Podcasts about we will not cancel us

We're in the middle of a hostile government takeover, and Faith Organizers Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams make it clear that no one is coming to save us except for us. Using the movement for reproductive freedom as a lens, Kelley and Terry talk about the dangers of waiting on perfect change agents and spending too much time focused on adversaries in justice movement work. If you've felt overwhelmed, exhausted, stressed, or even a little bit hopeless, listen in while our Faith Organizers help you gain perspective, re-orient toward movement health, and achieve deeper clarity around the complex solutions necessary to bring about the thriving future we truly desire.

adrienne maree brown is always cultivating a garden of healing ideas. Informed by decades of movement facilitation, somatics, science fiction scholarship and doula work, adrienne has authored essential works such as Emergent Strategy, Pleasure Activism, We Will Not Cancel Us and their most recent, Loving Corrections. From the mystical to the earthly, adrienne finds the equilibrium she needs in carefully working with all of the perspective her big three provide. Isa Nakazawa and adrienne discuss the discernment of her Virgo, the underworld of her Scorpio and the risk taking of her Aries. Along the way, adrienne shares their mistakes as generously as their wisdom.

One of my favorite conversations on or off mic with anybody any time--it is pure joy to welcome adrienne maree brown--an absolute force of a writer/public intellectual/creative genius, one of the thinkers who energizes me most, and makes me feel most hopeful about the future. This conversation has everything: from Kendrick (and the constructive implications of Drake being "called in!"), to the Neverending Story, to what it means for her to be "steeped in God/steeped in the holy," her journey from a conservative evangelical upbringing to the wide open spaces she is in now, to the essential soul to soul recognition we can have that transcends the boundaries of mere words, and how she finds a way to remain tender in a time that feels anything, but. In a moment that feels bleak for many of our friends, her clear-eyed assessment of this apocalyptic time--and yet absolute fearlessness about it, is oxygen, an invitation to the kind of "long time" she finds in nature and her own connection to a larger story. I was especially excited to talk to her too, about how her work in her brilliant new book Loving Corrections has helped me find language for naming our need for acknowledging harm and making amends, without the moralistic baggage that religious versions of those ideas sometimes carry. You may know her from books like Emergent Strategy, Pleasure Activism, We Will Not Cancel Us, or from her hilarious and poignant IG posts, or have heard her in conversation with folks we love like Glennon Doyle and Krista Tippett. She is "growing a garden of healing ideas. Informed by decades of movement facilitation, somatics, science fiction scholarship and doula work." However you know her, I hope you know her or get to know her better, and contend with her critical witness . What a gift this stunning conversation is! It has been a minute from my brief holiday/winter term hibernation, but we are back with a bang, with a lot more goodness to come in the days ahead...I know you will find this as life-giving as I did!

The wonderful civil rights elder Vincent Harding liked to look around the world for what he called "live human signposts" — human beings who embody ways of seeing and becoming and who point the way forward to the world we want to inhabit. And adrienne maree brown, who has inspired worlds of social creativity with her notions of "pleasure activism" and "emergent strategy," is surely one of these. We're listening with new ears as she brings together so many of the threads that have recurred in this season of On Being: on looking the harsh complexity of this world full in the face while dancing with joy as life force and fuel, and on keeping clear eyes on the reasons for ecological despair while giving oneself over to a loving apprenticeship with the natural world as teacher and guide. A love of visionary science fiction also finds a robust place in her work and this conversation. She altogether shines a light on an emerging ecosystem in our world over and against the drumbeat of what is fractured and breaking — the cultivation of old and new ways of seeing, towards a transformative wholeness of living.adrienne maree brown's influential books include Emergent Strategy, We Will Not Cancel Us, and Pleasure Activism. More recently, she has published Maroons, a work of speculative fiction, and she co-edited the anthology Octavia's Brood: Science Fiction from Social Justice Movements. She also co-hosts the podcast How to Survive the End of the World. And, a special heads up: in late summer 2024, adrienne maree brown will publish a phenomenal new book — Loving Corrections.Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.______Sign up for The Pause — a Saturday morning companion newsletter to the On Being podcast season, and our mailing list for news and invitations all year round.

