Viva the Student Intifada!
<p>Today, we are going to hear from a very special mentor, friend and teacher in my life, Simon Sedillo. We are gathered here to discuss the uprising of student encampments, which are only increasing every day and across the world, in support of Palestinian liberation. Because of our context, we will be focusing on the student encampments in the U.S, or as many are calling the “student intifada” movement. </p> <p>Given Simon's experiences as a community organizer and researcher on the effects of the neoliberal military political economy on indigenous communities in the US and Mexico, we are here to draw parallels between military occupation in Turtle Island and the occupation of Palestine, and how U.S imperialism relates to both struggles for liberation. Simon is author of the recently published book, <a href="https://www.weaponsdrugsandmoney.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><em>Weapons, Drugs & Money: Crime, Corruption and Community Based liberation in the U.S/Mexico Neoliberal Military Political Economy</em>.</a></p> <p>Artwork ft in episode cover art from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nochedivina/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@nochedivina</a></p> <p><strong>Resources: </strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://idainthemiddle.com/teaching-resources/toolkit-to-defend-k-12-educators-librarians-against-false-accusations-of-antisemitism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Toolkit to Defend K-12 Educators and Librarians Against False Accusations of Antisemitism</a></li> <li><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ol9GjNwTo99mPzXnRgL0ZLvs-fw0vc6MEPBJhuJHtbo/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">All the Walls Will Fall: 2023 Palestine Liberation Resource List</a></li> <li><a href="https://actionnetwork.org/user_files/user_files/000/098/772/original/All_Out_Palestine_Toolkit_3.0.pdf">All Out for Palestine</a><strong> </strong><a href="https://actionnetwork.org/user_files/user_files/000/098/772/original/All_Out_Palestine_Toolkit_3.0.pdf">Toolkit 3.0</a></li> <li><a href="https://decolonizepalestine.com/">Home | Decolonize Palestine</a></li> <li><a href="https://remix.aljazeera.com/aje/PalestineRemix/intifada.html">intifada (Palestinian uprising) - Palestine Remix</a></li> <li><a href="https://youtu.be/kQiaEiNl6tU?si=hcKXmBjKMvGkg6E5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Huelga (Strike) UNAM 1999 - 2000</a></li> <li><a href="https://atmos.earth/how-student-protest-encampments-can-help-build-new-futures/?utm_campaign=later-linkinbio-atmos&utm_content=later-43146961&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkin.bio" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Why Student Protests for Gaza Are Microcosms for a Better World</a></li> </ul>

Beyond Representation: Recap of 2022
<p>Hello all, its been a while since our last episode! A lot has been happening since Raíces Verdes last episode was release Dec, 2021. During the first half of the episode I recap different collaborations and work over the past 10 months that have helped expand Raíces Verdes storytelling from podcasting to other mediums. Towards the second half of the episode I dive more into the topics of representation, and how Raíces Verdes' focus is shifting away from meeting a "diversity quota" in the environmental & sustainability field, and instead working towards storytelling and community building that is rooted in self-determination, healing and reconnecting to our green roots. Lastly, I talk about how my understanding of my own identity as a reconnecting Indigenous women, or P'urhepecha women has shaped the new direction Raíces Verdes is heading towards and what this means for the kind of content we want to develop in 2023. </p> <p>To connect with Raíces Verdes visit <a href="https://raicesverdesmedia.com/" target="_blank">https://raicesverdesmedia.com/ </a>or follow on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nuestrasraicesverdes/" target="_blank">@nuestrasraicesverdes</a></p> <p>If you want to donate to Raíces Verdes and support our growth visit: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/raicesverdes" target="_blank">ko-fi.com/raicesverdes</a></p> <p><strong>Mentions in the episode:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/ihPKvhXOUM4" target="_blank">Alimentando al Pueblo: Community Stories video</a></p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/or6hEZajmjY" target="_blank">Healing and Storytelling in Times of COVID-19 </a></p> <p><a href="https://www.sagezine.com/shop-page1/p/issue-07">Sage Magazine Issue 07</a> ft Samara Almonte</p> <p><a href="https://www.bravespaceproject.org/">Brave Space Project: Expedition Reclamation</a></p> <p><a href="https://shado-mag.com/author/samara-almonte/" target="_blank">SHADO Magazine </a>editorial pieces</p> <p><a href="https://www.eddiebauer.com/stories/glamping-at-refuge-outdoor-festival-in-a-cabana-van/" target="_blank">Refuge Outdoor Festival</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.eddiebauer.com/stories/samara-almonte-invokes-her-heritage-to-connect-to-wild-places/" target="_blank">Eddie Bauer ft : Live Your Adventure</a></p> <p><a href="https://weaponsdrugsandmoney.org/" target="_blank">Weapons, Drugs & Money by Simon Sedillo</a></p>

Indigenous Knowledge: All About Mezcal
<p>Wanted to end 2021 with a fun and perhaps unusual topic. Today we are talking about mezcal! You can probably tell right away based on how much I talk in this episode compare to others, but I LOVE mezcal. And you might not believe it but there are lot of conversations to be had about environmental justice and decolonization when it comes to this ancestral beverage. So in this episode I interview Elisa Ruiz-Gutierrez, co-owner of Mezcal Vxhee and a 5th generation mezcalera from Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca (the capital of mezcal). We discuss what is mezcal, and what are some of the inequities her Zapoteco family and community face as they continue to produce this artisanal drink. To support this Indigenous, women-owned business and learn more about Elisa visit:</p> <p>https://www.mezcalvxhee.com/</p> <p>https://www.facebook.com/mezcalvxhee/</p> <p>https://www.instagram.com/mezcalvx</p>
