What is possible, politically? When are we being too idealistic? What is “realistic,” when we talk about social change? Is non-violent revolution possible?   In this episode, I speak with journalist Vincent Bevins, author of The Jakarta Method, about the mass killings of suspected communists and ethnic Chinese in Indonesia during the 1960s and other Washington-supported anti-communist efforts around the globe. Next, Maya Menezes, writer of a recent article “Migrant workers are the present and future of low-carbon care work” in Briarpatch magazine, tells me about Canadian dependence on migrant labour, and the insidious myth of “scarcity” undermining our political goals.   To purchase Vincent’s book: https://vincentbevins.com/book/   Maya’s article: https://briarpatchmagazine.com/articles/view/migrant-workers-are-the-present-and-future-of-low-carbon-care-work   To support the podcast: patreon.com/deathnography

"Small steps will no longer get us where we need to go. So we need to leap.” Maya Menezes is the Senior Manager of Programming and Development at The Leap, a non-profit Canadian organization that exists to inject new urgency and bold ideas into confronting the intersecting crises of our time: climate change, racism and inequality. Maya’s vision for the future of our country is audacious - she proposes massive structural changes to our systems that she says would ultimately lead to 100% clean and renewable energy, thousands of good new jobs, and a more equal and fair society for all. We also talk to Maya about the Green New Deal in the United States, what that might look like here in Canada, and how for any of this change to occur at the speed necessary to save our planet, we need to come together as one people and fight for what is right. https://theleap.org/ https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/change-everything/id1451994174 www.upfordnetwork.com

Why do personal emergencies feel more urgent than collective ones? How can we activate our collective emergency response systems to address the crises of climate, racism and inequality we face? For inspiration, we talk to Varshini Prakash (@VarshPrakash), co-founder and executive director of the Sunrise Movement about the bold idea known as the Green New Deal.  The GND is a vision for radically transforming the country’s systems — from energy to infrastructure, housing, food and transportation — in order to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions, avoid catastrophic global warming, and create millions of good jobs in the process. And if insurgent Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) and the Sunrise Movement have their way, it’s going to be a major campaign issue leading up to the U.S. election in 2020. But is there anything intrinsically American about a Green New Deal? As Canada heads into a federal election year, we explore the opportunities and challenges of bringing the GND frame here.   Special thanks to Aluma Sound  for our theme music.

It’s election year in Canada, and The Leap is launching a brand new podcast hosted by Avi Lewis and Maya Menezes. Change Everything is a podcast for everyone who is freaking out about climate, racism and inequality, and wants solutions as big as the crises we face. In our first episode we’ll talk about the bold idea known as the Green New Deal with Varshini Prakash, one of the co-founders of the Sunrise Movement in the United States. And we’ll explore the opportunities and challenges of bringing the Green New Deal frame to Canada. The first episode drops February 12. Get ready.

We Will Outlive Them: For a World without Pogroms, for a Future without Fascism No Borders Media interview with Moishe & Sharona, on contemporary Jewish Anti-Fascism -> Listen, download and share here: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/outlivethem On this No Borders Media audio dispatch, we get insight into contemporary Jewish Anti-Fascism with two individuals involved with the recent Outlive Them call to action (info: https://outlivethem.wordpress.com/). The call for anti-racist actions, between November 8 to 11, coincided with the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the violent precursor to the horror of the Holocaust. The actions this year had particular resonance due to the Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre in late October. For perspective on modern Jewish Anti-Fascism, No Borders Media spoke with Sharona and Moishe of Outlive Them. Moishe is also a member of the Muslim-Jewish Anti-Fascist Front. Together, Sharona and Moishe address the current epidemic proportions of worldwide anti-Semitism, solidarity between movements and peoples fighting oppression, Jewish histories of struggle and resistance, and militant tactics and strategies of anti-fascism. This interview was recorded on November 15, 2018, by Jaggi Singh for No Borders Media, and includes The Partisan Song, composed and sung in Yiddish by Emma Schaver. -> Listen, download and share here: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/outlivethem -> Outlive Them: For a World without Pogroms, for a Future without Fascism: https://outlivethem.wordpress.com/ ------- Here are some other recent No Borders Media podcasts of interest: - Reflections on anti-racist strategy and tactics after the Bannon/Frum protest: Discussion with Sharmeen Khan, Maya Menezes & Rachel Small Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/mayarachelsharmeen - Feature interview with Gord Hill, author of THE ANTIFA COMIC BOOK: 100 Years of Fascism and Antifa Movements Around The World (Arsenal Pulp Press) Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/gordhillantifacomicbook - No Borders Media News Round-up Podcast #4: The election of the CAQ & Racism in Quebec Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/electioncaq - Resisting the right-wing Ford government and the far-right in Ontario: A conversation with Toronto-area left-wing activists Desmond Cole, Niloofar Golkar, Syed Hussan & Sharmeen Khan Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/torontonewsroundup - No Borders Media feature interview with members of Rose City Antifa (Portland, OR) Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/rosecityantifa - Grassroots Black Canada & Opposing the Deportation of Abdoul Abdi (interview with El Jones) Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/grassrootsblackcanada - Butterfly Sabrina Gopaul, Jane-Finch Action Against Poverty, on community resistance to racism Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/butterflyjanefinch ------- NO BORDERS MEDIA No Borders Media is an autonomous left-wing media network.

Reflections on anti-racist strategy and tactics after the Bannon/Frum protest Discussion with Toronto community organizers Maya, Rachel & Sharmeen -> Listen, download and share: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/mayarachelsharmeen In this No Borders Media audio dispatch, we get insights and perspectives on resisting the racist far-right from three anti-racist organizers in Toronto involved in the recent mobilization against the Steve Bannon/David Frum Munk "Debate". Sharmeen Khan, Maya Menezes and Rachel Small -- all actively involved in mobilizing over 1000 people to oppose racism in Toronto this past Friday -- collectively share their frontline organizing reflections. Together, Sharmeen, Maya and Rachel address many tactical and strategic challenges in resisting the far-right, including confronting police violence, organized media work, coalition building, experiments in organizing, using disruptive tactics, rejecting cynicism, and overcoming marginality by engaging in concerted public and popular education.
