"Spiritual Practices and Climate Justice" Sunday, July 7, 10:50 am, 2024 "We can never return to innocence, but we can move forward with integrity." - Rev. Dr. Howard Thurman The 20th-century spiritual leader, Rev. Dr. Howard Thurman, loved San Francisco. A mentor to Martin Luther King, Jr., and Pauli Murray, Thurman found in this city a special dynamism, a variety of people, and chance interactions that could be a gateway to transformation, individually and collectively, to resist racism, classism, and hardness of heart. In a time of climate crisis, what is love asking us to do? Spirituality and activism are not opposites—Thurman would often say they are complements. To sustain long-term work for change—whether challenging air pollution health risks, adapting to rising sea levels, cultivating food forests and community gardens, securing safe, affordable housing, or preparing renewable energies—requires vision, community, and time to "center down." Let's explore how personal spiritual practices may help inform our work for climate justice.  Rev.

The Rev. Winnie Varghese 10 a.m. Sunday, July 7, 2024

In this week's study, I continue in Chapter 18 with verses 14 to 19. Before I get into the study, I talk about House Speaker Mike Johnson and how he sold his soul to the devil. I inform the listeners who is political advisor Dan Ziegler is and his connections to the global elite through the lobbyist group of Williams and Jenson. Then I talk about the new 2024 Quarter with Dr. Pauli Murray's inscription on the backside. In our study this morning, The world's traders express their sad feelings at the loss of Babylon, the greatest city. Their attention at this time is entirely on the objects that they themselves traded with the city. The desire to own such things was all that the traders considered worthwhile in life. After the loss of the city, only despair remains. 14           And the fruits that thy soul lusted after = Literally, “the fruits of the desire of thy soul.” The word rendered “fruits” - ὀπώρα  op-ō-rah - properly means, “late summer; dog-days,” the time when Sirius, or the Dog-star, is predominant.Dainty = lip-ar-os' From λιπος lipos (grease); fat, that is, (figuratively) sumptuous: - dainty. Goodly = lam-pros' ; radiant; by analogy limpid; figuratively magnificent or sumptuous (in appearance) Departed = manuscripts read perishedThe reaction of the traders to the loss of Babylon is very similar to the reaction of the kings (verses 9-10). John continues to describe the event as if it were the funeral of a great queen. The world's kings were like her lovers, who joined her in wrong sex acts. The world's traders made themselves rich when they supplied the luxury of her palace. Now the queen is dead. Her greatness, the luxury of her life, and her evil acts have all ended. There can never be another queen like her. So the traders and the kings alike weep bitterly. 15   The merchants of these things = Who wheeled and dealed in these things, and who supplied the city with them, verse 11.Which = who Which were made rich by her = By wheeling and dealing with her. Shall stand afar off = verse10  For fear of her torment = Struck with terror by her torment, so that they did not dare to approach her, verse 10.Wailing = Greek ‘mourning' I find it interesting here. The focus of their weeping and of their mourning is not over the millions who will perish in that city.  It is not over even their own impending doom and the destiny of their souls. But it is over the loss of potential wealth.  It is amazing, isn't it? This is truly the character, the picture of an idolater. Satan knows the foolishness of our hearts. He is the father of lies. He is the typical deceiver.  Think about it. He is the one who could go to Adam and Eve and present a lie to them that is much unlikely, the idea that if you eat of the fruit, you shall be as gods. And yet they fell for it. Now, these were not stupid people.  How could they fall for it?  Certainly not because it is believable, not because it is reasonable, and it is credible and it is compelling. No, they fell for it because it was appealing to their flesh. Remember, they thought, oh, it is good for food, pleasant to the eyes, to be desired to make one wise. The third groups of people who express their sad feelings at the loss of Babylon are the seamen. They supplied Babylon with the rich and beautiful things that the traders sold. For the seamen, as for the traders, Babylon was therefore the source of great profits. Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh! Have any questions?

