The Criminalization of Poverty in America

March 1, 2019, 9:32 a.m.
The Criminalization of Poverty in America with Professor Peter Edelman, policy maker, and law professor at Georgetown University Law Center, specializing in the fields of poverty, welfare, juvenile justice, and constitutional law and author of Not a Crime to Be Poor In Brooklyns Boerum Hill, lines were moving slowly in the packed, drab gray building. Jazmine Headley just wanted to get a voucher for city-funded day care so she could find someone to look after her 1-year-old son, while she went to work as a cleaner. Instead, Headley, 23, ended up behind bars, because sick and tired of being sick and tired the young mother sat on the floor because there were no more seats available in the crowded room. Next, Headley was lying on the floor, surrounded by New York police officers and security guards, holding her 1-year-old son firmly in her arms as the officers forcibly tried to yank the child away. Theyre hurting my son, she screams again and again. One officer pulls out a stun gun. Headley was charged with resisting arrest, acting in a manner injurious to a child, obstructing governmental administration and criminal trespass. Letitia James, now the New York State Attorney General commented, No mother should have to experience such trauma and humiliation. Being poor is not a crime. But, actually it is! In Ferguson Missouri, in addition to exposing racially biased policing, the Justice Departments Ferguson Report exposed to the world a system of fines and fees levied for minor crimes, that, when they proved too expensive for Fergusons largely poor, African American population, resulted in jail sentences for thousands of people. Ferguson is everywhere in America today. Through money bail systems, fees and fines, strictly enforced laws and regulations against behavior including trespassing and public urination that largely affect the homeless, and the substitution of prisons and jails for the mental hospitals that have traditionally served the impoverished, in one of the richest countries on earth we have effectively made it a crime to be poor. We're Building Bridges to Prof. Peter Edelman, who famously resigned from the administration of Bill Clinton over welfare "reform," who discusses his new book Not a Crime to Be Poor. Edelman connects the dots between these policies and others including school discipline in poor communities, child support policies affecting the poor, public housing ordinances, addiction treatment, and the specter of public benefits fraud to paint a picture of a mean-spirited, retributive system that seals whole communities into inescapable cycles of poverty and then criminalizes the residents of those communities. ****************************

Phantasms of Freedom, Part 5

Feb. 27, 2019, 9:55 a.m.
How well do we know the history of our nation? As for our Founders, what is fact? What is myth? While we have been told we are free, we face an increasing onslaught of laws, edicts, and proclamations governing our lives as American citizens. We have been told that “we need to get our Constitution back.” Do we truly need to do that? We are, during every election cycle, given a “choice.” But is it a real choice? Or a Hobson’s choice? Were our Founders the godlike, towering figures we were taught? Were they above reproach? Or were they human beings, subject to the same avarice, temptations and lust we all are? What were their motivations in starting this country? Were they benign in nature, inspired to offer their fellow countrymen “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?” Or were there other instincts at play? Was the Constitution truly designed to be the bulwark of freedom? Why were the Articles of Confederation jettisoned? Who were the Anti-Federalists? Why did they get such short shrift by history? What was the worth of the Founders? Were they Everymen? Or rich elites? The answers, when explored from an “unofficial” vantage point, may surprise you. Listen along as Eric the Blacksmith discusses American history with Al Aric and Theo. Explore the nooks and crannies of suppressed information as the book “Hologram of Liberty” by Kenneth Royce is reviewed and its bibliography examined.

Your Life is Their Toy - Final

Feb. 27, 2019, 6:46 a.m.
Health and life are man's most precious possessions; and anxiety to preserve them is natural. It is not surprising, therefore, that they have been exploited since time immemorial. Every age has had its charlatans, quacks and medicine men. Much in the same measure as social organization has attained its highest pitch in the present era, the exploitation of health and life today has reached its zenith. Never before in history has there arisen such an extensive conspiracy about the problem of public health of entire nations, involving well-organized, opposing political and commercial groups. The consequence of this welter of exploitation is the sacrifice of human comfort, happiness, health and life. --Emanuel Josephson, 1941, "Your Life is Their Toy."

Kevin Anderson: Talk to the Oxford Climate Society, ONE of TWO

Feb. 26, 2019, 7:01 p.m.
On Jan 25, 2019, Professor Kevin Anderson, the chair of energy and climate change at the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering (MACE) at the University of Manchester spoke at the Oxford Climate Society. He is one of the rare academics with a background in mechanical engineering even worked on oil platforms as a young man. I addition to producing peer reviewed research he engages with European governments on issues ranging from shale gas, aviation and shipping. He also brings a strong sense of justice and equity into his recommendations on how to prevent climate chaos. He said that it's twenty-eight years since the IPCC’s first report on climate change and over a quarter of a century since the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. Now, in 2019, and with the benefit of hindsight, we can trace our voyage of abject failure – and with humility learn lessons for charting an alternative low-carbon course. Kevin Anderson also said we need to explore how academia has abdicated its responsibility to hold government to account, choosing instead to be complicit in maintaining a facade of mitigation

Home Is Where The Heart Is: Tiny Houses and Homelessness

Feb. 26, 2019, 4:52 p.m.
Shelter is on the first rung of renowned psychologist Abraham Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs. And yet, as a society, we have not cracked the code for how to house people in a way that is equitable and sustainable. While millions consume cubic acres of carbon heating and cooling their McMansions, others combat housing insecurity on a daily basis. This week on Sea Change Radio, we discuss two different facets of the housing puzzle. First we take a look at the tiny homes movement with two builders, Fatih and Deniz Saat. They describe what the target customer base is for their Lilliputian locales, their design inspiration, and how these itty bitty domiciles could potentially transform communities of the future. Next, we hear from San Francisco Supervisor Rafael Mandelman to learn about his unique journey into politics and to talk about the issue of homelessness in America.
