Send us a textEver notice how almost everyone in America calls themselves “middle class”? But what does that really mean? Do you see yourself that way? Let's talk about the technical definition and the messier, lived experience of being middle class today—and why getting clear on this matters if we want to build communities that truly understand and support one another.Links from today's episode:Are you in the American middle class?

Wirkung, die trägt, entsteht nicht über Nacht. In dieser Episode spreche ich darüber, warum tiefe Veränderung immer mit Zeit, Vertrauen und einem würdevollen Umgang mit dem Gegenüber zu tun hat. Ich teile eine sehr persönliche Geschichte über meine ersten Erfahrungen mit wertebasierter Diagnostik – und darüber, wie meine Ungeduld mich selbst ausgebremst hat. Du erfährst, warum das Prinzip „Mutual Aid“ ein unterschätzter Erfolgsfaktor in Coaching, Beratung und Führung ist – und was das mit Lottogewinn und Versicherungsmathematik zu tun hat. Wir klären, warum Diagnostik Klarheit bringen kann, aber eben nicht automatisch Veränderung. Und ich lade dich ein, zu reflektieren: Was wirkt wirklich – und was davon bleibt? Eine Folge für alle, die mit Menschen arbeiten und bereit sind, sich und ihre Wirkung neu zu justieren.Hier geht's zu unserem Workshop am 4.

CareQuest Institute for Oral Health is a national nonprofit dedicated to creating an oral health care system that is accessible, equitable, and integrated. Learn more about how their advocacy, philanthropy, research, and education are creating a better oral health system at carequest.org/turnonthelights What if the path to better health and stronger communities doesn't start in hospitals, but in our relationships with each other? In this episode, Dr. Eric Reinhart, a political anthropologist, social psychiatrist, and psychoanalytic clinician based in Chicago, reflects on how his experiences in medicine, anthropology, and advocacy have shaped his urgent focus on public health reform, especially around mass incarceration and its devastating effects on communities. He argues that incarceration is not only a symptom but also a cause of widespread mental illness and social breakdown, emphasizing the need to democratize caregiving and public health beyond bureaucratic systems. Reinhart critiques the U.S. health care model for being overly medicalized and profit-driven, calling for a bottom-up approach that empowers communities to care for one another. He warns against relying on political self-correction, stressing that meaningful change requires validating public anger and offering materially supported, ethical alternatives rooted in relational care. Drawing from models like Paul Farmer's work and his own experiences in underserved communities, Reinhart envisions a public health system built on mutual aid, participation, and dignity. Tune in as Dr. Eric Reinhart challenges us to rethink public health by examining how systems of incarceration and inequality undermine care and what we can do to build something better!

We get into the role of mutual aid, the failure of institutional politics, and how everyday acts of care are a form of resistance.

The Regime is openly preparing for violence against street protesters. As such, it is time for mass consumer boycotts and labor strikes to take a central role in the movement. For that, we'll need a strong foundation of mutual aid. What is Mutual Aid? This episode provides an overview. www.charlesbursell.com

In this powerful episode of Queer Storytime, we dive deep into the urgent and historical topic of mutual aid within the LGBTQIA+ community. From the Stonewall era to the HIV/AIDS crisis and today's escalating attacks on gender and sexually affirming health care, mutual aid has been a lifeline for queer and trans folks.Stevie lays out the distinction between charity and solidarity, highlighting why institutional approaches often fall short. As mainstream LGBTQIA+ organizations amass wealth, the most vulnerable in our community — Black and Brown trans folks, unhoused queer youth, disabled queer individuals, and those living under oppressive legal systems — are left behind.This episode announces a groundbreaking new initiative: A Mutual Aid Collective for LGBTQIA+ Health & Wellbeing. This network will provide access to holistic health resources, guidance, and sliding-scale services for queer and trans individuals, especially those living in states where affirming healthcare is under attack.Listen now to learn about our community's resilience, why we need to reclaim the true spirit of mutual aid, and how you can support this collective effort.

Earlier this month, more than 100 people gathered in a St. Louis church for a legal clinic on powers of attorney. The event was just one example of ways LGBTQ people are confronting an uncertain future regarding their legal rights — including what it would mean for the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn marriage equality. Attorneys Sara Marler and Ramona Gao discuss the current legal landscape and why LGBTQ couples should consider obtaining a power of attorney. We also talk about the risks trans people are facing with Merrique Jensen, executive director of the Kansas City-based nonprofit Transformations.

