This week, Off-Kilter is wrapping up our ongoing series digging into why in the famous words of Audre Lorde, “self-care is political warfare. A recurring theme uplifted by several guests throughout this series has been the importance of bringing your whole self to the work—a phrase that, like so much within the topic of self-care, has become watered down enough in recent years that it's about as likely to spur eye rolls as genuine interest in many circles.  So to dig a little deeper beneath the surface of what it really looks like to bring one's whole self to social justice work, Rebecca sat down with the brilliant Andraea Lavant, a longtime disability justice advocate, to delve deeply into the subject of claiming one's identity, and what that looks like as part of self-care. We had a far-ranging conversation about Andraea's own journey to claim all parts of her identity as a black, disabled, queer woman, and how that ultimately led her to start a strategy and communications firm focused on culture shift and building a society and an economy where disabled people of color belong. For more: Learn more about and connect with Andraea's firm, Lavant Consulting Follow Andraea on Twitter @andraealavant  Here's the Off-Kilter episode feat. writers Alex Ashley Fox and Emily Ladau about the harms that come from “masking” to fit in at work, for autistic as well as neurotypical people with and without disabilities Here's the Off-Kilter episode feat. Social Security Works executive director and We Act Radio cofounder Alex Lawson about tapping into your own inner weirdo (in the best possible way) and finding the technique that works for you And here's the Off-Kilter episode that memorialized Judy Heumann, godmother of the disability rights movement

As Rebecca's come to learn over the years, a key pillar of radical self-care when it comes to doing social justice work (and, really, life in general) is—to paraphrase jazz legend Thelonious Monk—finding the technique that's relevant for you, versus mirroring the status quo for the sake of fitting in. And there are few leaders in the economic justice movement who epitomize this kind of be-your-eccentric-self-without-apology genius to the extent that our next guest Alex Lawson does. As you'll hear in this episode, Alex wears a lot of hats, including executive director of Social Security Works, which has for years been at the forefront of the movement to expand Social Security; he's also one of the founders and co-owners of We Act Radio, one of the radio stations that broadcasts this very show over the airwaves. Rebecca and Alex had a far-ranging conversation about what it means to find the technique that's relevant for you in the context of social justice work—and how this shows up in the context of radical self-care.

In the last years of his life, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. rejected duopoly politics and challenged the roots of the crises we face, what he called the triple evils of racism, capitalism and militarism. As many people active in the Civil Rights Movement moved into the Democratic Party, Dr. King taught that the movement must be independent of political parties and be "the conscience" of them. For this, Dr. King was shunned and hated. In this interview from MLK Day in 2015, Kevin Zeese and I spoke with Kymone Freeman, co-founder of We Act Radio in Washington,DC, JasiriX, an activist and artist out of Pittsburgh, PA, and Cat Brooks, an activist in Oakland, CA about the revival of the radical Dr. King and how they are continuing his work in their communities.

Thom puts his head together with fellow Progressive talk show host Dean Obeidallah- when will be the moment of maximum danger if Trump is not re-elected? Are there lessons in the history of the middle east for dealing with presidents who don't want to give up power?Plus... Is Trump a strongman or the messiah? Did using military force for his church photo-op violate the establishment clause? And what is the real point of civil disobedience?Also Kymone Freeman, Artist/Activist Co-Founder We ACT Radio on how 16th Street has been re-labeled by the mayor of DC as Black Lives Matter road in front of the White House barricade.Thom reads from Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom by David W. Blight, and Guns Down: How to Defeat the NRA and Build a Safer Future with Fewer Guns by Igor Volsky.

No Compromise on Medicare for All and Social Security: Alex Lawson, Executive Director at Social Security Works and Co-Founder/Producer at We Act Radio discusses these two linch-pin programs for health care and economic security and why protecting and expanding them is the bottom line for health and security— in conversation with Alison Rose Levy        

Thom conducts a brief straw poll on Democratic candidates while reflecting on the history of Guy Fawkes Day. - The reasons we should kill Daylight Savings Time before it kills us. - Book Club reading from "The Case For Impeaching Trump" by Elizabeth Holtzman. - Kymone Freeman, Co-Founder and host of We Act Radio shares a public thank you to Sean Doolittle for his rebuff of Trump's hypocritical gesture.

Alex Lawson on why he co-founded We Act Radio, Off-Kilter’s Washington, D.C. anchor station; how progressives shifted the Overton Window on Social Security expansion; and why he likes to dress as a corporate pirate.

Today, a fascinating interview as Thom and former CIA agent turned author Malcolm Nance speculate on what was really decided at the Trump-Putin secret summit in Helsinki. Thom connects the dots on what could be a huge story as Florida congressmen from both parties report the Russians have infiltrated the voter registration system there. Has this resulted in two percent fewer Democrats on the rolls? Trump calls Amarosa a 'dog' and other news stories of the crazy new normal. Next, Dr. Joe Romm wonders if we're getting dangerously close to catastrophic climate change. Kymone Freeman of We Act Radio and Black Lives Matter looks at the failure of the police-escorted alt-right rally this weekend as well as the overt racism coming out of the White House and other haters.

The death of Christopher Barry came unexpectedly. He was the only child of former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry and Effi Barry and had eulogized both of his parents. A group of friends gathered at We Act Radio in Anacostia to share memories; many that did not make it into many media stories of his death. Thanks to Kymone Freeman for sharing these powerful words.

In most D.C. neighborhoods, there’s a person you have to go see to get anything done, and to get in to see them, you usually need an introduction. In Anacostia that person is Teresa Howe-Jones. The 83-year-old troubleshoots overdue bills, tenant issues and other problems. She has a 2,000-person phone list, and she knows how to use it. Anacostia Unmapped contributor Kymone Freeman invites her to his station, We Act Radio. Plus we hear poet Fred Joiner perform "Song for Anacostia."

Anacostia, the neighborhood in the Southeast part of Washington, was originally known as “the remainder of the District.” And in many ways that’s how it’s been treated for years. This spring, WAMU presents “Anacostia Unmapped,” a project that invites people who live and work in the community to take us inside — to the beloved street corners of Anacostia and the changing ones. Residents have lots to say about what’s going on—about transformation and displacement; about crime and community; about the beauty and burden of history.

Anacostia. The Southeast D.C. neighborhood was originally known as "the remainder of the District." And in many ways, that’s how it’s been treated and thought of for years. This spring, WAMU 88.5 presents Anacostia Unmapped, a project that invites people who live and work in the community to take us inside. First up, we introduce one of the project's producers, Kymone Freeman, whose day job is running We Act Radio. He's been thinking about where Anacostia fits on a city map.

Coast to coast communities are celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day this year by rejecting the watered-down version of Dr. King and lifting up the Dr. King who questioned capitalism, who saw the connections between racism, militarism and economic injustice and who promoted independent politics. We will speak about Dr. King’s politics and how they relate to the current economic and political environment. We will also talk about the current protests. Kymone Freeman who is co-founder of We Act Radio and also a leading organizer of DC Ferguson and other local groups demanding police reform will be our guest. He will also speak about his new play, “Whites Only.” We will also be joined by Jasiri X and Cat Brooks. For more information, visit www.ClearingtheFOGRadio.org.
