone's massive rubber plantation have been struggling for decades to improve their working conditions. Japanese-owned Bridgestone is one of the world's largest tire and rubber manufacturers. It employs more than 125,000 workers worldwide, including approximately 4,000 members of the USW. Unions in Japan, South Africa, Europe, and Brazil also represent Bridgestone workers. In Harbel, Liberia, Bridgestone operates the world's largest contiguous rubber plantation, covering some 185 square miles. It's owned by Bridgestone subsidiary, Firestone Liberia, and approximately 7,000 workers reside there with their families.     - These workers both live and work on the plantation, buying food from the company store and sending their children to schools run by the company.     - The work is difficult, slashing bush, tapping trees, draining latex into metal buckets that weigh 65 pounds each when full, and carrying them long distances to weigh stations.     - This latex then goes straight into the North American supply chain, serving as the starting point for American-made tires. Part 3: Unionization and Challenges at Firestone Liberia In 1990, Terry Renninger, then president of Bridgestone's Liberia operations, said, “The best way to think of it is as an old Southern plantation.” Indeed, in the years leading up to the formation of their union, the Firestone Agricultural Workers Union of Liberia (FAWUL), workers endured what a 2005 human rights lawsuit called “forced labor, the modern equivalent of slavery.” In 2007, workers successfully organized, and since then they've been making incremental progress in improving working conditions on the plantation, though serious problems remain regarding wages, health care, housing, workplace safety, and more. On top of this, in 2019, Bridgestone fired more than 2,000 workers, forcing them instead to work for contractors, doing the same work but earning significantly lower wages without benefits or other protections provided by FAWUL's contract. According to the U.S.-based Solidarity Center:     - One of the big benefits they lost was the education promised to their children, who now must walk long distances through difficult terrain to attend classes in open-air classrooms without desks or other supplies.     - Workers struggle to afford protective glasses, boots, or gloves.     - Living conditions are cramped, and payment for food comes out of workers' paychecks, which can sometimes leave them with zero or negative balances on their pay slips. Part 4: Current Efforts and Hope for the Future Since then, these workers have pushed back, with the support of unions like the USW, as well as the Solidarity Center and others.     - On Aug. 31, 2024, contractors voted overwhelmingly to unionize and are attempting to rejoin FAWUL.     - FAWUL is currently in negotiations with Bridgestone, and one of the key issues is the fate of contractors. The USW has been proud to provide strategic and bargaining support, but the true strength comes from workers themselves who have shown they're willing to take action. The outcome of these negotiations is still not certain, but it's clear that workers – across the world – are strongest when they're united. Kevin Mapp also serves as a trustee on the USW Health and Welfare Fund, is an advisory board member to the Institute for Career Development, and a member of the Board of Directors for the Michigan AFL-CIO Labor Foundation. He is a graduate of the Harvard Trade Union Program and the Cornell National Labor Leadership Initiative.A committed activist, Kevin also serves on the boards of both the metro-Detroit and national A. Philip Randolph Institutes (APRI), where he works to promote social and economic justice, voting rights and community education.

Internationally, there is often a large gap in the resources between countries. The Catechism explains the justice and solidarity that should exist among all nations, rich and poor. Rich nations have a duty of solidarity, charity, and justice to support nations who are unable to fully ensure their own development. Fr. Mike emphasizes that direct aid is not all the Church advocates for, but that we also have a duty to help reform these nations. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2437-2442. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Youngah Lee of People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy (PSPD) joins the podcast to discuss the progressive civil society group's advocacy for inter-Korean peace and restarting dialogue between Seoul and Pyongyang. The activist explains why she believes establishing a “peace regime” on the peninsula is the first step toward reunification and why the return of wartime operational control of South Korean troops from Washington to Seoul is fundamental to this goal.  She also shares the PSPD's stance on why the presence of U.S. troops on the Korean Peninsula may be hindering inter-Korean relations and the signing of a peace treaty.  Youngah Lee is the manager at the Center for Peace and Disarmament and the Center for International Solidarity at the South Korean civil society group People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy.