Journalist Josie Cox is a leading authority on the relationship between economics, business and gender. In this episode of Show Me the Way, the author of "Women, Money, Power: The Rise and Fall of Economic Equality" talks about the history of women's fight for economic emancipation and the barriers to gender equality that still exist today. We discuss the untold stories of female financial pioneers, sexism in the workplace and how Covid has impacted the gender pay gap. Despite the harrowing reality of the data, Josie's book is a call to action to unite in collective effort against gender inequality and create a fairer, better workplace for us and for future generations. As she tells me, “the book I wrote is called ‘Women, Money, Power'- but it's not a book that is for women, it is a book that is for everyone".

Today's poem is Without Name by Pauli Murray. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. This week, in honor of Valentine's Day, we're revisiting some of our favorite episodes on love. This episode was originally released on November 21, 2023.In this episode, Major writes… “Today, words lead me to pockets of understanding, which I've carefully cultivated through writing poetry. The journey to insights and those momentary stays against confusion are often filled with inarticulate, wayward wanderings and long stretches of speechlessness. Part of my love of poetry is owed to how it stages eloquence and puts a finishing touch on the thing that I finally needed to say. But, on occasion, we find silence as a vessel of our innermost feelings. Today's poem illustrates how, when language is muted, strong emotions such as love and desire are amplified — and echo into a future without end.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

February is black history month, an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans, and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history and, importantly, in the women's equality movement. African American women have too often been overlooked in the history of our fight for gender equity. This episode honors and quotes many brilliant, brave, black women who fought to create a fairer and more equitable world. These words have tremendous power and impact including the important work of Kimberlé Crenshaw who coined the phrase intersectionality. Crenshaw simply and poignantly said, "If we aren't intersectional, some of us, the most vulnerable, are going to fall through the cracks." This is at the heart of Together We Rise, bringing to the forefront that we must consider all women when we talk about advancing women. As Audra Lord said, “I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.” #tunein and celebrate #blackhistorymonth and honor the insights of so many brilliant black women including Sojourner Truth, Shirley Chisholm, Bell Hooks, Pauli Murray, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Rebecca Walker, Audre Lorde, Angela Davis, Dr. Maya Angelou, and more!

We talk about the differences and similarities between those two worlds (hint: one of them sounds more fun), the films that helped shape their sensibilities, and their films RBG, Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down, about the former Congresswoman's recovery from an assassination attempt, and My Name Is Pauli Murray, about the non-binary lawyer who played a key role in the civil rights movement.Julie Cohen's 2023 film, Every Body, premiered at Tribeca and was released theatrically by Focus Features. Called “a master class in how a documentary should be done” by The Boston Globe, it tells of three courageous intersex people who've overcome shame and secrecy to become their true selves. Betsy West is a filmmaker, journalist, and professor emerita at the Columbia Journalism School. A 21-time Emmy Award winner, she served as executive producer of the ABC News documentary series Turning Point and as VP of News at CBS, where she oversaw 60 Minutes and 48 Hours.

The fight for gender, race and equality has many known historical figures. Yet those figures often say it was the work of Pauli Murray that helped guide and inspire them. Murray's niece Ms. Rosita Stevens-Holsey is the co-author of “Pauli Murray: The Life of a Pioneering Feminist and Civil Rights Activist”. She joins Tavis to examine Murray's trailblazing life fighting for civil rights.

Today's poem is Without Name by Pauli Murray. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Today, words lead me to pockets of understanding, which I've carefully cultivated through writing poetry. The journey to insights and those momentary stays against confusion are often filled with inarticulate, wayward wanderings and long stretches of speechlessness. Part of my love of poetry is owed to how it stages eloquence and puts a finishing touch on the thing that I finally needed to say. But, on occasion, we find silence as a vessel of our innermost feelings. Today's poem illustrates how, when language is muted, strong emotions such as love and desire are amplified — and echo into a future without end.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Today, we have an exciting new episode of the Passing Judgment podcast where we're joined by Dahlia Lithwick, senior legal correspondent at Slate and author of the book "Lady Justice". In this episode, we explore a range of intriguing topics, from the court's centrist decisions and its challenges to regulatory agencies, to the crucial cases that will shape the future of the First Amendment and technology. And don't miss out on our exploration of Georgia legends Sally Yates and Stacey Abrams, their divergent paths in the legal system, and the disparities in access that still persist today.Here are three key takeaways from the episode:1️⃣ The episode highlights the impactful work of Stacey Abrams, who fought against voter suppression and created a successful model for other states. This is a reminder that grassroots efforts are integral in shaping our democracy.2️⃣ We explore the incredible legacy of Pauli Murray, a constitutional hero who played a pivotal role in shaping the thinking about the 14th Amendment. Murray's contribution often goes unrecognized, underscoring the importance of acknowledging the work of unrecognized individuals who fight tirelessly for equality and justice. It's a reminder that progress is driven by nameless heroes.3️⃣ We discussed the impact of prominent lawyers like Roberta Kaplan, whose high-profile lawsuits have brought about significant legal victories.Follow Our Guest:On X formerly known as Twitter: @DahliaLithwick.Follow Our Host:On X formerly known as Twitter: @LevinsonJessica

