In response to the murder of Philando Castile, some of his classmates from Central High School have annually held an event to honor the memory of Philando and we talked to Adrian Perryman one of the organizers of this great event about the story behind it and some of the activities taking place to honor his memory.  

On the evening of July 6, 2016, Valerie Castile was sleeping in her bedroom, exhausted after a long road trip back home from a family reunion in St. Louis. Just after 9 p.m. she was awakened by her daughter, who shared harrowing news about Philando, Castile's 32-year-old son. “She told me that Philando was on Facebook dying,” Castille recalled. “So, that's how I found out.” Her daughter watched her moaning, bleeding brother on a Facebook Live stream, as it was captured in real-time by his girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds. The video showed a traffic stop in which St. Anthony Police Officer Jeronimo Yanez held a gun on Castile and Reynolds, only seconds after shooting Castile in front of Reynolds and her four-year-old daughter. Yanez would later tell investigators that he feared for his life and thought Castile was pulling out a gun, not the ID that he asked for. On the officer's body camera video, Castile — who was legally carrying a gun — can be heard saying he was not pulling his firearm out. Yanez fired the shots seconds later.  Castile says she still questions Yanez's explanation. “He stuck that gun in that car and shot my son while he was seat-belted in the car and had a woman and a child in the car,” Castile said. “What would make you afraid of a Black family?” A jury acquitted Yanez of criminal charges in 2017. It's been six years since Castile's death and the later acquittal of Yanez, which sparked enthusiastic protests and calls for change across the nation. Evan Frost | MPR News 2021 Valerie Castile, mother of Philando Castile, speaks about his son's life, death, and legacy during a press conference on the five-year anniversary of his death in St. Paul. “He's magnified and amplified a lot of the problems within the country,” Castile said of her late son. She believes that his killing exposed police brutality and racial disparities and differences in how Americans who are licensed to carry weapons are treated. “It made the world stand still,” she said. “It uncovered a plague.” Though the incident unfolded while classes were out for the summer, the news of Philando Castile's death quickly traveled across the network of parents of the nearly 400 children at J.J. Hill Montessori School where Castile worked. He was the school's beloved cafeteria supervisor — affectionately known as Mr. Phil. The people who knew him best say Castile had a knack for connecting with all students, but especially special needs students and students of color. As one parent of a J.J. Hill student said: “People knew him from his smile, before they even knew his name.” Another parent called him “Mr. Rogers with dreadlocks.” Before he was killed, Castile had been stopped by police in the Twin Cities at least 52 times and issued citations for minor offenses such as not wearing a seatbelt and speeding, but never for any serious crimes.  Maria Alejandra Cardona | MPR News file J.J. Hill Montessori School in St. Paul, Minn., is the school Philando Castile worked as a cafeteria supervisor. Many J.J. Hill students, including those who knew Castile and are now in middle school and high school, say the killing and the acquittal inspired a stronger commitment to social justice within them. Fourteen-year-old Naomi Carter, who attended J.J. Hill in pre-K and kindergarten, is now an eighth-grader at Capitol Hill Magnet in St. Paul. There, she's part of a student leadership group called “Where Everyone Belongs” and treasurer of the Black Student Union. She said the killing of Castile has helped inspire her to become a lawyer one day. “I never really said I wanted to be a lawyer until after it happened with Philando Castile. And I held onto that for a long time,” she said. “So, eventually after it happened to George Floyd, then I started thinking about it again. Being a lawyer would really help this because a lot of these cases don't get tried, and they don't get justice. If I became a lawyer, then I could try these cases.” Valerie Castile said she is encouraged by the youth, both those who came through JJ Hill and beyond. “They're beginning to see what we've been saying all along,” she said. “And I can say technology has been instrumental in that.” Full coverage The death of Philando Castile and the trial of Jeronimo Yanez ChangeMakers Valerie and Allysza Castile, carrying on Philando's spirit 2021 Philando Castile's mother criticizes lack of progress in police accountability What should we cover next?

