Monday, October 28, 2019: Climate Justice Activist Mishka Banuri; Gaum Senator Sabina Flores Perez Fights Colonialism

Today we talk focus on climate justice.  We talk  to 18 year old Climate Justice activist Mishka Banuri from Utah who helped craft and pass the Utah Climate Resolution, the first of its kind in a traditionally conservative state.

Mishka is the co-founder of the Utah Youth Environmental Solutions, a youth-led group that engages with their community on environmental issues. She has also been an organizer for the Utah People’s Climate March in 2016. The focus of her work is to empower youth to hold statewide organizations and institutions accountable to climate change and build the youth climate movement in Utah. As a Pakistani Muslim American, Mishka seeks to build bridges and empower Muslim youth and students of color in Utah.

 And Fuifuilupe Niumeitolu talks to Guam Senator Sabina Flores Perez who is creating policies that promote sustainability, indigenous rights, and peace. As an indigenous CHamoru of Guåhan, Perez is informed by her cultures over 3500 years of close connection with nature, which was disrupted by colonialism. She struggles against  the U.S. military and works on issues of  the contamination and privatization of their drinking water and lands, deforestation of native forest that is home to their endangered species, and cultural historic sites and ancestral burials and ultimately the cultural connection and their identity as a people.

Monday, June 4, 2018: Chrystos: Poet in Action

This week on Women's Magazine:

courtesy Poetry Foundation

Chrystos is a Native American of the Menominee nation, born in 1946 and raised in San Francisco. A political activist and speaker as well as an artist and writer, she is self educated. Her tireless momentum is directed at better understanding how issues of colonialism, genocide, class and gender affect the lives of women and Native people.

Her books include Fugitive Colors, Not Vanishing, Dream On, Fire Power and In Her I Am.

In 1995, Queer in Your Ear (Emily Charles & Mary Salome) interviewed Chrystos about her activism and poetry, and recorded her reading at two venues in San Francisco, Luna Sea and Old Wives' Tales. The monthly program Queer in Your Ear was cancelled before the program could air. Chrystos' words continue to inspire us, and we are very happy to bring excerpts from the readings and interview to you for the first time now, decades later.
