We look at the key players influencing the Oakland Mayor's race with Walter Riley, civil rights lawyer, activist and chair of the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund. Then, as some cities move to restrict surveillance, law enforcement takes to the sky. Fixed wing aircraft can stay up in the air for hours at a time and are often used in tandem with high definition cameras, heat sensors and cell-site simulation technology by law enforcement agencies. Does this type of aerial surveillance pose a risk to civil liberties? We discuss with Brian Hofer, Executive Director of Secure Justice, a non-profit that advocates against state abuse of power, and for reduction in government and corporate overreach. Hofer is also Chair of Oakland's Privacy Advisory Commission. We are also joined by Tiny Gray-Garcia, co-founder of POOR Magazine who has a new book out entitled UnTourBook: Across Occupied Turtle Island Check that out here: https://www.poormagazine.org/post/untour-book-release   — Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post What's at Stake in the Oakland Mayor's Race?; Plus the Risks of Aerial Surveillance appeared first on KPFA.

A Very Happy New Year's Eve to You All! I hope everyone is feeling healthy, rested and peacefully reflective on this past year. One thing that certainly filled my 2024 cup to the brim is all the amazing chats with talented, interesting filmmakers. I'm thrilled to end the last day of this year with one more, and I think it's a great one. Peter Menchini directed the animated short, “When Mama and Me Lived Outside,” that took home the Grand Jury Award for Best Short Film – Animation at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2023. I referred to this film as an “animated documentary” and Peter agreed. This unique, compelling and meaningful film tells the story of Tiny Gray-Garcia's children's book of the same name, utilizing the artwork in creative and original ways to support the story. We had a wonderful screening of “When Mama and Me Lived Outside” at FILA 2023 that included a great Q&A with Peter and Tiny. I knew that it would be a wonderful and rewarding interview if or when Peter had time to do the podcast. Much to my delight we were able to record a Zoom interview and Peter did not disappoint, as the conversation is fantastic and, to me, particularly meaningful. Peter shared the following links: Anyone who wants to buy Tiny's book, and you SHOULD, can do so here: https://www.poorpress.net/ You can learn more if you visit Poor Magazine's website: https://www.poormagazine.org/ And, finally, Peter shared this fun video with us: https://vimeo.com/270538513.

Durell shares that oftentimes the special needs community is forgotten about and he's so glad to connect with Leroy who has made it his life's work to make sure that people who live with disabilities have a voice and feel included. Leroy shares that he has an issue with the way that Hollywood tries to act like they care about disability and inclusion nowadays like it's new when people with disabilities have been around since Moses. Durell and Leroy both share and in agreement that people with disabilities do need to be taken seriously because their voice does matter. Leroy shares that he and his partner Keith Jones started “Krip-Hop” which has become an internationally known organization on SSI dollars. Leroy says that he believes that if you want to see things happen just start shit. Leroy shares that he started 3 different organizations all on SSI dollars. Leroy shares that it's very possible to make things happen if you are determined. Durell shares that he attended Full Sail University and received a free education because of the fact that he has a disability by taking advantage of the options presented to him. After graduation he shares that he was picked up by a job advocacy agency but he knew they wouldn't be able to assist him because they didn't have the relationships within the entertainment industry. He shares that they proceeded to hire him for a few months but they didn't ask him to come back after the holiday break and after that is when he made the decision to allow his disability to work for him and not against him. Durell and Leroy both agree that many organizations and companies don't really care or want to employ people with disabilities. Leroy shares that the US government doesn't truly follow the law when it comes to providing opportunities for jobs for people with disabilities. Durell asks Leroy where he is originally from and he shares that he was born in New York City and grew up in Hartford, Connecticut. He shares that he moved to the Bay area in 1991 and now lives in Los Angeles. Durell asks Leroy about his earliest memories of music. He shares that he first loved hard rock with bands such as AC-DC and Ozzy Osbourne. He shares that he had a variety of musical taste because he grew up in the suburbs. He was definitely taken back by hip-hop when he first heard it in the late 70's but began to really love it. Leroy also is a huge fan of Blues music and he said there is a lot of disabled representation within the blues genre. Durell asks Leroy to define what exactly is “Krip-Hop Nation”. Krip-Hop is an international organization of disabled creatives that was started over 15+ years ago.. He shares that he and his co-founders started Krip-Hop because they didn't see any representation of disabled people in hip-hop and they wanted to be able to see that. He shares that he is trying to start a Krip-Hop institute in Los Angeles so that disabled creatives can have a place to come and learn about hip-hop and how to find their place and be heard. Durell asks Leroy about his work with Poor Magazine which dates back to the 1990's. He shares that he was doing open mics performing poetry and then was asked to become a writer for the magazine with a column called “Illin & Chillin'.

