Today on Sojourner Truth: We bring you a special on the interrelationship between economic and environmental justice in the time of COVID-19. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization officially declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Since then, we've seen vulnerable communities around the world " both in the Global North and the Global South " suffer the most. There have been over 329,000 reported deaths and at least 5 million reported cases, according to The Washington Post. Most of those impacted have been poor people, elderly people, communities of color and people who live in polluted and environmentally-devastated areas. Before COVID-19 began wreaking havoc on the world, the effects of environmental devastation and poverty meant that billions of people were already experiencing untold hardships. Now, as the pandemic impacts all corners of the planet, it has become more obvious that those who are most vulnerable bear the heaviest burden. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed and reinforced the cruelty of our current system, which is pushing billions of people into poverty and is destroying Mother Earth as we speak. In light of this, there are growing demands from grassroots movements around the world for a systemic change. Among these demands are the call for a Global Green New Deal, which its proponents say will move us from crisis to justice for people and the planet. In the coming weeks, groups like The Leap and The War on Want will be launching a call to action for a Global Green New Deal. Their three core demands are: 1) End global inequality by uplifting workers rights, 2) Reclaim and redistribute the global commons, 3) Rebuild global finance and trade regimes. Today, you will hear audio from a recent webinar titled, A Global Green New Deal: Into the Portal, Leave No one Behind. The webinar, hosted by Haymarket Books, featured discussions by Arundhati Roy and Naomi Klein. Arundhati Roy is an Indian author best known for her novel The God of Small Things, published in 1997, which won the Man Booker Prize for Fiction. She is also a political activist involved in human rights and environmental causes. She recently published an article titled, The Pandemic Is a Portal, in which she discusses how COVID-19 threatens the world and what we should do next. Naomi Klein is a Canadian author, social activist, filmmaker and professor. She is best known for her books No Logo (1999), The Shock Doctrine (2007) and This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate (2014). The conversation, moderated by Asad Rehman, focused on how we move from crisis to justice and build a Global Green New Deal.

The Bangkok Podcast | Conversations on Life in Thailand's Buzzing Capital
RSVP to the big I Love Podcasting In Bangkok meetup #2 on Nov 29th! We’re working hard on the special gifts that supporters at the Gift Box level are going to receive… and they are hand-made pieces of awesome. Yeah, we’re teasing a bit, but these are going to be quite cool mementos and tokens of our appreciation. (If you want one, get signed up!) This topic stems from a discussion the two of us were having while we were stuck in the back of an Uber on the way to find our Patreon gifts, and that discussion was: How much does living overseas change you as a person? Evo’s lived deep in the "travel blogger" world where there the transformative power of travel is common theme, and that if you take a 6-month sabbatical, gap year, or whatever... you'll come back a changed person. But from his perspective, it's all crap. Greg experience is quite difference, having personally been transformed by one fateful trip to Thailand (oddly enough.) And more recently, he’s noticing just how divergent his views are from those of his lifelong friends who never left their hometown. Not sure where you stand on the issue? Do you think living overseas really does change you? Or does living overseas appeal to a certain type of person that doesn’t need to be changed? Listen in and see which one of us you side with at the end. (And yes, we’re still friends!) Love, Loathe, or Leave No one likes cars that double-park. But on Bangkok’s BTS, you’ll see people “double parked”, trying to squeeze on before… well, us! And that doesn’t make us very happy, which sort of spoils this segment for you as we both LOATHE it! Except for one of us at one specific We Love Our Supporters! Especially Mos Miner. He’s one of our favorite patrons, and today you’ll hear about his odd connection to a harbor town far, far away. It’s a story that is quite literally out of this world. You should thank Mos and dozens of other people who help keep the show free of annoying by supporting us on Patreon. Mos and others also get exclusive bonus content, like the full episode about the unreliability of Thai Post and tearing down buildings because a street is too narrow. You aren’t getting the full Bangkok Podcast experience unless you become a patron, so… do it? Want More Bangkok Podcast In Your Life? If it’s your first time experiencing The Bangkok Podcast, you really should get our show downloading to your phone automatically every week. If you use iOS, it’s a breeze to listen via Apple Podcasts. Android users are be able get the show any number of ways. And for bonus points, leave us a review on those platforms or however you listen to the show. We’d love to hear from you! You can add our official LINE account, comment on a post or send us a message via our Facebook page, tweet to us @bangkokpodcast, or simply via the contact form on our website. You may also be interested in Greg’s tweets of snarky Bangkok goodness, and you can see way too much of Evo’s face on Instagram. If you’re really new, the Bangkok Podcast is co-hosted by Greg Jorgensen and Evo Terra. Together the have over 20 years expat experience in Bangkok, and are self-certified experts in living in the City of Angels. (Not Los Angeles. Thailand, silly!)
