Today on Sojourner Truth: Across the Western Hemisphere, Indigenous environmental activists are under attack. They face violence and repression as they continue to defend their water and lands from right-wing governments and extractivist multinational companies. In Chile, the Indigenous Mapuche people have been leading the charge when it comes to defending protected environmental areas from occupying forces. Back in June, Mapuche land rights defender Alberto Curamil was seriously injured in a shooting by police. Meanwhile, in Honduras, a U.S.-trained former Honduran army intelligence officer was recently found guilty over the assassination of Indigenous Lenca environmental activist Berta Caceres. Roberto David Castillo, the president of an internationally-financed hydroelectric company, was found guilty of being co-collaborator in ordering the murder. Our guest is Francisca Stuardo, a Santiago-based consultant for the international climate advocacy group Global Witness. She works on their land and environmental defenders campaign, which highlights threats against activists and pushes businesses, financiers and governments to protect them. On Monday, July 12, the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival announced that it will launch a month of Moral Mondays, featuring peaceful civil disobedience in Washington D.C. and other state capitals, through August 2. It is being billed as the Season of Non-Violent Moral Action. This comes after the For the People Act, a groundbreaking bill in defense of voter rights, failed to pass the Senate, as Republicans voted against starting debate on it. The Poor Peoples Campaign has also been calling for the realization of the Third Reconstruction in the United States. The Third Reconstruction draws from the transformational history of the First Reconstruction following the U.S. Civil War and the Second Reconstruction of the civil rights movement of the 20th century. Our guest is the Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, Co-Chair of the Poor Peoples Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival along with the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II.

Growing up as the son of an ordained minister, Rev. Dr. William Barber didn't want to be a preacher. But during his senior year of college he reconsidered, and after a long talk with his father, he preached his first sermon a few weeks later. Rev. Barber has since become a leading voice in the national fight for social justice. He joined David to talk about desegregating his school as a second grader, starting Moral Mondays to combat voter suppression, how he sees the fight for a $15 minimum wage as a fight for racial justice and why he believes we're in the midst of a third Reconstruction.

The story of how a Christian preacher became a social justice activist and is calling for a revolution of values in our nation’s priorities.

The Tom Ficklin Show Moral Mondays by WNHH Community Radio

The story of how a Christian preacher became a social justice activist and is calling for a revolution of values in our nation’s priorities.

Pod for the Cause host Ashley Allison and the iconic Rev. Dr. William Barber II, president and senior lecturer of Repairers of the Breach and architect of the Moral Mondays movement, discuss what justice and freedom look like in the Trump era. The conversation includes how young people are leading the movement and how we should all use our moral compass to continue the fight.

“Transformation requires people changing. And I don't think most people change when they're defensive,” Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove told me. Wilson-Hartgrove is a leader in progressive Christianity, but as a young man he was a conservative Republican in rural North Carolina. And he talks in this episode about how the debate over systemic racism is uncomfortable and intimidating for many white people, and how to reduce those tensions. Jonathan was an organizer of the “Moral Mondays” protests in North Carolina in 2013, and is a leader in the Poor People’s Campaign movement that’s co-chaired by Rev. William Barber and Rev. Liz Theoharis. Jonathan has co-authored a book with Barber called “The Third Reconstruction: How a Moral Movement is Overcoming the Politics of Division and Fear.” He’s written several other books on his own, including his most recent, “Reconstructing the Gospel.” He talks about the Poor People's Campaign candidate forum with nine presidential candidates and how Rev. Barber has tried to maintain some separation between their movement and the Democratic party. We discuss the concept of keeping a "prophetic distance" in order to be able to speak truth to power, and whether progressive Christians are capable of that on issues like abortion.

This week on Off-Kilter, it’s midterm season — the time when members of Congress come home to their districts to tell their constituents just how hard they’ve been fighting for them, and why they should send them back to Washington. For a look ahead to the upcoming midterms — and a sneak peek at how Indivisible is working to bring change to Washington by supporting activists-turned-candidates taking on GOP incumbents through the “Indivisible 435” campaign launched earlier this week — Rebecca talks with Indivisible’s Chad Bolt. Next: One month after the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s assassination, a group of faith leaders resuscitated the civil rights icon’s final project by launching the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. You’re probably familiar with campaign co-chair Reverend William Barber II from his leadership of the Moral Mondays movement. But less well known is his co-chair, the Reverend Dr. Liz Theoharis, who has spent the past two decades working as an organizer with groups led by people in poverty, such as the National Welfare Rights Union and the Coalition of Immokalee Workers. Rebecca speaks with Rev. Dr. Theoharis about what’s behind the campaign — and how it’s trying to change the narrative on poverty in the U.S. Later in the show: TalkPoverty.org broke the story last week that Ohio is hoarding over half a billion dollars in unspent funds for poor families — and how when a bipartisan group of 70 rural mayors asked to use just a small portion of it to help struggling Ohioans afford their water bills… the state said no. Rebecca talks with Jack Frech, who spent nearly four decades working in an Ohio welfare office, as a caseworker and ultimately as itsdirector, to get the skinny on what’s going on in Ohio. But first: With horrifying immigration stories dominating the headlines, from families being separated at the border to people dying in ICE custody, Rebecca and Jeremy bring in a ringer — Claudia Flores, immigration campaign manager at the Center for American Progress Action Fund — for a special all-immigration edition of In Case You Missed It.

