This episode, which is co-hosted with Mika Thornburg, features a conversation with Dr. Chrissy Yee Lau, the author of the newly published New Women of Empire: Gendered Politics and Racial Uplift in Interwar Japanese America (U Washington Press, 2022). The book centers the compelling life histories of five young women and men in Los Angeles to illuminate how they negotiated overlapping imperialisms through new gender roles. With extensive youth networks and the largest Japanese population in the United States, Los Angeles was a critical site of transnational relations, and in the 1920s and '30s Japanese American youth became politicized through active participation in Christian civic organizations. By racially uplifting their peers through youth clubs, athletics, and cultural ambassadorship, these young leaders reshaped Japanese and US imperialisms and provided the groundwork for future expressions of model minority respectability and Japanese American feminisms. Dr. Lau is an assistant professor of Asian American Studies at San Francisco State University. Her research and teaching interests include Asian American History, U.S. Women's History, California History, and Public History. She is also co-editor of The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care, and Racial Justice. Donna Doan Anderson (she/her) is a PhD candidate in History and Asian American Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's show, we'll revisit the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic by looking at two alternative supply chains for masks during the fallout from the Trump administration's failure to prepare. We'll be speaking with the ProPublica reporter David McSwane about his book Pandemic, Inc.: Chasing the Capitalists and Thieves Who Got Rich While We Got Sick. The book details the shadowy supply chain of brokers looking to profit from the pandemic – to the tune of millions of dollars. We'll also hear from Mai-Linh Hong, co-editor and co-author of The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care, and Racial Justice, about a mutual aid organization that created a different supply chain for homemade masks based on community, care and connection over profit.  Like this program?

You don't often get to dig deep into your friends' interior experiences and philosophies, but that's what I'm doing today. My friend Sophie is possibly the most resourceful and creative person I've met. In Ep. #35 we heard about her fascinating journey with Mask Makers UK during the pandemic. In this one (Ep. #60), Sophie traces the sources of her inventive and self-sufficient nature to her experiences of feminism, community and family growing up on the West Coast of Canada. Sophie also shares how she uses art to celebrate female culture and to explore her identity via the visual and textile traditions of her mixed heritage. Support the podcast over on Patreon!

Shortly after the COVID pandemic reached the UK in early 2020, artist and maker Sophie Passmore responded to the craziness and confusion by founding the Mask Makers UK community. This Facebook group became an important hub providing information, assistance and support to thousands of voluntary mask makers. More than two years later, Sophie is still keeping abreast with developments in mask-related science, advice and design progression and sharing it all for those who want and need it. Mask masking and the community Sophie brought together have evolved tremendously over that time. In this episode (Ep. #35) she tells me all about it: the highs, the lows, her motivations and the time she appeared live on Breakfast TV showing the nation how to make a mask from a T-shirt!

“Had the government stepped in and done its job, had they not advocated against vaccines and mask mandates, we wouldn't have been frantically gathering our children to cut up bedsheets to make masks for medical workers and everyone else.” That's Kristina Wong, performance artist, comedian, and writer. This week, Wong tells the story of how she created a network of “aunties,” who were primarily Asian American, in a mutual aid project that ended up making and distributing over 500 thousand masks during the first year of the pandemic. In winter 2021, she opened Kristina Wong, Sweatshop Overlord, which played to sold-out audiences at the New York Theatre Workshop. Now Wong, legendary writer Rebecca Solnit, and several other members of The Auntie Sewing Squad have co-authored a book: The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care, and Racial Justice. Here to discuss the show, the book, the phenomenon of mutual aid in times of disaster, and how racial justice and feminism underlie it all are Aunties Kristina Wong and Rebecca Solnit. A regular contributor to the Guardian, Solnit is the author of Hope in the Dark from Haymarket Books, among twenty other publications.  GuestsRebecca Solnit, Author, Historan, ActivistKristina Wong, Performance Artist, Comedian & Writer, Sweatshop Overlord  Support the show by becoming a member as a monthly supporter at Patreon.com/theLFShow  We do not accept corporate or government funding.  We rely on you!  Full Episode Notes are posted at Patreon.com/theLFShow for members and non-members.

