Oh Canada. You used to be our best friend and now you want to "ghost" us. Trump orders Hegseth & Bondi to determine how the military can be used in domestic crime - and what will Trump be deciding is a crime? Protesting? Publishing anti-Trump facts? Judges that don't support him? Lawyers that represent legal residents? New Articles of Impeachment introduced into the House against Trump's "authoritarian power grab" are finally here. Oklahoma officials want the Big Lie taught in their schools. The truth is dying and needs to be revived. Founder, President Muslims for Progressive Values, Ani Zonneveld is asking us, as a Muslim - Does Inclusion include everyone? Here's JB Pritzker sounding like FDR calling for "mass protests" against Trump.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, John Pinna has a conversation with Ani Zonneveld, founder and president of Muslims for Progressive Values (MPV). Zonneveld discusses the organization's founding in response to the narrow representation of American Muslims post-9/11 and the dominance of conservative Muslim organizations. She highlights MPV's commitment to "10 principles" rooted in the social justice values of the Quran, emphasizing human dignity for all, including LGBTQ+ individuals, and the importance of egalitarian spiritual leadership, including female imams. The discussion also touches on the shifting political landscape, the increasing alliance between the Christian and Muslim right based on "family values" as code for anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment, and the potential threats to public education through legal challenges rooted in religious liberty claims. Zonneveld contrasts progressive faith organizations, which advocate for the separation of religion and state and inclusive values, with conservative religious groups that utilize religion to justify discrimination. She shares personal anecdotes, including a powerful encounter with an orthodox imam that led to a change in perspective on LGBTQ+ dignity. Zonneveld also critiques the hypocrisy within interfaith circles and the lack of action on human rights issues by some religious organizations. She ultimately emphasizes the importance of operationalizing core Islamic values of social justice and universal human dignity and making these teachings accessible to the public to foster change from within the Muslim community.

We mark the 100th episode of Secular Left with a reading from the show manifesto that was read in Episode 1 in April 2020. We highlight its birth during a tumultuous time marked by political uncertainty and a public health crisis. The initial goal was to provide a platform to voice critical perspectives against the tide of misinformation and extreme conservatism proliferating in mainstream discourse, especially during the latter stages of the 1st Trump administration. We also revisit memorable moments throughout the first episodes, like the establishment of our guiding manifesto, which articulates our commitment to progressive values and the importance of secularism in navigating social issues.Our guest is Dr. Juhem Navarro-Rivera, Political scientist and partner at Socialanalitica Research, who walks us through the latest Pew Research Religious Landscape Survey. He sheds light on the trends reflected in the Pew survey, most notably the rise of what he terms "cradle seculars." This demographic, comprised of individuals raised without religious affiliation who remain non-religious into adulthood, is growing at an unprecedented rate. The survey indicates an impressive upward trajectory: from 16% of the population identifying as secular in 2007 to nearly 29% in 2024. This surge challenges long-standing assumptions about religious identity, suggesting that many young people are increasingly less likely to return to religious practices as they age.Delving into methodological considerations, Dr. Navarro-Rivera discusses the shift from telephone surveys to more inclusive methods incorporating online and paper formats. This change may have important implications for survey responses, particularly concerning sensitive topics like religious affiliation. We explore the effect of social stigma on reporting non-religious identities, emphasizing the need for transparency in polling methodologies to achieve more accurate insights.As we unpack the nuances of the survey, our guest emphasizes the significance of understanding the growing secular identity not merely in terms of percentages but as a profound cultural shift representing approximately 76 million individuals in the U.S. We examine the evolving landscape of religious affiliation, noting a decline in Christian identification among younger demographics, and discuss how these trends can inform strategies for fostering secular communities that resonate with new generations.Full Show Notes & LinksSend us a textSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFollow us on BlueskyFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon

Progressive members are growing frustrated with Democratic leadership's constant moves to suppress good, progressive bills in favor of bills helping the corporate donor base.  8:51-39:30: Rep. Emily Dievendorf Interview Democratic State Rep. Emily Dievendorf (D-Lansing) joins the show this week. The Representative introduced progressive, common sense bills on affordable housing, a homeless bill of rights, and helping families keep their land and homes. However, those bills can't get a vote on the House floor in the lame duck so far because they are either being pushed aside for other bills, or because of political games. Rep. Dievendorf also shares her frustrations on how "centrist" Democrats held-up many good, progressive bills designed to help Michiganders, and rather concentrated on corporate interests instead. 39:31-45:00: Last Call on Disgusting Nancy Mace Pat's "Last Call" covers how South Carolina MAGA Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace introduced a resolution this week that would bar transgender women from using women's bathrooms in the U.S. Capitol. This disgusting move by Mace is being done because a transgender Democratic Congresswoman will soon be in Congress. However, Democrats are also to blame since their silence on trans-rights issues this election year allowed Republicans to bully trans-Americans. And now, these MAGA Republicans feel even more emboldened to attack another group of marginalized Americans. 44:53-47:18: Ending Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com

Can you be a progressive representing a legislative district that is deeply conservative? In politics, it is often the belief that it's not possible. But there are moderates and conservatives who've represented more liberal districts (and states even!).This is a question that my friend and guest, Sammi Brown, challenged when she ran for office as an unabashed young progressive woman of color in a West Virginia legislative district that had gone double digits for Trump in 2016.Raised in a Union household Sammi would work multiple jobs to pay her way through college and grad school (and would earn both her Bachelors and MBA from Shepherd University). A career in media, would eventually lead her into organizing on behalf of her state's working families, advocate for the Healthcare of our population's most vulnerable, and train movement leaders across the country to carry on this work in their respective spaces.I had the privilege to work with Sammi on this race. As a young progressive woman of color in West Virginia, she was viewed as an “underdog” from the start, she would proceed to knock over 3000 doors, earn the endorsement of many progressive organizations and ultimately FLIP the 65th District in the West Virgina House of Delegates in 2018. As a result, she is credited with the State's largest “comeback” in a single cycle: covering a 30 point spread.She talks about her journey to political service to the community in which she was raised, what it looks like to embrace your voice as an elected official, especially when it's in the best interests of your constituents, how she dealt with sexism and racism in political leadership, and more.