Leroy has founded organizations such as the National Black Disability Coalition, Disability Advocates Of Minorities Organization and Sins Invalid. He shares that he had the opportunity to travel to the UK and saw black disabled people organizing for the ability to be heard for various issues. He really wanted to focus on black and brown disabled people being able to have a voice and knew that after what he witnessed in his trip to London change had to take place. Leroy and Durell talk about some of his cultural work. He created a film documentary entitled “Where Is Hope: Police Brutality Against People With Disabilities” , released spoken word CD's, poetry books, and a children's book called “Black Disabled Art History 101''. He had been an advocate for police brutality for black and brown disabled men and women dating back to the 1980's. He shares that his documentary was done right around the time that the Black Lives Matter movement started and while he reached out to many of the activist groups he says no one wanted to get involved with the documentary. He shared that the documentary has been shown in several Universities around the nation. Leroy also did a CD around police brutality and people with disabilities. Leroy and Durell talk about the graphic novel that he published in 2019 entitled “Krip-Hop Graphic Novel Issue 1: Brown Disabled Young Woman Superhero Brings Disability Justice To Hip-Hop”. He shared that the novel was published by Poor Press. He shares that the lead character, who is a disabled woman, had low self-esteem until she discovered Krip-Hop. Durell and Leroy end the episode talking about some of the amazing work that he did that featured some African disabled musicians from Uganda, Tanzania and The Democratic Republic Of Congo as part of The Bay area tour sponsored by Krip-Hop Nation. Leroy shares how in Africa there isn't federal money to give people with disabilities money as there is in the USA. Leroy says that he didn't have a grant to help with any funding and that the musicians all stayed in his apartment . He shares that all of the work that was done has been out of his pocket as well as his co-founders. Durell and Leroy also talk about some of the awards that he received for his advocacy work. He received awards from The San Francisco Mayor's Disability Council, Local Hero from KQED Public TV and he was named Champion Of Disabled Black People by The San Francisco Bayview Newspaper on Black Appreciation Media Night.

Part three of the Free Palestine! series features voices from Yelamu Ohlone land commonly known as San Francisco, California.We begin with Mama Tiny of Poor Magazine offering a warrior call & prayer. Then, Zeyad of Palestinian Youth Movement speaks to us on May 15th, Nakba Day, where nearly 10,000 people, families, children, and allies took to the streets that day in solidarity with the people of Palestine, and against the on-going Israeli settler-colonialism and violence. As Palestinians of the diaspora had been preparing to commemorate the 73rd year of the Palestinian catastrophe, Al Nakba, Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah began to experience an increase of violent dispossession.This episode also features voices from the protests held in front of the Israhelli Consulate in Yelamu Ohlone Land – San Francisco – May 18th, as Palestinians and allies participated in a general strike and day of action from Jerusalem, across colonized Palestine, and the world. Organizers of the Palestinian Youth Movement and Arab Resource and Organizing Center (AROC) share history about successful strikes & boycotts in solidarity with Palestine and leave us with a call to action: Block The Boat.Learn more: https://blocktheboat.org/As of now, that boat has been delayed for over a week and is currently treading the waters outside the San Francisco bay.5/27/2021 update: "We've delayed ZIM - Our readiness to mobilize to the Port of Oakland is working!

In this episode of By Any Means Necessary hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by recently-freed MOVE Family member Janine Africa to talk about what it's like finally being out of prison after over 40 years of imprisonment, why their peace-oriented outlook was considered such a threat by the power structure, and how the horrors enacted by the city on the MOVE family 35 years ago make any supposed apology from city officials seem so insincere.In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by formerly unhoused poverty scholar, revolutionary journalist, and co–founder of POOR Magazine, to talk about her group's efforts to protest the treatment of houseless people amid the pandemic, what the government's refusal to provide shelter says about the twisted priorities of our political system, and why the police's continued persecution of the unhoused community demonstrates that their primary duty is to the rights of property—not humans.In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by National Director of Justice Action Mobilization Network Joel Segal to talk about the new round of coronavirus stimulus proposed by House Democrats, whether progressive doubts about the bill can be addressed as the details continue to be worked out, and whether we can expect to see a piecemeal government approach to the virus as time goes on.Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Kamau Franklin, Founder and Board President of Community Movement Builders in Atlanta, to talk about the new lawsuit by the family of the EMT worker shot and killed by police during a botched no-knock raid on the wrong house, the racist double standards in policing exposed by the Ahmaud Arbery killing, and how the false dilemma between death by disease or starvation exposes the limits of capitalism.

