This week on FemMag with host Lynn Harris Ballen :: FIRST … The Women’s Refugee Commission has worked for over 30 years to protect and improve the lives of refugee women, children, and youth around the world. We talk to Executive Director Sarah Costa about how they work horizontally with local community groups. And hear about their upcoming benefit concert – The Lantern Tour: Concerts for Migrant and Refugee Families
THEN … In this week of yet another attack on the safe sanctuary of an LGBTQ bar in Colorado Springs – we hear the feature, “Meet Me at The Club” from YR Media.
AND … As we think about sharing food – Thanksgiving or Thankstaking – a feature about how for centuries, the Taos Pueblo people in New Mexico lived entirely off their land. Sustainable agriculture was a way of life, but U.S. federal policies helped put an end to that. Food wasn’t grown at the pueblos; it was trucked in. Traditional farming gave way to government subsidies and obesity rates soared. But recently, a surprising agricultural renaissance has taken root across the pueblos. On this edition, Making Contact’s Rita Daniels takes us to the Taos Pueblo in New Mexico to share a story of rebirth and renewal.
