Burnout is a chronic condition in nonprofits. Right now, it's at an acute level after the years of trauma we've been experiencing. And burnout has a compounding impact on people who are dealing with marginalization. Yet burnout is often something we suffer in isolation, in silence, and in an individual fashion – as if it's not an organizational or collective concern. In this episode, you'll gain a first-hand perspective on burnout from Dany Sigwalt, the outgoing nonprofit executive director of Power Shift Network, and you'll get tangible ideas for how to address the burnout crisis in our sector. Dany discusses her experience and ideas, and provides some fundamental suggestions for change. Dany wrote a refreshing article published in YES Magazine called, “How to Prevent Burnout Among Black Movement Leaders.” It's a vulnerable, first-person narrative of burnout, as well as an analysis of the current burnout crisis in terms of its organizational, racial, and philanthropic dimensions. This episode (S3:E7) explores Talent-Investing Principle #4: Advance Talent Justice. Racism, sexism, classism, and other inequities are baked into the deficit of investment in the nonprofit workforce. Thus, the solution must advance intersectional racial equity. To learn about the Eight Guiding Principles of Talent-Investing, listen to Episode One of this season. And we invite you to learn from all the amazing past guests of Fund the People - A Podcast with Rusty Stahl.

In these challenging times, it is vitally important that we take the needs of all life into consideration. In the words of Marshall Rosenberg, "It is hard to separate meeting human needs from the needs of the environment: They are one and the same. Meeting the needs of all the phenomena on the planet. Seeing the oneness of it all. Seeing the beauty in that whole scheme, that whole interdependent scheme of life. Life-enriching structures — the kind of structures that I would like to see us creating and participating in — are structures whose vision is to serve life."

Agostino Petroni is a journalist, author, economist, gastronome, and 2021 Pulitzer Center Reporting Fellow. His work appears in National Geographic, BBC, The Atlantic and many more. I first came across it in Reasons to be Cheerful, the terrific news outlet founded by one of my all-time favourite musicians and producers, David Byrne. That outlet is part of a growing movement sometimes called ‘solutions journalism'. Though you might just call it good journalism. And Agostino's article that first caught my eye is a great example of that – outlining a terrific success story so relevant to some of the pioneering efforts – and vital needs - we've heard about in this podcast. One of the most fascinating and popular stories on the podcast was featured in the 100th episode under the title Wanted Land Doctors. I've had many interesting exchanges in the wake of that episode, including with a listener in the eastern states who shared stories of goats being used by public agencies to reduce fire fuel loads after the horrific Black Summer fires here in Australia. It turns out that the Mediterranean region has created some great models in this mould, that are successfully getting people back on Country, with communities and their livelihoods reinvigorated, and trajectories of mega-fire, extinction and polarised politics reversed. In the first half of this episode, we talk about Agostino's unexpected personal journey into the work he does, his formative film-making journey to Latin America, and this phenomenon of so-called ‘solutions journalism'. In the back half, we delve into some of the incredible stories he's found, principally that piece from Reasons to be Cheerful, and the patterns we've observed. This conversation was recorded online with Agostino at home in Puglia, Italy, on 3 May 2022.

