THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen :: FIRST … It’s EARTH DAY this week!
And, it’s been over 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 … From Making Contact Radio – On the Brink: Homelessness before and during COVID-19. When the coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S. many of us were told to “shelter in place” in order to minimize the spread of disease. But, for a lot of people who are forced to live on the street, it’s not possible to just close the door and retreat into safety. Salima Hamirani hosts this segment about homelessness with reporter Lucy Kang, following two women in Oakland as they undergo several evictions. Then, it takes a look at how homeless communities are dealing with COVID-19. And finally, discusses market forces in the housing crisis and how to fight for “the right to housing” – with voices from a group of women called Reclaiming Our Homes, who took over empty homes in Los Angeles. And they’re modeled on a similar direct action that started in Oakland called Moms for Housing.
All this on KPFK on Tuesday at 2.
THIS is What Feminism Can Sound Like.
This week’s program was produced by Lynn Harris Ballen, with segments courtesy of Making Contact Radio.