Are the same dynamics screwing up our relationships also hampering our social movements?

On today's episode, I have a conversation with Vicky Osterweil, a fellow member of our new writing collective, CAW, and the author of the indispensable history and provocation, In Defense of Looting, and a forthcoming book on intellectual property and Disney, called The Extended Universe. We decided to have this conversation in the opening month of the Trump administration to game out some possible scenarios as we observe the administration demolishing the constitutional and administrative state, against all the establishment assurances the the institutions can withstand any attack. Though our conversation does engage the fear and threat of the situation, we also discuss openings for us to take bold action that uses this moment of (bad) revolution to expand our collective power. Vicky is one of my favorite people to talk with. She has a brilliant analytical mind, an incredible story of political history and knowledge, and an inspiring way to read the devastating moments against a belief in the necessity to act. In fact, Vicky emphasizes the potential timeline of power consolidation by these fascist forces and the urgency for us to prepare ourselves for managing our lives and mounting attack. This was recorded at the end of February, so of course there have been new terrible political developments, but the analysis itself still stands as a way for us to assess the possibilities. If you haven't already, please go over to cawshinythings.com and sign up to read the works that Vicky, me, and the amazing carla joy bergman and dani burlison are sharing there. Things have been incredibly difficult for me (and everyone), but I am coming back to regular recording and writing, so stay tuned. My column there is called “she's not there.” But all of us are posting our articles, essays, writing prompts, and recordings—there is plenty for you to sink your teeth into. And I will be also offering other projects along with my collaborators.  The online journal is currently open to subscribers but will pivot soon to a subscription service with a pay what you want option.

This essay is adapted from Jim Donaghey's excellent collection, Fight for a New Normal? Anarchism and Mutual Aid in the Covid-19 Pandemic Crisis . It discusses some of the applications of 'mutual aid' in government agencies and its articulation in nineteenth century anarchist thought to flesh out a grassroots, transformative conception.

This week's horoscope is short and sweet, so stay tuned for an extra special segment with Jessica in conversation with Dean Spade (https://linktr.ee/deanspade) about mutual aid and we can come together, for each other.

Two threads that wove through all of last year for us: coming together in creative community in the face of looming climate disaster and reclaiming Appalachian murder ballads.Those might seem like radically different subjects, but the overlap – for us, at least – was using art to grow resilience in the face of grief. Especially with the climate disaster that was Helene hitting so many of our neighbors. This episode features interviews with musician Kristin Hersh (Throwing Muses), artist and climate organizer Denali Nalamalapu, Jason Duncan from the Wilkes County Historical Museum, and discussions with MidMountain Fellows Heather Adams, Sarah Gill, Katherine Fahey, Dan Van Allen, Becky Poole, Miriam Juliana, Elsa Howell, and Marie Anderson.This episode also featured a clip of the Kingston Trio's version of "Tom Dooley" and instrumentals from Betsy Podsiadlo's performance in Fatal Femme Agency during MidMountain Fest in October of 2024.This episode was produced with support from Mid Atlantic Arts' Central Appalachian Living Traditions Program.

Send us a textIn this conversation, Jake Barnes hosts Andy Bozzo and Will Pigeon, both experienced firefighters and co-founders of Tablet Command. They discuss their backgrounds in the fire service, the challenges posed by California wildfires, and the importance of the mutual aid system. The conversation also delves into the differences between wildland and structural firefighting, the roles of various fire departments in California, and the innovative software they developed to enhance situational awareness and operational efficiency in emergency response.takeawaysAndy Bozzo has over 25 years in the fire service.Will Pigeon served as an assistant fire chief for 15 years.California's mutual aid system is crucial during wildfires.Wildland firefighting requires different skills than structural firefighting.Tablet Command was born from a need for better accountability in firefighting.The software enhances situational awareness for incident commanders.The first five minutes of a response are critical for success.Tablet Command integrates with existing dispatch systems for efficiency.The software is designed by firefighters for firefighters.The conversation highlights the importance of innovation in the fire service.Email me at 3pointFirefighter@Gmail.ComCheck out our Facebook Page 3 point Firefighter Podcasthttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61560769894306YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAv_hMC8vxrurhIunXtaJXg3 PFF Merchhttps://3-point-firefighter.printify.me/products

As the empire crumbles and the war economy tightens its grip, everyday people are left to pick up the pieces. From the circus in Washington, D.C. to the billionaires hoarding our collective wealth, the distractions are endless but so are the solutions. This week on CODEPINK Radio, we take you from the frontlines of mutual aid in fire-stricken Altadena to the systemic struggles of late-stage capitalism. Jodie Evans speaks with Charles Xu, a tenant organizer and mutual aid activist, about the urgent need to build local peace economies before disaster strikes. Then, we dive deeper with Marie Goodwin and Stephanie Rearick on how communities can break free from the war economy's grasp. Tune in, resist the distractions, and cultivate a future that nourishes life.

