Driving Change in What We Drive

For better or for worse, cars are not leaving the American landscape anytime soon. The automobile is woven into the cultural fabric of our country like nothing else. But we also know that the status quo is not sustainable. This week on Sea Change Radio, we discuss efforts by the Sierra Club to advocate for electric vehicles with Gina Coplon-Newfield and then, for a little context, we dip into the Sea Change Radio archives to hear some of host Alex Wise's discussion with David Johnson, whose company, Achates Power, is developing a more efficient combustion engine.

Their mission will be to interdict the shipment of weapons to Hamas in Gaza. It appears that the ceasefire is an interlude in the war rather than a step towards a lasting peace.

Dispelling myths about mental illness

What is the difference between our bodies getting sick and our brains getting sick? It seems obvious that these should be seen as similar processes. Why does stigma still exist against mental illness, but patients are not discriminated against for having medical conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure? Current research on brain physiology is shedding light on the biological causes of mental illness. One thing we know for sure is that although illness is not the patient’s fault, or due to any weakness in character, stigma often prevents them from seeking and receiving care. However, perceptions about mental illness are slowly changing as it is receiving more attention in the media. Today, we speak with Dr. Joseph Ferencz, the head of psychiatry at St. Joseph’s Healthcare in Hamilton, about the nature of mental illness and how to dispel some of these myths and stigmas.

This Week in Palestine: Bedouins in the Negev with Professor Oren Yifchatel, Host John Roberts

The November 17th edition explores the plight of the Negev Palestinian Bedouins with commentary by Prof. Oren Yifchatel, who teaches political geography, urban planning and public policy at Ben Gurion University in Beersheba.In a series of books and articles, Yiftachel conceptualizes the Israeli regime as an ethnocracy, promoting a dominant project of ethnicization throughout Israel/Palestine. He documents the various practices of this project, and the manner in which it has constructed ethno-class identities and stratified citizenship through the process of expansion, development and politicization in the different regions of Israel/Palestine. A major focus of his work has been the Zionist-Palestinian dialectic, and the evolution of Zionist 'colonialism,' Palestinian resistance and counter mobilization. His work has also focused on other marginalized ethno-classes such as the Mizrahim (Eastern Jews), âRussianâ Israelis, Orthodox Jews, the Druze and the Bedouins. Regarding the Bedouin communities, the Israeli government classifies approximately 40 villages in the Negev, including al-Araqib, as unrecognized, arguing that the 53,000 Palestinian Bedouins living there cannot prove land ownership. The Bedouin communities say the land is their ancestral home. After the 1948 war, Israel ordered Palestinian Bedouins in the Negev from their villages, and declared them state land. The village of Al-Araqib has been demolished fourty-three times by Israeli forces, and Palestinian Bedouins in the Negev face a continual struggle to preserve their land, culture, and way of life.

OUR Walmart Black Friday Protesters

OUR Walmart Black Friday Protesters Declare It Red Letter Day For Workers! With . Elaine Rosier, Walmart worker, Miami Florida . Gabe Teneyuque, Walmart striker, St. Paul, Minnesota . Secaucus, New Jersey Walmart worker allies Walmart faced not only a throng of shoppers on Black Friday but what a union-backed group, Organization for Respect at Walmart, ("Our Walmart") said was the biggest wave of protests that the retailer had ever seen; 1,000 stores had demonstrations in 46 states, ranging from a few community supporters asking to talk with store managers about raising wages to raucous demonstrations in California, New Jersey and Washington that each attracted hundreds of people. "In its 50-year history, Wal-Mart has never seen strikes like those we're seeing today," said Lynsey Kryzwick, a spokeswoman for OUR Walmart, which works closely with the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. "It will be hard for Wal-Mart to ignore all these workers and their allies calling for change at Wal-Mart from improving the low wages and unfair working conditions to fighting retaliation. Our Walmart, has filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, saying that Wal-Mart had violated federal laws against intimidating workers who seek to strike or otherwise protest by saying there could be consequences in the form of dismissals, demotions or reduction in work hours.