Biden's signature social programs are not going to pass before the New Year, and maybe not at all, because of Joe Manchin's obstructionism: Harold Meyerson reports. Also: some good news on unions, especially at the University of California. Later in the show, how climate change will transform the coming face-off between the US and China – historian Alfred McCoy says China will be the world's number one military & economic power by 2030 but Chinese domination will last for only 20 years, because rising temperatures and rising sea levels will bring crisis and disaster to China's economy—and to ours as well. His new book is 'To Govern the Globe: World Orders and Catastrophic Change.' Also: Mutual aid and racial justice during the year of Covid: Kristina Wong explains how, in the darkest days of the pandemic, she started the Auntie Sewing Squad to make masks for the most vulnerable communities—and how she became, in her words, a sweatshop overlord. Her new co-edited book is 'The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care, and Racial Justice.'

How will global warming change the world's systems of power? Alfred McCoy argues that American global hegemony will end around 2030, replaced by China as world leader, but Chinese hegemony will last only for about 20 years—and that by 2050, climate change will have brought environmental catastrophe to both countries, and the rest of the world, with consequences that are almost unimaginable.

Koreatown performance artist Kristina Wong suddenly had no work when the pandemic began, so she started creating face masks. Soon her so-called “Auntie Sewing Squad” included people nationwide, making masks for hospital workers, migrant workers, and more. Now eight times a week onstage in New York City, Wong recounts how she sparked a mini-movement at her red Hello Kitty sewing machine in Koreatown. Instagram's “The Hood Foodie” shares his journey through sobriety and why reviewing mom-and-pop restaurants helped give him purpose. And the latest U.S. Census numbers have prompted redistricting processes all over the country, including in LA County.

On today's episode, Jasmine Clark, Amanda Weinstein and guest host Beverly Batte unpack last week's election. We had some big disappointments in statewide races (looking at you, Virginia!) but there are so many victories to celebrate on the local level. So many progressive women won their races for school board and a big reason why is that they didn't shy away from discussing right-wing issues like CRT. Instead they listened, they came up with thoughtful responses that incorporated their personal values as moms, and they won their elections.And speaking of CRT, we want to bang the drum yet again for Heather McGhee's incredible book The Sum Of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone And How We Can Prosper Together. If the right wing thinks that “CRT” means anything that involves thinking critically about race, like teaching Heather's book, then sign us up!Losses like what we experienced in Virginia can be frustrating, but we don't need to wait for elections to take action. There are so many ways to get involved… like craftivism! Women across the world have been using their creativity and skills—often traditionally “feminine” skills like sewing, baking, and knitting—to create change for centuries. So Jasmine sits down with Kristina Wong, a performer and activist who created a squad to sew masks during the pandemic. You can learn more about it in her book, The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care, and Racial Justice.Finally, Amanda, Jasmine, and Beverly raise a glass to sports victories, Diwali, and getting our kids vaccinated in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”Do you feel like you could use some support figuring out how to respond to anti-mask, anti-vax, or anti-CRT messaging in your community? We invite you to sign up for one of our Troublemaker Trainings! They're fun events where you can meet other women who are facing this stuff too and learn strategies to stand up for the kids in your community.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

IAN MCVICAR is a pretty amazing young man! At age 14, he seems wise beyond his years. This Sacramento teenager endured the Covid Pandemic like all of us and what he got out of it will blow your mind. With time on his hands, Ian created a business called "Ian6FX." His business? Making masks. Inspired by his grandparents (who loved Halloween) and later by the band Slipknot, Ian has worked hard to master a unique craft that has helped him create just over 40 masks since last October.In today's episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard sits back and enjoys the knowledge dropped on him by a 14-year old. "I was mesmerized by his knowledge behind mask making. At 14, people in the community know who he is. And then he fires off at the end of the conversation that his first love is being a guitar player. The mind of a 14-year old ... I LOVE IT!.  Our conversation hits THREE areas:  Segment ONE