For the past five years, usually some time in August, members of the Flower Power Collective can be seen hauling buckets of flowers to the Indian Mounds Park in St. Paul. From sunrise to sundown, artists and community members carefully place flower after flower on the grass, working to create a vibrant art piece. Group members say their goal is to provide healing spaces for those who have been impacted by their criminal justice system. Whether they were incarcerated or knew someone who was, community members are encouraged to bring bouquets and share stories. “It just comes together in such a beautiful way. Like, there's just enough structure where we can still flow like water. That's that's the only way I can describe it,” said artist Bella Dawson, who joined the group in high school.Laura LeBlanc, who helped found the Flower Power collective, said it was born during protests after the police shooting of Jamar Clark – particularly because she wasn't there. “And I asked myself why I wasn't at the protests, because I believe in the protest deeply,” said LeBlanc, who formerly worked as an advocate for youth in the criminal justice system. Though she still doesn't have an answer, “what was clear to me was, we needed other spaces besides protests. We needed spaces where we build the world that we want to live in, that we're honoring the tragedy and not ignoring it. So that's what Flower Power is, is honoring the tragedy of that full continuum of the criminal justice complex.”The first flower display LeBlanc remembers doing was at Philando Castile's funeral. LeBlanc said the group started working  at 4:30 in the morning at the cathedral grounds, to avoid getting removed before their piece was finished. But they didn't get kicked out. Now, the group has a regular relationship with Philando's mother Valerie Castile, and creates flower arrangements for the yearly candlelight vigil she hosts for her son.Many of the Flower Power artists bring a passion for advocacy and social justice, said LeBlanc.  And for Dawson, the young artist, Flower Power provides a new kind of way to protest - one that doesn't necessarily mean taking to the streets. “At the end of the day,  if you're not right within here, within your heart, it's like, how are you showing up in the community?” asked Dawson. “We don't want a space like Flower Power to just be on that day. We want to be able to create spaces like this, where people can flow like water, and breathe and love and connect.”Fellow artist and roommate Sabrina Nur said that's exactly what Flower Power was able to do last summer at George Floyd Square: provide a space for people to breathe. “Because people are chanting, “I can't breathe” and like you're putting that into the universe, you know, so it's affecting you. People don't realize the words they say and the actions they do, how that affects you,” Nur said. “So we need spaces like Flower Power where we can breathe, we will breathe, we have the right to breathe.”The Flower Power collective is housed within the nonprofit Oyate Hotanin, which focuses on uplifting American Indian art and activism. The artists gather at the Indian Mounds Park due to their long fight to keep the area preserved and respected as a burial ground, said executive director Strong Buffalo. The grounds were where Dakota people used to bury their dead, along with their belongings. Today, only six of the dozens of the original burial mounds are still standing, as the others were destroyed by farming, housing and park development. “It was almost like our ancestors were imprisoned, too,” said Strong Buffalo. “Those Indian mounds have been burials for Indian people for probably about 10,000 years and has been inside of this city park in St. Paul for about 160 years without people really realizing that these are the remains of people.”The Flower Power Collective's next event at Mounds Park takes place on August 7 from sunrise to sundown.

In today's episode we are making a pause from our Deschooling Release Party Vol. 2. Akilah addresses anti-blackness and its consequences. These disruptive times are making us more aware and reflective, and we have so many reminders and invitations to be more present.WHAT WE DISCUSSIn the summer of 2016 Akilah was starting Fare Of The Free Child, a podcast with the purpose of amplifying the underrepresented voices and unique concerns of Black people and other people of color, looking for viable alternatives to oppressive systems, ways to practice more self-directed ways. This was also a result of the communications that were happening when Philando Castile and Alton Sterling were lynched by the police.Akilah shares her story about the first direct physical encounter with a violent police officer in her early teen years. This shows as a continuous pattern, Philando and Alton back in 2016, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd in 2020, history repeats itself. Akilah talks about how this gets her tired.It’s in the collective, in the stories of the unheard, of the ancestral knowledge, that we can hold on and speak out, inspire change and demand that shit, too. Live into it despite attempts to dehumanize and colonize.Mad Question-Askin’What are some ways that you are being supported right now?Where are some spaces or relationships that you are being supportive right now?Akilah shares some episodes that she believes can be supportive right now.LIBERATION WALKOrganizations like Metro Atlanta Mutual Aid Fund are organizing collective help for Atlanta’s BIPOC families affected by COVID-19 – Please donate.Here's Maleka, Melissa and Bria’s Deschooling Group.Deschooling: It’s A Thing!, an Eclectic Learning Network project, a global, monthly, virtual meetup for caregivers who are committed to explore ways to shift their parenting practices.Check out Akilah’s article, Fear of the Free Black Child – Alternatives to Fear-Based Parenting Amid Police Violence.Join our Facebook group.Pre-order Akilah’s book.In our Black and in broader BIPOC communities, self-care, community care, mental health care—the need and means to prioritizing these—are encouragingly increasing in conversation.

BIPOC people are so interested in healing, that we are discerning the ways that therapy and mental health support needs decolonization so that it isn’t harmful and IS in fact effective for us. In Akilah’s search for that, she has found that Betterhelp has been a great resource for her mental health.

