POPULARITY
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spoke to a massive crowd when their “fight oligarchy” tour stopped in Civic Center Park on Friday. Sanders claims it was the “largest rally” he's ever had, but just how many folks were there? Host Bree Davies and Producer Paul Karolyi were at the park and dug into all the conflicting claims. Then we open up the City Cast Denver mailbag for some burning hot takes, including a spicy one from a Denver representative who is co-sponsoring the tipped minimum wage bill and a passionate defense of Illegal Pete's CEO Pete Turner. Rep. Alex Valdez was responding to comments that Councilperson Sarah Parady made on our show last week. Don't miss our interview with Pete Turner if you haven't heard it yet! The band Paul struggled to pronounce is named Xiuhtezcatl. Here's the New York Times article he mentioned about the controversy around the name “Illegal Pete's.” Did you go to the rally?

Could California secede from the United States? That's the goal of activists behind the movement known as CAL EXIT. The Last Resort is a new 8 part series about their story. And it takes us to some wild places: from a far-right political revolution in upstate California to an international criminal conspiracy in Russia. Narrated by Xiuhtezcatl. Coming October 18th.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
“If we want to address the climate crisis, we have to heal our relationship with the land. And part of that looks like returning lands to indigenous people.”Within the movement to solve the climate crisis, there is a generational divide. Established leaders are doggedly working within the system. But younger activists want FASTER progress — and deeper changes.After all, young people will have to face the greatest effects of climate change. They feel the URGENCY — and thus often have some of the boldest, most innovative solutions.For example: Van's guest this week, Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, believes that we need to return land back to indigenous stewardship. Xiuhtezcatl is 22 years-old, and he has been an environmentalist and climate activist since he was a child. Xiuhtezcatl shares how his indigenous roots have shaped his activism. A rising star (a term he hates), he is popularizing ideas that may help redefine how we think of the climate crisis.Get ready to go deep! This isn't a surface debate about the Left versus Right. It's a passionate discussion about the land itself — and what a new generation believes it will take for humanity to survive.New episodes of Uncommon Ground with Van Jones release weekly, every Wednesday.What assumptions are you challenging? What do you wish officials knew about your own community? Call 347-770-2785 and leave Van a voicemail. Your comment or question will be recorded, and may be played and answered on a future episode of Uncommon Ground!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Indigenous cultures have been suppressed since Europeans first arrived in Mexico. But increasingly, modern Mexicans want some sort of connection with their indigenous past. At its height, the ancient Mexican city of Teotihuacan had 100,000 citizens and was the largest city in the Western Hemisphere. But the civilisation had no written language, and the sudden disappearance of its population is largely unexplained. Luckily, the civilisation left behind the remains of instruments. Adje Both and Osvaldo Perez are an academic and a potter that are part of a global network of musicians, instrument makers and archaeologists that are piecing these instruments back together and recreating them. In doing so, they can breathe life back into these lost instruments and rediscover the sounds of these ancient cultures. But for the indigenous cultures of Mexico, who are still oppressed, dispossessed and marginalised, these instruments take on a more significant meaning. Xiuhtezcatl is based in LA, but his father is Mexica - an indigenous group that used to rule the Aztec empire - and the instruments are a visceral link to his ancestors. Using the work of Adje and Osvaldo and matching it with digital manipulation, Xiuhtezcatl goes back in time and tries to discover what history sounds like.

Xiuhtezcatl was an aspiring hip hop artist when he met photographer Josué Rivas. The two have been collaborating ever since, documenting the struggles of Indigenous communities through powerful lyrics and provocative images. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Xiuhtezcatl (pronounced shoe-tez-caht) is a world-renowned environmental activist and rapper/lyricist out of Boulder, CO. Named to TIMES Next 100 list in 2019, Xiuhtezcatl has pushed the impact of the fossil-fuel industry on indigenous communities up the political agenda, and has spoken multiple times at the UN, addressing the General Assembly and spoken on panels with the likes of Bernie Sanders, Miley Cyrus, Van Jones, Shailene Woodley, Bill Mckibbens and Pharrell Williams. The independent artist’s Indigenous roots to Mexico are anchored across the collection of songs on his latest project 'Runway Tapes' that illustrate his journey sonically and serve as a prequel to his forthcoming debut album that’s on the horizon. The project is a representation of the intentional expansion of his artistic identity, reintroducing himself as much more than a conscious artist. Each song off the EP has its own unique flavor, flitting between both English and Spanish, singing and rapping, modern production and instrumentation.--Connect with Lennon:Website: https://www.lennoncihak.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/lennoncihakMailing List: http://eepurl.com/dlYpxTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lennoncihak/Twitter: https://twitter.com/LennonCihakLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lennoncihak/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5eX_uxAUIwBC0gyKwCbqtwGuest Request: https://goo.gl/forms/8zs61IYiIXMLjFpX2Connect with Xiuhtezcatl:Website: https://xiuhtezcatl.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/xiuhtezcatlmusic/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/xiuhtezcatl/Twitter: https://twitter.com/xiuhtezcatlSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/56bZk5ODMBjqUQm1z44gBE?si=JK42SGrpRaCp7ARHbgT4gA