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin: In May of 2020 I interviewed Valerie Soe and Kristina Wong about the Auntie Sewing Squad, a sewing circle that was formed on March 24th during the global Coronavirus pandemic. Initially the group sewed masks for frontline medical and essential workers, and then for vulnerable marginalized communities. From the outset, Kristina described the Auntie Sewing Squad as a stop gap measure, and said that she had no intention of turning it into a nonprofit. In fact, she stated that the nature of what the Auntie Sewing Squad does is not sustainable in the long run and that the goal would be for the group to eventually retire. The work of the Auntie Sewing Squad, has gone beyond mask making. So, when I learned that the Auntie Sewing Squad had set a date to retire, I had to invite Valerie and Kristina back on to talk about the Auntie Sewing Squad's retirement.   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   Why and when the Auntie Sewing Squad is going into retirement The work that the Auntie Sewing Squad has done aside from sewing masks How the Auntie Sewing Squad is spending $10,000 on N-95 masks for farmworkers who have to work during the wildfires How Kristina and the Auntie Sewing Squad allocates food and supplies from the L.A. food bank to communities in need The Super Aunties of the Auntie Sewing Squad How the Auntie Sewing Squad is not the alternative to FEMA The other ways that Aunties are trying to support communities in need Dealing with the recent passing of Auntie Sally Super Auntie Constance Parng's breakout case of COVID How Kristina has been able to do more to affect change as an Auntie than an elected official The statement that the Auntie Sewing Squad put out after the Atlanta Spa Shootings The book about the Auntie Sewing Squad that will be coming out this fall (The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care and Racial Justice) The full-length documentary being made about the Auntie Sewing Squad (We Go Down Sewing) How COVID hospitalizations have affected people in need of other medical treatments/procedures The Auntie Sewing Squad retirement party How the Auntie Sewing Squad is nonhierarchical The term mutual aid The unique community and bonds that have formed amongst the Aunties and members of Auntie Sewing Squad What will happen to the group after it retires, and will the community still exist online Kristina's show about the Auntie Sewing Squad which is set to be performed in New York in November   Related Links:   The Auntie Sewing Squad's website: http://auntiesewingsquad.com/   The Auntie Sewing Squad on Instagram: www.Instagram.com/AuntieSewing   Auntie Sewing Squad Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2764362993676831/   Auntie Sewing Squad Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/auntiesewing   The Auntie Sewing Squad's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQrlwkZu_l6F1d9D_M5ZnGQ   The Auntie Sewing Squad's book, The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care and Racial Justice, 30% off code 17M6662, valid for UC Press website only: https://bit.ly/3iwyEBb   The Auntie Sewing Squad's HQ (list of notable Aunties): http://auntiesewingsquad.com/about/what-is-hq/   FEMA: https://www.fema.gov/   World Harvest Food Bank: https://www.worldharvestla.org/   Mutual Aid:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_aid_(organization_theory)   Super Auntie Constance Parng's Talking Taiwan interview: https://talkingtaiwan.com/constance-parng-super-auntie-to-native-nations-of-the-auntie-sewing-squad-ep-108/   Atlanta Spa Shootings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Atlanta_spa_shootings   The Auntie Sewing Squad's Statement on Rising Anti-Asian Hate and Violence: http://auntiesewingsquad.com/blog-posts/anti-aapi-hate-statement/   Kristina Wong's website: http://kristinawong.com/   Kristina Wong's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ilovekristinawong/   Kristina Wong's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYVB9L   Valerie Soe's blog: https://beyondasiaphilia.com/   Valerie Soe's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Valerie-Soe-1397194727164610   Valerie's previous Talking Taiwan interview about her documentary film, Love Boat Taiwan: https://talkingtaiwan.com/love-boat-taiwan-interview-asian-american-studies-professor-film-maker-valerie-soe-ep-66/   Talking Taiwan Episode 75: Auntie Sewing Squad Combats Covid-19 One Mask at a Time: https://talkingtaiwan.com/auntie-sewing-squad-combats-covid-19-one-mask-at-a-time-ep-75/ Talking Taiwan Episode 107: Auntie Sewing Squad 2: Supporting Communities On the Fringe Through Caring: https://talkingtaiwan.com/auntie-sewing-squad-2-supporting-communities-on-the-fringe-through-caring-ep-107/

