MARKETING/NON PROFIT • Operation Hope Africa Medical Mission

On Jan. 26, 2021, President Joe Biden signed four executive orders designed to address racial equity in the United States. With one particular action Biden hopes to right the historical wrongs Black folks have faced when it comes to housing and homeownership in this country.

Per a White House statement, “He will direct the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to take steps necessary to redress racially discriminatory federal housing policies that have contributed to wealth inequality for generations.”

And that’s why the story of what housing and other living conditions look like for many Black Americans is pretty bleak. It’s by design.

Greg Magarshak invites the legendary activist Noam Chomsky to discuss the effect of capitalism on news media in the age of internet and social media.

We explore why capitalism and the profit motive has led to such divisive and one-sided news media, and discuss my proposed solution to fixing it by moving from a system based on private ownership and competition, to one based on collective management and collaboration. I bring up examples such as Wikipedia, Open Source and Science as successful examples of the latter. Initial progress can be found at https://rational.app

As a left-libertarian who supports UBI and economies built on voluntary collaboration, I find myself inadvertently triggering people on the right with expressions like "socialism", or on the left with expressions like "cover both sides" and slightly derailing the conversation as a result. I was very glad to have the opportunity get Dr. Chomsky's opinions on these issues, and I hope that later this year we will be able to have a longer conversation, to do the subject justice.

A group of environmental activists gathered outside the 15th Southern African Annual Coal Conference in Cape Town on Thursday, to protest the continued investment in the country's coal mining industry. They called on government to start diverting investment into renewable energy alternatives.

“Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the furthest thing from it...
...Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness: a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say 'no.' But saying 'yes' begins things. Saying 'yes' is how things grow.”

During his conversation with Justin, you'll hear Jason Russell lay out the first sentence of this Stephen Colbert quote, but it's the second, unspoken, part that truly fits with his journey.

During his time as Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer at Invisible Children, Jason pushed through hurdles that most people never even dream of encountering, showing how honesty, transparency, and passion magnify the impact each of us has on the world.

Invisible Children's KONY 2012 viral phenomenon (that little video with over 100 million views) sparked a movement due in large part to Jason's visionary storytelling, but the effects weren't all positive, especially for the Invisible Children team. While their hyperfocus on a singular goal led to incredible outward success, it also resulted in a breakdown of internal care—a topic that Jason has spoken candidly about in the years following the KONY 2012 campaign.

Doing his part to normalize our conversation around mental health isn't all that Jason brings to the table, though. You'll hear him discuss Oprah and Obama, the spectrum of activism, his reaction to renewed racial tensions in America, and bringing activism to new generations through a radical new project, Broomstick Engine.

Afrikan life in this millennia is imperiled by White and Asian power. True power must nest in the ownership of the real estate wherever Afrikan people dwell. Economic destiny determines biological destiny. 'Blueprint for Black Power' details a master plan for the power revolution necessary for Black survival in the 21st century. White treatment of Afrikan Americans, despite a myriad of theories explaining White behavior, ultimately rests on the fact that they can. They possess the power to do so. Such a power differential must be neutralized if Blacks are to prosper in the 21st century ... Aptly titled, 'Blueprint for Black Power' stops not at critique but prescribes radical, practical theories, frameworks and approaches for true power. It gives a biting look into Black potentiality.

Prof. Christopher Tinson is the 2018 winner of the inaugural Pauli Murray Book Prize from the African American Intellectual History Society for his latest publication, "Radical Intellect: Liberator Magazine and Black Activism in the 1960's."
Book description: The rise of black radicalism in the 1960s was a result of both the successes and the failures of the civil rights movement. The movement's victories were inspirational, but its failures to bring about structural political and economic change pushed many to look elsewhere for new strategies. During this era of intellectual ferment, the writers, editors, and activists behind the monthly magazine Liberator (1960–71) were essential contributors to the debate. In the first full-length history of the organization that produced the magazine, Christopher M. Tinson locates the Liberator as a touchstone of U.S.-based black radical thought and organizing in the 1960s. Combining radical journalism with on-the-ground activism, the magazine was dedicated to the dissemination of a range of cultural criticism aimed at spurring political activism, and became the publishing home to many notable radical intellectual-activists of the period, such as Larry Neal, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Harold Cruse, and Askia Toure.
By mapping the history and intellectual trajectory of the Liberator and its thinkers, Tinson traces black intellectual history beyond black power and black nationalism into an internationalism that would shape radical thought for decades to come.