This is a special solo cast where every Thursday I speak from the heart about a topic that I and we can all learn from that is both timeless and timely when it comes to our own journey of a life well lived. If you're brand new to the podcast, this may or may not be a perfect place for you to start. On Thursdays, I share an additional bonus episode, either with myself or myself being interviewed that I believe is of true value to one or all of the five sides of what we here at the Wellness + Wisdom podcast call the Wellness Pentagon... These are the five sides of the house we live in - they make up the quality of our life, so starting at the floor with our physical, then moving to the walls of our mental and emotional, and building the roof of our spiritual and financial within ourselves so that essentially we can show up and love our life and love others. I've definitely learned by becoming a father and producing this podcast in almost 10 years and with over 600 episodes that the true embodiment of intelligence only comes with time, compassion, and the work of integration. This is the only way I know it occurs and this is a topic that deserves exploration today. Specifically our spiritual development side of the Wellness Pentagon, now I am not a political activist. I do not choose a side. I am neither Democrat nor Republican so none of this that you were going to hear today on the podcast has anything to do with my political opinion, I'm simply a witness as you are of the shadow of humanity that is playing out right now with Palestine and Israel. Again, I want to remind you that this is not my opinion of which side is right or which side needs more resources, that is not important, what is important is that we all learn individually, and as a collective, as to why war exists specifically wars about religion or politics, which essentially always happen from a place of greed or control or power. The Intention of This Solocast My intention with this is to explore my own personal, and our collective wounding around the shadow of humanity that allows war to continue in the first place so let's begin. War is such a challenging thing, because it is found as a natural organic unfolding process in nature when we see bears at war or animals at war, or a shark eating a seal. Although grotesque and horrific beyond what many can tolerate, war is a continuation of modernity's shadow expression of greed, power, and control. War, in essence, has been called a continuation of politics by other means. In the heart of the Middle East, amidst the complex tapestry of history and conflict, lies a region that has become synonymous with strife and struggle - Palestine and Israel. For decades, these two entities have been entwined in a bitter and seemingly intractable dispute, leaving scars that run deep. However, beneath the surface of geopolitical tensions and historical grievances, there emerge profound lessons in self-love and self-healing that resonate not only within the borders of these nations but reverberate across the collective consciousness of humanity. Understanding the Context The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a mosaic of historical complexities, territorial disputes, and clashing national identities. Rooted in a history that spans centuries, the struggle for land and recognition has given rise to a cycle of violence that has left both Palestinians and Israelis grappling with the weight of their shared past. Yet, within this crucible of conflict, there lies an opportunity for self-reflection and growth, individually and collectively. Self-Love Amidst Adversity One of the most poignant lessons that emanate from the heart of this conflict is the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Palestinians, despite enduring decades of displacement and hardship, are exemplifying a self-determined and profound form of self-love. In the persistent pursuit of justice and recognition, they find strength within themselves, cultivating a deep-seated belief in the validity of their existence and the right to self-determination. Similarly, Israelis navigating a complex socio-political landscape marked by constant security concerns and historical trauma must confront their own journey towards self-love. The recognition of the need for security is intertwined with the acknowledgment that true peace is born out of understanding and empathy, both for oneself and the "other." The Power of Forgiveness In the quest for self-healing, forgiveness becomes a powerful tool for individuals and nations alike. The wounds inflicted by decades of conflict can only begin to heal when both Palestinians and Israelis acknowledge the pain of the past and extend empathy to one another. The olive branch must be extended, and I am not here to say that I know how it would be especially if I was a family member, who lost a brother, sister, mother, father, daughter, son, grandparent, or close relative. I can't even begin to imagine what that might feel like, and that deserves a deep breath and the deepest depth of compassion. The ability to forgive, while not forgetting, is an act of self-love that liberates individuals from the shackles of hatred and resentment. While this journey towards forgiveness is fraught with challenges, it offers an invaluable lesson for humanity at large. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict teaches us that the path to healing begins with acknowledging our own wounds and finding the strength to let go of the burden of hatred. What is happening right now in the Middle East deserves a global deep breath and there are really no words that I can say to assuage the pain that both sides are feeling and experiencing with levels of loss that most people cannot even comprehend or contend with here in North America for the most part. But it is the truth that the only way out is through what I believe is really happening right now in the Middle East, and really anywhere where there is bloodshed and children being killed, and families being separated, is the darkest part of our collective shadow that we are not willing to take an honest look at. The Darkest Part of our Shadow That dark part of our Shadow is the thing that makes me control, others, where I don't feel safe and myself, so I project that lack of safety onto other people, and then I start telling myself a story that the only way I can be safe is if I attack the person who I perceive may attack me. And so on and so forth, you can see how the spiral feeds itself how war leads to more war which leads to war, and the only way out is through. I remember we were talking about this on multiple podcasts, but one of them hit me the hardest when I was speaking with Scott Jackson in episode number 481 which you can find by going over to JoshTrent.com/481, where we were discussing neural linguistic programming, and this critical factor, which is essentially the barrier between our conscious and unconscious integration of self. It made me reflect on so many times in my life when I have harmed others, even when I didn't want to or when I was young, and I had a lack of awareness around my behaviors, which is essentially a microcosm that is playing out in a microcosm of this conflict in the Middle East, and also conflict across the planet. One thing I was reminded of by this podcast was how young we are as humanity. When you look at how old the world is and how old animals and different species are that have lived here on the planet. Humanity's Maturation We are essentially a teenager, young teenager, who is finding their way of love and fear of scarcity and abundance of dark and light, and although painful this is all designed by the creator, otherwise, it would not be happening, and that is the meaning that I rest upon. This meaning of mystery is that we don't know why the creator allows these things to occur, but we know that a part of ourselves is maturing, and it happens through thousands of generations just like it always has and always will. So I can take solace in the fact that you and I are here in this compensation hearts connected from this podcast that I know will ripple out to the hearts and minds of people who need to hear this most. But honestly what we need now is a different conversation of our micro behaviors because over time. Those micro behaviors are the very thing that will unravel the gauntlet of war. It may not seem like that now, especially if you look at the history of all of the world wars we've had, and all of the conflicts on the planet but what I know to be true is that within myself there is a tyrant, a general, a king, a lover, a magician, a warrior, and all the things, and it is only where I place my attention, that archetype grows within me. Where Do We Go From Here? So what does all this truly mean, what is the solution to this war, and the death, and tragedy, and trauma that is happening in the Middle East? I believe it is an awakening, an awakening of consciousness, and an awakening of a deeper awareness of self, and it is coming through violence and bloodshed, which, although incredibly sad beyond words, is playing out in the mysterious unfolding of life here on planet Earth. So the solution right now is that there is no solution other than the behaviors that we take in every single city that we live in with every moment of our lives with our children with our brothers and sisters, with the food that we eat the water that we drink the products that we buy the things that we believe in shape the reality of our lives, literally, and figuratively. What we need now is to start building schools and homes and families that return to a conservative nature and abide by and respect the laws of nature. The source of so many of these wars is a fear that you believe something different than I believe, specifically, when it comes to religion. Holy wars and religious wars are so ironically blind to themselves into their motivations for war in the first place. Because if you look at any religious text whether it's from China Israel Palestine, or even the depths of the Bible and Christianity at the core foundational teachings there is love acceptance and compassion. So how ironic is it that in any holy war where people