Chuck Collins’ first job out of college was to work with mobile homeowners in New England to help them organize and buy their parks as resident-owned cooperatives, to escape the cycle of ever-rising rents. While working in Western Massachusetts with a group of 30 mobile homeowners struggling to raise the necessary resources, Chuck was holding on to a “dirty little secret”: as the great-grandson of the Chicago meatpacker Oscar Mayer (an iconic brand in the US renowned for its catchy advertising jingles and Weinermobile), Chuck, still pimply faced at the time, was a multi-millionaire who single-handedly could write a check to make it possible for the 30 families to buy the park – with only a negligible impact on his personal finances. Chuck was seriously (and silently) considering doing just that, when the group gifted him something much more valuable: they taught him the power of solidarity and community. At that moment, they heroically dug deeper and supported one another (oftentimes anonymously) to come up with the necessary down payment in a way that preserved the dignity of each. At age 26, this powerful experience defined Chuck’s path. Realizing that “there was no rationale that could justify this disparity” whereby his inherited wealth was increasing through no sweat of his own, but wages were going down for so many, he decided to give away his wealth. “I wrote my parents a letter thanking them for the tremendous opportunities this wealth made possible. And I explained that while having the money was a boost in helping pay for my education, it was now a barrier to my making my own way in the world. I intended to ‘pass the wealth on.’” Chuck signed the paperwork to transfer all the funds in his name to four grant-making foundations, maintaining no financial cushion or “rainy day” fund for himself. That this decision was not a whimsical flight of idealistic fancy has been born out over the decades: Chuck has been working diligently and strategically against economic inequality for his entire adult life. Decades after he gave away his wealth, Chuck wrote, “I have no regrets. If anything, I feel liberated. My decision enabled me to live my life more aligned to my values. It opened up a source of energy.” Chuck is a storyteller, writer, researcher, and campaigner working to reverse the extreme inequalities of wealth and power – and heal the social and ecological harms resulting from societal inequities. Since 2006, he has been Director of the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies where he co-edits Inequality.org. His most recent book, The Wealth Hoarders: How Billionaires Pay Millions to Hide Trillions (Polity Books) examines the global hidden wealth system and the role of enablers and gatekeepers, such as tax attorneys, wealth managers, and family offices. In a YES Magazine article about wealth advisors that “help the rich let go,” Collins urged families to redirect “their wealth to heal the harms created by the initial extraction of that wealth.” Collins worked to brief foreign reporters about US wealth hiding systems in advance of the recent publication of the Pandora Papers. He has worked since 1999 on various efforts to organize wealthy people to advocate for progressive tax policies and preserve the federal estate tax, the only tax on inherited wealth. He was co-author, with Bill Gates Sr., of Wealth and Our Commonwealth: Why America Should Tax Accumulated Wealth (Beacon Press). His perspectives about wealth and inheritance are discussed in his popular book, Born on Third Base (Chelsea Green). He has been featured in many interviews, including an NPR Fresh Air interview with Terry Gross and in Sun Magazine. Chuck is co-founder of Wealth for the Common Good, a network of business leaders, high-income households and partners working together to promote shared prosperity and fair taxation. This network merged in 2015 with the Patriotic Millionaires, a national network of high net worth individuals advocating for higher taxes on the wealthy, a living wage, and campaign finance reform. Between 1983 and 1992, Collins worked for the Institute for Community Economics, helping grassroots housing cooperatives and community land trusts built and preserve affordable housing. Thereafter, from 1993 to 2006, he worked on issues of tax fairness and inequality, co-founding United for a Fair Economy. Currently living near Brattleboro, Vermont, Collins is co-author of several reports including “The Road To Zero Wealth: How the Racial Wealth Divide is Hollowing Out America’s Middle Class,” “Billionaire Bonanza: The Forbes 400 and the Rest of Us” and “Gilded Giving: Top Heavy Philanthropy in an Age of Extreme Inequality.” Other books include: Is Inequality in America Irreversible? (published by the Oxford, UK-based Polity Press); and 99 to 1: How Wealth Inequality is Wrecking the World and What We Can Do About It. He is co-author with Mary Wright of The Moral Measure of the Economy, a book about Christian ethics and economic life. Please join us in conversation with this principled advocate for justice and equality who has uniquely walked – and is walking – his talk!