Reporting Live From Minneapolis

I wanted to bring this encore conversation with Mothers Against Police Brutality’s Sara Mokuria in a week where so many of us have been grappling with the issue of police violence and what we can do about it. I know many of us have been searching for some action we can take about this issue and I want to encourage you to listen to this conversation with Sara Mokuria, one of the co-founders of Mothers Against Police Brutality. She will give you insight and advocacy steps from her own experience losing her father. And then, make a donation to Mothers Against Police Brutality, an organization that is seeking change by addressing policy and building police accountability, beginning in Texas but with nationwide impact. As you listen, I hope you’ll consider making a donation as well and I also challenge you to identify just one person who you can share this episode and this call to action with; together we can start to take steps in the direction of police accountability. Now here is my conversation with Sara Mokuria. ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES It’s an honor and responsibility to share this Episode #33 of the Mother’s Quest Podcast with Sara Mokuria, co-founder of Mothers Against Police Brutality. It’s the third and final in a series I recorded as part of the Women Podcasters in Solidarity Initiative and it comes to you with a call to action to get involved with this issue today. This episode was dedicated by Collette Flanagan, the founder of Mothers Against Police Brutality, who turned her grief from the loss of her son, Clinton Allen, into fuel for change. In her dedication, Collette reminded us of our common humanity as mothers and that an insult to one mother is an insult to all mothers. It is this knowing that caused me to record this series after I saw the heart-breaking video of Diamond Reynolds and her then four year old daughter after they witnessed the killing of Philando Castile. Philando was like a father to this little girl, was unarmed and was complying with the police officer’s requests when he was shot. Seeing the trauma and heartbreak endured by this four year old girl, who was the same age as my son when I saw this video, became a catalyst to face the epidemic of police brutality in our country, and to begin taking action, however imperfect. Much like Diamond Reynold’s daughter, Sara also endured trauma and heartbreak when she watched her father get shot and killed by police at her home in Dallas when she was 10 years old. Fueled by her own experience, Sara joined Collette along with another co-founder, John Fullinwider, in creating Mother’s Against Police Brutality, as a multi-racial, multi-ethnic coalition uniting mothers nationwide to fight for civil rights, police accountability and policy reform. Sara is a mom herself to a seven year old boy.  And, in addition to her work with Mothers Against Police Brutality, she’s a sought after educator, community organizer, project manager, and facilitator, currently working as Associate Director for Leadership Initiatives with The Institute for Urban Policy Research at the University of Texas at Dallas. She has two masters degrees, has taught both high school and college at the University of Texas at Dallas and currently serves on the International Mechanism Coordinating Committee for the US Human Rights Network. She came to the conversation with an open heart she told me, and I felt her generosity and honesty throughout as she shared how police violence changed her life forever, discussed the trauma of being black in America, how the institution of policing and the prison industrial complex contributes to that trauma, and the ways in which an investment in Mothers Against Police Brutality can change policies and systems to reduce violence and create more accountability. As compelling was Sara’s exploration of the vision she has for our future… of vibrant communities where we invest in our young people, lean into and value our differences, and where each of us taps into our own unique magic to get us there. We ended our conversation with a co-created prayer, a wish for ourselves as much as for all of you listening, to move into greater responsibility for this work from wherever we are, to have the courage to go to those difficult and painful places so we can create a freer future, and to take this moment right now to support this cause. I’m doing that today by making a financial contribution to Mothers Against Police Brutality and putting my resources with the mothers, like Sara and Collette, who are closest to the problem and who can see the solution. I hope you’ll join me.

This episode dedicated by Mothers Against Police Brutality founder Collette Flanagan, whose son, Clinton Allen, was shot and killed by the Dallas Police in March of 2013. Topics discussed in this episode Sara’s joyous childhood which changed forever when her father was killed by Dallas police officers when she was just 10 years old How Sara’s mother was her fiercest advocate, even as her mother grappled with the deeply traumatic effects of her husband’s killing and the lack of support as a crime victim. Disturbing facts about our current law enforcement policies, lack of accountability, the militarization of police, and budget allocations that favor the prison industrial complex over investments that would build a vibrant community The New Jim Crowe and the War on Drugs and how it has played out as a war on people of color White privilege and how to move from shame and guilt to responsibility and action How Sara teaches her son to understand injustice, the history we don’t learn in our schools, and how tenderness, love and joy can be an act of resistance What happened when Sara met with the officer who killed her father years later and how that shifted her perspective about what the problem really is How women make up half of the world’s population and how we birthed the other half, therefore we are the world. And, the power of mothers to chart the direction of our families and communities. The importance of finding your own unique magic to make a difference and why Sara keeps her heart open to welcome people to this cause when they come to it Our prayer and invitation to you the listener Resources mentioned in this episode Women Podcasters in Solidarity Mothers Against Police Brutality The Movie 13th, directed by Ava Duvernay The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander Drug Policy Alliance EP31: Brave Spaces and Solidarity with “Rad Women” Author Kate Schatz Ep 27: Courageous Conversations about Race with Nicole Lee Ep 07: Living Out Loud with Jenjii Hysten How the Irish Became White by Noel Ignatiev Dallas Woman Turns Tragedy Into Conversation About Race, an article where Sara talks about the system and not police officers being the problem Stride Toward Justice: 9 Steps to Change Policing in America – policy recommendations from Mothers Against Police Brutality The Movement for Black Lives Campaign Zero This Week’s Three-fold Challenge Have courageous conversation about these issues with your families during the holidays.

This Podcast is dedicated to George Floyd, It's also about Oscar. Aiyana. Trayvon. Rekia. Michael. Eric. Tamir. John. Ezell. Sandra. Freddie. Alton. Philando. It's even about that little boy in 1955 who nobody recognized at first—Emmett Till.. And everyone who has lost their lives at the hands of the oppressor people who take a vow to " PROTECT AND SERVED" their communities, however all they are doing is killing our people murderers with Badges. How much longer shall our people died in the hands of these Police officers? The Constitution gives you the right, as a white man, to have a rifle in your home. The Constitution gives you the right to protect yourself. Why is it ‘ominous' when black people even talk of having rifles? Why don't we have the right to self-defense? Is it because maybe you know we're going to have to defend ourselves against you? And lastly..... "Malcolm spent much of May speaking to large crowds at church meetings and Sunday rallies, repeatedly emphasizing that the Muslims were not at war with the police, but rather that the police were at war with the Black community as a whole". Well Malcolm X was right we are at war with Police Brutality, no accountability for their actions and getting away with murdered!!!.. R.I.P. to all my brothers and sisters.