In this inspiring and powerful talk, Megan Francis traces the root causes of our current racial climate to their core causes, debunking common misconceptions and calling out "fix-all" cures to a complex social problem

Megan Ming Francis is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Washington where she specializes in the study of American politics, race, and the development of constitutional law. She is particularly interested in the construction of rights and citizenship, black political activism, and the post-civil war South. Born and raised in Seattle, WA, she was educated at Garfield High School, Rice University in Houston, and Princeton University where she received her M.A. and her Ph.D. in Politics.

In her award winning book, Civil Rights and the Making of the Modern American State, shows that the battle against lynching and mob violence in the first quarter of the 20th century were pivotal to the development of civil rights and the growth of federal court power. She is inspired by people who fight for justice–even when the end appears nowhere in sight.

(7 Nov 2022)
RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
AGENCY POOL
Sharm El Sheikh - 7 November 2022
1. Various of meeting between French President Emmanuel Macron and young climate change activists
2. SOUNDBITE (French) Andy Costa, Africa Bicycle Ambassador from Ivory Coast:
"What impacts us the most today (in Africa) is climate change. The whole world is convinced that Africa is the continent of the future. But we, as young African leaders, we believe that this responsibility, which is great, can only have a positive impact if we are trained and if our human capital is developed."
3. Macron during meeting  
4. SOUNDBITE (French) Tamarah Mototekema Boussamba, Director General Agridis (agri-food production and distribution), Gabon:
"You know it very well. Africa has a real challenge of food sovereignty and especially food security. But the agricultural sector is really vulnerable to climate change. Mr. President, we have the advance of the desert in some regions, floods in other regions, the increase of temperatures, etc."
5. SOUNDBITE (French) Emmanuel Macron, French President:
"I believe in equitable partnership. The moment we are living with the African continent is a rather difficult one. We can sometimes have the feeling that it is unfair because we are also paying for a lot of our old politics. We have the weight of the past on our shoulders. I have the weakness of thinking that since the speech I made in Ouagadougou five years ago, I have been able to make a difference. We have changed our policy, we are changing our policy, we are accelerating. Sometimes it takes time and I say that with a lot of humility because we say things and then it takes time for things to really change and then there is an image that France can contribute to this. There is also a lot of manipulation and a lot of anti-French sentiment in certain countries. It is largely financed, as we know, by social networks and activists financed by Russia or others. But I also say this for ourselves, because we tend to flagellate ourselves, in a way blame ourselves without looking if the Chinese, the Russians, the Turks are doing much better than the French or others in Africa? They are doing ten times worse than us. Some of them have been colonisers and imperial powers themselves. But simply, we like to hurt ourselves. So I'm not into 'miserabilism' but I'm into saying how we try to change the system faster. I think we can change it even faster by showing that there are results and therefore by being involved on very concrete projects, very local projects, tight partnership."
6. SOUNDBITE (French) Nathan Metenier, UN Youth Advisory Group from France:
"And one of the things that has deeply affected me lately is of course the record profits of fossil fuels. Of course. Shell, Total. It won't have escaped your notice that this tax that has been imposed at the European level only takes, I was told this morning, only 0.2% of these absolutely historic profits that fossil fuel companies have made and the Secretary General of the United Nations has called these profits immoral some time ago, I think you may have heard him."
7. SOUNDBITE (French) Emmanuel Macron, French President:
8. Wide of meeting
STORYLINE:
French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday met with young climate change activists on the sidelines of the UN's summit in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh.
Participants from Cameroon, Algeria, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Niger, Egypt and France took part in the exchange at COP27.
The activists underlined the urgency for action in Africa and taxation on the profits of energy giants.
