APPRECIATING: THE GENTLE GIANTS . . . THE HUMPBACK WHALES OF MAUI Film For Justice 2025-05-10 | The Hawaiian Islands consists of 123 islands, extending 1,500 miles, with eight, being major volcanic islands in the North Pacific. The islands sit on the Pacific Plate and are the exposed peaks of a great undersea mountain range known as the Hawaiian-Emperor Seamount Range. They formed over millions of years, by volcanic activity over a hotspot in the Earth's mantle. Nearly 10 million people will visit Hawaii this year.They aren't the only visitors, as the Humpback Whales migrate to the warm waters, from Alaska, each year, to give birth to their young. Originally filmed in 2023, prior to the horrific fire in Lahaina, Emma Nelson, naturalist and captain for Ultimate Whale Watch & Snorkel, shares the story of the Humpbacks migration.Despite the fire of 2023, Ultimate Whale Watch continues to provide visitors with a wonderful experience and appreciation of the Humpbacks, who visit Maui from November to April of each year.Maui's own Anthony Pfluke provides the theme music, with his own creations, "Waves," and "Mo'okiha O Pi'ilani," written about the 62-foot wa'a kaulua, a large, double-hull transoceanic voyaging canoe of Maui. It was constructed over 18 years, by Hui O Wa'a Kauiua, with the help of thousands of volunteers from many parts of the world.TAGS: Humpback Whale Stories of Migration, Naturalist's Narration of Humpbacks Journey, Playful Baby Humpbacks, Up-close Humpbacks' Behavior, Authentic Whale Watch Experience,
SHARING HOSPICE: OPTIMIZING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE TERMINALLY ill - P1 & P2 In One Show Film For Justice 2023-07-28 | With: Barbara West; Host: Brent CarlsonThe “Brethren Voices” of March 2023 featured , “It All Started . . . With an Idea,” the story of Dan West and the idea known as “Heifer Project.” His efforts assisted the survivors of war-torn-Europe with livestock, to revitalize the agricultural needs of Europe, following World War II.With this edition of “Brethren Voices,” we welcome Barbara West, Dan’s granddaughter, to tell her story of serving as a “Hospice Nurse” for 27 years, with individuals who are experiencing a terminal illness.Hospice care is a type of health care that focuses on the palliation of a terminally ill patient's pain and symptoms, attending to their emotional and spiritual needs. Hospice care prioritizes comfort and quality of life by reducing pain and suffering. It provides an alternative to therapies focused on life-prolonging measures that may be arduous, likely to cause more symptoms, or are not aligned with a person's goals.Barbara West has served as a Hospice Nurse in California and Oregon and shares her experiences as well as some of the stories of those that she has served.In this culture, death is rarely discussed, but, Barbara West, shares that death can be compared to "taking off a tight shoe." In this life we have struggles in so many areas. When we finally come to the moment of death, it's just about "ease."Barbara also shares her experiences with children who are dealing with a terminal illness. "Often, it is most difficult for the parents and relatives of the child who is dying." Barbara states, "Generally, the hospice patients, themselves, tend to have less issues with death than the people around them who are having trouble, letting them go."Hospice care prioritizes comfort and quality of life by reducing pain and suffering. It provides an alternative to therapies focused on life-prolonging measures that may be arduous, likely to cause more symptoms, and possibly, not be aligned with a person's goals.Barbara West shares that the hospice team approach provides support not only for the patients, but often for those providing care.With 27 years of experience in California and Oregon, Barbara shares some of the stories of those, that she has served, including patients from various cultures and age groups.-- TAGS: Palliation, Terminally ill, Quality Care, Hospice Care, Team Care For The Terminally ill, Death Experiences, Children's Experiences With Terminal Illness, "Death Is Like Taking Off A Tight Shoe," Terminal Illness Experiences.--
aFJ 8852 - Palestines New Generation Of Resistance Does Not Fear Israel Film For Justice 2023-02-19 | In January alone, Israeli police, soldiers and settlers killed at least 35 Palestinians, including seven children, in the West Bank, as the violent repression in the territory that escalated throughout 2022 carried into the new year.Those deaths include 10 Palestinians who were fatally injured during a raid in Jenin refugee camp – the single deadliest operation in the West Bank since at least 2005, according to a UN official.Israel’s escalation of violence and collective punishment is targeted against a new generation of Palestinian fighters who, Omar explains, are rising to challenge Israel’s power in the West Bank.“There’s a rise of new spaces of resistance, if you want to call them – they have made life harder for the Israeli military to enter and arrest and exercise the power of arrest, which has been going on for the past decade or so without much resistance,” he says.He explains that in addition to Israel’s usual raids and arrest campaigns, the army is using its full force to quell this new generation of Palestinians.“We’re seeing self-defense zones defending themselves against an Israeli military that is attempting to kill them,” he says.We also talk about the role of the Palestinian Authority, and its role as subcontractor to Israel’s occupation in the context of its diminishing economic and political power amongst Palestinians.There is a “form of ideological power that maintains the PA,” he says, “but still, there’s a process of unbinding happening, a process where people are rejecting that."--Source - The Electronic Intifada - YouTubeyoutube.com/watch?v=MmYklEAFfN8--