My guest for today is sixteen-year-old activist Madison Kimrey. According to Wikipedia, “Madison Kimrey is a political activist from Burlington, North Carolina. Her focuses include youth involvement in politics, the humane treatment of animals, and women’s rights. She has also been involved with petitions, including a petition to meet with North Carolina governor Pat McCrory. She spoke at a Moral Mondays event in North Carolina, and at the ‘We are Woman’ rally in Washington DC. Kimrey's first encounter with activism was in Jacksonville, when a same-sex couple had to pay extra for a family membership at the ‘Hands-On Children's Museum’ because the museum argued they weren't ‘really a family.’ After she returned to North Carolina, Kimrey started to notice Pat McCrory and started going to "Moral Monday" protests. Kimrey is also the author of the blog ‘Functional Human Being,’ which contains a collection of political writings, opinions, personal insights and occasional accompanying music video.” And today I’ve got her on the show to talk about her activism.Links:•Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/madisworldofpie •Twitter: https://twitter.com/madisworldofpie •Blog: http://functionalhumanbeing.blogspot.com/ •Real Life Beyond Faith: http://www.reallifebeyondfaith.com/ •Help a Five-Year-Old Go to School: https://www.gofundme.com/help-a-fiveyearold-go-to-school •The Trans Podcaster Visibility Initiative: https://www.facebook.com/transvisiblepodcaster/ •Dream Youth: http://dreamyouth.bandcamp.com •Asher Silberman: http://www.ashersilberman.com/ •My Twitter: http://twitter.com/tmamone •Bi Any Means on Twitter: http://twitter.com/bianymeanspod •Bi Any Means on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/bianymeanspodcast •The Bi Any Means/Biskeptical Podcast Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/179617892470906/ •Email: bianymeanspodcast@gmail.com •Listener line: 410-690-3558 •My Patreon page: http://www.patreon.com/tmamone•PayPal link: http://paypal.me/tmamone •Bi Any Means Blog: http://freethoughtblogs.com/bianymeans/

21 September 2015 - We survived the launch! It would have been better had it not taken us about eight hours to record the show only to later discover that we still had a strange audio problem in a couple of places but all-in-all we are still in one piece and we are downright hoppy with the result. It’s hard to be anything but thrilled with the end product because we had such a wonderful time talking with SUNY professor and Daily Kos feature writer, Denise Oliver-Velez. I think it’s obvious that Dee is basically a progressive rock star. She answered questions about hope, Puerto Rico, the Latino get-out-the-vote effort and education. I especially loved the conversation about the fact that the Moral Mondays platform and the Black Lives Matter platforms are putting forward issues that are not “new” which is contrary to the commentary by mainstream media. Dee, with her wealth of perspective on progressive movements closed out by commenting on the difference between getting out the word in the 1970s versus the social media of today but she was sure to say, “The revolution will be slogged, not blogged.” We make change by talking with one another directly. Will and I began the show talking a little bit about how we got started in the space that ultimately lead to “Hopping Mad.” We then went on to talk about the need for a new New Deal via job guarantee programs. So, here it is, the very first Hopping Mad…

The Moral Monday movement came to Missouri. What if it spread nationally, and to the rest of the week? Police arrested more than fifty people in front of the Ferguson Police Department Monday October 13, during demonstrations against the police killing of black men in the area, including teenager Michael Brown last August. The one person police have yet to arrest, is officer Darren Wilson, Brown's shooter. And that was one of the complaints of the protestors. Organizers planned the action as part of a weekend of resistance, inspired by the weekly Moral Monday protests in North Carolina which which started a year ago, in protest of right wing attacks. Among those arrested in Ferguson Monday was Cornell William Brooks president of the NAACP and Dr. Cornel West, along with religious leaders of every faith and gender and race. Critics called everyone "outside agitators" of course. But police impunity is hardly a local problem. The actions came as a study by Pro Publica revealed that black teens were about 21 times as likely as their white peers to be shot and killed by police, and as the online activist group Color of Change kicked off a campaign to tweet the name of one black police killing victim every hour, for the duration of the Ferguson protests. There are plenty of names because according to Pro Publica, in the seven years leading up to 2012, white officers killed a black person at least twice a week. What next? The power of the Moral Monday movement has come from its persistence and the breadth of the alliances behind it. Anti-austerity activists teamed up with reproductive rights campaigners, union and religious leaders. They have distinct issues and experiences, but they've made common cause. Missouri's seen some of that sort of multi-denominational action. Many workers in the St. Louis area Fast Food campaign, for example, were in the streets protesting the killing of Brown at the start. Still, it's also true that in our increasingly re-segregated nation, too much ignorance continues. Whether its willful or not, is almost beside the point. On the eve of the protests white residents in St. Louis told the Washington Post they'd been surprised, even "shocked" by the racial divisions exposed since the killing of Brown Listen. Friends don't let friends drink and drive. It's too dangerous. What if we, especially we White people didn't let our friends live in oblivious privilege. It's just as dangerous for the public health. What if, every time some TV agitator accused the NAACP of sending in outsiders, we answered that there is no getting outside police killings.... What if, Bill McKibben who led hundreds of thousands to protest climate justice in New York, stood up and said: “That's me you're talking about.” We can make common cause. It may take Moral Mondays, and Tuesdays and Wednesdays. But perhaps at the end of it, we'll have police as ready to arrest their own shooters as they are speedy to arrest Cornel West.

With total control in North Carolina, Republicans are enacting an ultra-conservative agenda, sparking the South's largest, most sustained protest movement in years.

Hundreds of people have been arrested at the North Carolina Legislative Building as part of the "Moral Mondays" protests against policies by the Republican-led legislature and Gov. Pat McCrory. Five of those people -- Duke professors Willie Jennings, Robin Kirk, Bill Turner, Jed Purdy and Bill Chafe -- participated in a live webcast interview about the protests Monday, July 1. Also joining the conversation was Duke alumnus David Graham who wrote a recent article for The Atlantic about the protests, which compared North Carolina's politics with those of Wisconsin's two year ago.
