Does God's Word promote slavery? Is God OK with slavery and people having slaves? What was the purpose of slavery?

Constitutional right to abortion and leaves it up to states to decide. While many people in states across the country will continue to have access to abortion care, there are 13 states with trigger ban laws that will immediately make abortions illegal with 13 others soon to follow. Make no mistake, this decision affects every person in the United States negatively, but it will disproportionately impact the lives of poor Black, Indigenous and LGBTQ+ people of color and mean a death sentence for many. We are in this together. Part of keeping our movement strong is you giving yourself the care you need in critical times like this. To get Undocu-health resources, text “UHEALTH” to 877-877 Abortion Rights are Fundamental Human Rights. Sexual and reproductive rights and access to healthcare are human rights for people of all immigration statuses. This extremist right-wing Court has made it clear their goal is to strip away our rights and freedoms to choose where we live, who we marry, how to take care of our own bodies, but we won't let it happen. We got us. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/essie-berry/message

Canadian slavery, enslaved a woman named Marie-Joseph Angelique, who was accused of setting fire to her owner’s house, a fire which in turn burned down much of Old Montreal. Also being black in Canada. Canada is viewed as a progressive country much more tolerant and accepting of diversity than the States. While this may be what is said aloud, the truth isn’t as perfect as we wish it to be. Slavery in Canada was a real and awful thing, y’all, just like it was with our neighbours down south. Many people say it wasn’t as bad because there were no plantations like in the deep south of the States. Slavery here mostly consisted of housework, not field work. However, all forms of slavery should be judged harshly. Enslaved people in Canada were still considered sub hum an actual, or even non-human, beings. They were physically and mentally abused daily and had no rights to protect them. Enslaved women were raped and sexually assaulted, often resulting in children to whom they had no legal right. Children born to slaves just became slaves themselves, same as in the States. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/Teddy-G/support

In this week’s virtual roundtable, Dee Dee and Deana (#TheBassSisters) talk more about capitalism messaging. Using the writings of often overlooked President James Garfield, they make the argument that slavery had to end for America to move towards a more perfect moral and economic union. There is a long-held narrative that slavery fueled the U.S. Economy. But is it possible that slavery stifled economic growth? When you look at the evidence, it’s easy to argue that America would have moved farther faster if we had never engaged in the peculiar institution.Economist Karl Smith writes, “Just before independence, the per capita gross domestic product of the South, adjusted for inflation, was $3,100 per year -- compared with just $1,832 in New England. Over the next 60 years Southern per capita GDP actually declined, to $2,521. British demand for cotton helped it to recover to $4,000 per person in 1860, but by then the comparable figure for New England was $5,3370]Slave labor was no match for canals, railroads, steel mills and shipyards. Slavery -- and the parochial rent-seeking culture it promoted -- inhibited the growth of capitalism in the South. Ultimately, it was Northern industrial might that ended that peculiar institution in the US once and for all.”In a nutshell, when men and women own the fruits of their labor, they are free and that is the hallmark of capitalism. When the fruits of your labor are controlled by the master or the state, that is Slavery.THE MESSAGE MARK IS FAIRNESS: It is fair that people own the fruits of their labor.Servitium esto damnatum [Slavery Be Damned].