In the summer of 2016, a police shooting would spark protests all across America. Philando Divall Castile was a 32-year-old African American man that lived in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. A model citizen, Philando also had a concealed carry permit, which legally allowed him to carry a handgun. On July 6th, Philando was pulled over while driving by St. Anthony Police Officer Jeronimo Yanez, who believed that Philando matched the description of a local robbery suspect. Despite being well-documented in audio and video form, the precious moments after Philando was pulled over remain highly contested...

I’ll be back in two weeks with a new episode, but I wanted to bring this encore conversation with Mothers Against Police Brutality’s Sara Mokuria in a week where so many of us have been grappling with the issue of police violence and what we can do about it. This week, our consciousness has been focused on the tragic deaths of two black people, Botham Jean and Atiana Jefferson, who were murdered in their own homes by police officers. Botham was in his own apartment when an off duty police officer shot and killed him, allegedly mistaking him for an intruder in her own apartment. Recently, the woman who killed him was sentenced to only 10 years in prison for his killing. Atiana Jefferson, who was playing video games with her nephew in her own home at the time, was murdered when an officer sent to the house by a neighbor because of an open door, immediately shot and killed Atiana instead of checking on her wellbeing. I know many of us have been searching for some action we can take about this issue and I want to encourage you to do two things: first listen to this conversation with Sara Mokuria, one of the co-founders of Mothers Against Police Brutality. She will give you insight and advocacy steps from her own experience losing her father. And then, make a donation to Mothers Against Police Brutality, an organization that is seeking change by addressing policy and building police accountability, beginning in Texas but with nationwide impact. Inspired by my last conversation with trust-based philanthropy thought leader Pia Infante, our family committed to an ongoing monthly donation to support their work over time, and made the donation in honor of two men who lost their lives to police violence over the last year in my own area, Chinedu Okobi and Miles Hall. As you listen, I hope you’ll consider making a donation as well and I also challenge you to identify just one person who you can share this episode and this call to action with; together we can start to take steps in the direction of police accountability.

On July 6, 2016, Philando Castile was shot and killed by a police officer during a traffic stop in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. In the weeks and months that followed, systemic issues that had been present below the surface in Falcon Heights and surrounding cities erupted into the open. The atmosphere was one of rage, pain, resentment, and distrust. In some ways, this was an unlikely setting for constructive dialogue that had any chance of rebuilding the community. And yet, that is the story that we hear in Episode 3 of "Thanks for Listening". We meet John Thompson, Philando’s close friend, who talks about his own activism after the shooting, and what happened when he became involved in a series of facilitated conversations that brought together citizens, activists, city leaders, and police officers. We also hear from Sharon Press, who pulls back the curtain on these conversations and explains how she and others went about the hard work of organizing them in order to create opportunities for healing. Almost three years to the day after Philando was shot, John and Sharon reflect on their personal journeys, their unexpected friendship with one another, and how their communities have changed.

In this hour, Jearlyn tackles the issue of school lunch debt and the impact that has on schoolkids.  She looks at ways to combat this problem in two ways.  Mary Cathryn Ricker, Commissioner of MN Department of Education, tells us what the state is doing.  After that, Valerie Castile discusses how the foundation named after her son (Philando) is helping those families in need.

5.17.19 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Joe Biden takes heat over the '94 crime bill; Philando Castile's mom wipes out school lunch debt; A NYPD supervisor called the death of Eric Garner "not a big deal"; DC Mayor Murial Bowser is not feeling Trump's plans for the 4th of of July; Middle school teacher in Minnesota is on leave for using the N-word with her students; Calif. mom puts her daughter's bullies on notice; + Picking up trash while Black and the author of 'Hair Love'.

It's Palm Sunday! That's when Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem, and the people laid palm branches and cloaks down in his path and shouted, "Hail, King of the Jews!" The following week the people turned on him, and he was crucified and killed. BTW: That Nipsey Hussle / YG song "FDT" is duuuuumb. Trump spoke nothing but love and truth. They rap nothing but hate and lies. It reminds me of this 2016 incident after the election when the blacks beat up a white man who voted for Trump, after a fender bender (I believe they were at-fault, not the white man). SEE MORE HERE: https://youtu.be/msOhC5ituSY LEFTIST VIOLENCE COMPILATION ("Progressive" David Pakman in Denial) Ilhan Omar and AOC are sympathy-fishing and inciting hate against the right by claiming victim of "death threats." Dan Crenshaw called the former out over her description of 9/11 as "some people did something." LOL She called it "dangerous incitement." Speaking of "dangerous" truth speech, I was thinking about my convo with Joe on Thursday 4/11/19 show, he claimed Jesse talking about "most blacks" was untrue and posed a "danger" to him personally and other nice, well-meaning blacks like him! SMH victim-mentality! Lies! Low standards! I'm gonna try to explain more. It's popular to hate police now — Valerie Castile hoped for the death of the former cop who killed her son Philando. The evil genius of immigration...? I might get to this. I got an interesting text from BGTG about anxiety, b-ball, Jerry West, after my talk about Kyle Guy, the NCAA star.

In this episode we debate the Philando Castile vs Stephon Clarke shootings. Were they Racist or Prejudice, and are the police 100% wrong in both cases??