Content Warning: sexual assault, child abuse, addiction, racism, and other heavy themes are discussed. Host Shawna Potter talks to Clementine Morrigan and Jay Lesoleil, the hosts of Fucking Cancelled (two L's because they're Canadian), a podcast that examines all things related to cancel culture in lefty/progressive circles. In this episode, Shawna aims to learn more about their critiques and what influenced them. They talk about real life experiences with cancel culture, the effects it has on victims of violence, trauma-responses, how to best support survivors of rape, sexual assault, and abuse, and so much more. If you're asking yourself, “What's the big deal, aren't call outs just a consequence of bad behavior?” you're not alone - and they have an answer ready. This episode does not cover every facet or nuance of responding to harm. It should be noted that most of the content centers on gender-based violence, and therefore might not sufficiently address racism and other forms of identity-based violence. There is no one right way to respond to your own abuse or assault. While public call-outs are one tool in the toolbox, the guests of this episode argue that it is an ineffective and overused one.

As a society, we are struggling with how to hold people accountable. The trend of cancel culture is public shaming with the hope that those who are canceled will lose their power and position. Often, they regroup anyway and do the same thing again in a new place and a new community. This is the cycle of abuse at play. This week, I welcome Bay Area sex educator Charlie Glickman on the podcast to talk about being canceled and the self-discovery that unfolded in the multi-year accountability process of healing himself, his relationships, and his place in his community.  While speaking on his experience, Charlie explains how to set up an accountability team, how essential somatic therapy is in rewiring the ways in which we respond when under stress, and how he discovered his own trauma response. We also talk about the ways that gender role conditioning impacted him, how the patriarchy sets up boys to be divorced from their emotions at a young age, and how this makes it impossible to have the men these boys grow into communicate responsibly until they unlearn the characteristics of toxic masculinity. Charlie is a case study of how we can approach people whom we need to hold accountable. He also models what can be expected when someone addresses their own trauma. This is an important episode and an even more important topic that we will all need to address if we want to make changes in our society to move forward and end cycles of violence.

Amidst the Syndrome H-8 pandemic, she learns the importance of community and connection through an abandoned urban landscape. adrienne marie brown grows healing ideas in public through her multi-genre writing, her music and her podcasts. Informed by 25 years of movement facilitation, somatics, Octavia E Butler scholarship and her work as a doula, brown has nurtured Emergent Strategy, Pleasure Activism, Radical Imagination and Transformative Justice as ideas and practices for transformation. She is the author/editor of seven published texts and the founder of the Emergent Strategy Ideation Institute, where she is now the writer-in-residence.

In this episode, author and movement facilitator adrienne maree brown shares her desire to see our movements become welcoming sanctuaries “where we get to taste and feel this world we're trying to co-create.” Unfortunately, this is far from the reality that many of us experience in Leftist spaces. As adrienne explains, capitalism and other oppressive systems tend to infiltrate our movements, making us competitive, critical, and eager to punish. “It's been breaking my heart to be inside of movements and feel how these huge systems that we're trying to take down infiltrate our practices. We become competitive with each other, we become hypercritical of each other, we become punitive with each other.”adrienne has 25 years of experience as a movement facilitator supporting social and environmental justice work. Vast praxis and reflection in conversation with other changemakers have grounded her deep insights about cancel & call-out culture. For more on these topics, I highly recommend adrienne's short book We Will Not Cancel Us.Adrienne has also written extensively about pleasure activism, emergent strategy, abolition, radical imagination, & transformative justice. She recently published a work of visionary fiction titled Maroons, the second novel in the Black Dawn trilogy set in the abandoned urban landscape of Detroit in the aftermath of a supervirus that targets Black people.

