NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US! THE EMERGING UKRAINIAN-EUROPEAN DEFENSE ALLIANCE by The Charles T. McDowell Center for Global Studies and Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center

Thank you to our sponsor, Zinnia TV, a therapeutic dementia care platform to support caregivers. We invite you to use the code GATHER20 for 20% off an annual subscription HERE.   I have felt called not to speak for others, but to listen, to learn, and to help share the voices that too often go unheard. I want to amplify the voices of those who have lived the experience, who remind us that life doesn't end with a diagnosis. Through willGather, I've been privileged to meet extraordinary people—care partners, advocates, and those living with dementia—who are actively shaping what it means to live with dementia. Their voices, their wisdom, and their experiences matter. I'm drawn to the work of the Dementia Action Alliance (DAA). Their guiding principle, "Nothing About Us Without Us," isn't just a phrase—it's a movement. It's about listening, about real advocacy, and about making sure that every person living with dementia has a seat at the table. Too often, a diagnosis is handed down like a sentence, with little guidance beyond, "Go home and prepare for the worst."  But that's not the full story. There is another way. A way that prioritizes dignity, advocacy, and community. Today, I'm honored to sit down with a panel of extraordinary individuals who are not only living with dementia but are reshaping the future of how we understand it and who refuse to let their diagnosis define them. Laurie Scherrer, Jack George, Monica Downer, and Tim Perkins each bring a unique perspective—facing the shock of diagnosis, the roller coaster of emotions, and the daily realities of life with dementia. Beyond each of their challenges, they've found resilience, purpose, and community. From advocacy work to artistic expression, from research participation to daily problem-solving, their journeys reveal the power of adapting, growing, and redefining what's possible. So, let's step into their world, and listen with open hearts. To my panel, thank you for your advocacy and for joining me!

Dr. Cynthia Stuen, is the Main Representative from The International Federation On Ageing to the United Nations, the Chair of the NGO New York Committee On Ageing, and a leader in advocacy for Human Rights of older adults. Doctor Stuen gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the United Nations Open-Ended Working Group On Ageing as it explores the gaps in human rights for older adults worldwide. In 2024 a core group will report on the need to cover specific rights for older persons, and methods of monitoring how nations enforce those rights. This report may become part of the very first convention, which is a document like a treaty that will have influence in the lives of millions of older people. Doctor Stuen explains how you can impact age and  gender equality and lend a voice to the campaign for human rights that includes all of us. Let's make the slogan, Nothing About Us Without Us, a reality.

Giving neuro-divergent youth the chance to tell their own stories in their own words. That's the idea behind a new documentary called Nothing About Us Without Us. It's a project created by students of Cloudberry Forest School in St. John's.

Content Note: some of these excerpts contain mention of trauma, impacts of racist and colonial violence, and conversations on mental health challenges.  Today on the show we're tracing the long lines of conversations we've had with First Nations guests over the last little while, to amplify the plurality of their stories. You'll hear from a compilation of First Nations voices speaking to their experiences to go beyond any homogeneous and typical storytelling including Tasman Keith, Nayuka Gorrie, Nessa Turnball-Roberts, Dr Sandy O'Sullivan, Jazz Money and our very own Sara Khan. You're hearing from (in order): Episode 79: No Country (with Tasman Keith) Episode 17: Anger is Love (with Nayuka Gorrie) Episode 45: Just Us (with Nessa Turnbull-Roberts) Episode 94: Nothing About Us Without Us (with Jazz Money and May Jeong) Episode 101: Beyond the Binary (with Sandy O'Sullivan) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Although this interview is all about Maryland's Assistive Technology Program, I want to make sure the listeners know every state has a similar program. And, if they're anything like Maryland's, these programs are probably being underused. If you'd like to do more of your own research, I encourage you to check out The Association of Assistive Technology Act Programs (ATAP). From their website, they are "a national, member-based non-profit organization, comprised of state Assistive Technology Act Programs funded under the Assistive Technology Act (AT Act). ATAP facilitates the coordination of state AT Programs nationally and provides technical assistance and support to its members.

NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US! Mama Zodwa Ndlovu is a force of nature. Hear her story of breathtaking grief and titanic strength and determination. She has triumphed over adversity, and become a leader in her community, and one of the organizers of the growing South African Grandmothers Movement. Grandmothers who lost some or all of their adult children to AIDS, raising millions of children orphaned by AIDS are standing up and demanding their human rights, and a seat at the table where decisions are being made that have a direct impact on their lives! Here is a FIRST conversation in a series to come where African Grandmothers talk about the resilience, indomitability and love they draw on to deal with the ravages of AIDS. If you want to learn more about the Campaign (and how to join) in support of these remarkable African grandmothers, listen to Grandmothers on the Move Episodes #7 and #17 Grandmothers Rocking Solidarity not Charity Parts I and II)

Integrating real world facilitation with online engagement Rebecca Sutherns, CEO of Sage Solutions, co-hosts this week's podcast.  Rebecca shares her insights into the value of facilitated conversations with stakeholder groups and the challenge of facilitation in an era in which people are more focused on the screens of their mobile devices than to the people who may be sitting only feet away. She talks about integrating the richness and value of in-person experiences with online experiences that will reach larger numbers of people. This presents not only the challenge of asking questions to obtain useful responses across media, but also the challenge of interpreting data sets that will vary in both number and richness of data. Let's Talk IAP2 Last September at the IAP2 North American conference in Denver, IAP2 kicked off an examination of its organization and business model. This has been underway at an elite level, driven by a "Change Committee" drawn from North America, Australasia, Indonesia, Southern Africa and Latin America. This week, IAP2 sent an email to members like us inviting us to provide our input on a set of strategic directions that were established by the Change Committee. The intent is to gather member input via the Let's Talk IAP2 website for the next few weeks and then for a consensus decision from national and regional affiliate boards at IAP2 in Victoria. Both Rebecca and I are looking forward to providing our input. However, for me, the fact that IAP2 is consulting members so late in the process, and only consulting members, as opposed to the groups that it is "involving", such as trainers, or empowering (both of those terms are defined in the IAP2 spectrum) elevates my puzzlement at the top-focused nature of IAP2. It is the only membership-based organization that I have participated in that treats members as peripheral to decision-making. That's ironic, when you think about the mission and mandate embodied in the organization's name - the International Association for Public Participation. IAP2 is important to me -- I hope they get it right. Let's Talk IAP2 launched August 8 and runs to August 27. Find out more information at Let's Talk IAP2. Sidewalk goes off the rails?

Eric & Mary talk to Ms. Siobhan kane of Inclusion Ireland about People with a disability and their families will march on 21st November to say in one loud voice, ‘We Demand Rights, Not Charity’ & Call on Government to Implement Disability Promises in the 2011 Programme for Government. A list of the Promises made in the 2011 Programme for Government relating to disability, are available to view HERE Everyone who supports the rights of people with disabilities should attend! This includes grandparents, cousins, neighbours, work colleagues, team mates etc etc. This is about demanding equal rights and if you believe in this, then we need your support!! Date: Wednesday, 21st November 2012 Time: Assemble at 2pm, leaving at 2.30pm Where: Central Bank, College Green, Dublin 2, with a march to Leinster House, Kildare St, Dublin 2 This march is for individuals with disabilities and their families. None of the organisations that are part of the Disability Rights Coalition will bring placards with their organisation names on it, and we ask others to respect this by also not bringing banners or placards highlighting issues associated with a service or organisation. Instead of placards with organisation names, we want people to highlight where they are from. Please bring placards with slogans like ‘Ballinasloe says Nothing About Us Without Us’, or ‘Cork says Rights Not Charity’. Please use red card or placards for these banners – we want to send a strong message that we are giving Government a red card. If everyone uses red, then this will be a great visual message. Also, no political party posters. This march is about promoting people’s individual rights. The Disability Rights Coalition are facilitating this protest by sending out information, but we want it to be about individuals with disabilities and their families coming together to support each other in demanding greater equality. The Programme for Government published in March 2011 contained many keys promises to people with disabilities, including “tackling Ireland’s economic crisis in a way that is fair, balanced, and which recognises the need for social solidarity”. But cuts affecting people with disabilities and their families continue to build up, and people are feeling increasingly isolated and abandoned by this Government. This march calls on Government to fully implement Disability Promises in the 2011 Programme for Government.