PSA 04m51s - The Power of Loving Your Enemy - aFJ 8945-230 Film For Justice 2021-08-06 | During a lunch counter protest in 1960, a white supremacist threatened to stab David Hartsough with a knife. What David said to his would-be attacker was the last thing the man was expecting, and it transformed the situation.--Transcript: At Howard University in the Spring of 1960, lunch counters throughout the south of this country were segregated. And so we went to what was called “People’s Drugstore” (but segregated!). They were only going to serve white people, and I was with my black friends. So they closed the lunch counter and gave us nothing to eat. So we sat there for two days. It was the most challenging two days of my life. People would punch us in the stomach so hard we would fall on the floor and then they would kick us. And each time—we’d gone through nonviolence training—we would try to respond in a loving, nonviolent, caring way. The Power of Loving Your Enemy My name’s David Hartsough. I’m from San Francisco, California. I’m a member of San Francisco Friends Meeting and I would say my passion and most of my life—since meeting Martin Luther King when I was 15 years old—has been peace and justice and promoting helping people deepen their commitment and understanding of nonviolence, and how we can transform this world from greed and violence and militarism and racism, environmental destruction into a life that I think God would like us to live, which is just and peaceful and care for all of creation. Why Nonviolent Action? I’ve chosen nonviolence and nonviolent action as a means of social change partly because I believe that we’re all God’s children. We’re all brothers and sisters, and an injury to any person is an injury to me. We’re all related. So it’s morally right and it’s trying to walk our talk that love is not just something to talk about with your little family—the world is our family. Putting Quakerism into Practice I think the essence of Jesus’ message is to love another, and even love our enemy. So we really need to put that into practice in our own lives and our work. It’s not something we do one hour a week at the meetinghouse on Sunday, it’s really how we relate to one another and our families and our communities and our nation and the world. Seeking That of God in Our Enemies I think a challenge for me and all of us as Friends is to seek out that of God in one another with our friends and neighbors and with the “enemy.” I don’t think there’s some people that have that of God in them and there’s some people that are totally evil. That’s what our government and many governments teach the people, is “we’re the good guys and they’re the bad guys.”I think Martin Luther King called it the Beloved Community, and when we talk about the kingdom of God, what are our challenges to help build that kingdom, that brotherhood here on Earth? That’s a very important part of what being a Quaker means. The Lunch Counter Protest (Spring, 1960) Toward the end of the second day I heard a guy come up from behind me saying, “If you don’t get out of the store in two seconds, I’m going to stab this through your heart.” In his hand was a switchblade. I had two seconds to decide, well, do I really believe in nonviolence and the power of love? Or is there some other way I should be dealing with this guy? But I only had two seconds to think about it, and we’d had a lot of practice, so I just looked him in the eye and said, “Well, Friend, do what you believe is right but I’ll still try to love you.” And it was quite amazing—I was just 21 years old at the time—his jaw began to drop, and his hand was shaking with the knife, which began to fall, and he turned around and left the store. He was ready for any kind of violence on my part, but he was not ready for someone saying, “I’ll still try to love you.” -- Tags: Love, Community, Non-Violence, Friendship, Peace, Justice, Brotherhood, Solutions, Quakerism, Politics, -- Show LinksPSA 04m51s - The Power of Loving Your Enemy - aFJ 8945-230YouTubeyoutu.be/4tiL2EiQ5hs Run Time: 04:50;27 View Original ShowThe Power of Loving Your Enemyyoutu.be/ZJJeLbJ2ERc05m38s--Also, this show is available for local public TV stations to broadcast.

Vandana Shiva - Two Paths to the Future of Food and Farming Film For Justice 2021-06-28 | There are two paths to the future of our food and farming. The first path is made by walking with nature, co-creating and co-producing with sensitivity, intelligence and care with diverse species, the living earth and her complex web of life. This is the path of life which has sustained humanity in its diversity over millennia. Each community and culture has co-evolved its own distinctive path according to its climates, soils and biodiversity, and contributed to the diversity of food and farming systems. The diversity of cultures of food and agriculture are united through the common and perennial principles on which life is based. Today these common principles practised by diverse schools of ecological agriculture--organic farming, permaculture, biodynamic farming, natural farming, etc.--are referred to as Agroecology. This is the path to the future. The second path is the industrial path based on fossil fuels and poisons. This path is the path of death. It goes against the principles of nature and life. It violates the principle of diversity and imposes monocultures and uniformity. It violates the principle of giving back and extracts from nature and farmers, disrupting ecological sustainability and social justice. It is the path to biodiversity extinction and climate catastrophe, of destruction of small farms and displacement of farmers, and the spread of hunger, malnutrition and chronic diseases. Walking further and faster down the path of extinction is not an intelligent choice. Ecological agriculture is an ethical, ecological and survival imperative. Dr. Vandana Shiva is a world-renowned scholar and tireless crusader for economic, food, and gender justice. Dr. Shiva was trained as a physicist, and later shifted her focus to interdisciplinary research in science, technology and environmental policy. In 1982, she founded an independent institute, the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology, which was dedicated to high quality and independent research to address the most significant ecological and social issues of our times in close partnership with local communities and social movements. In 1991, she founded Navdanya, a national movement in India to protect the diversity and integrity of living resources, especially native seed, and to promote organic farming and fair trade. In 2004, in collaboration with Schumacher College, U.K., she started Bija Vidyapeeth (Earth University), an international college for sustainable living in the Doon Valley in Northern India. -- Tags: Nature, Nurturing, Food, Farming, Ecosystems, Environmentalism, Health, Solutions, Biodiversity, Humanity, Earth, Justice, Ecology, -- Show LinksVandana Shiva - Two Paths to the Future of Food and FarmingYouTubeyoutu.be/aSmJl0AHs00 Run Time: 57:51;20 PSA and PSX ExtensionsPSA 06m05s - Heart Of This Wild Land - Walkin’ Jim Stoltz - BWFN 024-160 PegMediahttp://www.pegmedia.org/index.php?q=msvr/ep/12129/detailRun Time: 06:05;16 PSA 1m31s - Spiritualize The World - FJva148 - PSA 097YouTubeyoutu.be/YWM3l6QITqgRun Time: 01:30;18 View Original ShowsVandana Shiva - Two Paths to the Future of Food and Farming - EcoFarm 2020 Keynoteyoutu.be/9vNPGwqR4TQ50m58s Called to Resist: Chase Iron Eyesyoutu.be/tnyz76iwP5w03m56s --Also, this show is available for local public TV stations to broadcast.

