FM Sept 10: Grrrls on Film / Collective REMAKE / Women for Climate Justice

THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen ::  FIRST  … Revenge of Grrrls on Film is a one-night event,all about the intersections and divergences of punk, gender, race, feminism, film, and music. It’s coming up on Sept. 14 at Loyola Marymount University, and will feature cult films and a panel focused on topics in the new book “Revenge of the She-Punks.”  We’re joined by LMU professor Evelyn McDonnell and author Vivien Goldman.
THEN … It’s been almost a year since the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco in 2018. People took to the streets to let the governor and attendees at the summit know they didn’t want inadequate or false climate solutions.  And Women, including frontline and Indigenous women activists, also made their views known in a powerful way at the ‘Women’s Assembly For Climate Justice’, which was held in parallel to the summit.
Host Sandina Robbins brings us voices of Indigenous women from that assembly. Featuring: Osprey Orielle Lake, Executive Director of WECAN (Women’s Earth and Climate Action Network), Kathy Jentinel Kitchener, Poet and Daughter of the President of the Marshall Islands, Kandi Mossett White, Arikara and Mandan Leader from North Dakota and Activist with the Indigenous Environmental Network and Wanda Culp, Tlingit Nation Eco-Activist.
AND … Collective REMAKE is a unique social enterprise in Los Angeles County — designed to support the creation of worker-owned businesses and other kinds of cooperatives, with people who have been incarcerated and other individuals who are marginalized. We hear from Mary Sutton about this weekend’s event – their first meeting for the start-up phase for a Democratically Run Art Cooperative : CreateARTCooperative.

All this on KPFK on Tuesday at 2.
THIS is What Feminism Can Sound Like.