In Episode 2 of Series 5, we mark International Women's Day 2020. Todd is joined by Helen McCabe based at The Rights Lab at Nottingham University and Karen Sherman author of Brick By Brick - Building Hope and Opportunity for Women Survivors Everywhere. They discuss the connections between the United Nations' Sustainable Goals 5 on achieving gender equality and 8.7 ending modern slavery. Helen is an assistant professor of political theory and leads the work of the Rights Lab on forced marriage. Karen is a renowned author and speaker on global women's issues. She was formerly a senior executive at Women for Women International and is currently President of the Akilah Institute, Rwanda's only women's college, leading its strategy, growth, and partnerships. Her main focus is on the role that education and economic participation can play in transforming the lives of women their families and communities. 00 – 4.00 Todd introduces both guests and comments on the connections between the work of both speakers Karen reflects on her work over 30 years and the precarity of women in terms of their rights. (legalised marriage, inheritance, property) Karen refers to her work in Rwanda where men typically resist engaging in legalised marriage preferring traditional marriage, which gives freedom to have multiple wives and which doesn't place financial obligations on the man. This is in contrast to women who view legalised marriage as a means to safeguard their rights. In attempting to convince men of the value of legalised marriage she found that the protection of children's rights was seen by men to be more important than women's rights. Whilst traditional marriage is still the norm in many countries in others legalised marriage and associated rights are in place but not enforced or women are unaware of them. 4.00 – 8.21 Helen sees the parallels with her current research on child marriage and forced marriage. Forced marriage  and early age  marriage hard to prove in the absence of legal documents, hence the need to ensure full legal documentation of marriage. Legalised marriage confers rights but can also create issues re; access to divorce, custody of children and property rights. Todd suggests that legalising marriage can  empower women but as Karen comments, there is a dichotomy between legalisation of marriage which confers rights,  and the large numbers of young women and children in Africa and Asia who forced into marriage and have no access to their rights. The key factor is whether women want to be married legally or not. Forced marriage has parallels with slavery because women do not choose to become the property of men. 8.21 – 10.50 The conversation returns to the situation in Rwanda where significant numbers of women are in positions of influence and power. Post war more women comprised 70% of the active population Significant numbers became active politically, entered government and supported pro – women legislation. This gave women the opportunity to renegotiate their rights in terms of marriage and beyond. 10.50 -  15.23 The links between education, access to employment and positive outcomes for women are explored. Education gives women voice but income gives women choice. The kind of education is important It must equip women with the necessary skills for the workplace. In terms of forced marriage girls stay in school marry later, are more likely to go into more options and choice over who they marry. But there are cultural tensions. Worthwhile employment options need to be available post school/college otherwise education loses its usefulness for women. Women (in forced marriages) need more education on; Their rights Their options Support available In Helen's view a key issue is the resistance men have towards greater equality for women. 15.23 – 20.29 The issues related to women's rights are global issues. Karen comments on the situation in the USA where; 1 in 16 American women raped as first sexual encounter 1 in 5 women in college experienced sexual assault These figures may be “tip of the iceberg” reference  MeToo movement Women are seen as survivors.  There are regions where there is greater prevalence but forced marriage occurs everywhere. Helen is working with Karma Nirvana a UK  agency working in the area of forced marriage She hopes to be identify communities where forced marriage takes place and the underlying factors which promote forced marriage. Proving coercion under present law, however, is proving to be a problem. 20.29 – 25.27 Todd comments on the disproportionate proportion of young women being trafficked and asks how effective the language of modern slavery,  anti-trafficking and the focus on SDG 8.7 can be in changing the situation for women. Karen sees a greater awareness  of trafficking  but feels the  key factors  which make women vulnerable needs more work; eg the role of; Poverty Lack of opportunity She also suggests that whilst related trafficking for sex and trafficking for work may have different root causes, which makes intervention problematic. Helen points out that the UN Special Rapporteur on forced marriage argues that linking the issue to modern slavery is an effective way of leveraging action against forced marriage and trafficking. A link is perceived between servile marriage and modern slavery and the global commitment to ending it.  The rapporteur sees this as a way to leverage action on  gender equality. Helen adds that initial research shows links between forced marriage trafficking and modern slavery. It suggests that forced marriage also has different root causes which leave people vulnerable to trafficking and modern slavery. 25.27 -  end Karen says that helping women move from victims to survivors and finally to become active members of society offers hope for the future. Giving women the opportunity to rebuild their lives through education and employment gives them and their families a stake in society and is a hopeful message Links and references 1.  Universal declaration of human rights article 16 2.  SDG 5.3