We look back on an NFL season dominated by politics and protest, and ask if the player protests have failed and how significant the issue is that prompted Colin Kaepernick's campaign in the first place - police brutality, and why Minneapolis–Saint Paul was such an apposite location for this year's Super Bowl... Killed on Facebook: Why I joined the police after my nephew was killed by an officer As well as the home of this year’s Super Bowl, Minneapolis–Saint Paul was also the home of Philando Castile, whose death, at the hand of a police officer, was streamed on Facebook Live by his girlfriend, who was in the car along with her four-year-old child. We meet his mother Valerie, who tells us about that fateful day and her anger at what has happened since. We also speak to Clarence, Philando’s uncle, who despite everything, has recently joined the police force! He tells us why. Kaepernick in the Community Although he hasn’t played this season, Colin Kaepernick has been plenty busy. He has spent the year donating his time, energy and $1m of his own money to community charities. We visit one of them. The Lower Eastside Girls Club is a community-based project empowering girls and women to achieve their goals and to create the next generation of community-minded leaders. We hear from three teenage girls, who are regulars at the club, about the significance of Colin Kaepernick’s message, profile, and support. Turning A New Page Alan Page is a former Minnesotan Supreme Court Justice, activist, philanthropist - and he just happens to be one of the greatest American footballers to ever play the game. As a defensive tackle, he stood up to enormous physical pressure, while off the field he made a point of speaking his mind. He will be honoured on the field at Sunday's Super Bowl, and showed us around his new exhibition of artifacts from the Jim Crow era. He has some powerful advice to the modern-day athlete activist. Have the Player Protest failed? We hear from black conservative Shelby Steele on why he believes the protests have failed and how the players are misguided and wrong to do it in the first place. The Cost of Speaking out Colin Kaepernick is not the first player to claim to have had his career shortened because of a willingness to speak out on social issues. Chris Kluwe had a highly-successful career with the Minnesota Vikings, until he was released for what he claims were off-field reasons. In 2013, he strongly vocalised his support for same-sex marriage and in 2014 he says he was cut from the Vikings team because of it.

It’s an honor and responsibility to share this Episode #33 of the Mother’s Quest Podcast with Sara Mokuria, co-founder of Mothers Against Police Brutality. It’s the third and final in a series I recorded as part of the Women Podcasters in Solidarity Initiative and it comes to you with a call to action to get involved with this issue today.  This episode was dedicated by Collette Flanagan, the founder of Mothers Against Police Brutality, who turned her grief from the loss of her son, Clinton Allen, into fuel for change.  In her dedication, Collette reminded us of our common humanity as mothers and that an insult to one mother is an insult to all mothers. It is this knowing that caused me to record this series after I saw the heart-breaking video of Diamond Reynolds and her then four year old daughter after they witnessed the killing of Philando Castile. Philando was like a father to this little girl, was unarmed and was complying with the police officer’s requests when he was shot. Seeing the trauma and heartbreak endured by this four year old girl, who was the same age as my son when I saw this video, became a catalyst to face the epidemic of police brutality in our country, and to begin taking action, however imperfect.  Much like Diamond Reynold’s daughter, Sara also endured trauma and heartbreak when she watched her father get shot and killed by police at her home in Dallas when she was 10 years old.  Fueled by her own experience, Sara joined Collette along with another co-founder, John Fullinwider, in creating Mother’s Against Police Brutality, as a multi-racial, multi-ethnic coalition uniting mothers nationwide to fight for civil rights, police accountability and policy reform.  Sara is a mom herself to a seven year old boy.  And, in addition to her work with Mothers Against Police Brutality, she’s a sought after educator, community organizer, project manager, and facilitator, currently working as Associate Director for Leadership Initiatives with The Institute for Urban Policy Research at the University of Texas at Dallas. She has two masters degrees, has taught both high school and college at the University of Texas at Dallas and currently serves on the International Mechanism Coordinating Committee for the US Human Rights Network.  She came to the conversation with an open heart she told me, and I felt her generosity and honesty throughout as she shared how police violence changed her life forever, discussed the trauma of being black in America, how the institution of policing and the prison industrial complex contributes to that trauma, and the ways in which an investment in Mothers Against Police Brutality can change policies and systems to reduce violence and create more accountability.  As compelling was Sara’s exploration of the vision she has for our future... of vibrant communities where we invest in our young people, lean into and value our differences, and where each of us taps into our own unique magic to get us there.  We ended our conversation with a co-created prayer, a wish for ourselves as much as for all of you listening, to move into greater responsibility for this work from wherever we are, to have the courage to go to those difficult and painful places so we can create a freer future, and to take this moment right now to support this cause.  I’m doing that today by making a financial contribution to Mothers Against Police Brutality and putting my resources with the mothers, like Sara and Collette, who are closest to the problem and who can see the solution.

