Podcasts about Solidarity

At this year's Velo-city conference in Gdansk, the theme was “Energizing Solidarity,” in honor of the city's history as the cradle of the Solidarity labor movement that helped bring down Communism in Poland. Velo-city is an incredibly good-mood event put on each year by the European Cyclists' Federation, where people come from all over the world to share best practices in urban cycling, and to connect with their fellow advocates, elected officials, and other members of the wider cycling community.  Sarah talked with advocates, government officials, and researchers how bicycles build solidarity as people around the world fight for democracy and our planet's health.

Apparently, you can't keep a good grifter down, as Billy McFarland's seven-figure Fyre Fest deal collapsed, so he's hawking the brand on eBay like a box of junk. Meanwhile, Indeed and Glassdoor are laying off over 1,000 workers, probably to pay for the AI that's jacking up our electric bills. Speaking of AI, a Tesla robotaxi crashed itself while Elon Musk's Grok chatbot went full Nazi, which is of course being installed in Teslas "next week." Fittingly, X CEO Linda Yaccarino stepped down and promptly lost her blue check. To cap off the dystopian news, the DOJ is targeting an anti-ICE app developer, the 'click-to-cancel' rule is dead, and you can hack McDonald's with the password ‘123456'. The future is now, and it's dumber than we ever imagined.On the media front, Murderbot gets a second season, and the Jim Henson and The Beach Boys documentaries are must-sees. Sadly, Netflix canceled The Residence. We also got trailers for Neuromancer, Project Hail Mary, and Edgar Wright's The Running Man. Speaking of building the future, we took a deep dive into AI-assisted coding using tools like Cursor, building a functional app in hours with zero original code. It's a stark reminder that while the "free lunch" of AI development is ending, the future for junior coders is already cooked. This glorious new world also includes playing every retro game ever on your phone, thanks to emulators like Delta and PPSSPP and the Backbone controller, which led to a nostalgic dive into the classic soundtracks of Mega Man 2 and Wipeout XL. This all culminated in a personal victory: conquering all 4,678 boards in Mahjong Titan+, freeing us from our porcelain thrones.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Today, Taiwan is caught in the crosshairs of two imperial rivals: the US and China. This is nothing new for the island nation, which has been a battleground for competing empires for centuries, but what is new is the critical role Taiwan plays in the 21st-century world economy. For example, Taiwan manufacturers 90% of the world's most advanced microchips—the key component in everything from consumer electronics to the US military's F-35 fighter jets. In this episode of Solidarity Without Exception, co-host Ashley Smith speaks with Brian Hioe, journalist and editor of New Bloom magazine, about the history of Taiwanese struggles for self-determination, the country's position in the contemporary US-China rivalry, the increasing threat of imperial war, and the urgency of building solidarity among working-class people in Taiwan, the US, and China.Guests:Brian Hioe is a freelance journalist, translator, and one of the founding editors of New Bloom, an online magazine featuring radical perspectives on Taiwan and the Asia-Pacific. A New York native and Taiwanese-American, Hioe has an MA in East Asian Languages and Cultures from Columbia University and graduated from New York University with majors in History, East Asian Studies, and English Literature. He was Democracy and Human Rights Service Fellow at the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy from 2017 to 2018 and is currently a Non-Resident Fellow at the University of Nottingham's Taiwan Studies Programme, as well as board member of the Taiwan Foreign Correspondents' Club.Additional resources:New Bloom website, Facebook page, X page, and InstagramEli Friedman, Kevin Lin, Rosa Liu, & Ashley Smith, Haymarket Books, China in Global Capitalism: Building International Solidarity Against Imperial RivalryBrian J.

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander—a longtime fixture of the city's progressive Jewish life—got 11% of the vote in the Democratic mayoral primary, but his cross-endorsement of Zohran Mamdani helped propel the latter to victory. This partnership inspired many: In a race marred by Islamophobia and false accusations of antisemitism (even against Lander himself), the cooperation between a Muslim and Jewish candidate, focused squarely on beating disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo and making the city more affordable, was a breath of fresh air. On this episode of On the Nose, editor-at-large Peter Beinart talks to Lander about encountering Mamdani and Cuomo on the campaign trail, his cross-endorsement of Mamdani despite their differences on Israel, and what he'd like to see from New York Democrats who have been slow to support Mamdani. This conversation first appeared in the Beinart Notebook on Substack.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Related Videos and ArticlesLander curses Cuomo in YiddishLander and Mamdani's cross-endorsement videoLander and Mamdani on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert“Brad Lander Is Having a Great Day,” Emily Leibert, The Cut

Jamie is joined by Julia Gwiazdowski, a library worker and strike captain with District Council 33, to talk about the historic municipal worker strike that (probably) just ended in the great city of Philadelphia. How did things get so bad that these essential workers are making an average of just $46,000/year? What role has racism played in how this predominantly black union gets treated by the city? Mayor Cherelle Parker and the black misleadership class. All this, plus some discussion of how actions like this align with Julia's politics as an anarchist. NOTE: This episode was recorded on Tuesday, July 8. On Wednesday, July 9, a tentative agreement with the city was reached. The deal falls short of what the workers were asking, and far short of what they deserve. DC 33 might be going back to work, but the struggle continues.