In this episode the members of Black Disabled Men Talk discuss the challenges navigating romantic relationships and sexuality as Black disabled men. If you like this episode don't forget to support our patreon page at https://www.patreon.com/blackdisabledmentalk. Thank you. Transcript: Black Disabled Men Talk: Relationships With: Leroy Moore (LM); Keith Jones (KJ); Lateef McLeod (LMC); LM: Okay! This is Leroy Moore on Black Disabled Men Talk. We’re back again, and this time we’re talking about relationships and being a black disabled man. We’re going to go round like we always do, introduce ourselves, then we can jump into the topic. We have like 20 minutes to do this, so let’s do it! So introductions, please, myself and my team. KJ: Hey what’s up my name is Keith Jones. I am the president and CEO of Soul Touching Experiences, an organization built on building inclusive and effective policy.  Also the co-founder of Krip-Hop nation with my twin from another mother, Leroy Moore. LM: Hey! Alright this is Leroy Moore from Krip-Hop Nation, Poor Magazine, also an author, writer, activist in the Bay Area. Yeah, that’s me, I’m glad to be here. Lateef, take it away! LMC: Hello, I am Lateef McLeod and I am poet, writer and scholar. I am a PhD student in the Anthropology and Social Change department at California Institute of Integrative Studies, also the lead committee chair of the International Society of Augmented and Alternative Communication. I’m also working on a poetry book that will come out next year. Also. LM: Alright are you done Lateef? LMC: Also people should donate to our Patreon [repeats] [child in background chattering] KJ: Our Patreon page, yes! I can never say it right. It’ll be, we’ll put the link up with the link. LMC: Okay. LM: So we have the Patreon page, Black Disabled Men Talk, and we’re on acmes so thanks. So let’s get into the topic, the topic is relationships and black disabled men. It could be friends, it could be romantic relationships, but yeah we’re going to talk about that topic. So. Who wants to jump in first with that? KJ: Latif why don’t you go first man? [child chattering, noise] LMC: Well for my position I think romantic relationships for people with disabilities [chime], especially black people with disabilities, in this society is full of challenges, [loud hum in background], heartache, and disappointment. The reason I say that is because I don’t think our communities get our sexuality or our romantic wishes, and think that part of ourselves is trivial to our wellbeing. LM: Yeah I do agree with you, Lateef. Keith ado you want to go? KJ: You can go LM: For me I totally agree. I really don’t think that society sees our sexuality as black disabled men. You know, although today we had a little bit better with our work with Sins Invalid you know, and disabled activists doing the work around it. But I really think that this… can be deeply in the courts. I think it’s going to be… [10.16, inaudible] change. Change in our community about how we think about disability, especially in the black community. The black community is so far behind, you know. We talk about social justice but they’re so far behind, sexuality it just erases it, it’s like going back to the dark ages almost. Recently - not even recently, I think a year and a half now - I’ve been really pumping to be a national black disabled campaign that’s fully funded and fully supported. So we can do that education! It’s not going to come from the courts, it’s not going to come from the disabled caucus, it’s only going to come from our communities. And you know to do that we need support doing, you know funding and other pieces to it. Of course what we’re doing now with our own work - Latif with you writing, Keith Jones with policy and running for president, and mine - we are doing it in our own silos. But you know, a national complete new way of thinking I think it needs to be.

Politricksters use Poverty & Homelessness as a pimp game to get elected & then work for the Aristokkkrazy to criminalize every poor person they get -this is a track to remind us all that yes we all Need to Vote but no matter how many times u vote on my homelessness,study my homelessness or jail my homelessness that won’t get me a home -self-determination is our liberation #Homefulness #1stTheyCamefortheHomeless #BankofComeUnityReparations

What if the only people who can see the way out of the crisis we are in are people we never listen to? What if our salvation, literally our salvation right here on this planet, relies upon our willingness to listen to what poor people have to say and to honor their self-determination? In this episode, contributor Nichola Torbett seeks out the wisdom of Lisa "Tiny" Gray-Garcia, formerly houseless founder of Poor Magazine/the Poor News Network and Homefulness, at a moment when the White House is threatening more concentration camps, this time for poor people.