This episode dedicated by: Mothers Against Police Brutality founder Collette Flanagan, whose son, Clinton Allen, was shot and killed by the Dallas Police in March of 2013.    Topics discussed in this episode: Sara’s joyous childhood which changed forever when her father was killed by Dallas police officers when she was just 10 years old How Sara’s mother was her fiercest advocate, even as her mother grappled with the deeply traumatic effects of her husband’s killing and the lack of support as a crime victim. Disturbing facts about our current law enforcement policies, lack of accountability, the militarization of police, and budget allocations that favor the prison industrial complex over investments that would build a vibrant community The New Jim Crowe and the War on Drugs and how it has played out as a war on people of color White privilege and how to move from shame and guilt to responsibility and action How Sara teaches her son to understand injustice, the history we don’t learn in our schools, and how tenderness, love and joy can be an act of resistance What happened when Sara met with the officer who killed her father years later and how that shifted her perspective about what the problem really is How women make up half of the world’s population and how we birthed the other half, therefore we are the world. And, the power of mothers to chart the direction of our families and communities. The importance of finding your own unique magic to make a difference and why Sara keeps her heart open to welcome people to this cause when they come to it Our prayer and invitation to you the listener Resources mentioned in this episode: Women Podcasters in Solidarity Mothers Against Police Brutality The Movie 13th, directed by Ava Duvernay The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander Drug Policy Alliance EP31: Brave Spaces and Solidarity with “Rad Women” Author Kate Schatz Ep 27: Courageous Conversations about Race with Nicole Lee Ep 07: Living Out Loud with Jenjii Hysten How the Irish Became White by Noel Ignatiev Dallas Woman Turns Tragedy Into Conversation About Race, an article where Sara talks about the system and not police officers being the problem Stride Toward Justice: 9 Steps to Change Policing in America - policy recommendations from Mothers Against Police Brutality The Movement for Black Lives Campaign Zero This Week’s Three-fold Challenge: Have courageous conversation about these issues with your families during the holidays.

Paula Mielke lives in Falcon Heights, Minnesota--where Philando Castile was murdered by a police officer. She had never before considered herself an activist, but after Philando's death, she got to work. She and her team organized protests, petition drives, and vigils. They've also met weekly and attended every city council meeting in the year since Philando's murder. Now, Paula's running for city council herself.

Salt and Barks sit down with the good brother Maurice Coffee. With the Philando trial verdict a couple days prior, cincy trial; we really just needed to vent. A more serious side, but still savage in the worse way.

The car Castile was driving became a central piece of evidence in the case. It was towed away by authorities, photographed for the investigation.The things in his car, when you look through them, are all about another: Another dinner. Another day at work. Another flat tire. Another winter.

Chris Cyr the holder of the empire that is stlouiscomedy.com , a place for all comedians to find out about all the shows and comedy opportunities that exist in the St. Louis metro area.  Chris is a very funny man who joins Mark and Jason on this weeks episode of the show.   First up Mark and the guys discuss something that is not on the agenda.  Because of June being PRIDE month, Mark brings back his whole "You don't need to make sure everyone knows you're gay argument".  He loves the LGBTQ community, but the constant need to talk about it and promote it with rainbows seems like overkill.  Then they move on to Trump and the AHCA along with discussing gun rights and the Philando Castile dash cam video.  This leads to internet troll Mark Dice being brought up and discussed on the show.  All this and much more on this episode.

We touch on what's going on with Lonzo Ball being drafted as well as the state of the NBA, we get into some road rage stories and then get serious about the tragedy of Philando Castile. Cole joins the podcast to sub in for Ave and we give Ave a call to touch bases.

On July 6, 2016, Philando Castile was fatally shot by Jeronimo Yanez, a St. Anthony, Minnesota, police officer, after being pulled over in Falcon Heights, a suburb of St. Paul. Castile was in a car with his girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, and her four-year-old daughter when he was pulled over by Yanez and another officer. On November 16, 2016, John Choi, the Ramsey County Attorney, announced that Yanez was being charged with three felonies: one count of second-degree manslaughter and two counts of dangerous discharge of a firearm. Choi said, "I would submit that no reasonable officer knowing, seeing, and hearing what Officer Yanez did at the time would have used deadly force under these circumstances." Yanez was acquitted of all charges on June 16, 2017. The same day, he was fired by the City of St. Anthony

In this episode, we talk about Philando, Charleena, and our disgust of the police as a whole. We also discuss Outkast, Singles we used to have, old commercials and more. Enjoy.