Addictions & Wellness with Paul Andrew "Happiness is a very strong medicine." This week on the show, we share a conversation we recorded back in early August with Paul Andrew from Tulíta, in the Sahtú Region of Denendeh. We talk about addictions, community challenges such as pain, loss, grief and depression, and healing rooted in the teachings of Elders and Ancestors. We discuss the connections between addictions and grief, and discover uplifting similarities in our cultural teachings around health and wellness. Paul shares what he says would be comparative to the Ten Commandments from his culture, the Three Commandments his Elders have left him to share. Gerry tells a story in which he was told the answer to a question about why our communities are struggling with addictions today. The Elders, speaking through an interpreter, said to Gerry, “Tell him we know why we’re like this.” We talk about living in solutions, and processing loss. We are very excited to share this conversation and these teachings with you. Due to some initial technical difficulties with our software tools, we needed to get creative and so we recorded this conversation from inside Gerry’s vehicle parked outside of his home, with his phone plugged into the hands-free! We did our best with the audio, but you may notice this a little in the recording. Paul Andrew was born along the Twitya River in the Mackenzie Mountains across from Tulít’a, NT. He was raised in the Sahtú Region of Treaty 11 Territory, growing up on the land in the Mackenzie Mountains across from Tulít’a before spending seven years attending residential school as a young man. After many years in residential school, Paul is a student of Dene history, including but not limited to connection to the environment, Dene understandings of cosmology, pharmacology, ecology and Indigenous spirituality. Paul became Chief of Tulita at the age of 22, the year before the Berger Inquiry heard testimony from across the Mackenzie Valley with regards to a proposed pipeline construction project. Paul worked as a broadcaster for CBC for 30 years before retiring in 2012. While at CBC, Paul covered all the biggest Northern stories of the age. After hosting On the Trapline, Focus North and Northbeat, he launched the multi-language phone-in show Ehts'ula. He's also known as a singer-songwriter, performing in his regional dialect of the Slavey language. Paul also served as the Vice President of the Dene Nation. In 2012, Paul was appointed to chair the NWT Minister’s Forum on Addictions and Community Wellness, a committee which was created to facilitate a community-engaged action plan meant to advance healing and wellness across the Northwest Territories. The committee worked to make recommendations to the department of Health and Social Services based on feedback from hearings in communities across the NWT. In May of 2017, Paul was awarded the Order of the Northwest Territories. The Order of the Northwest Territories, established in 2013 by the Territorial Emblems and Honours Act, recognizes individuals who have served with the greatest distinction and excelled in any field of endeavour benefiting the people of the NWT or elsewhere. It is the highest honour awarded to NWT residents. These days, Paul composes and performs songs in his first language: Mountain Dene, part of the North Slavey language. He visits the Mackenzie Mountains regularly to never forget ehts’ula. https://vimeo.com/76167675

In Episode 4 of The Rights Track, Todd asks Kevin Bales, Professor of Contemporary Slavery at the University of Hull, about modern day slavery, the challenges in identifying and counting victims, his work on the Global Slavery Index and how it's used to hold Governments and countries to account over the problem. He also discusses his book, Blood and Earth in which he looks at how modern day slavery and climate change intersect. Here are some notes and links on their discussion: 00.00-6.20 mins Why it's important to measure slavery and why it's a major challenge to do so The advances and pushes that have taken place in the last decade to account for slavery Some historical context around the abolition of slavery The importance of understanding and agreeing a core definition of modern day slavery rather than enumerating examples of it An interesting example of how slavery can operate in India 6.20-11.00 mins The Global Slavery Index - what it is and what it tells us about the prevalence of slavery in the world What data has been collected and is available Issues around sample sizes and how these have been addressed Qatar - how the Index has gathered information from individuals in ‘supplying countries' to determine extent of the problem in a country which won't allow researchers in to determine the extent of slavery 11.00-17.44 Using a scale to ‘name and shame' worst offenders via the media but why this approach has shortcomings How Kevin and colleagues have used the Index to push Governments and countries that ‘should and could' be doing better e.g. Norway The geographical spread of slaves in a country and the developments being made in accounting for that Plans to survey individual states in India The thinking behind the maps presented on the Index and the techniques and sources used to get estimations and predictions for countries where surveys are not undertaken Work published in the Royal Statistical Society's Worldwide Statistics Day issue on the work of the Global Slavery Index 17.45-22.33 mins Prevalence of slavery in Europe - research featured in Human Rights Quarterly Explanation of the ‘Dark Figure' in accounting for crimes - the gap between the reported incidents of a crime and the actual figure and the problems applying that to slavery The large and alarming dark figures for for European, particularly Eastern European countries The proportions of victims of slavery that Kevin estimates are captured in the Index 22.33-30.00 mins Slavery in Great Britain - difficulties of applying surveys in rich countries Using multiple systems estimations in slavery crime (including an explanation of how that works) How Kevin worked with the Home Office and the legal/political/ethical challenges that posed How they used different lists to estimate slavery in GB as 11-15,000 cases Positive response from policy makers and civil servants and other countries in using this approach How these techniques could be employed at a local level Why reliable metrics can help progress 30.00-end Kevin's book Blood and Earth Ecocide - what it is and why we need to think about it How Kevin came to investigate the links between slavery and environmental degradation The links between deforestation and slavery Some interesting facts and figures around slavery and what happens when you take deforestation into account What all this means for climate change i.e. the enforcement of anti slavery laws could help reduce carbon emissions Additional reading for interest from our collaborator Open Democracy Workers' rights really are human rights Beyond slavery

