This is a reading of Marta Harnecker's "Ideas for the Struggle", read by Red Star member Megan Romer.
"Jesus didn't simply associate with the folks at the edge. He brought them in and elevated their voices and assured them that the reign of God belongs to them as much as it belongs to anyone else."What can you do to subvert the systems that oppress the people at the edge?//Micah 5:2-5But you, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah, who are one of the little clans of Judah,from you shall come forth for me one who is to rule in Israel,whose origin is from of old, from ancient days.Therefore he shall give them up until the time when she who is in labor has brought forth;then the rest of his kindred shall return to the people of Israel.And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.And they shall live secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth;and he shall be the one of peace. If the Assyrians come into our land and tread upon our soil,we will raise against them seven shepherds and eight installed as rulers.//This episode was written and recorded by Megan Romer, It was produced by Rev.

"God will always be there with us in the humiliation, in the pain, in the degradation. And violence and empire and even death will not get the last word."How have you seen God present in the midst of humiliation, pain, and degradation?//Mark 8:31-38Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. He said all this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.”He called the crowd with his disciples, and said to them, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it. For what will it profit them to gain the whole world and forfeit their life? Indeed, what can they give in return for their life? Those who are ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of them the Son of Man will also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”//This episode was written and recorded by Megan Romer.

Noel's been working on this episode for weeks and we had so much material we decided to split it into the two parts. Jadi and I mostly ceded the podcast to Noel for this two-part episode, fittingly, since it's the Noel season.Part I starts with one of Noel's letters - this one is addressed to her dad and features a very special Christmas memory. And then, a conversation between Noel and Megan Romer, one of our early guests on the show.

Revolutions Per Minute - Radio from the New York City Democratic Socialists of America
When climate collapse strikes home, we’re all we’ve got. On today’s show, we’re learning about two separate but interconnected climate struggles. After getting slammed by two hurricanes just several weeks apart, residents of SW Louisiana have been left to take care of each other and their communities. We'll talk with Megan Romer of SW Louisiana DSA on how people can help from afar and how no matter where we are we can prepare to respond to the many crises we face, with mutual aid and solidarity.We’ll also discuss an ongoing climate struggle right here in our own backyard -- the fight to stop a new fracked gas pipeline in North Brooklyn, where communities are stepping up to stop construction by putting their bodies on the line. Did the message of this show hit home for you? Rally for Public Power and stop National Grid! The rally will be held Thursday 10/22 at 9:30am, outside of National Grid headquarters in downtown Brooklyn (1 Metrotech Center).For updates on the North Brooklyn Pipeline, follow @frackouttabk on Instagram and @nonbkpipeline and @BVilleGreen on Twitter.Support the comrades in SW Louisiana and follow along with their specific requests at @DSASWLA.
Roqayah is off this week, so Kumars is joined from the top of the hour by two organizers with the Southwest Louisiana chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America: Phil Peterson, an activist, organizer, and educator based in Lake Charles Louisiana, and Megan Romer, also an organizer, writer, and educator based in the neighboring city of Lafayette, Louisiana. After introducing listeners to their communities and their personal paths to organizing, Phil and Megan describe the devastation on the Gulf Coast from Hurricane Laura as DSA SWLA and allied groups like Mutual Aid Disaster Relief continue their recovery efforts despite a lack of interest from national media. Phil discusses his experience of being displaced by the storm and the significance of Louisiana activists as innovators at the vanguard of climate struggle, and Megan explains the key lessons we can learn from DSA SWLA about organizing during a pandemic, along with the convoluted local politics behind the city of Lafayette’s refusal to accept refugees from Lake Charles in the aftermath of the police killing of 31-year-old Trayford Pellegrin on August 21. The gang highlights the willful abdication of responsibility by Louisiana’s Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards and the dire implications of local authorities’ decision to lift mandatory evacuation orders for the majority-black, heavily working class people of Lake Charles and the surrounding area, over 10,000 of whom are now forced by FEMA to pay out of pocket to subsidize New Orleans’s otherwise failing hotels. You can follow Phil on Twitter @Sadsackjacobin and Megan @meganromer.

We take a detour this week from the play-by-play of current news to talk about the intersection of leftism and religion. We discuss with our guest Megan Romer (Twitter: @meganromer) how leftist ideals can advise religious praxis on issues like poverty alleviation, reproductive rights, border control, and climate change. Chuck announces an exciting new project.