The School Strike 4 Climate is an international movement run by school students. Today we have Maeve and Indy, who are part of the Canberra contingent, to have a yarn about what is going on, and why. Inspired by the bold, lone strike action of Greta Thunberg on the steps of parliament in Sweden, the idea has spread to all continents. Find the strike map here: https://www.fridaysforfuture.org/events/map Many groups are going out every Friday, with periodic global events, such as the one on March 15th, 2019 discussed here. Australia is still bent on developing massive fossil fuel sources, which should definitely be left in the ground, such as the Adani mine opening up the way for many coal projects planned for the Galilee Basin https://www.stopadani.com/ and the new front rapidly opening in the Canning Basin in the Kimberly, Western Australia. https://www.environskimberley.org.au/fracking http://www.frackfreekimberley.org.au/ Hopefully our intrepid leaders will take this strong hint from our kids, and prioritse our actual means for life over our imaginary need for incessant growth of money. Music for today is from the Earth Guardians, a group of kids who have been on this path for over a decade now, and Xiuhtezcatl, who is also heavily involved with Earth Guardians. Please support them by buying their albums, and check out these links: https://xiuhtezcatl.com/ https://www.earthguardians.org/ and the absolute classic "Live as if our Future Matters" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANrxvmHUuV0 This interview (not the music) is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International License.

What’s stopping you from becoming an eco-leader? If you’re thinking that you need experience as an eco-leader or even as a leader, at all, think again! Learn from Xiuhtezcatl Martinez’ first public speech at age six. Time-stamped notes: [1:00] “Experience required”... a common criteria for jobs [1:20] It would be natural to think that you’d need to have eco-leader or any leadership experience [1:30] Guess what? That’s not true. [1:35] “If you want to make an impact, you don’t already need to be a leader. But you do need to be willing to become a leader.” - Joan Gregerson [2:00] Passion, commitment, willingness to learn, grow, work together [2:20] “Xiuhtezcatl - first public speech at 6 yrs old” YouTube Video “I came to talk to you today about how sacred the earth is. Most kids don’t even know that the world is sacred.” “Every choice we make is for or against our future.” [4:10] Xiuhtezcatl is now 18 years old: a global eco-leader, spoke at the UN three times, rapper and hip-hop artist, best-selling author of “We Rise” and youth leader of Earth Guardians. [4:40] First met when talking about them performing at the Youth of the Earth Festival. [5:50] Amazing support from Aztec traditions from his father and environmental educator mom [6:40] What can we learn from Xiuhtezcatl at age 6? You don’t need to already be a leader to make an impact. You do need to believe strongly that your ideas and your voice matter. You have to overcome any self-doubt that would keep you from expressing your opinion You have to ask people to do better. You have to believe in and be willing to work for a better future. We all have to work together. Though you may start small, your impact may grow more than you could imagine at the beginning [7:20] So, do you need previous experience to become an eco-leader? No, but you need to be willing to become one. Shareable quotes: Every choice we make is for or against our future. - Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, at age 6 If you want to make an impact, you don’t already need to be a leader. But you do need to be willing to become a leader. - Joan Gregerson Resources: Six-year-old Xiuhtezcatl speaking in Boulder (YouTube) Our Children’s Trust Xiuhtezcatl Martinez Earth Guardians Free Carbon Footprint Calculator (Nature Conservancy) Thank you for listening!

[11:01] Kaméa: “What would your biggest piece of guidance be for someone who feels crushed by all of the things going wrong in the world?” [12:37] Xiuhtezcatl: “It’s not about stopping climate change; it’s about ensuring that future generations have a healthy, just, habitable world.” [13:32] Kaméa: “What’s been the most important thing you’ve learned from being surrounded by thought leaders in the space?” [18:42] Xiuhtezcatl on how art and music can support sustainability.