At the Third National Conference of Commissions on the Status of Women, a group of women, led by writer Betty Friedan and organizer and attorney Pauli Murray, decided that to make progress they needed to form an independent national civil rights organization for women. Within months, the National Organization for Women had 300 founding members, a slate of officers, and a statement of purpose. By 1974, NOW boasted 40,000 members in over 700 chapters, and today NOW claims hundreds of thousands of members in all 50 states and DC, working toward equal rights for women and girls. Joining me to discuss the history of NOW is Dr. Katherine Turk, Associate Professor of History and Adjunct Associate Professor of Women's and Gender Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and author of The Women of Now: How Feminists Built an Organization That Transformed America.

We've talked about how important Haiti and Liberia were as symbols for Black Americans whether or not they ever went to either of the two Black countries. This episode is about those who went to Ghana - some by choice and some on the run. Ghanaian independence was a huge moment of Pan-African hope for a free Africa, and many Black Americans were fascinated by that prospect. Professor Kevin Gaines, author of American Africans in Ghana: Black Expatriates and the Civil Rights Era, is here to talk about the small group of Black Americans who visited or migrated to Ghana - figures like Maya Angelou, Pauli Murray, Julian Mayfield, and Malcolm X.And, similar to Liberia, the legacy of that era is a continued open invitation from Ghana to Black America.

Have you ever stopped to consider why the United States doesn't have an Equal Rights Amendment? Today's guest, Julie Suk, law professor and author, paints a compelling portrait of the 100-year battle for equal rights. Drawing from her profound books, We the Women, and After Misogyny: How the Law Fails Women and What to Do About It, we embark on an enlightening journey through the turbulent history of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and the power of collective female action.A key figure in our conversation is Liz Holtzman, the woman who challenged the stagnation of the ERA. We chart the inspiring stories of trailblazing women such as Abigail Adams and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and discuss the potential implications of late ERA ratifications, the politics behind the seven-year deadline, and the current interpretation of the ERA by the Supreme Court. Furthermore, we tackle how the lack of childcare and maternity leave contributes to ongoing gender inequality. As we navigate this complex terrain, Julie introduces the fascinating concept of an equal power model. Unlike the anti-discrimination model, this alternative has propelled women's empowerment on a global scale. We examine the potential impact of the ERA and the pioneering work of figures like Pauli Murray and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who have made strides in pushing forward the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. This episode is a rich tapestry of history, law, and feminist theory that will leave you hungry for more. Don't miss out on these powerful insights into the fight for equal rights.CLICK HERE TO GET JULIE'S BOOK WE THE WOMEN NOW!CLICK HERE TO GET JULIE'S BOOK AFTER MISOGYNY NOW!Tish and Ellen want to give a BIG thank you to everyone who helped support the show.  And, please support us with a monthly PATREON subscription and get a quarterly live  Q&A with Ellen and Tish.

Y'all loved the first one so much, we had to bring it back! Hosts jarrett hill and Tre'vell Anderson welcome writer, editor, and Stop Cop City activist Da'Shaun L. Harrison. Harrison also discusses why they and fellow activists are trying to block the development and construction of a police training compound “Cop City”, on the outskirts of Atlanta. Stop Cop City activists believe that going forward with the development would displace and disenfranchise the lives of marginalized people, and further perpetuate the police state we are currently living in.  In addition, they'll discuss how copaganda goes beyond just “cop shows” and legal dramas and can show up in many different forms in media. Later on the show, Tre'vell and jarrett get into some DisHonorable Mentions and a history lesson on civil rights activist Pauli Murray. Mentioned In This Episode:Pauli Murray Copaganda Stop Cop City DIS/Honorable Mentions: jh:HM: Well, I Laughed Podcast - the system was never designed for us to stop workingHM: See The Thing Is..Podcast - I'd rather work thru jealousy than work thru dishonesty” HM: Snoop Dogg, Doggyland Kid Hits, Affirmation SongHM: The Schomburg's marking time: Arts In The Age of IncarcerationTA:HM: The Hollywood Reporter and New York Times Envelope roundtable talk curators, particularly Lacey Rose.Plugs:Da'Shaun L.