A citizen of the Quechan (Yuma Indian) Nation, Deborah Taffa's writing can be found at dozens of outlets including PBS, Salon, The Huff Post, Los Angeles Review of Books, Brevity, A Public Space, The Boston Review, and the Best American Nonrequired Reading. Her memoir manuscript won the Santa Fe Writers Project Literary Award in December, 2019. She teaches creative writing at Webster and Washington University in Saint Louis, MO, and lives on the island of O'ahu. Today's episode is broken up into two acts where Deborah Taffa shares with us two of her personal essays: “Moon of the Disappearing Water” originally published in The Spectacle, and “Rock Maze” originally published in YES Magazine. In Act 1, Deborah Taffa centers us in relocation, removal, and disorientation. We've all experienced the ache of nostalgia, homesickness, and separation in our lifetime. “Moon of the Disappearing Water” tells the story of a Native woman who leaves her ancestral land, permanently, in her late twenties. She lands in St. Louis, Missouri, where a disappearing lake and the confusion of a binational marriage force her to examine the relationship between motherhood and community for the first time.  In Act 2, death comes. How we deal with it has everything to do with the values we learn in our childhood. “Rock Maze” tells the story of a mother's cancer, and a daughter's familial connections to the land. As she leaves her mother's hospital bed for Sedona and Havasupai, the daughter reflects on healing and prayer, her tribal myths, and the injustice of tourism in her homeland.   The Nasiona Podcast amplifies the voices and experiences of the marginalized, undervalued, overlooked, silenced, and forgotten, as well as gives you a glimpse into Othered worlds.

Ned Rosch of National Jewish Voice for Peace has written a chapter for a new book, Reclaiming Judaism from Zionism: Stories of Personal Transformation and Mustafa Akhwand is founder and Executive Director for Shia Rights Watch. Portland resident, Ned Rosch has written a chapter for the book, Reclaiming Judaism from Zionism: Stories of Personal Transformation that was released in May 2019. A part of his chapter, “Palestine and My Journey of Self-Discovery” was published in Yes Magazine. The book’s promotion reads:  “Today Jews face a choice. We can be loyal to the ethical imperatives at the heart of Judaism — love the stranger, pursue justice, and repair the world. Or we can give our unconditional support to the state of Israel. It is a choice between Judaism as a religion and the nationalist ideology of Zionism, which is usurping that religion.”  Ned Rosch will be sharing his story at Southminster Presbyterian Church in Beaverton, Sunday, August 4th at 9 am. In the second half of the show, host John Shuck speaks with Mustafa Akhwand, the founder and Executive Director of Shia Rights Watch (SRW), which focuses on the humanitarian rights of Shia Muslims. With a network of over 600 people, Shia Rights Watch plays a critical role in improving the quality of life for all minority populations around the world. Various human rights and peace-keeping organizations have recognized Mr. Akhwand’s human rights advocacy including Freemuslim (Center for De-Radicalization & Extremism Prevention), Amnesty International, Human Rights Education Association, United States Institute of Peace, Adam Center for Defending Rights and Beliefs, and Center for Strategic Studies in Iraq.  Here is a link to the Camp Speicher Massacre referenced by Mustafa Akhwand during the broadcast.

In 1920, black farmers in this country owned some 15.6 million acres of land, but by 1999 that number had fallen to 2 million.  In 1910, there were nearly one million black farmers in America. In the year 1999, only 18,000 remained, and statistics showed that black farmers were disappearing at a rate five to six times that of white farmers. Leah Penniman, farmer and educator at Soul Fire Farm in the Albany, New York, area, attributes the virtual disappearance of Black farmers to decades of discrimination against Black farmers by the US government – denying them farm loans, for example – and racist violence targeting land-owing Black farmers in the South. But after 100 years in decline, Penniman writes for YES Magazine, Black farmers are making a comeback. She joins us this week to say that these farmers aren’t just growing healthy food, but just as importantly they are healing racial traumas, instilling collective values, and changing the way communities of black folks think about the land. Later in the show we talk with writer Gloria Oladipo about her essay in Teen Vogue describing why her therapist specifically needed to be a woman of color. And in hot topics, we talk about drivers behaving badly. Click here to support the work that we do on Strange Fruit!: [donate.strangefruitpod.org](http://donate.strangefruitpod.org)

