    Season 2 Ep. 5 - Movements Start from Within
    Nov 10 2022
    After a season that journeys through the history of environmental and climate justice, how to identify good and bad solutions to climate change, the importance of storytelling and creativity in the movement, we conclude with a focus on the most foundational element of the work: each of us, our capacity for self-transformation and leadership, and our relationships in the ecosystems that are our families, neighborhoods, and communities. The Jemez Principles of Democratic Organizing includes a “commitment to self-transformation,” recognizing that “We must be the values that we say we’re struggling for and we must be justice, be peace, be community.” Organizations like the Kheprw Institute focus on just that – community empowerment through self-mastery. In this episode, guests Aghilah Nadaraj and Asli Mwaafrika from Kheprw share what it means to build “community wealth” and how leadership is within each of us. You’ll also hear from Najari Smith, founder of Rich City Rides, on his journey from Brooklyn, New York, to Richmond, California, and how he channeled the voices of his community into the visionary bike cooperative and ecosystem that it is today. Lastly, you’ll meet Climate Justice Alliance’s co-executive director Marion Gee, who talks about personal loss, grief, and her calling to leadership. We hope you’ve enjoyed Stories from Home, Season 2.

  • Season 2 Ep. 4 - Stories Are Our Currency for Change

    Season 2 Ep. 4 - Stories Are Our Currency for Change
    Sep 28 2022
    To be human is to tell stories and make meaning–through art, music, words, and creation. Just as some stories help to maintain the status quo, stories can also be the currency of change. When they compel us to question dominant narratives. When they bring us together in communion. When they heal us. When they make a Just Transition future feel attainable. In this episode, you’ll hear from two of Climate Justice Alliance’s three co-executive directors, Bineshi Albert and Monica Atkins, who share the ways their art and storytelling intersect with their leadership and organizing. Environmental justice and climate justice are inherently creative– against all odds, communities are building ways to tackle climate change and social injustices at the same time. You’ll also hear from Lenina Nadal and Cris Laguna from Center for Story-based Strategy on how to use narrative strategy for cultural organizing and building collective power.

  • Season 2 Ep. 3 - Energy Democracy & Just Transition Solutions to Climate Change

    Season 2 Ep. 3 - Energy Democracy & Just Transition Solutions to Climate Change
    Jul 19 2022
    What are real-life examples of climate solutions that are just, equitable, community-driven, and lead to a “brighter, better world?” They are community-driven solutions that stop harm, undo harm, and heal not only the Earth, but how we are in relationship with one another. In this episode we zoom in on “energy democracy,” a term describing a wide range of solutions that move away from a fossil fuel economy into renewable energies that also ensures energy is community-owned. We look at the work of the following Climate Justice Alliance members: Kentuckians for the Commonwealth as they devise community energy plans, UPROSE’s solar park and clean energy development in Brooklyn, New York, and the Oregon Just Transition Alliance’s Clean Energy campaign that flips extractive economics on its head. Bonus readings in description. Thanks to our guests, Basav Sen (Climate Change Policy Director at the Institute for Policy Studies), Cassia Heron (Immediate past chair of Kentuckians For The Commonwealth, and a co-founder of the Louisville Association for Community Economics and the Louisville Community Grocery), and Elizabeth Yeampierre (Executive Director of UPROSE).