When Academy Award®-nominated, Emmy®-winning filmmaker Julie Cohen (“RBG”, “My Name is Pauli Murray”) came across the NBC News archival footage of sexologist John Money and his patient David Reimer, she knew that this story had legs. But what she couldn't have anticipated is that this dark chapter in the history of gender identity would lead her toward what ultimately became her groundbreaking new documentary “Every Body” – a major new film about Intersex people.   Making her third visit to Top Docs (but her first without frequent filmmaking partner Betsy West), Julie joins Ken to discuss her celebration of people who identify as the “I” in LGBTQIA+. Who was John Money and why was his work on gender identity so consequential — and harmful? How did she connect with the three film's main participants, River Gallo, Alicia Roth Weigel and Sean Saifa Wall, and why did she choose to center the film around their stories? And in what ways are these three activists now leading the fight against unnecessary surgeries? With its focus on Intersex people and their long overdue fight for justice, “Every Body” is a film that “everybody” can and should embrace.   Released by Focus Features, “Every Body” is now in theaters everywhere.   Hidden Gem: “Hidden Letters”   Follow: @filmmakerjulie on Instagram and twitter @topdocspod on Instagram and twitter   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

So far, 27 people in the state have been indicted in connection with the effort to overturn the 2020 election on January 6th. No body of legislators has fought more fiercely to maintain Republican supermajority power in a demographically 50/50 state. On April 28, 2023, in a rare reversal of recent precedent, the new Republican majority on the North Carolina Supreme Court struck down a previous ruling that threw out gerrymandered voting maps. And in this term, the Supreme Court will decide on Moore v Harper, a case that could give state lawmakers unchecked power over how elections are held — and even who gets to vote. In this episode, Laura Flanders sits down with the NC Attorney General Josh Stein and Hilary Harris Klein, lead attorney on the North Carolina case along with veteran civil rights attorney and law professor, Irving L. Joyner to discuss what these cases mean for democracy and voters of color. What does a better vision of democracy look like? Durham is home to the Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice, named after the human rights activist whose work was integral to the Civil Rights Movement. Murray's legacy lives on today, inspiring organizers who are determined to "bring the promise of democracy to life," as Angela M. Thorpe, the center's Executive Director, puts it. Serena Sebring, the Executive Director of Blueprint NC, shares what's needed to build Murray's vision of a multiracial democracy. What's at stake? And who's pushing back? “North Carolinians do not want this gerrymandering . . . What the legislatures are trying to do here is not the people's business. It is their own political entrenchment.” - Hilary Harris Klein“You had 30 African Americans in the North Carolina General Assembly and all of that came crashing down in 2010 with the election of Republicans . . . Their first order of business was to attack the success that we had had in building up African American political power.” - Irving L. Joyner“It's not just Raleigh, it's not just Charlotte. It's not even just Durham that matters, but it is Columbus County, it is Pasquotank Country. It is all of the people of North Carolina who must be welcomed into a democracy, if it is to be what it says it is.” - Serena Sebring“This legislature has been elected time and time again under unconstitutional maps . . . It's not a surprise they have these powers, because that's what they've done, is manipulate [voting maps] to their advantage.” - Josh Stein“I think Pauli Murray would be incredibly concerned with the way legislatures and states across the US are working to strip people, particularly Black people, of their voting rights.” - Angela M.