from BCB... http://bestofbcb.org/wu-230-green-buildings-lecture-feb-12/ Join Jill Bamburg, President and Co-Founder of Pinchot University (formerly Bainbridge Graduate Institute) and BCB host Christina Hulet as they discuss this month's Building a Sustainable Economy lecture: Green Building - Success Through Financing, Entrepreneurship and Community Engagement. The buildings in which we live, work and play protect us from nature's extremes, yet they also affect our health and environment in countless ways. Patterns of development, transportation infrastructure, building location and design have direct and indirect influences on human health, solid waste, water and air quality. As an alternative, green buildings are gaining momentum as environmentally responsible and resource efficient structures, finding the balance between homebuilding and the sustainable environment. However, successful green building implementation and management depends on the cooperation of engineers, architects, designers, contractors, entrepreneurs, clients, community, and financing agents. Join us for a conversation with three leading experts in the sector and learn about local and national initiatives, technologies, and market trends: Molly McCabe of HaydenTanner, Kimberly Lewis of the U.S. Green Building Council, and Tadashi Shiga of Evergreen Certified. The event is on Friday, February 12, 5:30 - 7 PM at Bainbridge Public Library. The BASE Lecture Series is developed in partnership with several local organizations, including the Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce, Sustainable Bainbridge, Yes Magazine, Kitsap Regional Library and the Bainbridge Public Library.

From BCB... http://bestofbcb.org/who-023-yes-magazines-fran-korten/ Yes! Magazine was founded on Bainbridge Island and has had its headquarters here for nearly 20 years. The magazine's charter is to reframe the biggest problems of our time in terms of their solutions, outlining a path forward with in-depth analysis, tools for citizen engagement, and stories about real people working for a better world. In this podcast, Fran Korten, publisher of Yes!, talks with host Jack Armstrong about the role the magazine plays in encouraging and supporting societal change,  and about the unique relationship it has with the Bainbridge Island community. Fran begins by describing her professional career -- which took her to countries around the world and included 20 years with the Ford Foundation -- and then explains how those experiences were a perfect lead-in to her position with Yes!. She speaks passionately about the magazine's role in offering constructive alternatives for citizen action to help combat the “climate of despair” that has been created by the media. The print version of Yes! is published quarterly, but new stories are posted daily on its website at www.yesmagazine.org, and a weekly Friday afternoon e-mail highlights the week's most positive developments. Bainbridge residents can find out more about the magazine at one of the regular orientation sessions at its Bainbridge offices.

It's one of the exasperating things about our not-so United States. When white people in the North protest inequality outside city hall, it may take a while but eventually they'll get noticed. Remember Occupy? When black people in the South, by contrast, organize for years, elect one of their own and actually take over City Hall with a concrete plan, they can be in office for months without most Americans having heard of them. Which makes it makes it particularly sad that Mayor Chokwe Lumumba of Jackson Mississippi passed away last week, before most people had any chance to hear what he was up to. Mayor Lumumba wasn't your run-of-the-mill mayor. He came up through the furnace of the 1960s as a defense attorney, a community organizer and a founder of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement. In our race-trained world, we'd call his ideology Black Power, and maybe that's why so few even in our progressive/left media have paid attention, but what do those words even mean? After years of civil rights laws, we've done away with legal apartheid, but we still live in a bitterly divided society. Lumumba's goal was colored black and rooted deep in the blood-soaked Mississippi soil, but it was a vision of power: building some, and then using it, not to fit in, but to transform a flawed society. And wouldn't that have made it of interest to a whole lot of Americans? What made this moment ripe for change was the readiness of the people, Mayor Lumumba told me in one of his last interviews. His slogan was an old one: The People Must Decide. After a term on the City Council, Lumumba's people organized their hearts out to elect him mayor and he took office last July not just talking about reducing poverty and inequality, but with an innovative plan to do just that through public works carried out by local firms, and government support for new, low-barrier-to entry worker-owned businesses and cooperatives. What Lumumba called solidarity economics isn't a black thing or a white thing. It's a smart thing. Owned and managed by the workers, co-ops permit poor members to pool resources and share risk; they tend to provide higher wages and better benefits and create stability in their communities. Around the country, lots of people wish their city officials would integrate worker owned co-ops into their plans and policies. But Jackson, under Lumumba, was actually doing it. There's a conference this May, called Jackson Rising. By then the city will have a new Mayor. Will Lumumba's vision survive him? He'd be the first to say the People Must Decide. But I bet they'd appreciate some financial support. There's something in Jackson's experiment that's good for everyone. Black or white; it's a power thing. To read a transcript of my interview with Lumumba, recorded February 12, go to GRITtv.org or Yes Magazine. I'm Laura Flanders, for GRITtv.

