Tell Me Something Good: Volt Energy's Gilbert Campbell

Our guest this week on Sea Change Radio, Gilbert Campbell III, the Co-Founder of Volt Energy, is here to remind us that sustainable energy is good, not only for the earth, but also for business. Campbell’s company, based in Washington, D.C., builds and operates solar projects, electric-vehicle charging stations, and offers energy storage solutions. We discuss how Volt Energy’s business model works, why there are not nearly enough minority-owned businesses in the renewable energy space, and the challenges of interacting with a new Administration that is openly hostile to science and minorities.

John Trudell: WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A HUMAN BEING (ONE of TWO)

This is a moving, thought provoking spoken word and poetry address by the Native American leader and musician John Trudell. He spoke at a benefit for the U'wa in San Francisco. Memories of that benefit in March 2001 came rushing back in the summer of 2017 when Amazon Watch announced the good news: U'wa are returning to their ancestral land from which they had been expelled. In July 2017, ten U'wa families packed up their belongings and returned to the hamlet known as Río Negro. The region had been a salt mining site. If all goes according to plan, in the next six months another 50 or so families will resettle in the area. Amazon Watch is proudly supporting their return with funds for everyday necessities like soup pots, mosquito nets, and farming tools. The families are reclaiming a part of their ancestral territory that the U'wa hope to incorporate into a new reservation, the Guanuwa Rauri-U'wa reservation. Territorial recovery, defense, and even legal recognition from the government are important for indigenous communities in Colombia and around the globe. They are all threatened by dirty energy projects, large-scale dams, roads, mining and deforestation. This rebroadcast of one of TUC Radio's most popular programs is both a shout-out to the U'wa and their journey home - and a tribute to John Trudell who spoke at the 2001 fundraiser for them. Trudell grew up on and around the Santee Sioux reservation near Omaha, Nebraska. In 1969 he participated in the Indians of All Tribes occupation of Alcatraz. From 1973 to 1979 he served as national chairman of the American Indian Movement. On February 11, 1979 Trudell led a march to the FBI headquarters in Washington D.C. Approximately 12 hours later a fire "of suspicious origin" burned down Trudell's home on the Shoshone Paiute reservation in Nevada, killing his wife Tina, their three children, and Tina's mother. Devastated by the loss of his family, Trudell withdrew from the world; "writing words" became his way "to keep some sanity" and continue to survive.

A Healthy Union Has to Avoid "Cooperative" Entanglements With Management

The Unifor Solidarity Network (solinet.ca) was created to provide a space for members of Unifor to exchange and discuss critical ideas. Solinet's guiding principles are rank-and-file democracy, working class politics, and bargaining for solidarity. Phil interviews solinet contributor Cory Weir about how class collaboration leads to corruption, how young workers challenged Justin Trudeau's anti-worker policies by turning their backs on him, and how activists from Cory's local union, Unifor Local 222 in Oshawa, sponsored a resolution calling for Palestinian self-determination and support for BDS, and had it adopted by Unifor's Canadian Council.

Using law to oppress: two Harvard forum speakers explore the grim realities of the Israeli occupation

"Law and order": that's the magical solution to all problems, according to numerous politicians and thought leaders throughout this country and its favorite ally, Israel. Today we learn a few things about the meaning of Israeli law and order -- for Palestinians. In the spring of 2017, the Palestinian Solidarity Committee at Harvard held a forum on campus featuring Palestinian and other voices exploring the realities of the Israeli occupation. Today we will hear just two of those voices, Nadia Ben Youssef, and Randa Wahbe. These speakers elaborate on the observation that law is a tool that oppressors use to oppress. Nadia Ben Youssef is an attorney and the US staff representative of the Palestinian legal defense organization, Adalah, headquartered in Haifa. Randa Wahbe is a PhD student in Anthropology at Harvard focusing her research the effects of settler colonialism in the West Bank, and is the former International Advocacy Coordinator for Ademeer, the Palestinian Prisoner support origination. We begin with Nadia Ben Youssef and end with Randa Wahbe.

From the Margins - Sept 4, 2017

From the Margins is produced by Asaf Rashid, formerly out of Fredericton but now based in Calgary. He spends his days articling for community legal aid, and his nights (sometimes) trying to make radio. This show talks about how Canadian criminal law re-enforces exploitation of workers, using the example of workplace theft. Workers are severely dealt with for workplace theft while employers can avoid paying wages with little to no consequence. Disclaimer: Nothing in this From the Margins episode is meant to support imprisonment. The example given is just trying to make a point.

#496 -- Dubious Achievements (R)

We remember magazines that have bit the dust--and defunct magazine *features*--notably Esquire's "Dubious Achievement Awards." This annual satire on the year's vice and folly is much needed today. Surely an award would have gone to the Keystone Pipeline. And to Saudi Arabia, for joining the Paris march celebrating freedom of the press. We still have CONN HALLINAN's "Are You Serious?" Awards. We'll read some. Plus another take on the Keystone Pipeline by singer DAVID ROVICS.

Back in the USSR Literary Supplement

In this episode of Back in the USSR I perform Peter Barnes's one-act play "The Preacher" about the life of Jacques Roux, one of the most radical figures of the French Revolution. I follow this up with a discussion of the class struggle to lay claim to the culture of modern society and how progressive and radical writers and artists, including me, are fighting back against capitalist monopoly control over the cultural landscape. I also talk a bit about the fantasy novel that I'm currently working on and how it challenges the conventions of a deeply conservative literary genre.

Dr. Josef Ben Levi on the Bambara and the Commerce of Enslavement

Northeastern Illinois University hosted the Forks In the Road exhibit that documented a large slave market in Natchez Mississippi where tens of thousands of enslaved Africans were brought to be sold and traded as property. Without the human labor and as Dr. Bin Levi informs us, agricultural, building and metallurgy skills embodied in the individuals stolen from Africa, plantation owners could do little with the land, taken from native inhabitants. It was big business with investors and purveyors of the goods. Many of the companies involved then are still operating today as prominent corporations in the fields of finance, insurance and clothing to give a few examples. Bin Levi talks about which Africans were preferred for labor and which for the plantation's "fancy ladies" because of their physical characteristics. He speaks about the cultural, religious and agricultural knowledge embodied in the people that were stolen from their homes, survived the brutal transport to North America and then often worked to death by in a system that applied the lash to improve individual out put in the field. It was an early example of modern Capitalism's methods and it generated the wealth used to industrialize the North.
