Today we talk with members of the organizing collective of the Coalition for Action in Higher Education, or CAHE, about their second National Day of Action, taking place on Thursday, April 17. The Day of Action is a call for free higher education in every meaning of that term. CAHE calls for “the elimination of all existing student debt, making all public colleges and universities tuition-free, and ensuring that our colleges and universities remain sites of robust free thinking about the world we live in and the world we want.”We talk about the genesis of this group, and the gap it seeks to fill at the intersection of all of these interests, with Palestine squarely at the center. CAHE is thus a critical hub for activism that addresses each of the major points of attack on education coming from the Trump administration. Karim Mattar is an Associate Professor of English at the University of Colorado at Boulder.  A descendant of survivors of the Palestinian Nakba of 1948, he works at the intersection of Palestine studies, the humanities, and higher education.  He is currently at work on two book projects.  The Ethics of Affiliation seeks to develop a curriculum and a public pedagogy of truth and reconciliation in historic Palestine, focusing on the areas of education, culture, public institutions, civil society, and law.  Reflections on Palestine: Exile, Privilege, Responsibility interweaves personal experience, family history, cultural critique, and political analysis to tell a multigenerational, transcontinental story of responsibility to the oppressed.  Also a dedicated community organizer, Karim works at the local, state, and national levels to enhance public awareness and understanding of Palestinian literature, history, and politics and to advocate for Palestinian liberation.  Karim received his D.Phil. in English at the University of Oxford in 2013, and writes and teaches more broadly on comparative Middle Eastern literatures and cultures, the history of the novel, media and technology, and critical theory.Bill V. Mullen is Professor Emeritus of American Studies at Purdue.  He is the author of several books including most recently We Charge Genocide! American Fascism and the Rule of Law (Fordham University Press) and (with Jeanelle Hope) The Black Antifascist Tradition Fighting Back from Anti-Lynching to Abolition (Haymarket Books).  He is a member of Purdue AAUP and the organizing collective for the Coalition for Action in Higher Education.  He is also a member of Writers Against the War on Gaza.Jennifer Ruth is a professor of film studies at Portland State University. Her most recent work is a volume co-edited with Ellen Schrecker and Valerie Johnson called The Right to Learn: Resisting the Right-Wing Attack on Academic Freedom (Beacon Press, 2024).

Episode Summary: In this episode of "90 Miles from Needles, the Desert Protection Podcast," host Chris Clarke delivers an impassioned reflection on the results of the recent election. He traces the roots of today's situation to the Reagan administration and beyond, while discussing the challenges the progressive movement faces in countering conservative policies. Highlighting the importance of grassroots activism, Chris emphasizes the need for a unified vision and community involvement to effect meaningful change. Throughout the episode, Chris underscores the significance of a concerted effort to engage people at the local level to tackle environmental threats and social injustices head-on. As the episode unfolds, Chris challenges the environmental movement to broaden its scope, emphasizing the vital need for cooperation with local communities—a strategy successfully utilized by the environmental justice movement. Chris calls for imaginative conceptualizations of a sustainable future while recognizing the obstacles posed by the entrenched political system. He promotes active public engagement and community-based responses as essential components for achieving the envisioned societal change. Key Takeaways: The importance of grassroots organization and maintaining active engagement in political processes beyond merely voting. Understanding the conservative movement's sustained effort over decades to shape policy and society, contrasting with periodic liberal responses. Articulating a compelling vision for a better world that transcends mere opposition to conservative agendas. The necessity for the environmental movement to connect deeply with local communities and involve them actively in preservation efforts. The role of community in countering national challenges, advocating for local responses to systemic issues.  Notable Quotes: "Given that we outnumber them, why are we in this predicament?" "We've been forced to use tools like the ESA and NEPA. We would have been stupid not to use them." "We've got to be about more than just opposing our opponents. We have to have a vision of how we want the world to be." "It's going to involve actually talking to your neighbors in real time, either face to face or on the phone."

Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/farmsWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Fans!https://www.realorganicproject.org/1000-real-fans/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

Taking a break from historically-minded reading, she listened to Ruha Benjamin's award-winning book, VIRAL JUSTICE: How We Grow the World We Want. Emily dove into history and read THE PROFESSOR AND THE MADMAN: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary by Simon Winchester. Then she switched things up with a middle-grade graphic novel, SEA CHANGE by Frank Viva. She read two books that look at grief through very different windows: Sloan Crosley's memoir about the death of her best friend, GRIEF IS FOR PEOPLE, and a new inspirational rom-com by Emma Grey, THE LAST LOVE NOTE. As always, we also discuss what we're currently reading, what we look forward to reading, and Biblio Adventures. We hope you enjoy this episode, and we wish you lots of Happy Reading!

According to Ruha Benjamin, we're living inside someone else's imagination. An imagination that  limits our ability to build a more just, liberated world. So, how do we take back our agency and begin to seed something different? Baratunde talks with Princeton professor and founding director of the Just Data Lab, Ruha Benjamin to find out.   SHOW ACTIONS Internally Reflect - Bear witness and create a ripple This one is inspired from Ruha's book Viral Justice: How We Grow the World We Want which says: “…bear witness to the weight of individual and communal protective acts and consider how all of us can be involved in sheltering one another from the rain and sun by cultivating relationships, skills, accountability, and healing.” Think about when you witnessed someone near you perform an act of justice or kindness or protection for another. Was it a big or small act? Did it require courage? How did witnessing that make you feel about the world? Is it something you could repeat and further the impact?

So join us today as we paint a picture of what we could have here in Massachusetts if we fixed our state politics. In dozens of other countries, people go to the doctor without worrying about the cost. Roads are well-paved and pothole free.  Water that comes out of the tap does not have lead in it. Kids get a great education no matter what school they go to. People graduate from college without massive debt.  Friends and family live near each other, because no one is priced out of their city. And people who work have plenty of time for friends and family. Jordan Berg Powers, Jonathan Cohn, and Anna Callahan chat about Massachusetts politics. This is the audio version of the Incorruptible Mass podcast, season 5 episode 1. You can watch the video version on our YouTube channel. You're listening to Incorruptible Mass.

There are two guests on this special January 2023 fundraising episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. ***Your generosity and support help to sustain the podcast and to keep it free, not behind a paywall and available to all listeners.*** Ruha Benjamin is a sociologist and a Professor in the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University. She is the author of several books including Race After Technology and Viral Justice: How We Grow the World We Want. She explains how technology is not socially or politically neutral and actually does the work of power and maintaining inequality along the color line through what she has termed “the new Jim Code”. Benjamin also highlights the ways that technologies such as search engines, algorithms, “big data”, the surveillance society and other digital tools have disproportionately negative impacts on black and brown and other marginalized communities. She also encourages us to take back our agency by finding ways to use these new technologies to do the work of creating a more humane and just society. Christoph Bartneck is an associate professor in the department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University of Canterbury where his research focuses on human-computer interaction, science and technology Studies, and visual design. He explains how racism and other forms of animus influence how human beings treat “black” and “brown” robots much worse than “white” robots. Bartneck also reflects on the human-machine interface and how algorithms and other technologies inevitably reflect the biases of their designers, engineers, and programmers. He also shares his thoughts on artificial intelligence,  “the Singularity”, and the exaggerated and fantastical claims that are made by many futurists and technologists.   On this episode of the podcast, Chauncey DeVega honors two people who recently passed away and who meant, albeit in very different ways, a great deal to him. Professional wrestling star and ROH World Tag Team Champion “Jay Briscoe” (Jamin Dale Pugh) was killed in a car accident on Tuesday Jan 17 in Laurel, Delaware.   Chauncey's cat nephew Stoli passed away last week on Monday Jan 23. Episode 378 of The Chauncey DeVega Show is dedicated to both of their memories. Chauncey reflects on grieving, emotional ups and down, and how he is being weathered and assaulted by dark and other unjust forces during these last two weeks – and how he will overcome them and get his bounce back. As part of that effort Chauncey shares an animal friend story about a turkey person who is being unfairly maligned and harassed by the humans in her neighborhood. WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