The Trump administration moved to dramatically limit Central American migrants' ability to seek asylum at the U.S. border with Mexico, an escalation of the president's push to stem the flood of border crossers that are severely straining the U.S. immigration system. Under the rule published online on Monday, with limited exceptions, migrants who pass through another country first must seek asylum there rather than at the U.S. border, where they will be ineligible to do so. The vast majority of asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border come from Central America, passing through Mexico, and in some cases Guatemala, first. These rule changes are against multiple laws and are facing retaliation. Today, we are in conversation with Rose Cuison-Villazor about recent changes to the laws on political asylum, we will also talk to the proprietors of POOR Press about their new book on the theory of poverty. Guests: Rose Cuison-Villazor is a professor of Law at Rutgers Law School. She is the Director of the Center for Immigration Law, Policy and Justice at Rutgers Law Schools. She is an expert in immigration, citizenship, property law and race and the law. Tiny aka Lisa Gray-Garcia is a formerly unhoused, incarcerated poverty scholar, journalist, poet, and the co-founder of POOR Magazine. She has authored such works as Criminal of Poverty: Growing Up Homeless in America and The Hardworker/El Trabajador. The post Theory of Poverty and the Illegal Changes to the Asylum Process and Regulations appeared first on KPFA.

For the 50th Anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Poor People's Campaign and Resurrection City, poor and houseless people marched from the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia to Washington, DC where they are setting up a Resurrection City in DuPont Circle. We speak with Tiny (aka Lisa Gray-Garcia), co-founder of POOR Magazine and a participant on the march, about the reality of poverty in the United States. Tiny describes the march and the intersections between poverty and many other areas such as mass incarceration, health and colonization. This is a poor-led people's campaign that is not only resisting the policies and systems that drive the current crises, but is also putting forth poor people-led solutions, such as the Bank of Community Reparations and Homefulness.

We're high on poetry this week… stories of disabled people told to the beat of the heart. Leroy F. Moore Jr. And, we're focusing on black and brown people with disabilities because we're hosting Leroy F. Moore Jr., and his new book, Black Kripple Delivers Poetry and Lyrics.  Listen in as we follow the founder of Krip Hop Nation into a discussion of history, police brutality and the life of a black activist with a disability. Leroy Moore is the co-founder of Sins Invalid, a disability performance project, he writes the “illin n chillin” column at Poor Magazine, and he's put out two poetry cds. Here's just a few of his other projects: While we are in the studio with you, Leroy will be out on the streets leading the Stolen Land/Hoarded Resources Redistribution, Decolonization & Community Reparations Tour in Oakland, California. “As we humbly and peacefully walk into “wealthy” neighborhoods across the “U.S.”, we will be offering land and stolen resource hoarders a chance to begin the very serious work of Decolonization by redistributing one or more of their hoarded and bordered stolen indigenous territory, buildings, homes, stocks, bonds, cash or trust funds to landless and indigenous people in the form of what we call community reparations.” In early June you can find Leroy Moore in L.A. for the opening of Lynn Manning's play, IT'S A KRIP HOP NATION (where are my crippled homies at!)  Playing June 3, 4, 10 and 11, at the Rosenthal Theater in L.A. Late this year, Leroy Moore will be touring South Africa with Simon Manda Editor and Co-Founder of THISABILITY Newspaper. “November 2016 to December 2016, Disability Month in South Africa, Krip Hop will traveling to the major cities of South Africa to film, record and write on the voices to give a multimedia reflection of what the situation is on the ground as well as engage stakeholders on the needs of persons with disabilities in the creative space.” The post Black Kripple Delivers Poetry and Lyrics: Leroy F. Moore appeared first on KPFA.

Lisa "Tiny" Gray-Garcia is a writer, organizer, activist, poet, and self-proclaimed poverty scholar. She is the only interviewee in The Conversation who has spent a good portion of her life houseless (a term she prefers over homeless), and a lot of her work has addressed issues of poverty. In addition to being a prolific writer of articles she is the author of Criminal of Poverty, the founder of Poor Magazine, the driving force behind the Homefulness Project. When I recorded this interview in the summer of 2013, I did not expect it to be the final interview I would record for The Conversation, yet it makes a better conclusion that I could have anticipated. Lisa's voice at the end of the project casts the earlier episodes in a different light. This interview reminds us that grand speculation about the distant future—and even mundane speculation about the near future—is often the privilege of affluence, just as it is beset by the blind spots of the affluent. That doesn't cheapen any of the fascinating interviewees in The Conversation, but it does remind us that The Conversation is, almost by definition, not as inclusive as we want it to be. A lot of people are too busy surviving to join in The Conversation. Though this is the final interview, it is not the final episode. Expect that soon.