Faith Organizers Kelley Fox and Terry Williams struggle with how the practice of restorative and transformative justice gets lived out in a flawed and systemically-unjust world. Confronting very real desires for retribution and vengeance, Kelley and Terry go deep on the theory, practice, and spiritual necessity behind letting go of violence in order to embrace thriving, aiming for a world where everyone can succeed together at the very same time.

Harm occurs on an unfortunately wide spectrum. How do we find the appropriate and commensurate path for repair? How do we know if someone is overstating harm? When does the pursuit of justice turn into the abuse of others? And what do we do about it?

“What a time to be alive,” adrienne maree brown has written. “Right now we are in a fast river together — every day there are changes that seemed unimaginable until they occurred.” adrienne maree brown and others use many words and phrases to describe what she does, and who she is: A student of complexity. A student of change and of how groups change together. A “scholar of belonging.” A “scholar of magic.” She grew up loving science fiction, and thought we'd be driving flying cars by now; and yet, has found in speculative fiction the transformative force of vision and imagination that might in fact save us. Our younger listeners have asked to hear adrienne maree brown's voice on On Being, and here she is, as we enter our own time of evolution. This conversation shines a light on an emerging ecosystem in our world over and against the drumbeat of what is fractured and breaking: working with the complex fullness of reality, and cultivating old and new ways of seeing, to move towards a transformative wholeness of living.--In this time of new suns here at On Being, we are in learning mode — listening to the world, and listening to you.Would you take a few minutes to visit onbeing.org/survey and answer a few questions that will help us know who you are and how On Being can accompany you in the time ahead?We would be so grateful…

What does a just climate future look like? In this bonus episode Ayana and guest adrienne maree brown discuss Imagine 2200, Fix's climate-fiction contest, which recognizes stories that envision the next 180 years of equitable climate progress, imagining intersectional worlds of abundance, adaptation, reform, and hope. Turning towards fueling the imagination, this episode touches on stewarding a just future and the value of presence with ourselves, each other, and the movements we dedicate ourselves to. We are in a battle for our attention and for our imaginations. The winner will determine the future of the climate and of humanity. Facing this reality, and the reality of a changing climate is not easy, but despair around this can bring us closer to the earth and to each other when it is used as a learning tool. In the shift from panic to practice, visionary fiction is vital medicine, and adrienne guides us to stretch our minds to see a future beyond what the confines of white supremacy, colonialism, heteropatriarchy, and capitalism tell us is possible. adrienne maree brown is the writer-in-residence at the Emergent Strategy Ideation Institute, and author of Grievers (the first novella in a trilogy on the Black Dawn imprint), Holding Change: The Way of Emergent Strategy Facilitation and Mediation, We Will Not Cancel Us and Other Dreams of Transformative Justice, Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good, Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds and the co-editor of Octavia's Brood: Science Fiction from Social Justice Movements and How to Get Stupid White Men Out of Office.

It is important for me to pay homage to those people who have impacted my life. The Audre Lorde's, the Oprah's, the Brene Brown's.

In the conclusion to the conclusive episode of Bristlecone Firesides, Abbey, Madison, Luis, and Esther discuss the difference between Radical Solidarity and Charity. Each of us is entangled in the systems of sin in this world. While we can't fully extricate ourselves from sin, we can stand in solidarity with those most impacted by systems of sin and oppression. And truly changing the world is a long-term multigenerational process. How then can we remain committed to changing to the world without succumbing to hopelessness or resentment? How is activism a practice of letting go? Links: David O.