Also for Trayvon, Sandra, Kathryn, Sean, Eric, Rekia, Philando, Amadou, Mike, Kimani, Kenneth, Travares, Tamir, Aiyana, and Freddie. Next, I have to let you know that I don't believe in God, I don't believe Jesus Christ existed and died for our sins, and I don't believe the Bible is the word of God. Now that pastor Ellen is questioning why she let me preach today and some of the congregation may be in shock, let me explain. These statements aren't true right now and not true most of the time, but I have my moments of doubt when I truly feel I don't believe. Many people may find that strange and question what type of Christian I am with such doubt, but I can tell you there is one that loves me and supports me no matter how much I doubt, and that is God. God loves me for who I am, a doubting sinning gay male Christian. We all fall short of perfection no matter how hard we try, but God still loves us. It is because of this love that, especially in my darkest moments, I continually return to God. That is the beauty of God's love - it knows no bounds and is unlimited. God loves all. Period, end of statement, no exclusions. God may not love some of our actions, but even with those actions, God loves us deep down and wants us to be reconciled together. God's unbounded love allows us to enjoy the beauty of diversity. If God loves all, then how can we not also love all. While pastors and others with education on the bible can easily find and quote scripture or other people's analysis of scripture, I turn to something I know and love - Star Trek. From an episode of The Original Series, Miranda says “The glory of creation is in its infinite diversity.” to which Spock responds, “And the way our differences combine to create meaning and beauty.” This reflects the basis for Vulcan philosophy, IDIC or Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. You can also think of diversity by thinking of a piano or other musical instrument. A piano has 88 keys for 88 notes. That is all, just 88 different notes. It doesn't take long to play them one at a time and the end result isn't all that interesting. It is when you combine them in various ways, chords, rhythms, dynamics, etc. that you create a very diverse sound. Think about all the songs that have been written and played over the years. No two exactly alike - all from 88 little notes. Each of us has various aspects about who we are - our age, gender identity, marital status, race, height, weight, education, and so many more. There are many that are the same age as us, the same gender, same education background, etc. However, it is the very unique combination in each of us, that makes us a special unique child of God. No one else is exactly like us, but yet we are all alike in that God loves us exactly how we are. As I said before - God loves all. Period, end of statement. I'm going to take a little sidebar here to explain something you'll find the service during the prayers. You'll notice that our normal response to the prayers isn't “Hear our prayer.” but instead, “Receive our prayer.” I first remember hearing this response at our recent synod assembly and also at the worship service we had yesterday as part of the Lutherans Always Reforming synod event at University Lutheran. Our synod's Bishop - Craig Satterlee explains it best when he says “The deaf community said to me, what does it say to us when we talk about God hearing our prayer when many deaf people don't hear of course and they don't speak their prayers, they might silently make them.” Bishop Satterlee asked them what they suggested instead of Hear our prayer, and they said to use Receive our prayer. This is one of many ways we can minorly tweak a worship service to help be more inclusive to allow people to more easily feel God's love for them. Another example is to use the phrase “siblings in Christ” instead of “brothers and sisters in Christ” since some people don't identify as either male or female so they might struggle viewing themselves as a brother or a sister. So, now we know God loves us, what do we do? We are called to share God's love with others. Today's gospel says “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” So just as Jesus saw this and called the disciples, we are being called to go out to the world being a shepherd and to spread the good news of God's love for all. While all deserve to hear the message of God's love, reality is there are certain communities of people where the message needs to be shared louder and harder as they have and continue to struggle to believe that there is a loving and caring God out there for them, since so often society and sometimes churches tell them the complete opposite. This brings me back to the list of names I dedicated this message to. These are the 49 people who were murdered about one year ago in Orlando, most of them part of the LBGTQ community and most Latinx. Also the 13 (that we know of) transgender individuals who have been killed this year, and a list of some black people that people feel were killed unjustly. It is because of these and the hundreds and thousands more people whose lives end too early simply because of who they are, that we must hear God's summons to us to spread the message of love and peace. These people and many other people struggle knowing that God's love is real, because society around them often tells them they aren't loved because of some aspect of their diverse nature. In fact, growing up I struggled greatly with the duality of my personality - being gay and being a Christian. For the longest time I lived almost two separate lives because I could not reconcile the two worlds together in my mind. Living in the Upper Peninsula and the silence from the church didn't help matters. When I turned to the bible for help that really didn't help matters either. When reading Leviticus 18:22 “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.” I thought that the notes provided would help me understand and reconcile how this pertains to my life and feelings, but I was wrong, since the notes said “Several abominations, or wicked actions, are listed here: …. Having homosexual relations…. Society today takes some of these practices lightly, even trying to make them acceptable. But they are still sins in God's eyes. If you consider them acceptable, you are not judging by God's standards.” This is why we as individuals and we as Faith Lutheran Church and we as the universal Christian church are called to share God's love - people need to know that their creator loves them unconditionally and wants to be in relationship with them. I must say, that when reading through today's bulletin, I am very pleased with how we share God's love through our actions to all kinds of diverse people. We serve the young through VBS, we serve the more life-experienced people through our 60 +/- group, we serve the economically less fortunate through the Arrow Tree Food Pantry, we serve those who care for others with our caregiver support group, we care for those with physical or mental concerns by providing worship services at the Willows and the Dobie Road center, we care for people of all races with events planned by our forum planning team, and through today, our welcoming statement, and the RIC designation we show that we care and love all God's children - no questions asked. Now, why do we do this? Well, to summarize, we do it because we are Christians who are Lutheran. The start of the 2nd reading today gives us a big hint as well, “Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God.” A few years ago, I was having a conversation with someone about why I did so much for the church and the community - the conversation lead to doing good works to gain favor with God. I said “No, that isn't why I do it, we don't need good works to get into heaven.” They then asked me what motivated me to do this if it wasn't required. I said, which I think is a good summary of the core Lutheran belief (Pastor can correct me later if I'm wrong), that “God loves me, God sent Jesus to die for my sins, I am therefore saved by God's grace through faith alone. This frees me from the bondage of sin.” Ok, so that still doesn't quite say why I do good works - but think of it this way - someone gives you a wonderful gift, something so expensive you could never buy it yourself. How do you respond? With thanks! You are probably willing to freely do something for the gift giver as well. Thus, why I work to serve my Lord - I have been given the biggest and best gift ever - unconditional love and eternal life in peace and glory - so I respond with thanksgiving by working to take care of God's world. Or to put it another way, that fits perfectly with today, Paul, in his 2nd letter to the Corinthians, says “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:17-20) So, as Christ's ambassadors, as we are reconciled to God, let us reconcile the world to God by sharing God's love for all. Amen!