A young boy growing up in South Bend, Indiana, goes to the library every week with his mother and comes back with a brown grocery bag full of books. He doesn't know it then, but it's the start of a lifelong journey of involvement in the human rights movement. Listen to Chris Grove, executive director of ESCR-Net explain how books showed him a lineage of struggle he could join, and how they are still guiding him – and his young son. From now on we are releasing the Coda as a separate show, not just part of the main Strength&Solidarity podcast.

Preaching for the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Meghan J. Clark offers a reflection on the Parable of the Good Samaritan as a call to a communal ethic of compassion: "God calls to us from the depths of our own hearts. Christ calls to us in our neighbor. How then can we together advocate for compassion and resist indifference, resist pretending nothing is wrong. That is the message I hear anew as I return once again to the parable of the Good Samaritan."Meghan J. Clark, Ph.D., is a professor of moral theology at St John's University (NY), where she students inside and outside the classroom on diverse topics in moral theology and Catholic social thought. She has conducted fieldwork on human rights and solidarity in Sudan, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Tanzania. She is author of The Vision of Catholic Social Thought: the Virtue of Solidarity and the Praxis of Human Rights (Fortress Press, 2014). Visit www.catholicwomenpreach.org/preaching/07132025 to learn more about Meghan, to read her preaching text, and for more preaching from Catholic women.

From center-left Ezra Klein to right-wing Matt Walsh, the fertility panic is an elite fixation that is rooted in a human supremacist worldview and a deep fear of slowing growth. Samuel Miller McDonald, geographer and author of the book Progress: A History of Humanity's Worst Idea, exposes how our parasitic relationship with Earth lies at the core of ecological overshoot, and why resisting authoritarianism in an age of contraction means embracing a pluralistic and just degrowth vision. Highlights include: Why our modern relationship to Earth is fundamentally parasitic - regardless of whether societies are capitalist or socialist; How media commentators resist degrowth in various stages and how their rejection reveals their lack of maturity in accepting responsibility for the ecological destruction we are causing; Why degrowth policies and practices should emphasize pluralistic, context-specific approaches rooted in democratic participation, not top-down master plans; Why many degrowth proponents have been dismissive of population concerns; Why the political right is more poised to benefit from ongoing economic contraction and why the liberal 'abundance agenda' needs to be resisted; Why conviviality and class solidarity are key to a successful degrowth transition and how modern societies undermine them; Why core values like fairness, autonomy, and ecological integrity will be essential in resisting authoritarians' claims to power in the coming challenging decades. See episode website for show notes, links, and transcript:  https://www.populationbalance.org/podcast/samuel-miller-mcdonald   OVERSHOOT | Shrink Toward Abundance OVERSHOOT tackles today's interlocked social and ecological crises driven by humanity's excessive population and consumption. The podcast explores needed narrative, behavioral, and system shifts for recreating human life in balance with all life on Earth. With expert guests from wide-ranging disciplines, we examine the forces underlying overshoot: from patriarchal pronatalism that is fueling overpopulation, to growth-biased economic systems that lead to consumerism and social injustice, to the dominant worldview of human supremacy that subjugates animals and nature. Our vision of shrinking toward abundance inspires us to seek pathways of transformation that go beyond technological fixes toward a new humanity that honors our interconnectedness with all beings.  Hosted by Nandita Bajaj and Alan Ware.

Music Not Diving is supported by AC55ID... head over to www.ac55id.com to check out the fastest growing electronic music marketplace, a central hub for music discovery, streaming and purchasing!And for artists and labels... use the code Scuba6 for six months free use of the platform!!--Watch the full video version of this episode over at youtube.com/@WeNotDivingThis is easily in my top 3 favourite episodes of the 170-odd we've done. The sound of it was originally pretty terrible though, it was a constant battle in the early days of the podcast to get people recording in good spaces.Luckily we kept most of the individual mic channels and the software has come on leaps and bounds recently, so it's now very easy to convert a very roomy mic recording into something that sounds like it was done in a proper radio studio.Steve Davis was one of the very biggest sporting celebrities in the 1980s. He totally dominated the sport of snooker in Tiger Woods-like fashion, winning the world title six times and setting unprecedented levels of excellence in front of enormous television audiences. The 18m who tuned in on BBC2 to watch him lose the 1985 final on the final ball of the final frame, well after midnight, is still a record.But he's also a major music head, DJ and modular synth-playing member of experimental group The Utopia Strong, who has always been a very interesting character. The Utopia Strong releases since we first broadcast this conversation two years ago are... well, strong, especially the BBC Sessions release which was recorded in a live session at the legendary Maida Vale studios.And he's also Eddie Hearn's Godfather.So we talk about all of the above, but perhaps most interestingly the experience of fame at that level and how to cope with it. Having a really top manager helps, we discover.This is well worth a re-listen if you caught it first time round, and if you didn't - well, you're in for a treat.--If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon!

