Lib Hutchby is a member of Women's International League for Peace and Freedom in the Triangle Branch, Raging Grannies, Frack Free UNC, and NC Environmental Network.In Chapel Hill, NC, local residents are rallying against a coal-fired power plant owned by UNC Chapel Hill, as well as a nearby Duke Energy gas build outs. Several community groups are also actively working to promote environmental sustainability by hosting events like World Water Day and attending public hearings.Recently, UNC submitted a proposal to burn packaging materials and plastics, turning them into pellets to be used as fuel in their coal plant. While this 12-month trial period might reduce some emissions compared to the plant's current fuel, burning these pellets could also increase levels of nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide. On top of that, the pellets contain small amounts of PFAS, or "forever chemicals," which are notoriously harmful.However, thanks in part to the efforts of Chapel Hill's local groups, UNC has withdrawn its application. This victory is a testament to the power of community action in protecting the environment.Contact and connect with Lib: libhutchby5@gmail.com Pellet testing: https://chapelboro.com/news/unc/no-more-coal-chapel-hill-prepares-for-hearing-on-uncs-co-gen-plant-and-potential-new-fuel-source

Groups of older women have been raging – nonviolently – for peace, justice, and progressive causes in general for years. They are called the Raging Grannies and have 60 chapters in the US. Dressing in aprons, shawls, and outrageous hats, the Grannies riff on the stereotype of the “sweet little old lady” in order to deliver their strong opinions and satirical song lyrics.They rage at demonstrations, city halls, state legislatures and wherever they can sing their protest song lyrics. The Raging Grannies provide a positive example of channeling rage and despair. Our guest today is Raging Grannie Vicki Rider.Brought to you by NEXTVillageSF.orgNEXT Village SF is a neighborhood nonprofit providing services and support that empowers members to live independently.
Around the world, in the streets, people are raising their voices and demanding change. But not all protests involve placards and marching.Today on Now or Never, people who are rebelling against the way things are - and finding creative new ways to demand change.Maddy Nowosad loved skateboarding and the community of people she met at The Edge, a state of the art skate park in Winnipeg run by the Evangelical Youth For Christ. But when she came out, she no longer felt accepted in that space, so she rallied support and built a new skate park, but it took a huge toll.In a world that often asks us to work beyond our limits, Ontario's Golshan Abdmoulaie wants you to lay the f— down.

He committed to writing 100 poems for his instagram page, but some days he's not sure if he's making any difference in such a colossal conflict.The Winnipeg faction of the Raging Grannies throw on their wigs, colourful hats, and boas, and storm the studio to sing a song and explain why humour helps get the message across. As Canada's only Black winemaker, Hamilton's Steve Byfield never saw himself as a role model or activist. But after the murder of George Floyd, he didn't feel like he had much choice. How he's changing the game in his field, and how he's managing his discomfort with the role.And delight in the petty acts of resistance Ify discovers when she talks to people in Toronto about their everyday frustrations.

On this episode of CABHI's Community of Innovation podcast, Drs. Allison Sekuler and Rosanne Aleong speak with octogenarian Molly Sutkaitis about aging well and smashing stereotypes about older adults.

Jan 7, 2022 — Candlelight vigils took place all across the country last night, in commemoration of the one-year anniversary of the attempt to overturn the presidential election and take over the Capitol by force. Many of last night's vigils took the form of a call to action, from ending the filibuster to indicting Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani to supporting Senate bills designed to increase access to the ballot. In Ukiah, 60-70 people gathered in front of the courthouse shortly before dark to listen to remarks by local leaders and a few songs by the Raging Grannies. Ukiah City Council member Juan Orozco and organizer Steve Scalmanini read the details of four Senate bills they urged attendees to support. Third District Supervisor John Haschak shared his thoughts about truth and reconciliation, and the importance of agreed-upon facts. The vigils were sponsored by what Scalmanini called “scores” of organizations, including Public Citizen and Common Cause. He said the initial goal was to have 150 vigils across the country, but that the number swelled to about 300.

