WOKE Progressive activist EMBARRASSES herself when talking about Trump's conviction!

Jacinta Robin is the Director of the Intern Program at the Center for Bioethical Reform. She is a renowned anti-abortion activist, speaker, and member of the State Board of Florida Right to Life. She resides in Jacksonville, Florida. While I disagree with Jacinta's position on abortion and the intentional control of someone else's body, I found her, unlike many anti-abortion zealots, to open herself not to change her morals but understand that compassion is needed for those who do not necessarily share her religion or her version of ethics.

On Twitter, she adds that she's a “commie hillbilly.” She's an incredibly busy mom with a hell of a lot to say and do. And she pulls no punches. For example, she posted this on Instagram about the CDC.“My 1.5 year-old twins really are thrilled that the @CDCgov has basically said “fuck it” – they're so thankful that such an organization has their best interests (and all children under 5!) at heart.”Ashlyn, welcome to Lean to the Left…---Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support.

Charles Lenchner has been one of the unsung heroes of the progressive movement for as long as I've been covering the movement. He was one of the original occupiers at Occupy Wall Street. He's a co-founder of People for Bernie. He's Executive Director of Organizing 2.0. He's part of Progressive Hub and Roots Action, and the list goes on and one. He's the epitome of the OUTSIDE part of the inside/outside strategy of activism. And yesterday I learned that he grew up in Israel, and today holds dual citizenship. Yesterday was the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. Charles shared his story of growing up in Israel, a wrote an essay on his experience as a Jewish teenager in Israel opposed to the occupation. Charles joins us today... we'll talk about both his #PalestineDay story and his progressive activism, which is sorely needed right about now!

Born and raised in rural south Georgia, Winston Bolen grew up expecting to be a Southern Baptist preacher or conservative politician but over time things changed. Leaving the church in the late 90s, his former views were blown away by the myriad variety of fellow geeks and weirdos that brought different life perspectives to his online fandoms. The internet allowed him access to a world outside his humble upbringings, helping shape this bi, poly, atheist into a crusader for all things progressive. With the same fire and brimstone drawl of a southern preacher, he has found himself back where he started: fighting the good fight to win hearts and minds, just on a very different team. Winston makes his living as a project manager but in his heart, he is an entertainer. On any given day, he is a comic artist, photographer, writer, singer, or Burlesque emcee. Within his community he's a political activist, husband, boyfriend, and father. You can reach out to Winston for commissions for art OR to talk about, well, anything!

Interviewer: MATTHEW BERKMAN. Bernie Sanders has twice failed to win the nomination for President, but in the process has transformed the policies and politics of the Democratic party. WINNIE WONG, a founding organizer of Occupy Wall Street, a co-founder of People for Bernie 2016, and a senior adviser to the Sanders 2020 campaign, urges that these transformations should be pushed further, even as the nomination has been clinched by a moderate. In her discussion with political scientist Matthew Berkman, Wong looks back at what she felt at the time were strategic missteps by Sanders, while emphasizing strengths of the campaign that the mainstream media has been reluctant to acknowledge. Her focus, however, is on the perils and promise of the current moment: a public health and economic crisis that calls for bold policies to protect the public welfare; a Democratic candidate attempting to rally the party, including its left wing; and a progressive movement that, without Sanders as a unifying figure, risks becoming the “wild west.”

Ayni is currently producing The Mysteries of the Andes, a nine documentary series by Director Jose Huaman Turpo and Producer Alejandrina Calancha. Their vision is to preserve the ancestral traditions of indigenous groups in the Andes and Amazons of Peru from a holistic perspective, which means that those communities share their stories, their culture, and their wisdom through their own voices. More at www.ayni.institute CARLOS SAAVEDRA migrated to Boston, MA at the age of 12 with his parents as an undocumented student. At 16 years old, he became active in the immigrant rights movement fighting for equal access to higher education for undocumented youth, and became the national coordinator for the United We Dream Network, the first immigrant youth national organization. Carlos was chosen as the 2010 Progressive Activist of the Year by Nation Magazine. FHATIMA PAULINO is the daughter of immigrants from the Philippines and Mexico. Since 2017 she has been Co-Coordinator of the Memory Program at the Ayni Institute where she is currently focused on the documentary Voices That Heal, which is about the cosmovision, healing practices and almost extinct languages of 4 indigenous villages in the Peruvian Amazon. The documentary will premiere in Boston on April 21st during Ayni’s Yachay (Wisdom) Seminar ( www.ayni.institute/seminar ).