Kristina started the “Auntie-Sewing Squad” as a way to connect with friends during the pandemic.  Today it's a national network with more than 800 volunteers doing their part to help vulnerable communities. Like Kristina, many members of the Sewing Aunties are of Asian descent, and their families' involvement in the garment industry played a role in their passage to America. Although sewing has been a part of Kristina's life since she was young, she shares that she only took it up seriously when she started sewing props for her shows. Whatever the performance—whether it's her current show, “Kristina Wong, Sweatshop Overlord,” “The Wong Street Journal”, or “Kristina Wong for Public Office”, Kristina discovered that using props made it easier for the audience to relate to her and to the stories she's sharing. One of her favorite examples was when she created hundreds of felt hashtags as props to demonstrate the rise of the cancel culture. Whether she was throwing hashtags at the audience or they at her, it was a very tactile way to describe a culture that's very digital. (6:30 -11:08)When her tour of “Kristina Wong for Public Office” was canceled due to the pandemic, Kristina saw an article that hospitals were looking for cloth face masks, and so she made one. Then she posted on social media that she'd make masks for anyone who was immunocompromised or a frontline worker. For every 30 masks she sent out, a request for 90 more would come in. Her passion builds as she talks about the impact this effort had on her, the mask recipients, and the volunteers. When a neighbor who was helping her said that aunties are being called on to fix this, Kristina was struck by the image of aunties because it made her think of a non-threatening immigrant lady who's just kind of caring and sweet and doing the work of a soldier. And so, the group became the Auntie Sewing Squad. (13:12- 17:50 )Before long, the group shifted its focus from medical workers to farmworkers, indigenous reservations, migrants at the borders, incarcerated people, and poor communities that were impacted and that had no other source of support. The fact that many of these people were victims of systemic racism was not lost on the Auntie Sewing Squad.  To provide support for The Auntie Sewing Squad volunteers, the group has started “Auntie Care.” It has partnered with Hollaback for bystander intervention training and is also providing self-defense training for many of its volunteers.  Kristina explains that while the actual pandemic is winding down, the racial pandemic continues. She and the Auntie Sewing Squad are committed to helping fight it through labor and fabric. Because of assimilation and loss of her native language, Kristina feels that she lost connection to her heritage. She re-discovered that connection through sewing. When she was with her grandmother, and her grandmother started adding stitches to what she was working on, Kristina realized that sewing was a language they shared — a language that can provide a bridge to the past and the future. (40:00 -43:19)Kristina shares how the group has taught everyone to be generous with each other, and she talks about the power of generosity. Her book, The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care, and Racial Justice will be released in the fall and chronicles the evolution of The Auntie Sewing Squad. A cross between anthology, memoir, and visual record, it shines a light on the power of community. In addition to the book, she's also re-working “Kristina Wong, Sweatshop Overlord” for the stage. It will be premiering in New York this coming fall. Kristina's generous spirit, and her belief that giving more to others is a way to create more power for yourself, are both brought to life in her work and in this interview. As you listen, you'll find yourself thinking about ways you can create a better world. If you'd like to reach out to Kristina or find ways to support the Auntie Sewing Squad's efforts, visit auntiesewingsquad.com
