I’m on a road trip/ “listening tour” traveling via bus & train through the South of the US. I’m talking to people about their ideas to end racism and build a more liberated society. I’m especially interested in folks who are doing this work with BOTH a practical lens (e.g. policies, programs, redistribution of resources) AND a spiritual lens (e.g. rebalancing energy, ancestral wisdom, somatic abolitionism). It’s ok if you don’t know what those terms mean, this podcast is for people with all levels of experience with these topics. I was asked by friends/family to share the journey, come along!

This episode has a special conversation partner, one of my personal heroes…my mom! Like many moms she is very humble / doesn’t get half the credit she deserves, but I try to highlight a few things she’s taught me by her example: -She started a program in her town to support young, low-income moms. She was once a young, low-income mom, but had a very large support system of family / friends who helped out her/my dad. She realized not everyone had access to that type of support system so started this program many years ago once she had some extra time/resources. It has has now morphed into an early literacy program that’s run via playgroups at a (relatively) new children’s museum in town -She is an advocate for improving the public schools in our town, including ones her kids never went to -She is a master at respectfully disagreeing with people she knows in conversation in such a way that they actually *listen* to the point she’s making -She is into the Both / And of helping out in micro/more immediate ways in her community AND supporting macro/longer-term changes to structures to combat systemic racism We also talk about: -my time visiting Memphis and Nashville -our mutual love of museums and dance -how the important conversations to have as a family (now of all adults) are often the ones that feel a bit scary to have -how we all have a role to play in the struggle against racism/white supremacy and toward liberation and are continually learning *my audio cuts out for a second or two in a few different spots, guess my wifi connection wasn’t great for the recording, sorry! **this was recorded on 1/14/22 A couple resources on topics mentioned (including the current fight for voting rights and against mass incarceration): -Explained, whose vote counts (2020 episode) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yn36tY7rNUM&pp=QAFIAQ%3D%3D -Shelby County v Holder (2013 Supreme Court decision) https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/07/how-shelby-county-broke-america/564707/ -13th (2016 documentary) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K6IXQbXPO3I -COINTELPRO (This page includes a link to a guide for teachers on how to use the actual COINTELPRO documents to teach students about this subject, which is left out of most US history textbooks): https://www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/cointelpro-exposed/ -Mapping our roles in Social Change Ecosystems (2020) https://buildingmovement.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Final-Mapping-Ecosystem-Guide-CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0-Handles.pdf

4. Money - Part 3
In this episode I share stories from my time in Little Rock and Tulsa. We discuss the following questions: -How are we defining “race” and “racism” on this show? What is the both/and of these words? -How does the manifestation of racism evolve for each new generation? e.g. from centuries of chattel slavery, to the Jim Crow era (Tulsa race massacre), to the backlash to the Civil Rights movement (Little Rock 9), to the Urban Renewal/War on Drugs/Mass Incarceration, to the current backlash to the Black Lives Matter movement. https://library.law.howard.edu/civilrightshistory/blackrights -Knowing that progress only happens with intentional work focused on results/impact (i.e. it doesn’t just happen on its own), how do we each find our role in the current struggle for racial equity? -How is racism linked to classism? At a systems level? At an individual level? -Why do certain very wealthy, white political leaders get nervous about multi-racial, multi-class coalitions and try to create division? e.g. Dr. King’s Poor People’s Campaign, which continues today: https://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org/about/ -While it’s clear to see how classism harms the people with the least power/resources (i.e. the poor and working class), how does classism (and all systems of oppression) harm the people with the most power/resources (i.e. the very wealthy)? -If people of all different classes (including middle class and upper-middle class) saw that the system of classism harms people at every level (in different ways), how might that grow movements like the Poor People’s Campaign / Black Lives Matter and accelerate our transition to greater racial equity/a more liberated system? -How might we move beyond the Either/Or debate of Capitalism v. Socialism? How might we build a financial system that takes the best aspects of each (ie. innovation, everyone being cared for, etc)? Resources: I was unaware until this episode that there are still debates about the “biology of race” in the 21st century (but since white supremacy is always evolving, it’s not surprising that the science of genetics is being twisted to fit this agenda). While I find these debates highly troubling (and I thought about cutting this section of the episode), I realize I may find myself talking to someone who believes that human races are the same type of grouping as animal sub-species. These articles provide details about recent genetic research that once again debunk this untrue and harmful idea. https://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2017/science-genetics-reshaping-race-debate-21st-century/ https://evolution-outreach.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12052-019-0109-y#ref-CR35 This episode was recorded on 12/10 when I first got to Memphis, hours before tornadoes/storms tore through TN, KY, IL, AR, MO, MS Donate to grassroots orgs that serve Kentuckians who may otherwise be neglected by other relief efforts, particularly Black, Indigenous, People of Color, Refugee, Immigrant, and poor and working class Kentuckians https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/kentucky-tornado-relief-surj?source=direct_link& Also, check out Kate’s new venture for women to share their wisdom, Welle, https://wellehello.com

3. Money - Part 2
In this episode we discuss the importance of time with chosen family/ alone time for a more liberated holiday season. We dig into (and once again often disagree) on the following questions: Why do far more tourists flock to the National Memorial in OK City than the Greenwood memorial in Tulsa (2 domestic terrorist attacks rooted in white supremacy)? Is racial repair / reconciliation work useful/powerful if it happens generations after the original harm occurred? For original harms that happened long ago, can we stretch beyond the binary of “victim” and “perpetrator”, and each find a role for ourselves in repair work? Is there a case for reparations (financial aspect) / reconciliation process to be done on a local level (rather than a large, federal program)? For countries with stronger social programs than the US (those with smaller land size, population and historically less racial diversity like Denmark and Italy) what are the effects on the economy? How do these white-majority countries react when their population becomes more racially diverse?