I am so thrilled and honored to be in conversation with Ruha Benjamin, a Professor of African American studies at Princeton University, founding director of the Ida B. Wells JUST Data Lab and author of three books, Viral Justice (2022), Race After Technology (2019), and People's Science (2013), and editor of Captivating Technology (2019). Today, we discuss her incredible latest book, Viral Justice: How We Grow the World We Want. I am completely obsessed with this book. I feel it is an urgent read for all of us who want to integrate the structural and the individual, the academic and the poetic, the political and the personal, knowing that each of these things are necessarily interlinked and interdependent: just like us. Ruha writes, teaches, and speaks widely about the relationship between innovation and inequity, knowledge and power, race and citizenship, health and justice. Long before the pandemic, she was doing groundbreaking research on race, technology, and justice, focusing on big, structural changes. But the twin plagues of COVID-19 and anti-Black police violence inspired her to rethink the importance of small, individual actions.  “Remember to imagine and craft the worlds you cannot live without, just as you dismantle the ones you cannot live within." — Ruha BenjaminI hope you enjoy our conversation!Highlights:(01:20) Get to Know Ruha Benjamin(02:51 ) What is viral justice?(04:45) The three types of plotting(09:44) Ruha's journey shaping this work(22:40) How can we be vulnerable but not exposed?(27:38) The power of poetry(36:16) Mutual aid and other life forms (41:20) The Doula Effect and how we can bring it to our daily livesRuha's Links:Website:https://www.ruhabenjamin.com/ Instagram:Ruha Benjamin (@ruha9)Twitter:Ruha Benjamin (@ruha9)LinkTree to all her work: https://linktr.ee/ruhabenjamin Links Mentioned:Viral Justice: How We Grow the World We Want by Ruha Benjamin Toni Cade BambaraMia Mingus blog & Twitter @miamingusErik Olin WrightMy links: Substack: ayandastood.substack.com | Subscribe to my newsletter!!!

Can the choices you make on a daily basis transform society? Sociologist and Princeton professor Dr. Ruha Benjamin thinks so, and has the research to support the idea. Dr. Benjamin's groundbreaking research on race, technology, and justice spanned years and focused primarily on larger, structural changes. But the scourges of COVID-19 and anti-Black police violence inspired Dr. Benjamin to rethink the importance of small, individual actions. Her new book Viral Justice offers a sweeping, deeply personal exploration of how we can shape our world through the choices we make on a daily basis. Part memoir, part manifesto, Dr. Benjamin vividly recounts her personal experiences and those of her family, showing how decisions that might otherwise go unnoticed can have great impact — even on an exponential scale. Through stories about her father's premature death, her brother's experience with the criminal justice system, and her own challenges as a young mother navigating an inequitable healthcare system, Dr. Benjamin shines a light on both the devastating impacts of chronic racism and the passions and strengths of communities driven to demand justice. Born of a stubborn hopefulness, Viral Justice offers a powerful and practical vision of how small changes can add up to large ones, transforming people's relationships and communities while inspiring them to build a more just and joyful world. Ruha Benjamin is an internationally recognized writer, speaker, and professor of African American Studies at Princeton University, where she is the founding director of the Ida B. Wells Just Data Lab. She is the award-winning author of Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code and editor of Captivating Technology, among many other publications. Her work has been featured widely in the media, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, The Root, and The Guardian. Vivian Phillips, Founder and President of the non-profit organization ARTE NOIR, is a communications professional and arts leader. Vivian's professional history includes service as the Director of Communications for a Seattle Mayor, Director of Marketing and Communications for Seattle Theatre Group, Seattle University Adjunct Professor (MFA Arts Leadership), television, radio, and live performance producing, public speaking, and numerous arts and strategic communications projects. She served as the Chair for both the Seattle Arts Commission and 4Culture, and co-founded The Hansberry Project and the Historic Central Area Arts and Cultural District. Jazmyn Scott, ARTE NOIR Executive Director, comes to Arte Noir as a long-time advisor and community organizer. For the past six years, she led programming and community partnerships for LANGSTON Seattle, where she was the organization's first employee. Her leadership at LANGSTON catalyzed the development of new programs that engaged a wide range of local and national performing artists. Jazmyn is also the co-curator of 50 NEXT: Seattle Hip-Hop Worldwide interactive experience, which includes music from Seattle and Northwest Hip-Hop artists displayed at the Museum of History and Industry. Jazmyn's community connections are extensive, and she currently serves as board vice president for Earshot Jazz and The Residency and sits on several community arts advisory boards.