For this the Silver Anniversary Edition of The Law Is My Ass (it's our 25th episode! How crazy is that?) - we welcome back to the podcast the always brilliant and funny Jamie Lee Williams of the Electronic Frontier Foundation to talk about whether the government can track all of your movements all the time (Hint: at the moment, probably). We also talk about how to protect your text messages and your computer browser history (hint: imperfectly). Before we get to that we talk about the Ninth Circuit's landmark decision in the Hawai'i travel ban appeal - ruling against the Trump administration on STATUTORY and not constitutional grounds! We round up the week's five (count 'em - FIVE!) mostly unanimous Supreme Court decisions including Justice Ginsburg's equal protection opinion in Sessions v. Morales Santana. And as if all that weren't enough, we talk about new suits against the Trump administration, good news for DACA dreamers bad news for your Christmas plans in Havana, good news for high powered criminal defense attorneys in Washington DC; this morning's mixed news for Bill Cosby; the crime of encouraging suicide; and the Philando Castile verdict.

We talk about the hung jury in the Bill Cosby rape trial, Philando Castile's killer being acquitted and the silence of the NRA, more about right wing radio and the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise, Jeff Sessions and legal pot and of course we end with a little Trump talk. This is the end of the line for SteveandJimftw.com. We are forming the new site www.WhiskeyCongress.com same podcast, more content, video rants, article references...we're moving on up.

Hey Y'all! Thanks for listening. First and Foremost: Rest in Power Philando. The good people of this country will fight so that your name is never forgotten. We analyze James Comey's testimony as well as Jeff Sessions ole forgetful ass and the mockery he called a testimony. Did you know NJ is voting for it's GOV soon? Don't worry neither did the people in New Jersey. Donald Trump is melting down before our very eyes and the end is soon we hope. And this week's in Depth Story focuses on Puerto Rico, the struggles of our forgotten friend in the Caribbean, the history of Colonization and the power of its people. We also sit down with Poppa Hernandez and we take in knowledge from a man who knows a thing or two about PR and NY. Again, thank you for listening.

On July 6, 2016, the school nutrition community suffered the tragic loss of one of its own when Philando Castile was shot by police during a routine traffic stop in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. Philando—a.k.a. "Mr. Phil" and "Mr. Rogers with dreadlocks"—was the beloved 32-year-old cafeteria supervisor for the J.J. Hill Montessori School in Saint Paul. In this special episode, produced in collaboration with Saint Paul Public Schools, we hear about Philando from his colleagues and his mother, Valerie Castile. They join us in mourning, and in celebration of a life well lived and a job well done. Image: Student letter posted outside J.J. Montessori School, Saint Paul: "This year I was going to give you a gift but then you dided but Im giving you a gift anyway! You hade the biggest heart ever I rilly miss you. I rilly rilly miss you Your the best lunch man we ever could have I wish you were alive. You have Rainbows in your heart!"

A few hours ago my wife asked me if we could just leave the country for good. It wasn't a rhetorical question, but a serious, sobering, painful one coming from a distraught black mother of five young black children. Her question was not one of travel, but survival.   She already knew that being black in America is not safe, but the videos of Alton Sterling being killed by police in Baton Rouge and of his devastated son crying his heart out on national television hit her hard. They hit millions of us hard. His name and those videos are now seared into the widely known roll call of black men and women murdered by American police in cold blood.   While millions of us grieved and processed our anger and pain about the death of Alton Sterling, something unthinkable happened right before our eyes - live on Facebook for all of us to see. Riding in the car with his girlfriend and her 4-year-old daughter, Philando Castile was pulled over by police in Minnesota Wednesday night. As he reached for his wallet, as the officer requested, the officer shot him four times and killed him.   -Shaun King   Having just witnessed her boyfriend shot to bits in front of her young daughter, Diamond Reynolds had few choices. She couldn't call the police, of course, they were there, with their guns now pointed at her. So she pulled her phone out, opened up Facebook and chose to broadcast live, for the whole world to see as Philando fought for his life, bleeding out right there in the car.   -Shaun King   Links   www.WileyNFlash.com   www.twitter.com/WileyShow   www.YouTube.com/TheWileyShow   IG: @4everWiley

The guys discuss the murders of Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, and countless others.

This episode deals with two types of problems in the world.  First up is the first world problem of Mark and Little Caesars.  Mark handles some marketing on the side for fireworks tents in the St. Louis area and had a great idea for a viral video.  Unfortunately, Little Caesars (the hopeful ally) didn't want to play along and their employee's made some very bad decisions when dealing with Mark...so Mark tells guest Justin "Deyemofo" Deming the premise and you tell us if you side with Mark or Little Caesars in this. And Second, its been a turbulent week in the US of A with police getting shot at and two men getting killed by police officers.  All of this re-ups the Black Lives Matters discussion that came about from good ole St. Louis, MO a few years back with the Mike Brown/Ferguson situation.  We discuss the new one.  

This weekend's sermon is a response to the recent police/black lives matter conflicts from Baton Rouge, Dallas and here in Saint Paul. We took a break from our current 'God In Us' series to talk about this together.
