They would shelter them against government agents and border patrol.A new underground railroad for Central Americans fleeing US-backed violence abroad.It quickly became a national movement. Within three years, 500 churches, synagogues, and university campuses had joined and were actively protecting Central American migrants. Good Samaritans standing for their Central American brothers and sisters.As President Donald Trump continues to attack immigrants across the United States, the history of the Sanctuary Movement is more important than ever now. This is episode 32 of Stories of Resistance — a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Dr. Christine Lee Bae and Dr. John Fife join host Dr. Jeff Greene to discuss their Educational Psychologist article, "Supporting student voice in science classrooms: The limits of psychosocial approaches and the importance of sociocultural and critical perspectives on student agency."

Reverend John Fife is the co-founder of the Sanctuary Movement which protected Central American refugees from deportation in the 1980's. He is a founding volunteer with No More Deaths, which provides humanitarian aid to migrants in the Sonoran Desert borderlands. In 1992 Fife was elected Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA). He lives in Tuscon, Arizona and is a member of the National Council of Elders. In this episode John Fife talks with Yezmin Villarreal about growing up in southwestern Pennsylvania, moving to Arizona as a young newly ordained minister for an internship on the O'odham Reservation, and falling in love with the border and the rich legacies of organizing and resistance there. John tells Yezmin how learning from African American Churches and Pastors during the Civil Rights Movement fundamentally changed everything he believed about the role and responsibility of the church in movements for social change. And he describes his role in the accidental creation of the Santcuary Movement. John also reminds us that the struggle for liberation is long haul work: "You get a lifetime, but that's never the end of the struggle and you don't change the whole world in five years. You just get a chance and opportunity to do a part of what is a long and endless struggle. And you take each day and year as a gift, and you try to do your best with the time you got."

Welcome everyone to another episode of the For Stars Podcast! Featured here on FSP is arguably one of the best youth men's rowing coaches in the game, Mr. John Fife, Head Coach for St. Joe's Prep in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Coach Fife graduated from the Prep back in 1998, where he rowed for the crew team during his four years at the school. Fife received an offer to row at the University of Pennsylvania '02, on their Men's Heavyweight Rowing team. He was then offered to Intern at Brown University under current head coach, Paul Cooke where he was there for around the span of a month, but decided to take up another offer to coach the Freshman Lightweight Men at UPenn, coaching there for four years. He spent some time coaching at Georgetown for one year, went back to the Prep for around two years. He then went to Rutgers University - Law, graduating from Law School. After coaching at the Prep for a minor stint and law school, he went to coach at Dallas Jesuit College Prep from January 2011 - August 2017. Fife decided it was time to go back to his roots, where he is now currently coaching the Hawks over at the iconic, St. Joseph's Preparatory School since the 2017 academic school year. Fife coached a plethora of the FSP family, including Connor Neill, Paddy McNamara, and the entire group on the St. Joe's Prep podcast.The thing about Coach Fife, is that his journey in the sport comes full circle, 360º to the tee, and it all revolves around Philadelphia! His rowing career started at the Prep, and he is now coaching at the program, that changed his life for the greater good, inspiring hundreds of student-athletes everyday. Coming off on winning the United States Youth National Championships in 2021, the scholastic rowing team made a lasting impact on the club rowing squads around the entire nation. The Prep Really Mean Business and there is no shadow of a doubt that they will continue to make history for eternity! He has so much love for the sport and loves coaching his athletes to be the best version of themselves. Like Coach Wallin's podcast, a Prep alum as well, we talk about his athletes and inner "WHY".... the overall journey coaching, his thoughts on Men's Rowing becoming an NCAA sport down the road, why we need to spread the news of rowing to the youth much more, along with an abundant of topics surrounding his team and goals for this season.

2022e22 - Rowers Choice Podcast - John Fife John Fife wasn't the biggest and fastest kid at The Prep, but he was consistent, always working hard, and didnt miss his opportunity when it presented itself. After being introduced to rowing at The Prep, Coach Fife went on to Penn and eventually law school at Rutgers. While at law school, Coach Fife got hooked on coaching and from there made it his career. After a successful stint at Jesuit Prep in Dallas, he is now back at his alma-mater, leading them to major wins in the last couple years. Coach Fife and Alex talk about his approach and practices leading up to some of the biggest races, as well as the importance of taking some time away to renew the drive each season.

"Climate change will be the first time we realize that nation states can't solve this problem by themselves."