During the first week of April every year, Navdanya gives a five-day course called Annam, Food as Health ( navdanyainternational.org/calendar/annam-food-as-health ), via Zoom. In this course, you’ll learn about soil and plant biodiversity and healthy eating for optimal health. You can also learn more by reading the report “Earth Rising, Women Rising: Regenerating the Earth, Seeding the Future” ( navdanya.org/site/eco-feminism/the-earth-rising,-women-rising ), written by female farmers. And, again, mark your calendars and plan your participation in the food freedom campaign, starting October 2, 2021. “When all the spiritual forces, all of nature’s forces and most of people’s forces are aligned together, what can [a few] billionaires, technocrats — who want to be richer than they are, greedier than they are, more violent than they are — do?” Shiva says. “They don’t count in the long run, really. It’s just that we cannot afford to not do the things that we can do.”--

Edward Said - Orientalism as a Tool of Colonialism Film For Justice 2021-06-06 | Edward Said's book, Orientalism, tries to answer the question of why, when we think of the Middle East, we have a preconceived notion of what kind of people live there - what they believe, how they act - even though we have never even been there, or indeed, even met anyone from there. Orientalism asks, "How do we come to understand people, strangers, who look different to us, by virtue of the color of their skin?" Said argues that the way the West - Europe and the U.S. - looks at the countries and peoples in the Middle East is through a lens that distorts the actual reality of those places and those people. He calls this lens through which we view that part of the world "Orientalism": a framework that we use to understand the unfamiliar and the strange, to make the peoples of the Middle East appear different and threatening. Said argues that understanding a vast and complex region like the Middle East in this narrow way takes away from the humanity and diversity of millions of ordinary people living decent and humane lives there. This program explores these issues in depth through an interview with Professor Said."The challenge now is - I wouldn't call it anything other than coexistence. How does one coexist with people whose religions are different, whose traditions and languages are different, but who form part of the same community, a polity, in a national sense? How do we accept difference without violence and hostility?" ~ Edward Said -- Tags: Orientalism, Imperialism, Edward Said, Politics, Race, Culture, Media, History, Humanity, -- Show Links Edward Said - Orientalism as a Tool of ColonialismYouTube youtu.be/iIbNeiVYkR0 Run Time: 57:59;07View Original ShowOrientalism as a Tool of Colonialism - Edward Saidyoutu.be/GhTLPq4KExM40m31s PSA and PSX Extensions Original Show on CorbettReport.com with transcript, mp3 audio, and videos on other video channelsBuycotts – #SolutionsWatchcorbettreport.com/buycotts-solutionswatch21m54s--Also, this show is available for local public TV stations to broadcast.

PSA 03m07s - Not Becoming Well-Adjusted To Injustice - aFJ 8962-209 Film For Justice 2021-05-07 | "In the Middle East, in Africa, in other parts of the world, the oppressed people begin to straighten their back up and say "we have broken the back of fear, we're willing to tell the truth about our suffering, we're willing to organize and mobilize, we're willing to die, we're willing to go to jail, we're willing to stay in the streets. We are not satisfied with becoming well-adjusted to injustice." That's called a hot moment. It's hard to imagine, we've been living in an ice age for thirty five years. The neo-liberal epoch is an ice age. Which is not to say that there haven't been magnificent waves of resistance, collective and otherwise: the West bank and other places. But those are the pockets. But Edward Said's coming of age was in a hot moment. Not just in the States, but around the world. And Edward Said says what? There's a people, locked into a settler-colonial experiment, complicated because its one of precious Jewish brothers and sisters who'd jump out of the burning buildings of Jew-hating Europe, but they land on the backs of some Arabs and they act as if these Arabs don't exist, they act as if there's land but no people. But that's a lie. They land on the backs of these people and their humanity is rendered invisible. And Edward Said says "No, the condition of truth is to allow suffering to speak, and to ensure that their voices, both from the grave, and from the quick has a role and place in this historical moment." - Cornel West--As the Palestine Center’s Edward Said Memorial Lecturer this year, Dr. West discusses the profound legacy of Edward Said in social and political thought. He explores Dr. Said’s role as an “engaged intellectual” whose voice provoked introspection, deep questioning, dialogue, and enduring change.Edward Said was a Palestinian-American intellectual. Born in Mandatory Palestine, but attending British-style schools, Said developed a unique perspective on culture and politics that he brought to his writings. -- Tags: Edward Said, Cornel West, Politics, History, Palestine, America, Race, Injustice, --Show LinksYouTubeAllow Suffering To Speak youtu.be/nrDrOAnadyg Run Time: 03:07;08View the Original ShowCornel West On Edward Said's Legacyyoutu.be/-pHD9l9spmA 57m59s-- Also, this show is available for local public TV stations to broadcast.