Many of us invoke the common phrase “Is nothing sacred?!” when we feel that something of value to us isn't experienced the same way by others. What if we told you that everything could be sacred, to the extent that we make it so?All of us hold certain things sacred in our lives, whether it be a memento, an icon, a place, a ritual, maybe some kind of religious artifact or even a cuddly toy from our childhood. But how often do we give thought to what it is that makes these things sacred for us?This episode is a reminder from Thom that we can get more depth, more richness out of life, firstly by appreciating how we make things sacred, and secondly by choosing to make more things sacred in our life. Thom invites us to go beyond the symbolic nature of that which we hold sacred and to actually have a conscious relationship with it. He also shares how nothing is off the table when it comes to holding something sacred, leaving us open to the possibility of living a life where nothing is taken for granted and everything is available for appreciation. Episode Highlights: [00:45] What Makes Things Sacred?[02:47] Prana Pratishtha — Becoming the Sentient[04:40] Everyone has Experienced Love[06:23] Bringing Sentience Together in an Alliance[07:49] The Process of Navajo Weaving...[09:13] Prana Pratistha in Action[10:47] The World Reflects Back to Us[13:00] The Man Who Enjoyed Himself in Prison[15:06] The World is for Us as We Can Be for it[17:04] Shoes-Off Rooms[18:39] A Special Room[19:41] Nobody's Watching[21:13] Prana Pratishtha Creates a State of Consciousness[22:37] The Unified Field Starts to Undulate[24:43] Everything is Natural[25:42] The Capacity to Awaken Consciousness[27:26] Many Layers of Sophistication[28:29] Two Dreamers Don't Dream the Same Dream[29:57] Infinite Potential[31:18] Turiya—The Fourth Consciousness State[33:07] Cosmic Consciousness—The Fifth State[35:09] God Consciousness and Unity Consciousness[36:48] Consciousness Manifests Itself in One's Surroundings[38:11] Same World, Different Experience[39:55] What Effect Are We Having on the World?[41:18] Inviting the World Into Our Consciousness State[42:36] Nothing is Inanimate.[44:45] The Gold and the Diamond Qualities[45:54] Disgusting[46:58] Make the World We Want to Make[48:31] Culturing Our EnvironmentUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoles/https://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoles https://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

As big as our problems seem the solutions are closer than we think. We don't have to start from scratch to transform our world. All it takes is an attitude of inventiveness - to look at our current world and everything we have available to us, and then to reshape our current systems for the better. There are examples of people who have done this all around us including the guests on our show. People who are ending hunger in local communities, who are putting a stop to plastic pollution and transforming fashion into an industry which supports workers, wildlife, and the planet. What kinds of problems do you see that you want to help solve? What can you do today to imagine better and then take action to help build a better world?

Using “The Vimalakirti Sutra” as a guide Robert Thurman gives an introduction to the historical Buddha's insight into the blissful nature of reality and to the practical tools of positive transformation found through out his teachings. "In this passionate, incisive, and often hilarious joyride of the mind and spirit, Thurman explores: mindful communities as "enlightenment factories" and how they have sparked “inner” revolutions throughout history; the Buddha's philosophy of life, liberty, and the pursuit of real happiness; how compassion and nonduality spur social action; the vision of sacred texts for the future of humanity; and much more." Podcast includes a short history of the Three Vehicles of Buddhism and to the Four Noble Truths. Recorded during the San Francisco Zen Center's Buddhism at Millennium's Edge year long series, Millennial Consciousness: Bliss & Buddhaverses – Ep. 271 of the Bob Thurman Podcast is excerpted “Making the World We Want” by Robert A.F. Thurman, Available via www.audible.com.