Our Scripture verse for today is John 6:35 which reads: "And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst." Our History of Black Americans and the Black Church quote for today is from Lee June, a professor at Michigan State University and the author of the book, "Yet With A Steady Beat: The Black Church through a Psychological and Biblical Lens." He said, "At offering time, the technique of announcing amounts is used [in the black church]. Sometimes the appeal is for people to match the pastor in giving a certain amount that is stated from the pulpit. Thus, the ‘real' Christian is the one who can match the pastor. Another technique is to ask for a certain amount based on one's ‘status' in the church. For example, pastors may be asked to give one amount, ‘ministers' another, deacons another, and so on. All of these, while they may be effective in securing the desired offering, violate basic scriptural principles and more than often induce guilt." In this podcast, we are using as our texts: From Slavery to Freedom, by John Hope Franklin, The Negro Church in America by E. Franklin Frazier, and The Black Church In The U.S. by William A. Banks. Our first topic for today is titled "The Slave Trade and the New World (Part 2)" from the book, "From Slavery to Freedom" by John Hope Franklin. It was the forces let loose by the Renaissance and the Commercial Revolution that created the modern institution of slavery and the slave trade. The Renaissance provided a new kind of freedom—the freedom to pursue those ends that would be most beneficial to the soul and the body. It developed into such a passionate search that it resulted in the destruction of long established practices and beliefs and even in the destruction of the rights of others to pursue the same ends for their own benefit. ... Our second topic for today is "The Negro Church: A Nation Within a Nation, Part 2" from The Negro Church in America by E. Franklin Frazier. He writes: --- The “Invisible Institution” Merges with the Institutional Church (Continued) The most obvious result of the merging of the “invisible institution” of the church which had grown up among the slaves with the institutional church of the Negroes who were free before the Civil War was the rapid growth in the size of the Negro church organization. But there was a much more important result of this merger which is of primary concern to our study. ... Our third and final topic for today is from "The Black Church in the U.S.: Its Origin, Growth, Contributions, and Outlook" by Dr. William A. Banks. Today we are looking at part 2 of Chapter 4: "Reconstruction and Retaliation -- 1866 to 1914" THE RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD -- 1866 to 1877 Freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, Negroes found themselves far from enjoying equality. True, in those restless days immediately following the Civil War, commonly called "Reconstruction," many blacks held positions of prominence and power. In fact, in the early 1870s, seven Negroes were in Congress at the same time. A total of twenty were elected to the House of Representatives during this era; two were preachers. ...

"The Long Winter" is an appropriately seasonal tale from the Dene tribe of Canada. The Dene tribe is often called the Slavey tribe, because they were sometimes enslaved by their enemies, the Cree. Similar to our popular Zuni story we call "Coyote and Eagle", this nature myth about rescuing warmth (in the case of the Zuni myth it's the sun itself) from a weather thief is a charming explanation of the cycle of seasons. We come to you from the North Pole (which looks suspiciously like South Carolina at the moment), where we're busy feeding Santa's reindeer, outfitting his sleigh and sewing holes in his gift bag. Have a happy holiday season, and we look forward to seeing you in 2013. Happy Listening!