PSA 02m17s - Democracy, Humanity, Publicness - Not UnAccountability - aFJ 8962-208 Film For Justice 2021-05-06 | "We got ecological catastrophe and nuclear catastrophe impending, let alone the economic and moral and spiritual and political catastrophes that we're dealing with. And the elites tend to be not just unaccountable, but more and more, they are extensions of big banks and big corporations under highly financialized monopoly capitalist civilization. And we see it in the schools that are privatizing: a pushing out of public spiritedness, pushing out of arts programs. You see it in work place where profits are breaking records, but wages are stagnating. We can go on and on. You see it in universities, I've mentioned before, tied more and more to contracts and big money, and outcome analyses in terms of who can produce knowledge that pays.Now, Edward Said turns over in his grave when you talk about "knowledge that pays." How do you put a price on critical consciousness? How do you put a price on dignity? How do you put a price on integrity and honesty? They're priceless. But yet we, in our market driven world, are looking for the short-term outcome. Diane Ravitch puts it well when she says "Rich kids get taught and poor kids get tested."

PSA 01m17s - Palestinian Solidarity - aFJ 8963-207 Film For Justice 2021-05-05 | "I think my role is to try to facilitate, as much as possible, solidarity work between Palestinian freedom fighters and Black freedom fighters, and then be able to point to certain kinds of historical texts and historical analyses that will help us understand the overlap of what it means to deal with catastrophe. Because both peoples have catastrophic consciousness, both people are blues people. And the blues is about what? It's about catastrophe. Blues lyrically expresses catastrophe: Strange fruit - catastrophe. Nobody loves me but my mama, she might be jivin' too - that's catastrophic. And the Palestinian people have a catastrophic consciousness. Which means they have to muster unbelievable vision and will and agency in order to come to terms with the ongoing catastrophe. And I'm talking about not just the occupation, almost fifty years, but going back to 1948. And so in that sense there's strong sense for solidarity, but you could imagine there's people that don't want to see that solidarity." - Cornel West--As the Palestine Center’s Edward Said Memorial Lecturer this year, Dr. West discusses the profound legacy of Edward Said in social and political thought.

In Search of Palestine - Edward Saids Return Home - BBC Film For Justice 2021-04-22 | "In a way, it's a sort of fate of Palestinians not to end up where they started, but somewhere unexpected and far away." - Edward Said -- Edward Said was a Palestinian-American intellectual. Born in Mandatory Palestine, but attending British-style schools, Said developed a unique perspective on culture and politics that he brought to his writings. Fifty years after moving to the United States, and five years before his death, Said brought his son back to Jerusalem to show him where he was born.“In Search of Palestine - Edward Said’s Return Home” is a film presented by Edward Said, and produced by the BBC in 1998. It captures the interconnection between Said’s personal recollection and the shared memory of the Palestinian people. The film discusses the Oslo accords, ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, settlements expansion, growing apartheid system, segregation within the Israeli state, and other aspects of occupation.According to Said, the film was shown once on BBC world. However, BBC's distribution efforts in the U.S. failed miserably under the influence of the Zionist lobby that has no interest in presenting Palestinians as humans who have a history and a story to tell.--Tags: Palestine, History, Politics, Culture, Israel, Zionism, Humanity, Edward Said, -- PSA 06m00s - Deportee - Plane Wreck at Los Gatos - BV 21-01b-188"One of my heroes is Woody Guthrie.