are being killed because they do not believe what the other side believes, that they themselves have forgotten the very core foundation of their own religions, and that is, God is love. Building Bridges To The WE The physical and metaphorical walls that have been erected between Israelis and Palestinians symbolize the deep-seated divisions that exist within their societies. Yet, the very existence of these barriers serves as a stark reminder of the need to dismantle the walls within ourselves. The journey towards self-love and self-healing requires breaking down the walls of prejudice, bias, and fear that inhibits our ability to connect with others on a fundamental human level. As Palestinians and Israelis seek to build bridges of understanding, it prompts a global audience to reflect on their own internal barriers. The notion that true peace is achieved not through separation but through connection is a profound lesson that transcends borders. International Solidarity and Collective Healing The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not isolated from the broader context of global politics and human rights. In supporting the quest for justice and peace in the region, the international community participates in a collective act of self-love—a recognition that our fates are intertwined, and the healing of one part of the world contributes to the healing of the whole. The Crucible of Humanities Healing Palestine and Israel serve as a crucible of humanity's capacity for both darkness and light. The lessons in self-love and self-healing that emerge from this tumultuous region resonate with a universal call for introspection and transformation. As Palestinians and Israelis navigate the arduous path towards reconciliation, they provide humanity with a mirror through which we can examine our own prejudices, fears, and capacity for forgiveness. In embracing the profound lessons offered by this enduring conflict, we, as a global community, can move towards a future built on empathy, understanding, and the collective healing of wounds that transcend borders. The journey towards self-love and self-healing is, ultimately, a shared odyssey that unites us in our common humanity. I really hope this podcast allows your heart to expand and your mind to see things in a different way through a new set of eyes. As I said, this is not a political podcast, and I am not here to choose sides, my goal and intention with this episode is simply to give, a resounding call to myself, and all of us to heal the tyrant inside of us and the warmonger inside of us the one that controls by domination and power when we know if we've done any spiritual work, that true power only comes from peace. War of Self: The Journey Towards Forgiveness Because the power that comes from peace can be trusted and power that is taken by force never can be trusted because down the road one day that power will eventually be taken back by the people it was taken from because that power did not come from peace. So the way forward is, through the darkness, through this shadow of humanity through this incredibly what feels like insane time, the only way out is through so my wish is that all of us do our deep, spiritual work starting with ourselves our friends our families are community. Our cities are country, and that is what will shift the tide. Maybe in our lifetime maybe not but everything that we do now ripples forward to our children who will teach their children and eventually I do believe that a beautiful world we all know is possible that still has challenges but that has much less bloodshed is absolutely possible, and it starts in our hearts today with this conversation. You are loved you are supported, and you are on the right path. Even at times when it seems like, you are not, you are, and the deeper you can choose to connect with God, or higher power, or the universe, or whatever nomenclature you like to put on the very thing that created you, the very thing that when you hold your children or you hug your friends, or you put your hand on your own heart that feeling of love you have that awareness of love, that is God and God is love, and God has a plan for all of and so let us meditate or pray or just take space right now for a deep breath, and a moment for all the loss and the tragedy in the Middle East, and know that we can begin the healing here many many miles away in our own hearts by asking ourselves this powerful question: God, what do I need to learn and how can I be most humble to learn it? From that question, we start to unravel the war in ourselves, and eventually over time with compassion, and effort, and love, and showing day after day, I do trust in my heart that the war will unravel when we choose to turn and look inside of ourselves. That is my wish for both of us, for all of us, so take that with you as you're going into your life and make sure that you enjoy this podcast. You share it with somebody that you care about who may be struggling with some of these concepts and if you're looking for a deeper spiritual practice, it begins with the way that you breathe.