How do we deal with our differences differently? From our polarizing election cycle to cancel culture strategies ousting abusive and destructive institutions, society is moving through a broken capitalist system that is fracturing our relationships. One solution is generative conflict and is the only way to grow authentic relationships, says author and activist adrienne maree brown. So what can we learn from a woman who helps political people mediate their differences and social justice groups keep on track? In her new book, We Will Not Cancel Us, adrienne maree brown describes how “cancel culture” is bad for people, organizations and ultimately for the nation. It's also one of the easiest tools to grab in the toolbox we've inherited - and there's a reason for that. adrienne maree brown joins us from Detroit to discuss her intimate and meaningful manifesto.Radical responsibilities in movements is to keep opening the door to realize that this is not the only way. The way we're living right now, someone else imagined it. It's unjust, and its not sustainable and we have to imagine other ways. Portions of this interview were featured in theLFShow episode "Armed With Art”.  A link to watch that episode along with episode notes are posted at Patreon.com/theLFShow

Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss adrienne maree brown's book We Will Not Cancel Us, which examines what cancel culture means and how it does and does not align with transformative justice, as well as provides a shared vision for a future beyond our current so-called justice system.

This year will be hard to forget, not only have we witnessed a pandemic unfold in front of our eyes, but also social movements that arise in the middle of chaos. The Black Lives Matter movement is especially highlighted, as unfortunate events triggered the rage of the already exhausted black community, who got the support of recently “woke” non-black allies. Awareness is just the first step of the anti-racism journey. On today's episode, Kamala is joined by an inspiring leader, speaker and black woman, Jovian Zayne, to chat about the role of awareness around racism in the American society. Listen to the perspectives of these two women in this new episode, as they discuss what they are expecting from true allies to fight alongside the black community for the creation of a more just reality. Jump straight into: (0:46) - The perfect year for a pandemic and the sudden (yet awfully late) national realization of racial injustice - “White people finally looked up and realized all at once: Damn... This country is racist!” (10:32) - Awareness opens your eyes, now, open your mind to different narratives - “There is a persistent issue of police violence, specifically against communities of color and even more specifically against black people.” (22:03) - Accept uncomfortable truths to start important conversations - “There are ways to deepen your awareness that don't require fully unloading every question that you have about race on the next black person that you see.” (25:15) - How Black Lives Matter has empowered and raised the voices of an entire community - “The idea that it makes some people so incensed to hear those three words together is because it actually does call out all of American history.” (37:30) - The problem with forced diversity and black representation - “We need the conversation that happens after the change and the commitment that comes after it. That's a pretty important step in the process, but not the whole process.” (42:36 ) - Dealing with non-believers of a very evident problem - “It's such a beautiful time to try to be an anti-racist. Is popular, it is on trend, is accessible and available.” Resources https://www.jovianzayne.com/onpurpose-movement (OnPurpose Movement) https://www.amazon.com/How-Be-Antiracist-Ibram-Kendi/dp/0525509283/ref=sr_1_1?crid=353FK10AB52K1&dchild=1&keywords=how+to+be+an+antiracist&qid=1605746346&sprefix=how+to+be+an+%2Caps%2C220&sr=8-1 (How to Be an Antiracist) by Ibram Kendi https://www.instagram.com/sharethemicnow (Share the Mic Now) https://www.amazon.com/The-Power-of-Vulnerability-audiobook/dp/B00D1Z9RFU/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=bren%C3%A9+brown&qid=1605746534&sr=8-8 (The Power of Vulnerability )by Brené Brown https://brenebrown.com/podcast/brene-with-austin-channing-brown-on-im-still-here-black-dignity-in-a-world-made-for-whiteness/ (Brené with Austin Channing Brown on I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CClvjO7HzXY/ (Reese Whiterspoon's conversation with Austin Channing Brown) https://www.amazon.com/We-Will-Not-Cancel-Transformative-ebook/dp/B08GG8WD96/ref=sr_1_1?crid=R7G6ODH5031C&dchild=1&keywords=we+will+not+cancel+us&qid=1605747001&s=digital-text&sprefix=we+will+not+can%2Cdigital-text%2C202&sr=1-1 (We Will Not Cancel Us) by Adrienne Maree Brown Thanks for tuning in!