PSA 00m52s - Become Good Ancestors - aFJ 8961-197 Film For Justice 2021-04-01 | A long time ago, 1706 I believe, is when the agreement was signed between our people and the Haudenosaunee, the 6 nations Iroquois confederacy. We signed an agreement and it came out in a wampum belt, and it's called the "one dish one spoon wampum." And in that they said that our people sat down and they said "we eat from one dish," in this case, Ohio river valley. "We eat from one place. So nobody should take more than they need. Take care of the animals that are there because we eat from one dish." And then they said "let us eat with one spoon, because if we eat with one spoon then we're relatives." So, I feel like this moment in time is our moment to do that. To become good relatives, good ancestors. The people that make things beautiful. --At 18, Winona Laduke became the youngest person to speak to the United Nations about American Indian concerns. Graduated form Harvard in economics . She realized that the problems afflicting native nations were not endemic to the people but the result of centuries of governmental exploitation, abuse and poor policies. After graduation, LaDuke moved to the White Earth reservation. She started working as the high school’s principal while completing a long-distance MA in Community Economic Development.When, in 1989, a treaty lawsuit to recover lands promised in 1867 was dismissed, LaDuke founded White Earth Land Recovery Project, which focuses on the recovery, preservation and restoration of both land and traditional practices, with the aim to strengthen spiritual and cultural heritage of the Anishinaabeg people.In the late 1990s, LaDuke started farming on White Earth and other tribal land. In the last twenty years, part of her work has focused on campaigning against the introduction of genetically modified rice on native land, as well on the construction of several pipelines. She was an important coordinator at Standing Rock, where in 2017, the Sioux Tribe and supporters fought to protect the tribe’s drinking water and ancestral lands from the Dakota Access pipeline.In early November 2017, she is raising funds to buy land on which she aims to create a hemp and heritage food farm in order to create local wealth and train young people in farming indigenous food.She has started Winona's Hemp & Heritage Farm winonashemp.com--This PSA is made from a 28 minute show:Winona LaDuke - A Biodiverse Greener Pathyoutu.be/l5g3kfzsfWE-- Tags: Environment, Planet, Economy, Sustainability, Healing, People, Indigenous, Textile, United States, Native American, Agriculture, Farming, Activism, Recovery, Preservation, Restoration, -- YouTube youtu.be/ihjIjyDlc5U -- Also, this show is available for local public TV stations to broadcast.

PSA 02m47s - Economy of Cooperation - aFJ 8961-196 Film For Justice 2021-04-01 | If you're going to change the world, you've got to change peoples' minds, but you've also got to change the material economy. So, I'm talking textiles. Let's just talk textiles for a minute. This is my hemp skirt. It's Chinese hemp because we don't make hemp in the United States. Most of us are wearing something that's made out of cotton. That would be 24% of the world's agricultural chemicals on 4% of the world's land and 5x as much water as hemp takes. Then what's the rest of the stuff that we're wearing? Unless you're wearing flax, basically we're all wearing fossil fuels. We're wearing polyesters and nylons and at some point we've got to ween ourselves and move the to post-petroleum era. Because we're going there anyway. They didn't end the stone age because they ran out of rocks. Change is inevitable. It's really just a question of who controls the change. So we want to be controlling that change. We want to be making decisions for our communities that are coherent. Because that's the way its going to work out for us. If you want somebody to fix this for you, whether its some technological genie or something else, it's not gonna happen. You've got to make sure: where's your people going to eat? Where's your water going to come from, where's your textiles going to come from, where's your energy going to come from? That's the thinking that we've got to do. So, I've been 4 years now a hemp grower. I have a state of Minnesota permit to grow industrial hemp, and basically I started it on textiles because Minnesota used to have 11 hemp mills. Now, I don't know how many Wisconsin had, but they had probably about the same amount. Until the 1940s at the end of World War II, Minnesota basically made all its clothing and all its rope with local products, so i thought "I want the renaissance of hemp." That's me, I'm here for the renaissance. And this renaissance is not going to be financed by the pillaging of Central America and Africa. This age of enlightenment that the renaissance implies is going to be financed by divestment from fossil fuels, a transformation of how we spend our money and what we do with our supply chains. All of that is how this transformation is made. Because it is not that there is not enough money in the economy, it is just very poorly spent. But part of the next economy is that it's not all about money, either. The next economy is not about competition, it's about cooperation. The reality is if we want to survive, we all have to work together. --At 18, Winona Laduke became the youngest person to speak to the United Nations about American Indian concerns.

PSA 01m44s - The Land To Which The People Belong - aFJ 8961-195 Film For Justice 2021-04-01 | I come from, also, where the wild things are. We call it omaa akiing: the land to which the people belong. It is not the concept of private property. The land to which the people belong. Think about that. It's a whole different world view, and that's really what we need to work on having. Where do we belong? What is our covenant? What is our relationship to land and to place, and how are we going to actualize that in our work and what we do? The land to which the people belong. That is where I come from. But it is also the land where the wild things are. There is that here, too, but where I live you have frogs, you have butterflies, you have all kind of biodiversity. You have wild rice, you have bears, you have mountain lions, and geese and swans and sturgeon. We live where it is good still. They say on a worldwide scale that indigenous people are about 5% of the world's population, but where we live is about 75% of the world's biodiversity. So I really think it's time for us all to work together. If you want to protect the biodiversity of life, because that's where it comes from - life comes from that - we all need to work together. Our wild rice itself lay dormant in lakes because they were flooded by white people who need to have lake homes and big boats flood our lakes out, bury our rice under there. One lake - no rice for 50 years. another was 17 years and then one day the water levels fell and the rice came back. That tells you something abut the beauty and persistence of seeds and of life itself. So that's where I come from, that is also the place, whether it's the Amazon or the Arctic or Madagascar, those are indigenous peoples' territories. We are everywhere. --At 18, Winona Laduke became the youngest person to speak to the United Nations about American Indian concerns. Graduated form Harvard in economics.