“I'm hoping Bitcoin can almost force an evolution of what we refer to now as progressive politics." My guest today is Logan. Logan is a Lawyer, writer, and has published incredible articles via his Think Bitcoin substack and Bitcoin Magazine In this episode we explore the relationship between Bitcoin and progressive politics. We discuss whether Bitcoin aligns with progressive values, if it can address issues like wealth inequality and climate change, and how it may force an evolution in progressive politics. Key topics include the differences between "Capital P" Progressive politics/politicians and and "lowercase p" progressives, focusing on values over politicians and political power-structures. We discuss whether Bitcoin's market-based solutions conflict with typical progressive reliance on government funded initiatives, and whether Bitcoin can slow wealth inequality over generations even if it doesn't completely fix it. The conversation also covers the national debt crisis and why both major political parties avoid seriously addressing it.

Today we are joined by Jason Maier, High School Math teacher and author of "A Progressive's Case for Bitcoin". We get into his book, imagining a different system and way of thinking about things, speaking to progressives about bitcoin and his journey as a life-long learner and educator, and more. I think Jason has written one of the best introductory books on Bitcoin that can engage anyone, but especially those from the political left. He does incredible work educating people about bitcoin and how it is not antithetical to progressive values, but rather folks may find bitcoin aligns very well with many of their progressive values.

Frontier Co-op's CEO Tony Bedard dropped by to talk about the organization's philosophy “doing good, works.”Frontier Co-op is a 40,000-person member-owned herbs, spices, and botanicals cooperative founded in 1976. Since then, it has been a leader in social impact and employee-focused initiatives. In today's episode, EFG's Alli Murphy chats with Frontiers' CEO, Tony Bedard, about the organization's philosophy, “doing good, works.” In 2021, Frontier Co-op committed $225,000 over three years to continue its partnership with Willis Dady Homeless Services. The program is part of Frontier's 2022 Halo Award-winning initiative Breaking Down Barriers to Employment. It identifies individuals returning to society who are eager for a second chance after being incarcerated or facing other challenges, such as homelessness or lack of transportation, and provides them with the resources to overcome these systemic barriers to employment. The program has directly impacted Frontier's business, solving its hiring needs by hiring 20% of its production employees through its second-chance hiring practices. In addition, more than 140 individuals have gone through the apprenticeship program thus far.Aside from this initiative, we also dive into the Co-Op's word-wide sourcing and international development projects. Tony has traveled the world to visit small-scale organic growers, led more than 25 humanitarian missions to El Salvador and Haiti and has supported dozens of community building and business building projects in the Co-op's grower communities.In today's episode, we'll explore:How to evaluate employee and societal needs to create a program that's equitable and impactfulThe genesis of the Breaking Down Barriers to Employment initiativeHow partners that are subject matter experts are crucial for true impactWhat Tony learned while developing Breaking Down Barriers to EmploymentHow their CSR work extends to a global scaleTony's advice for marrying business and societal needsLinks & NotesFrontier Co-op WebsiteFrontier Co-op LinkedInFrontier Co-op InstagramFrontier Co-op FacebookFrontier Co-op program gives workers a second chance at employment – and lifeFrontier Co-op Named to Inc.'s 2022 Best in Business List in Correctional Re-Entry Services Category2022 Halo Award WinnerFrontier Co-op's recent sourcing trip to GuatemalaElevate Your Social ImpactCheck out our annual conference!Sign up for Engage for Good's newsletterCheck out past podcast episodesAccess free resourcesCheck out our monthly webinarsLet Alli know what you think of the show!

2017 might be called the golden year for far-right movements in European Union countries. Anti-establishment populist movements and new formations like the alt-right (alternative right) -breeding from the century-old eugenic thought, white supremacism, white nationalism, and covert or overt racist approaches overlapping with Neo-Nazism have gained considerable ground in most of the prominent EU countries (today, all of these terms are frequently used interchangeably, which calls for a thorough ...

Once again, one of the awesome people I met at the Council on Foreign Relations in NYC. These conversations with Ani Zonneveld took place in 2017. What I noticed at the CFR conference is that there was a significant tension between Ani, the Director of Muslims for Progressive Values and those more traditional, orthodox Muslims. Ani is very impatient with what are often termed "moderate Muslims." It's not that she thinks they are extremists in disguise. Rather, she is concerned that while they do speak out against Islamist terrorist attacks, they remain silent on issues of gender, sexual orientation, religious tolerance, etc. She is frustrated that her non-Muslim counterparts left of center do things like wear hijabs in support of the women of Islam, when she as a Muslim finds such traditions medieval and useless. Really, these 2 episodes offer a great deal to think about. Enjoy.

As Canada enters into its election period, the weeks ahead will be filled with stories of Progressive Values, fake bantering between the Conservative and Liberal candidates, claims that PPC is a white supremacist nationalist party, and countless fake poles designed to engineer the outcome of the election in Trudeaus favor. With the late arrival of the PPC combined with the media collusion to support Trudeau and the ideological mind meld of the Progressive Left, Trudeau may very well be the winner in October.