February is black history month, an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans, and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. African American women have too often been overlooked in the history of our fight for gender equity. The struggle against racism, sexism, and all other-isms. All must be addressed simultaneously. This episode honors and quotes many brilliant, brave, black women who fought and fight, to create a fairer and more equitable world. Don't miss this episode with the wisdom and inspiration of so many brilliant black women who have provided so much wisdom. These words have tremendous power and impact like the important work of Kimberlé Crenshaw who coined the phrase intersectionality. Crenshaw simply and poignantly said, "If we aren't intersectional, some of us, the most vulnerable, are going to fall through the cracks." This is at the heart of together we rise, bringing to the forefront that we must consider layers of oppression when we talk about advancing ALL women. As Audra Lord said, “I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.” Celebrate black history month and honor the many insights of so many brilliant black women including Sojourner Truth, Shirley Chisholm, Bell Hooks, Pauli Murray, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Audre Lorde, Angela Davis, Dr. Maya Angelou and more!   References: Hooks, B.

That's the subject of “Angola Do You Hear Us? Voices From a Plantation Prison," a new MTV documentary directed and edited by Cinque Northern (My Name is Pauli Murray) and produced by Catherine Gund. Award-winning actress and writer, Liza Jessie Peterson, (HBO's Def Poetry, Ava Duvernay's 13th), whose one-woman show was shut down that day, and Norris Henderson, a former inmate who'd worked with her to bring the show, join Laura to reflect on the intersection of art and politics, incarceration and economics, and the work of VOTE, the criminal justice reform group Henderson founded upon his release. What difference can a play make? Watch and see.Full research and reading list to further delve into the conversation is available here on Patreon.

Happy New Year. It's so good to be back with you. Often on At Liberty, we detail what is happening in the field of civil rights and public interest law, from an issue perspective. This week we're doing something a little different. We're highlighting the people behind that work, specifically the contributions of women and non-binary people to the movement of resistance law. Women weren't always allowed to be lawyers. In fact, in 1873, the U.S. Supreme Court said that women had no constitutional right to practice law. Thanks to women who fought back, that is no longer our reality. And actually, it's quite the opposite. Women are now seen, celebrated and remembered at the highest levels of the practice. This advancement is due to the work of hidden figures throughout history, like Pauli Murray, for example, who you'll hear more about today. We're sharing a conversation between two women lawyers. ACLU's very own senior staff attorney, Gillian Thomas, is in conversation with Dahlia Lithwick, legal journalist and author of the new book Lady Justice. Together, they discuss Dahlia's new book that traces the history of women in law and highlights the work of women lawyers, most notably since 2016, who've taken up the mantle to fight back against injustice that oppresses the most marginalized and threatens all of us. Dahlia argues that in a constitutional democracy, like our own power is for the taking and that women have heeded that call and stepped into their arena to fight.

Like, ‘Oh, she's talking about me. That was similar to my circumstance.' The bigger picture of the prison industrial complex, they got it. That this is a plantation by every definition of a plantation, you're working the field from sun up to sun down.” - Norris Henderson“The time I spent with the incarcerated adolescent boys at Rikers Island really ignited something in me . . . I couldn't understand why more artists were not ringing the alarm and screaming about this human rights crisis.” - Liza Jessie PetersonGuests:Norris Henderson: Founder & Executive Director, VOTE (Voice of the Experienced)Liza Jessie Peterson: Writer, Actress, Poet, Educator; Playwright & Performer, The Strange Patriot Help us kick off this holiday season with your good vibrations!  Here at the Laura Flanders Show we rely on you, our hive of listeners, to buzz about the show!  Hit the subscribe button for this podcast, if you haven't already,  and if you're subscribed via apple podcasts, please rate us and write a review.   Thanks in advance to all you busy bees for buzzing about the show and helping us grow!  We are listener supported media, become a member today! https://Patreon.com/theLFShow

W.E.B. DuBois. Maya Angelou. Stockley Carmichael. Pauli Murray.  These are just a few names of prominent Black activists who moved to the motherland during their lifetimes. For them, moving to Africa presented an opportunity to redefine their relationship with America and their African identities. It significantly shaped their self-view. Strengthened connections to their ancestral roots. Sparked a new understanding of what it felt like to be HOME.  In the 21st century, while vacationing on the shores of Zanzibar, our guest - put the wayward thoughts of many into practice, excavating her life in California to sow roots in Nairobi. Toddré DaLaura Monier is a culture and wellness writer committed to inclusion and sustainability.