We are going to grow organic hemp fiber, food and construction products.For most of my life I have been farming. That’s to say that I have grown heritage corn, beans, squash, potatoes, tobacco and some other cool stuff. We love our plants, and they do well. My father once told me that he did not want to hear my philosophy if I could not grow corn. He was a wise man. So I grow corn.Since 2018, we have been growing industrial hemp under permits with the state of Minnesota. Those permits insure that our hemp is below .3 percent THC, and is inspected annually by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. We work, omaa akiing, here in the land to which the Anishinaabeg belong, the lands of the l855 treaty territories and the lands of our ancestors.We are about the next economy; we call it the Eighth Fire, or oshki bimaatisiiwin. We are Native owned, organic hemp fiber and product producers located in northern Minnesota.We are interested in creating textiles for the people and the planet.

What If We Change - Wilderness Is The Preservation Of The World Film For Justice 2021-03-28 | American wilderness: a priceless natural treasure. It belongs to us, the American people, and in a larger sense to the world. 2014 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the Wilderness Act. Very few ideas in human history have changed the way we see and relate to the world. America's one original unique, world altering idea, and surely our grandest, was the concept of preservation of wilderness for its own sake. No society in human history had ever had this visionary inspiration. No one can say how this revolutionary idea originated; perhaps it was always implicit in the vast wild land called the New World, waiting for the genius to receive it. What we know is in the early 20th century, a few visionary people shared a dream. Their dream led eventually to an act of congress that for the first time anywhere on Earth, mandated protection of wilderness by law. Fifty years have passed since the Wilderness Act was signed and nearly all of those who devoted themselves to see it enacted are gone. One man remains who was in at the creation: Stewart Brandborg. He makes his home where he was born in the Bitteroot Valley of western Montana. The fate of wilderness may seem inconsequential. Not so. The reality we are schooled to forget is that we are inextricably part of wild nature. That truth is now glossed as folklore, as hypocrites mouth dead dogmas decoupled from the core demands of their faith. Advocates want the wild saved as a living laboratory; only visionaries say save it for its own sake. What is never said is that man cannot and will not be human without it. In commodifying all nature capitalism commodifies mankind. If humanity is simply one class of objects, it can be bought and sold with all the rest. Manipulated humanity has lost itself in the sorcery of the mechanical. If the last wild is eradicated, only artificial virtual nature will exist. Cut away from our roots and the nourishing Earth, we must inevitably wither into a virtual species. A fundamental mutation in kind that can never be undone. This end to our human story is threatening, appalling and likely, but it is not inevitable. With enough fierce outrage, love and wisdom, we can shatter the illusion of our impotence and resist, rebel and repeal this lethal system. If we are to survive as vital autonomous human beings, we must save our miracle, our only home. We must find the spirit and courage to reconnect with the fecundity of wild nature and defend our essence from destruction. In our deepest core, we have always known that life is truly sacred and that in wildness is the preservation of the world.

PSA 01m59s - Barbara Lee - Act - Not To Become The Evil We Deplore - aFJ 8966-190 Film For Justice 2021-03-10 | Congresswoman Barbara Lee gave this speech on September 14, 2001, when she, the lone voice, cast the only vote in Congress against giving President Bush - a blank check to wage war in the wake of 9/11. The vote in response to 9/11 was on the joint resolution of the Senate and House Of Representatives cited as the "Authorization for Use of Military Force" - PUBLIC LAW 107–40--SEPT. 18, 2001. Transcription:Mr. Speaker, members, I rise today really with a very heavy heart, one that is filled with sorrow for the families and the loved ones who were killed and injured this week. Only the most foolish and the most calloused would not understand the grief that has really gripped our people and millions across the world. This unspeakable act on the United States has really forced me, however, to rely on my moral compass, my conscience, and my God for direction. September 11th changed the world. Our deepest fears now haunt us. Yet I'm convinced that military action will not prevent further acts of international terrorism against the United States. This is a very complex and complicated matter. Now, this resolution will pass, although we all know that the president can wage a war without it. However difficult this vote may be, some of us must urge the use of restraint. Our country's in a state of mourning. Some of us must stay "Let's step back for a moment. Let's just pause, just for a minute, and think through the implications of our actions today, so that this does not spiral out of control." Now, I have agonized over this vote, but I came to grips with it today and I came to grips with opposing this resolution during the very painful yet very beautiful memorial service. As a member of the clergy so eloquently said, "As we act, let us not become the evil that we deplore." -- Partial Speech (For Congressional Record):Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart, one that is filled with sorrow for the families and loved ones who were killed and injured in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Only the most foolish or the most callous would not understand the grief that has gripped the American people and millions around the world. This unspeakable attack on the United States has forced me to rely on my moral compass, my conscience, and my God for direction. September 11 changed the world. Our deepest fears now haunt us. Yet I am convinced that military action will not prevent further acts of international terrorism against the United States. I know that this use-of-force resolution will pass although we all know that the President can wage war even without this resolution. However difficult this vote may be, some of us must urge the use of restraint. There must be some of us who say, let’s step back for a moment and think through the implications of our actions today-let us more fully understand their consequences. We are not dealing with a conventional war. We cannot respond in a conventional manner. I do not want to see this spiral out of control. This crisis involves issues of national security, foreign policy, public safety, intelligence gathering, economics, and murder. Our response must be equally multifaceted. We must not rush to judgment. For too many innocent people have already died. Our country is in mourning. If we rush to launch a counterattack, we run too great a risk that woman, children, and other non-combatants will be caught in the crossfire.Nor can we let our justified anger over these outrageous acts by vicious murderers inflame prejudice against all Arab Americans, Muslim, Southeast Asians, and any other people because of their race, religion, or ethnicity.Finally, we must be careful not to embark on an open-ended war with neither an exit strategy nor a focused target. We cannot repeat past mistakes.. . .Barbara Lee's Full Speech (For Congressional Record)wagingpeace.org/rep-barbara-lees-speech-opposing-the-post-9-11-use-of-force-act--Tags: Congresswoman, Barbara Lee, War, Military, 9/11, Joint Resolution, Congress, People, World, Restraint, National Security, Foreign Policy, Public Safety, Terrorism, House of Representatives, Senate, --YouTube youtu.be/r0v7E-N3VAQ -- Links"Authorization for Use of Military Force" - PUBLIC LAW 107–40--SEPT. 18, 2001govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-107publ40/pdf/PLAW-107publ40.pdf--Also, this show is available for local public TV stations to broadcast.

