Lloyd Alter: Innovation in the COVID-19 Era
June 23, 2020, 5:08 p.m.
Human beings are nothing if not innovative. We have invented entire disciplines concerned with design, sustainability, and urban planning. Now, however, a global pandemic is forcing experts in these disciplines to rethink, adapt, and re-innovate. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak to design expert and environmental journalist Lloyd Alter about innovation and adaptation in the COVID-19 era. We talk about the hurdles we are collectively facing when it comes to things like sky scrapers, air conditioning, and commuting - things that people, including experts, not too long ago took for granted.

Reclaiming Native American History: The Yuki of Thule Valley
June 23, 2020, 3:16 p.m.
The events of 2020, the toppling of statues and discoveries of hidden history reminded me of events in early 2000 - soon after I moved my radio production and micro power transmitter to Mendocino County.
The State Historic Marker at the entrance to the Round Valley Indian Reservation in Northern CA read: âThis valley was discovered by Frank M. Asbill arriving from Eden Valley, on May 15, 1854. During the same year, Charles Kelsey from Clear Lake also visited it, and George E White sighted it from Blue Noseâ There is another account of the history of that day that is undisputed fact but forgotten. On May 15, 1854, the Yuki, inhabitants of the valley for over 12000 years, discovered six white men on their land. Led by Pierce Asbill the men opened fire and killed 40 of them.
The Asbills returned a year later and captured 35 Yuki women and sold them as slaves to gold miners.
In the Spring of 2000 an effort was begun to rewrite the language on the Marker and officially re-cast the bronze plaque.
TUC Radio joined the groups in the Fall of 2000, just in time for the first public meeting at the American Legion Hall in Round Valley. Descendants of the original Yuki people had come as well as Wylaki whose great grandparent had been force marched to the valley by the cavalry.
This is a moving collection of authentic voices - much spoken from the heart. All have the ambience of their circumstances, the echo of the Legion Hall, a speaker hiding from the microphone, hesitating to be heard. Kitchen noises from the North Fork Cafe. Ranchers leaning against the back wall remarking that the Indians had crossed the line.
But on March 21, 2002, California Registered Historical Landmark No. 674 was replaced with this:
âThe first inhabitants of Round Valley were the Yuki who resided here for thousands of years in harmony with their natural surroundings. In 1854, European settlers entered the valley. In 1856, conflicts between settlers and Yuki escalated and to protect local tribes the entire watershed was designated a reservation. Additional tribes were subsequently forced on the property: Nomlacki, Wylaki, Lassik, Sinkyone, Pomo (including Cahto, Kabeyo, Shodakai, Yokayo, Shokawa, Shanel, Kashaya, and Habenapo among others), Wappo, Concow Maidu, Colusa, and Achumawi. In 1864, the government reduced the reservation by four-fifths, to its current size.â
And even this improvement leaves more opportunities for the future.

The Israelization of US Police
June 21, 2020, 6:52 p.m.
Policing in America is under intense scrutiny in the wake of continuing demonstrations and non-violent displays of rage over the shooting of unarmed Black people. The restructuring of policing and our understanding of safety and security are at the heart of that scrutiny. The militarized, discriminatory practice of policing which is geared to control society has not and will not provide security and safety for everyone in that society.
How did we get to this warped concept of security and safety, and whom does it serve? We know whom it does not serve and we must find a way forward to create a just, safe, secure society for everyone.
How did we get where we are and who is fueling this militarized, discriminatory policing of America? Jeff Halper has meticulously researched the issue, and in particular the role Israel is playing in arming the security state. His book, War Against the People, is a must read and serves as the basis for an article he recently wrote on the intersection of policing in America and Israel. We lead this morning with the reading of Halperâs recent article we found in Mondoweiss.
After this, our feature presentation which today is a conversation between British journalist Steven Sacker and Hamas spokesman Ghazi Hamad, who speaks from Gaza. The conversation was recorded in March and takes place on Sackerâs podcast called Hardtalk. Sacker continually reveals his all-too-common ignorance about Hamas, Palestine, the Great March, etc.

Tiffany T. Crutcher, a native of Tulsa, Okla., is the twin sister of Terence Crutcher, who was shot by a police officer in 2016. The death of her brother compelled Tiffany to speak out against police brutality, particularly the killing of unarmed black men, and she is the founder of the Terence Crutcher Foundation. The foundations primary focus is criminal justice and policing reform, providing scholarships to African-Americans (male & female) bettering their lives through education, and promoting non-violence initiatives throughout communities of color.
Says Dr. Crutcher, I believe in this fight for freedom and the fact that people are locking arms and coming together to make it happen. I do believe that this is the turning point. And unfortunately, so many had to die. Breonna Taylor. Ahmaud Arbery. George Floyd, Rayshard Brooks. But those names are changing the world

David Harvey at The Future is Public conference in Amsterdam
June 19, 2020, 2:55 p.m.
David Harvey spoke at the "The Future Is Public" International Conference 4-5 December 2019 in Amsterdam which was organized by the Transnational Institute (TNI
Discription from the TNI web site for the program.
"We are living in a crucial moment. Cities are on the front lines of todayâs most urgent challenges, including fighting climate change and rising inequality, as well as the need to support refugees and provide universal access to public services that are human rights including housing, drinking water and sanitation services, energy, health care and education. These global problems call for public solutions.
A growing network of progressive, green municipalities is developing strategies to tackle these and many other critical issues. Cities are well positioned to explore direct democracy, and advance innovative economic models that build community wealth and create decent jobs. At the same time, we need a national level of coordination and ambition to reverse market fundamentalism, which is the root cause of our collective economic and social crises. Profit-driven, market-based policies led to the privatisation of our public services and to the denigration of solidarity and public service."