Jessica shares how organizing around issues in the Philippines helped her to reconnect with her identity as a Filipina in the diaspora, discusses how her recent learning tour to the Philippines has helped fuel her desire to continue in the fight, and invites our listeners to lean into curiosity so that we can recognize that we need each other in the long haul fight for justice.

On this edition of Free City Radio, a conversation with documentary filmmaker Malcolm Guy who speaks on possibilities of international solidarity at a time of major global conflict between Russia and the United States. This conversation explores how to build points of active unity within left networks globally in order to express solidarity with peoples around the world who are facing militarization and violence, including in Ukraine. This interview is an attempt to explore some difficult points that face progressive networks globally today as major points of division remain as it comes to addressing the war in Ukraine. This interview is not about clear answers, but is about trying to have a conversation around this difficult point.

Uncomfortable talks about war. From the producers: “This podcast presents conversations with anarchists from across Europe about the war in Ukraine. We will discuss uncomfortable issues of unreflected coloniality, imperialist sentiments, lack of solidarity in the international anarchist movement, as well as the weakness of anarchist theory and practice in the face of the war.” Telegram: https://t.me/ostanovivagonyy Podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bel-anarchist Announcements South Florida Anti-Repression Committee Launches Solidarity Campaign In an unprecedented use of the FACE Act (a law intended to protect abortion access and abortion clinics), two pro-choice community activists in Florida have been charged under the FACE Act. In addition to the two charged, community members across Florida have been the target of FBI harassment that has included showing up at people's places of employment, approaching family members, and even executing a “No Knock Warrant,” with armed agents raiding the home of a family with children in the home. The FACE Act has been used to prosecute individuals who murdered abortion providers, physically threatened or attacked those seeking reproductive healthcare, barricaded abortion clinic entrances, and other anti-choice actions that have served to limit lawful access to abortion and other reproductive health care. Prosecuting two community activists for alleged graffiti is a shameful and disgusting use of the law.  In response, community members have formed the South Florida Anti-Repression Committee (SFLARC) and are launching a solidarity campaign and defense fundraiser. The funds raised will go to support those facing state repression, both those charged and those who experience harassment by law enforcement.

Perhaps the most important critique of modern international law has been the charge that it is a Eurocentric regime, which has helped to erect and defend a world of deep injustice characterized by violence, exploitation, and inequality.To reorient the discussion on international law, this episode of The Looking Glass explores International Law and the Global South with Professor Obiora Chinedu Okafor. Professor Okafor is the Edward B. Burling Chair in International Law and Institutions at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). Professor Okafor has served, since August 2017, as the UN Independent Expert on Human Rights and International Solidarity (one of the principal groups of human rights experts who advise and report annually to the UN Human Rights Council and General Assembly) and a former Chairperson of the United Nations Human Rights Council Advisory Committee (a Geneva-based committee of experts elected by the Human Rights Council to serve as its think tank and principal subsidiary organ).This episode was produced by Kosi Ogbuli.Articles/ Reports referenced: Re-defining legitimate statehood: international law and state fragmentation in Africa The third world and international order: Law, politics and globalization Poverty, agency and resistance in the future of international law: An African perspectiveRemember to leave 5-stars and share with a friend!

In today's episode, we will be talking to Poupeh Missaghi and Berfîn Marx. Poupeh Missaghi is an assistant professor in the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at the University of Denver and the author of Trans(re)lating House One. Berfîn Marx is a freelance journalist who is currently a student at the University of Denver. The ongoing revolution happening in Iran has been noticeably absent within western media. On September 13th, 2022, Mahsa Amini or Jina Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman, was arrested by morality police in Tehran for allegedly violating Iran's strict rules requiring women to cover their hair with a hijab or headscarf. There were reports that officers beat her head with a baton. The police said she suffered a heart attack. The first protests took place after Amini's funeral in the western city of Saqqez, when women ripped off their headscarves in solidarity. Since then, the protests have swelled, with demands for more freedoms and the end to the dictatorship. In this dialogue, we will discuss the ongoing revolution in Iran, storytelling, and international solidarity.