Mutual aid is natural. Individualism is manufactured. Let's get back to our roots and tear down the walls that individualism has built. In the words of Open Democracy Net, mutual aid resolves issues from the bottom up, not from the top down. THE SOURCE: https://www.theconsciouscitizens.org/solidarity-not-charity-why-to-choose-mutual-aid/DONATE:www.pcrf.netGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

Ket tells Kim about the scariest movie sh'd ever seen in her life when she was 9 yrs old, Arachnophobia. Like all things in the 90's, it contained propaganda for the Miami Dolphins.

Most importantly, we'll learn if Kim will live or die in Arachnophobia.Dir.

Explore the timely insights from activist Dean Spade on how reshaping our personal connections can bolster our fight for justice, as featured in his latest book, "Love in a F*cked Up World."This show is made possible thanks our members! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate   Thank you for your continued support!Description:  In a time of climate catastrophe, genocide, mass incarceration and political turmoil, people need to work together – better! That's why lifelong activist Dean Spade has written “Love in a F*ed Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up, and Raise Hell, Together”. Which tools can help people and social justice movements face conflict and emerge stronger (rather than weaker)? Which stories do we tell ourselves that aren't helping us think — or act — in our best interest? In this timely conversation, Spade shares tips on how we might get our interpersonal houses in order so that we're better equipped to show up for others and the causes we care about. Spade is a lawyer, educator, and author of “Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next)”, and “Normal Life: Administrative Violence, Critical Trans Politics and the Limits of the Law”. He's the director of “Pinkwashing Exposed: Seattle Fights Back!”, and in 2002 he founded the Sylvia Rivera Law Project in New York City, a law collective that provides free legal services to trans and gender non-conforming people who are low income and/or people of color. He has useful things to say about romance too, which are worth bearing in mind, as the Valentine's marketing crush hits, as Laura reflects in her commentary.“. . . Most of us are taking in all the bad news by ourselves through a screen . . . One of the best things we can do to support our own wellbeing through the overwhelm is be with others, joining any kind of project in our communities, a creative project, a mutual aid project . . .” - Dean Spade“The typical self-help genre is very focused on the individual. It doesn't contextualize the kinds of suffering that everyone's going through in a broader feminist analysis, anti-capitalist analysis, anti-racist analysis . . . If we understand that our individual suffering is a bunch of bigger scripts, . . . it can be a little bit freeing.” - Dean Spade Guest:  Dean Spade: Author, Love In A F*ed-Up World: How To Build Relationships, Hook Up, And Raise Hell Together & Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next) This show is made possible thanks our members!

In this episode we speak with Hala Sabbah about the work of the Sameer Project and their various initiatives providing tents, food, water, milk, medical aid, diapers, and cash aid to Palestinians surviving amid the US-backed, zionist enacted genocide in Gaza.  We are going to close the year by making a $50 contribution to the Sameer Project, and we encourage our listeners to give if they can or boost their incredible work, which you can see examples of on their instagram or twitter feeds. In this conversation Hala discusses their campaigns, responds to criticisms from the western left of mutual aid in times of genocide, talks about creative initiatives that groups like Workshops4Gaza are using to direct resources to The Sameer Project, and discusses some of their ideas for the day after a ceasefire. We also talk about some of the ways The Sameer Project's model differs from the approaches taken by large NGOs operating in Gaza, whose work is not grounded in the horizon of Palestinian liberation. We'll include links to the Sameer Project and Workshops4Gaza please consider groups like these as you think about your last minute holiday shopping or places to direct funds if you receive money this holiday season.  We also had a previous conversation with Hala on our YouTube channel which we will link in the show description. We'll probably have a few more audio episodes coming as we close out 2024, but we just want to thank everyone for their support of our work this year.