In this conversation Caitlin speaks with John Fife about the opportunities and challenges faith institutions face in confronting empire, lessons from organizing in Southern Arizona and much more. The Rev. John Fife is a retired Presbyterian minister, human rights advocate and a founding patriarch of the Sanctuary Movement. Between 1982-92, some 15,000 Central Americans came through his church, Southside Presbyterian Church in Tucson, Ariz., seeking safe harbor or assistance after fleeing civil war and death squads in their home countries.

Sudden death in young people is rare, but Matthew Thomas and Matthew Wolf say that through early detection of inherited heart conditions, better precautions can be taken. And: Depression affects almost 15 million American adults, yet doctors still don’t know much about how it works. Researcher Pearl Chiu says that it may be possible to make a personalized diagnosis of depression through brain imaging. Plus: Lisa Ellison's brother was plagued with mental health issues until age 20, when he committed an awful crime and then took his own life. Lisa graduated from the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at James Madison University and is now an advocate for suicide prevention and mental health support. Later in the show: HIV infections are rising among a surprising segment of the population--African Americans over the age of 50. John Fife is working to combat this disturbing trend. And: Millions of people in developing countries go blind due to cataracts because there aren’t enough surgeons trained in the five-minute procedure to remove them. Glenn Strauss is designing a simulator that will train 30,000 who could give millions the life-changing operation.

Scott Douglas, III, is the Executive Director of Greater Birmingham Ministries, an interfaith organization in Birmingham, Alabama. GBM provides poverty relief, lobbies to reform Alabama's state constitution, and has recently been active in opposing self-deportation laws. My conversation with Scott is a powerful reminder that status quo ideas vary deeply based on location and that equality—or equity, as Scott prefers—remains just as cutting-edge of an idea today as it did fifty years ago. Like Roberta Francis, Henry Louis Taylor, and Carolyn Raffensperger, Scott takes us into the legal structures undergirding our society to find discriminatory systems that are felt more often than seen. History plays a major role in this episode and Scott offers a great account of how people perceive historical moments in the present and in retrospect. You'll hear strong connections with Chuck Collins and Mark Mykleby about wealth and security. Elsewhere, listen for a John Fife-style spiritual critique of the individualism prized by thinkers like Oliver Porter, Richard Saul Wurman, and David Miller.

Roberta Francis has been advocating for the Equal Rights Amendment for over thirty years, chairs the ERA Taskforce for the National Council of Women's Organizations and administers equalrightsamendment.org. She has also been active with the New Jersey League of Women Voters. There's something ridiculous about needing to include the ERA in a project about the future—why didn't we take care of this ninety years ago? If the ERA reminds us of anything, it's that old ideas can remain new and common sense can be remarkably controversial. I will revisit this theme in my upcoming conversation with Scott Douglas of Greater Birmingham Ministries. Roberta and I talk about what the ERA is, why it failed, and why it's still necessary to a population that, largely, believes it already passed. We conclude by talking about the tension between individual and collective good, the role of government, and compromise. You will hear echos of Peter Warren, Lawrence Torcello and, in the last coda, John Fife.

From The Conversation's inception, geoengineering—the deliberate manipulation of the climate through technology—has been high on my list of subjects to include in the series. To address the issue, I spoke with David Keith, a Harvard professor with a joint appointment in Applied Physics and Public Policy. David has spent the better part of two decades researching climate science and geoengineering, was named a Hero of the Environment by TIME in 2009, and is also the President of Carbon Engineering, a startup dedicated to reducing atmospheric CO2. He is also publicly visible, having testified before the US Congress, spoken at TED, and appeared on numerous television and radio programs in an effort to spark a broader conversation about geoengineering. During these appearances, David steps refreshingly beyond science and into the thorny moral and philosophical questions raised by geoengineering—and that is exactly why I invited him to join The Conversation. David's conversation starts with a tiny parcel of information about geoengineering but, within minutes, we're into questions of value. If you've been listening to The Conversation for a while this will feel like we skipped over the usual foundation of information I try to build at the beginning of each episode, so you may actually want to skim the Wikipedia link up top. That out of the way, we return to the anthropocentrism/biocentrism theme that characterized many earlier episodes from John Zerzan to Robert Zubrin. Echoing Carolyn Raffensperger, utilitarian philosophy finds itself in the line of fire again as David argues that utilitarianism is insufficient to justify meaningful environmental preservation. At one point, Wes Jackson (explicitly) and Douglas Rushkoff (implicitly) come up in conversation as we discuss what is knowable and, conflating Jackson and Zerzan, David smacks down Zerzan's neoprimitivism. This list could stretch for pages, but let's conclude here with a connection between David and John Fife, both of whom see the obsolescence of the nation state, though for very different reasons.
