For call center workers in the Philippines, attempts to unionize the workplace don't just entail confrontations with local management—but overseas US-based multinationals and the US federal government's foreign policy agenda as well. Since 2022, the Biden administration has promoted a new economic initiative known as the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF). Touted as a vehicle for “writing the new rules of the 21st century economy,” the IPEF links 14 nations across the Pacific Rim into an emergent bloc that has been compared to the defunct Trans-Pacific Partnership. Like the TPP before it, the IPEF attempts to build an exclusive economic regional pact that excludes China.In a special livestream panel, workers and organizers in the US and the Philippines discuss how trade policy and worker repression in the Philippines go hand-in-hand with the IPEF and the New Cold War on China. The event, moderated by Maximillian Alvarez, Editor-in-Chief of The Real News Network and Ryan Harvey, National Field Director for Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch, is part of organizing efforts for two upcoming rallies in the U.S. during negotiating meetings for the Biden's administration's largest trade initiative, the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF). Those meetings and rallies will take place in Detroit in May and in Seattle in August. This event is co-hosted by Public Citizen, BAYAN USA, the BPO Industry Employees Network, and Communication Workers of America.Panelists include:Mylene Cabalona, President, BPO Industry Employees Network (Philippines)Kendra Williams, Member, Communications Workers of America, Local 6215 (US)Adrian Bonifacio, National Chairperson, BAYAN USA (US)Melinda St. Louis, Director, Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch (US)Maximillian Alvarez, Editor-in-Chief, The Real News Network (moderator)Ryan Harvey, National Field Director, Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch (moderator)Additional links:For more info about the May 20th Detroit IPEF/APEC rally: https://bit.ly/Detroit-IPEF / asiddiqui@citizen.orgFor more info about the August Seattle IPEF/APEC rally: julie@washingtonfairtrade.orgStudio Production: Cameron Granadino, Adam ColeyHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-podSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/newsletter-podLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, we are joined by Austin Smith, a Republican running for State Legislature in Arizona and Michael Lieb, the co-founder of Home Arizona. Austin Smith is a proud 5th-Generation Arizonan. Growing up in LD-29, he became a National FFA Award recipient and an All-State award-winning football player at Millennium High School. Working in the agricultural industry on ranches and farms across Arizona, he saw firsthand how devastating an out-of-control government can be to water, business, and freedom. This led him to become involved with grassroots activism as early as the 2014 Midterms. Beginning in 2016, Austin joined a young team of Conservative Activists led by Charlie Kirk and helped convince Charlie to move Turning Point USA's headquarters from Chicago to Phoenix. Turning Point would go on to create over 200 Arizona jobs thanks in large part to Austin's insistence that the heart of the Youth Movement for Freedom & Free Markets be based in America's next great Battleground State.

Pathways for reducing carbon emissions include electrifying transportation and replacing fossil fuels with wind and solar power. But in this time of national reckoning on racial and economic disparities, there is growing support for a more holistic approach. This view holds that the climate crisis won't be resolved until we first address the systemic imbalances that have fueled it – racism, capitalism, white supremacy and patriarchy. In their recent book, All We Can Save: Truth, Courage and Solutions for the Climate Crisis, co-editors Katharine Wilkinson and Ayana Elizabeth Johnson bring together the voices of women artists, writers and change-makers who are at the forefront of climate action. “The work that we're doing is instigating or nurturing a feminist climate renaissance,” says Johnson, “which is what we feel the climate movement so desperately needs right now.” Guests: Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, marine biologist Katharine Wilkinson, Vice President, Project Drawdown Co-editors, All We Can Save:Truth, Courage and Solutions for the Climate Crisis (One World, 2020) Christine Nieves Rodriguez, Co-founder and President, Emerge Puerto Rico.

Listen as they take a peek under the hood of All Sober set to launch in October. Good stuff happening here!Donald's BIO:I am a person thriving in recovery from severe mental & substance use disorders since 2004.

God's creation is a direct reflection of God's glory, and Christians are called to be faithful stewards of the earth. While global issues of climate and environment can seem out of reach, our local communities give us space to learn and take action in small and large ways. How can we partner with our creator to build a better, more sustainable living environment? What simple, practical changes can we make to responsibly care for our local communities and our world?Chris and Eddie are joined by Heather McTeer Toney, an activist, speaker, and author who serves as the National Field Director for Moms Clean Air Force. Toney is the former two term mayor of Greenville, Mississippi, and she was appointed by President Obama as the Regional Administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Southeast Region. During her tenure as mayor, Toney observed the many connections between infrastructure, inequality, and the environment. She has enthusiastically championed her communities to ensure equitable access and a sustainable future for all. Toney speaks to the collaborative nature of creation care, the relationship between her upbringing and her heart for justice, her experiences with environmental challenges in the Mississippi Delta, and the responsibility that God has given each of us to this earth. Follow Heather Toney on the web:https://www.heathermcteertoney.com Learn more about Moms Clean Air Force here:https://www.momscleanairforce.org Learn more about Environmental Defense Fund here:https://www.edf.org Follow Heather Toney on social media:https://www.facebook.com/heathermcteer https://twitter.com/HeatherMcTeer 

