We asked WBAI listeners for their thoughts on the War on Iran as it enters its fourth day. They didn't disappoint.

In our first segment, Nancy Hoch joins us in studio to inspire listeners on how we can protect our neighbours and prepare for ICE.  Hoch talks about the power of finding community in a time of rising authoritarianism, some of the tactics activists have innovated to thwart ICE and keep immigrants safe and how she took the lead in organizing an ICE resistance mutual aid group in her own "Little Caribbean" neighborhood in Brooklyn. To see her full article, go to indypendent.org/issue/301. In our second segment, we are joined by Danny Pearlstein of the Rider's Alliance, a member-led organization of New York City bus and subway riders that has been organizing for over a decade for a better and more just mass transit system. Topics discussed include expanding eligibility for the city's Fair Fares program that provides free and discounted bus fares for lower-income New Yorkers and the future of the Fordham Road Bus Corridor and concerns that the mayor was backing off his campaign trail commitment to speed up bus traffic in that area. In our final segment, WBAI listeners share their thoughts on the war on Iran.

Click here to learn more!This episode of Here and Now is a compilation of Ram Dass exploring the use of psychedelic chemicals. We begin in the mid-1960s, back when Ram Dass was still Richard Alpert. In this interview with the CBC, he talks about how the psychedelic experience can help us see past individual differences. The next stop is 1968 and the famed WBAI radio talks. Ram Dass details his first experience with psychedelic chemicals and the process he went through of losing his attachment to his social roles. We move on to 1977 and a radio interview at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Ram Dass touches on the role of these chemicals in the spiritual awareness of people, recreational versus sacramental use, and the importance of set and setting.Up next is a retreat in 1989 where Ram Dass answers questions from a breakout group. He gives a brief history of psychedelic chemicals and talks about how they can provide a fresh look at the universe, expanding the boundaries of consciousness. The final stop is a psychedelic conference at Chapman University in 1994. Ram Dass reflects on the impact that psychedelics had on his life and how they influenced his work with death and dying.The Ram Dass community gathers regularly to engage in meaningful discussions about the podcast. We invite you to join us and share your curiosities, insights, and wisdom. Sign up for the General Fellowship to receive event invitations directly in your inbox.“And the predicament is that as you develop a model of who you are and how the universe works, it's extremely hard to get out of that, which is called the ego, really. It's very hard to get out of that. And what the chemical allows you to do is set that aside for a moment and see the universe from a different vantage point and find places in yourself, which is why it was used in religious traditions, find the deeper parts of your being that lie behind your thinking mind.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