In a powerful interview, author Sarah Schulman reflects on decades of activism, from fighting AIDS to advocating for Palestinian liberation, revealing key lessons learned along the way.SAVE THE DATE July 16th 7pm EDT:  Laura hosts an online conversation just for our donors. It's a chance to connect, ask questions, and hear what's coming up behind the scenes. Make a one off donation or become a sustaining member by making it monthly go to LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Description: What is “solidarity” and what does it require? Giving up on perfection, for one thing, says Sarah Schulman, author of “Conflict is Not Abuse,” and so much more. Award-winning writer, teacher, playwright and activist, Schulman's latest book is “The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity”, in which she reflects on years of experiments and learning, from the 1980s to today. In this episode, find out what role GRITtv, an earlier iteration of Flanders' show, played in the movement for Palestinian liberation, and hear a discussion of the Harlem artist Alice Neel. Schulman sits on the advisory board of Jewish Voice for Peace. Her non-fiction books include “Conflict is Not Abuse: Overstating Harm, Community Responsibility, and the Duty of Repair” and “Let the Record Show: A Political History of ACT UP New York, 1987-1993”. Also in this episode, a commentary from Laura on the assassination of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman, a strategic progressive who practiced solidarity.“When I confronted the Israeli occupation of Palestine, something resonated for me emotionally between that and the AIDS experience. What I felt was similar was that people who were endangered were being falsely depicted as dangerous.” - Sarah Schulman“Right now we're in the middle of a cataclysm of fascism and there's no quick fix.

In this episode of YAS Podcast, host AM Davies (AMD) discusses the intricate facets of sex work and identity with guest Jack Parker, a trans sex worker and activist. The conversation delves into Parker's experiences within the sex work community, the transition from pre- to post-transition work, and the unique challenges faced by trans sex workers. They also touch upon the broader socio-political landscape affecting sex work, including recent legislative efforts in the UK and their global implications. Special attention is given to Parker's new book 'Hooker Mentality,' which explores overarching themes of commodification, intimacy, and the reframing of societal norms around sex work.

Have you made peace with yourself?Today I want to introduce you to Vasilis, a human living a life of intention, one that values and chooses moments of peace that remind him of the finality of life, one that sees life with a heart that does not fear what it holds for him but rather holds with an open hand what life has become, because of who he has chosen to beFor Vasilis It's not about what we become to those who do not know us, or those that see our accolades, but rather if we are recognized for our integrity, it is there that lies peace and value of what and who we grant access and time with us to; it is this and so much more that deeply impacted me in my time with Vasilis We chat about equality in humanity, about a desire for the world to become a better place for those just beginning life, and the difference between being known for ones integrity and not for fame that is fleeting He shares why solidarity is a word and a lesson we each need to value, why communication and connection in how we interact with others and in what determines the value we place on who someone is changes thingsVasilis is one who is sharing his passion, his culture, and the simple and valuable lesson, to show up and learn with an open heart. He is one that I am honored to be seen and heard by, on that I am honored to share time with, and one I am truly excited to share a part of with you So tune in today and meet Vasilis, someone who will remind you what it is to press into simplicity over publicity, and to choose actions and a life that allows you to make peace with yourself And to you Vasilis thank you, thank you for sharing your kitchen, your time, your joy, wisdom, and most of all, allowing me to walk out with a friend. You are a truly remarkable human for how you choose to show up in the world, how you see and allow yourself to be seen, and the gentle way you allow others to be a part of something in your kitchen. It was a highlight of my time to share this conversation with you and I look forward to seeing you again.

Across the country, demonstrators are preparing for a weekend of protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, Donald Trump's planned June 14 military parade, and Trump himself.Ground zero for these demonstrations is likely to be Los Angeles, where heavily armed ICE agents have carried out raids at churches, graduations, parking lots, and scores of other gathering spots recently.“ The level of armament that these guys are wearing is out of a GI Joe movie,” said Salvador G. Sarmiento, the campaign director and lawyer for the 70-member National Day Laborer Organizing Network. “It seems like the federal police is just driving around willy-nilly — dressed up as a goon squad — picking up people that they see on a street corner.” “The federal government [is] violently taking people from their work sites in military fashion,” added Jonah Valdez, reporter for The Intercept.This week on The Intercept Briefing, Sarmiento and Valdez joined host Jordan Uhl to discuss the wave of ICE operations sweeping Los Angeles that have sparked a week of protests and the militarized response from law enforcement.As people head to the streets again this weekend, protesters should be informed about their constitutional rights and safety options.