April 7, 2021 — Joe Louis Wildman, a longtime union organizer and Democratic activist, died Sunday, not long after retiring. He was the Secretary Treasurer of the North Bay Labor Council, an SEIU representative, and a business agent with operating Engineers Local #3. He was also Treasurer for the Inland Mendocino Democratic Club, and the owner of the Sprinter van that served as the club’s mobile headquarters during the pandemic. Raul Gardeia is an organizer with SEIU Local 2015. He lost a valuable mentor, one who was steeped in the dynamics of rural politics and encouraged him to go to grad school to get a degree from the University of Massachusetts in union activism. “He was an incredible resource, someone full of so much knowledge and history of county politics, and the history of the Mendocino County labor movement. It’s not easy to find a lot of the information unless you find someone who lived it,” Gardenia says. “Joe was someone who had a lot of ideals without ideology.” Val Muchowski, a longtime Democratic activist, worked alongside Wildman for twenty years. “Joe started off as a Green, so we were kind of on different teams for a while,” she recalled. “But then he became a Democrat, and a very active Democrat. He worked for years as a labor representative, and he had a keen wit and a cutting humor, which made him very fun to work with.” She described him as “very effective,” and told a story about how Wildman decided to drum up some money for the Democratic Party by inviting Fiona Ma, the California State Treasurer, to an event at Black Oak Coffee in Ukiah. “I said, sure, let’s do it, if we can,” Muchowski said. “We raised $3,000 for Democrats at that time. That was pretty good, with less than 100 people in the room,” she concluded. Gardenia added that Wildman, who had been counting down the days to his retirement, spent more time than ever at the union hall as a volunteer. “In the last several weeks, I saw him more than I ever had before...I think he was doing more work as a volunteer, I saw him more after he decided he was no longer going to work.” Before he died, Wildman had a chance to work on a historic campaign to elect two Democratic senators in Georgia. On December 10, he talked to Annie Esposito and Steve Scalmanini for Corporations and Democracy, about driving the mobile headquarters to Atlanta. “You know, everyone acts like driving a long time is hard, but it’s no harder than sitting on your couch,” he told his hosts. “I put a lot of strain on my right ankle. That’s about it. Everything else is sitting in the chair, watching the states go by.” Gardeia says no one can fill Wildman’s shoes. “We’re going to have a recall election sometime later this year, and we’re not going to have that voice, grumbling about it but still doing the work, preventing bad stuff from happening in our state.” There will be a political rally supporting AB 1400, guaranteed healthcare for all on April 17, starting at noon in the Low Gap parking lot in Ukiah and wending its way to Alex Thomas Plaza. It’s what Wildman would have been working on now, and references to him are sure to abound. The Raging Grannies will sing “I dreamed I saw Joe Wildman,” and local democratic leaders will speak. A few weeks before he died, Wildman wrote a poem that now seems prophetic: I am walking backward in time and slimming down, now wearing clothes that haven't fit in years. They are no more out of style now than they ever were. I am walking backward in time getting stronger with each step and closer to where we last diverged. I hope you'll join me now and walk me closer to when we met. To when I first walked you home. I am walking backward in time, but you cannot walk me back into the womb. You can, I hope, walk with me, back until I am no more. It is, I hope, your turn to walk with me the rest of the way. To walk me, slowly, all the way home.
Our topic is "Moving through grief to take action." Bessie Keaton will lead us in a discussion about the intersection of depression and grief for the first part, and we will focus on how to take action in the second part, likely focusing on the election and the relief package.

Le goéland ou être de son temps Le goéland est un oiseau dont les mœurs sont très malléables. Il a une capacité d'adaptation qui rappelle inéluctablement celui de l'humain. Cet oiseau de mer qui s'est adapté à la vie en ville nous a inspiré une rencontre avec une jeune octogénaire, Marguerite Bilodeau, qui a toujours démontré une grande capacité de s'adapter aux changements à toutes les étapes de sa vie. Un peu comme le goéland, cette militante du groupe les Raging Grannies, les Grands-mères en colère, n'a pas peur de de “déranger et bousculer” ses concitoyens pour leur faire prendre conscience de l'importance de la paix dans le monde, de la justice sociale ou de la protection du climat. Jonathan Verreault, Professeur au Département des sciences biologiques à l'UQAM, nous raconte quant à lui comment l'étude de cet oiseau nous offre de précieux renseignements sur nos écosystèmes et Boucar accueille René Lussier en performance.

In this two-part program, Peace Talks Radio salutes "Peacemaking Elders"- people who, well into their eighties, are still working for peace. Our guests in Part One are Juanita Nelson and Ruth Imber. Juanita and Wally Nelson were among the first to take the step of refusing to pay taxes to the government because they did not want their tax dollars to go to military spending. Starting in 1948, they lived simply below the taxable income line and were active in civil rights and social justice movements. Wally Nelson died in 2002 at the age of 93. Juanita Nelson, now 85, continues on her own, living in the house she and Wally Nelson built together from salvaged material. She has no electricity, no plumbing, and grows her own food on a small tract of land in western Massachusetts. Juanita Nelson is one of our guests. Ruth Imber, 83, is a fixture in the peace and justice community in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She's a poet, writer and singing member of the "Raging Grannies." Carol Boss hosts the conversation with these two inspiring women. Our Part Two guest is Dr. Bernard Lown, who co-founded International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) and Physicians for Social Responsibility. In 1985, despite active opposition from the U.S. government and NATO, he and a Soviet cardiologist colleague, Evgeni Chazov, accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of IPPNW. Now 87, Lown has written Prescription for Suvival: A Doctor's Journey to End Nuclear Madness. He talks with Peace Talks Radio producer Paul Ingles.