Portlands Radical History - Mike Munk - Extended To 58 Minutes Film For Justice 2021-01-18 | A talk from Michael Munk, author of the book, Portland Red Guide, about Portland, Oregon's radical history. A historical guidebook of social dissent, Michael Munk’s The Portland Red Guide describes local radicals, their organizations, and their activities in relation to physical sites in the Rose City. With the aid of maps and historical photos, Munk’s stories are those that history books often exclude. The historical listings expand readers’ perspectives of the unique city and its radical past. The Portland Red Guide is a testament to Portland’s rich history of working-class people and organizations that stood against repression and injustice. It honors those who insisted on pursuing a better justification for their lives rather than the quest for material wealth, and who dedicated themselves to offering alternative visions of how to organize society.Reposted with permission from a series of talks presented on the website of the Rose Villa retirement community in Portland.This is an extended version of a 28 minute show: Portland's Radical History - Mike Munkyoutu.be/TjHkaYOrR3--Let Your Life Be a Friction to Stop the MachineA brief and crucial history of the United States.http://youtu.be/N2Xh5eN2fXY--Localization: for people and the EarthThe movement for localization is growing rapidly, worldwide.

PSA 01m38s - Corruption Is Not A Victimless Crime - aFJ 8974-112 Film For Justice 2020-12-30 | We've all heard of corruption: abusing interested power for private gain or benefit. It can be anywhere: a judge paid to deliver a favorable verdict, companies colluding to drive up prices, leaders abusing their authority to increase their power, status and wealth. It exists in countless forms, but one aspect always remains the same: once corruption takes root, it grows, and grows, and grows.Although one corrupt act may seem insignificant on its own, together these acts can crush a society. Corruption diverts resources from those who deserve them - those who can't live without them - and into the pockets of the powerful. Mansions get built while schools and hospitals fall into disrepair. Natural resources are unjustly acquired, exploited and ruined.Corruption is not a victimless crime. Corruption costs money, and in some cases, it costs lives. It puts a barrier between people and their human rights. The first step in stopping it is exposing it, but when courageous people reveal corruption, the truth can be fatal to their careers and relationships.That is where you come in. Stand up and speak out for anti-corruption laws and whistleblower rights because when we stand in solidarity, the truth will win out. Together we can stop corruption and help those in our communities fully realize their human rights.The Allard Prize celebrates anti-corruption heroes.

Chris Hedges - Integrity Takes On International Corruption Film For Justice 2020-12-29 | We live in an age of radical evil. The architects of this evil are despoiling the earth and driving the human species towards extinction. They are stripping us of our most basic civil liberties and freedoms. They are orchestrating the growing social inequality, concentrating wealth and power in the hands of a cabal of global oligarchs of fraud and theft. They are destroying our democratic institutions. The goal is to render people superfluous, pushed to the margins of society where they and their children are no longer considered to have value, value always determined by the amount of money produced and amassed.We may feel in the face of the ruthless corporate destruction of our nation, culture and ecosystem, powerless and weak, but we are not. We have a power that terrifies the ruling elites and all those we honor today are evidence of this power. Any act of rebellion, no matter how few people show up or how heavily it is censored, chips away at the edifice of power. All acts of rebellion keep alive the embers for larger movements to follow. It passes on another narrative. It will, as the rot of the state consumes itself, attract wider and wider numbers. Perhaps this will not happen in our lifetime, but if we persist, we will keep this possibility alive. If we do not it will die.

PSA 04m28s - Indonesia Corruption Watch - aFJ 8974-110 Film For Justice 2020-12-27 | "Indonesia has one of the last remaining tropical forests. If you talk about Indonesia as the producer of oxygen of the world, everyone is the victim. We need that tropical forest to be protected. We need that tropical forest not to be the source of corruption. Corruption is everywhere, corruption has been likened to a disease that is really eating the whole country and suffocating us. It hampers the country's ability to serve its people." The Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW), a finalist for the 2015 Allard Prize, is an organization of young people from all sorts of different backgrounds in Indonesia connected by one goal: to combat corruption in the government. "We investigate the case, we find the facts, we use intricate methods, and then we do press conferences about that, so we really try a different strategy. We are campaigning, we are watchdog but we also have recommendations that can be implemented." "It is not about yourself or about your own country, this is about the whole world. We have to work hand in hand for the sake of the people. I want it to be a better place for all of us."For more information on Indonesia Corruption Watch or the Allard Prize for International Integrity visit AllardPrize.orgView the Original Show on YouTube:Indonesia Corruption Watch profile - 2015 Allard Prize for International Integrity finalistyoutu.be/G-ojek3ize8--Tags: Journalism, Politics, Corporations, Corruption, Global, Power, Censorship, Integrity, Truth, Lies, Rebellion, Justice, Freedom, Evil, Wealth, Inequality, Peace, Leadership, --YouTube Link youtu.be/uhGbGYgvVgk --Also, this show is available for local public TV stations to broadcast.Phone your local public TV station (LPTV) to request they broadcast this film to your local community.