In this episode, we're continuing our series on Mothers in Politics! As physicians, getting regular women and parents in office is important to us because so much legislation affects public health: not just in the time of a pandemic, but also via laws surrounding issues like parental leave, health insurance coverage, pre-existing conditions, and access to medical and specialty care. Have you wondered what makes people decide to run for office? And how on earth they do it? Do you think it can't be you? Listen to our discussion with Pakou Hang, Chief Program Officer of Vote Run Lead, to find out how it can. Pakou Hang holds an undergraduate degree in Political Science from Yale University and a master's degree in Political Science from the  University of Minnesota. She successfully ran the 2002 campaign of Mee Moua -- the very first Hmong American elected to a state legislature in America -- and thereafter served as the Deputy Political Director to Senator Paul Wellstone's 2002 re-election campaign. Pakou has also served as the Election Protection Director for the Minnesota Democratic Farmer Labor Party and the National Field Director for the Children's Defense Fund. She co-founded and spent eight years as the Executive Director of the Hmong American Farmers Association, a nonprofit committed to building intergenerational and community wealth for Hmong farmers and their families. She is a recipient of the prestigious Hubert H. Humphrey Public Leadership Award, the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, the Bush Leadership Fellowship, and most recently, the Marshall Memorial Fellowship, which strives to bolster trans-Atlantic relations. She is a co-founder and Chief Program Officer for Vote Run Lead.Vote Run Lead is a national non-partisan organization that trains women to run for office and win, reaching over 36,000 women all across America. Vote Run Lead alumni are serving on city councils, county boards, state houses, supreme courts, and in Congress.

Our guest today is Austin Smith. Austin is the National Field Director of Turning Point Action, the sister organization to Turning Point USA and he is the Chairman of the Arizona Young Republicans. Austin grew up hunting and fishing, and firearms have been a part of his life since he was born. He believes the second amendment is still the most consequential right we have to fight for every day. 1) You recently held a “Revival” meeting for AZ Young Republicans. To hear the “news” tell it, the words “young” and “Republican” are oxymorons. So, you put together a mixer, but it was a Friday night, and a decidedly Political event...and yet you had quite the turnout! Talk to us about that. 2) You were energizing people at the mixer to “get involved”. What does that mean? Sometimes people like how that sounds, but they don’t really know what to do or how to do it. 3) What is the greatest barrier to people standing up for their values and ideals? Do you think that young people have any specific obstacles to being civically active? 4) In the movie, Frozen 2, which maybe you haven’t seen, but with us having granddaughters we tend to memorize their favorite movies – one of the characters is faced with a dilemma and sings about “doing the next right thing”. Do you think there is a message in there for the rest of us? None of us an do EVERYTHING, so maybe just do one thing, even if it seems small?

Today on Sojourner Truth: We continue our coverage of the trial of Derek Chauvin, the white police officer who is on trial for the murder of George Floyd. Last week, witnesses for the prosecution made emotional testimony. This week, prosecution witnesses are taking a closer look at police policies and the use of force. Some say prosecution witnesses this week have given an opening for Chauvin's defense. We speak with Karissa Lewis, the National Field Director for the Movement for Black Lives, a coalition of more than 50 groups representing the interests of Black communities across the United States. Also, the crisis in Yemen. On Tuesday, April 6, the Friends Committee on National Legislation, Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation, Demand Progress, and Just Foreign Policy sent a letter to President Joe Biden, calling for an end to the Saudi blockade of Yemen. According to the UN, 400,000 children under the age of 5 could perish from hunger this year without urgent action. In the U.S., a group of activists are participating in a hunger strike to stop U.S. backing of Saudi Arabia in Yemen. Our guest is Iman Saleh, a member of the Yemeni Liberation Movement, which educates and mobilizes Yemenis and all communities for an end to the war on Yemen. The Biden administration is making a major push to encourage people of color to be vaccinated. This, as cases are once again on the rise in certain states. We speak with La-Tanga Hopes, a Media Relations Specialist for FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency). Lastly, our weekly Earth Minute presented by the Global Justice Ecology Project.