Hi I'm Laura Flanders of GRITtv. President Obama got one thing right in his State of the Union address. "It is [we] the citizens who make the state of our union strong." Just look at his speech. After years of saying the word poverty less than any president in memory (and talking about the middle class more), here was Obama talking about low wage-stifled workers, and inequality. That's thanks to public activism. "Inequality has deepened"; "No one who works full time should ever have to raise a family in poverty". The president's best applause lines came from protest signs. Now “citizens” (and would-be citizens) will have to come up with solutions too, because his won't take us very far. Take that minimum wage hike for federal workers. Ten dollars and ten cents an hour is nice, but $20,000 a year is hardly a ticket out of poverty, even if you can find a full time job in the public sector. Yes! Magazine held a live Twitter-fest during the President's speech. Lots of people wrote in, with solid suggestions for how to make much bigger changes. To stop the shrinking of the public sector for example, union members said bring jobs back home. The feds reportedly spend $1.5 billion a year buying clothes overseas. Instead of subcontracting to sweatshops why not buy American? The President talked about stimulating manufacturing by attracting businesses to high-tech ”hubs”. But if government's going to give tax breaks and cash to private firms why not demand an ownership share for the taxpayers? If the public's going to carry the risk, we should also see the profit. President Obama's support for natural gas came in for criticism. Gas isn't "a bridge fuel" they said, or if it is it's another bridge to nowhere. We'd be far better off investing now in wind and solar which will pay off handsomely. And create green energy companies that are owned by the public and dilute the power of the enormous oil and gas corporations. The Tweet that sticks with me most came from George Goehl at National People's Action. He wrote: "There are three paths we can take 1) Fight to preserve the little we have left 2) Work to revive the old economy or 3) Reimagine what's possible." As President Obama said “We all owe it to the American people to say what we're for, not just what we're against.” There's also a responsibility to listen. Many Americans are saying loudly what they're for. And they're making it happen. At GRITtv and Yes Magazine, we're calling it #Commonomics, and I'm reporting on a slew of efforts to build people centered economies, that serves people and the planet. As George says, it is possible to make a more fair world out of our old broken economy, but not if we only tinker. And not if we wait for the President. As Obama said, the union's strength lies in its people. You can find my coverage of #Commonomics on www.GRITtv.org or in the pages of Yes Magazine.

From a group of people encamping in New York city September 17th, to affiliated actions or camps in 900 cities in the US and the world, through the removal of most of the physical camps -- where do we stand now, where do we go from here? I will ask for a brief update of status reports from around the country and then I want to explore the impact so far, its meaning, its prospects, its challenges and possibilities. How does OWS/99% interact with other movements and other political entities, including the 2012 elections and the Democratic party? How much of our hopes can we fulfill through this movement? How wide can it be? How far can it go? And what will it demand of us? SARAH VAN GELDER is co-founder and Executive Editor of YES! Magazine and YesMagazine.org. She was a television and radio producer, a community organizer, founder of a cooperative of food co-ops, and a founding board member and resident of Winslow Cohousing. She is editor with the staff of YES Magazine of THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING: Occupy Wall Street and the 99% Movement. TODD GITLIN, a professor of journalism and sociology and chair of the Ph.

DAVID DeGRAW is an investigative journalist, founder and editor of AmpedStatus.com, as well as OWSnews.org, formerly editorial director of MediaChannel.org, and author of The Economic Elite Vs. The People of the United States. In DeGraw's expanded "reports" he piles on (amply footnoted) data with a relentless fury that makes a reader want to cry uncle. Then he connects the dots, building a narrative that makes clear "uncle" is not an option. DeGraw's challenge: Will we the people come together to take on our common enemies - the economic elites who have stolen our money, our media, and our democracy - before they steal our future?" http://www.occupylosangeles.org/ https://www.facebook.com/occupyLA http://owsnews.org/ http://www.ampedstatus.com/ http://www.yesmagazine.org/ http://www.toddgitlin.net/