For the past 4 years, the Haitian people have continuously mobilized in protest against inhumane living standards, rapid inflation and skyrocketing fuel prices, and most recently, rejecting calls for foreign intervention and demanding the resignation of U.S.-backed Prime Minister Ariel Henry. As significant sectors of the US media and foreign policy elite prepare the ground for further intervention, we ask, what would military intervention mean for the Haitian people?  What has led to the protracted crisis we are witnessing today? What does the Haitian fight for sovereignty look like, and what do the people demand? Listen to this conversation with historian Vijay Prashad, Haitian-American professor and activist Mamyrah Prosper and on-the-ground journalist Jackson Jean as they give us insight into the reality of the crisis in Haiti and the state of the people's struggle.

WORT 89.9FM Madison · International Solidarity In Action For thirty years, the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, or UE, and the Frente Auténtico de Trabajo, or FAT, […] The post International Solidarity in Action appeared first on WORT-FM 89.9.

As reported in the IOM Interim report - The International Observer Mission, sponsored by the ICHRP, found that the May 9 Philippine National Elections were marred by a higher level of failure of the electronic voting systems than ever before, along with a higher level of blatant vote-buying, disturbing levels of red-tagging and a number of incidents of violence. According to the IOM report, the election did not meet the standard of “free and fair” because of voters having restricted access to reliable information, access to the voting places without intimidation, and a credible vote counting system. The results gave the Marcos-Duterte team a massive victory that has been met with widespread skepticism and a growing protest. Violations against the people of the Philippines include political killings, shootings, abductions, death threats, political arrests, harassment and surveillance of candidates and supporters, very large-scale red tagging, widespread vote-buying, media manipulation and repression, fake news and harassment of journalists by the Marcos campaign. ____ Today we have the National Coordinator of ICHRP, Drew Miller, and ICHRP members Laila Macfoy and Mack Miller.

On today's episode, we are joined by Claudia de la Cruz of the People's Forum in New York City to discuss developments around President Biden's Summit of the Americas.Scheduled for June 6-10 in Los Angeles, the legitimacy of the gathering and the role of the U.S. in Central & South American is being severely threatened by announcements from Mexico, Bolivia, Honduras and Antigua and Barbuda that they will not attend if the governments of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua are not invited.Claudia gives us a history of the Summit of the Americas, and discusses the People's Summit for Democracy, a grassroots event happening at the same time in Los Angeles, where people from across the Americas will come together for three days of art, music, speakers, debates, workshops, panel discussions, performances and mobilizations to uplift the voices of the people. The U.S. government is going as far as refusing visas to a 23-person delegation from Cuban civil society, including artists and academics, preventing them from participating.We also discuss the dissolution of the short-lived Disinformation Governance Board of the Department of Homeland Security, following up on our story from last week. And, as Biden threatens China over Taiwan, is it really a gaffe? We review a brief history of U.S.-China relations and the real threat a war would pose to humanity and the world. Finally, we expose the New York Times' recent multi-part series on Haiti, which serves U.S. interests not fully ignoring the recent crimes of the Clintons and others against the country.To sign the petition demanding the Biden administration approve the visas, go to https://www.change.org/p/let-them-in-stop-the-exclusion-of-cuban-artists-academics. Support the show

International solidarity is not a new notion for me as an activist and as a person who identifies as a global citizen. I ve had a long interest in how we identify what self determination and governance means to us. I m curious about how people use or misuse power in the name of a government or in the name of the people . I want to see a world where people have the right to choose how they are governed and how they are able to Because of this, I traveled to the Philippines and spent time in Manila (the capitol) and Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanoa to get a historical perspective on the importance of this years (2022) presidential election and beyond. During this episode you will hear from education leaders, government leaders, and others who have witnessed the changes and often tumultuous social and political changes. These brave leaders will discuss their country and how the U.S. imperial relationship impacts the livelihood of people in the Philippines. Stay with us for the next hour and learn about the relationship between the U.S. and the Philippines, tap into the importance of the May 9th election, and what the results may mean for the people of the Philippines. I m your host, Dr Crystallee Crain and this is US on Transformation Talk Radio.