Portlands Radical History - Mike Munk Film For Justice 2020-12-26 | A talk from Michael Munk, author of the book, Portland Red Guide, about Portland, Oregon's radical history. A historical guidebook of social dissent, Michael Munk’s The Portland Red Guide describes local radicals, their organizations, and their activities in relation to physical sites in the Rose City. With the aid of maps and historical photos, Munk’s stories are those that history books often exclude. The historical listings expand readers’ perspectives of the unique city and its radical past. The Portland Red Guide is a testament to Portland’s rich history of working-class people and organizations that stood against repression and injustice. It honors those who insisted on pursuing a better justification for their lives rather than the quest for material wealth, and who dedicated themselves to offering alternative visions of how to organize society.Reposted with permission from a series of talks presented on the website of the Rose Villa retirement community in Portland.

PSA 01m37s - Chris Hedges - Good Can Transform The World - aFJ 8974-113 Film For Justice 2020-12-17 | The good draws to it the good, and this good is incomparable. It is part of the eternal battle against evil, and it has the power to transform the world. It is not human that is impotent in the struggle against evil, but the power of evil that is impotent in the struggle against human kind. The powerlessness of kindness, of senseless kindness is the secret of its immortality. It can never be conquered. The more stupid the more senseless and helpless it may seem the vaster it is. Evil is impotent before it. The prophets, religious leaders, reformers, social and political leaders are impotent before it. This dumb blind love is humankind's meaning. Human history is not about the battle of good struggling to overcome evil. It is a battle fought by a great evil struggling to crush a small kernel of human kindness and if what is human in human beings has not been destroyed even now then evil will never conquer.

DISHONORED TRUST - Marshall Islands Film For Justice 2020-11-27 | This program is set in the remote Marshall Islands, in the Pacific, which the United States took over as a United Nations ‘trust territory’ in 1945 with an obligation to ‘protect the population’s health and wellbeing’. From 1946 to 1958, the US exploded the equivalent of one Hiroshima bomb every day in the islands, contaminating its people and environment.Filming on irradiated Bikini Atoll, which cannot be safely inhabited today, perhaps ever, Pilger describes the testing in 1954 of the world's first hydrogen bomb, codenamed Bravo, which vaporised an entire island, leaving a dark chasm a mile wide in Bikini's beautiful lagoon. The inhabitants had been moved to a nearby atoll, Rongelap, where the ‘unexpected’ fallout endowed them with multiple cancers. Declassified documents describe a secret programme originally designed to test the effects of radiation on mice and used in the Marshall Islands on human beings. A US Atomic Energy official of the time describes the island of Rongelap as ‘by far the most contaminated place on Earth’.The human guinea pigs were regularly monitored and underwent scientific examination. Many suffered thyroid cancer, deformities appeared in babies and countless survivors of the original blast died from radiation poisoning. A claims tribunal was set up and quickly ran out of money. The most moving interviews in the film are with islanders, mostly elderly women, who have survived, precariously, in poverty.Today, the largest of the Marshall Islands, Kwajalein, is home to one of the United States’s most secretive bases, a missile launch pad designed as a ‘stepping stone to Asia and beyond’ and aimed at China.--This show is an excerpt from a longer show:The Coming War on China - John Pilger - Part 2youtu.be/lFvVuOrERCI--Tags: Pacific Islands, Marshall Islands, Atomic Bomb, Contamination, Environment, Radiation, Testing, Cancer, Military, United States, China, --YouTube Linkyoutu.be/h1qjlCAE_DM--Also, this show is available for local public TV stations to broadcast.Phone your local public TV station (LPTV) to request they broadcast this film to your local community.

It is both a warning and an inspiring story of resistance. The documentary reveals what the news doesn’t – that the world’s greatest military power, the United States, and the world’s second economic power, China, both nuclear-armed, may well be on the road to war.Nuclear war is not only imaginable, but planned. The greatest build-up of NATO military forces since the Second World War is under way on the western borders of Russia. On the other side of the world, the rise of China is viewed in Washington as a threat to American dominance.Filmed on five possible front-lines across Asia and the Pacific over two years, the story is told in chapters that connect a secret and ‘forgotten’ past to the rapacious actions of great power today and to a resistance, of which little is known in the West.The Coming War on China was broadcast in the UK and SBS in Australia, and seen in many other countries, including China.--No More WarMusic by Howard Switzer#NoWarhttp://WorldBeyondWar.org--The full show is on theDavid Swanson - YouTube websiteyoutube.com/user/davidcnswansonFull Show - No More Waryoutu.be/vTChuoN2Rkk--Tags: China, United States, War, Nuclear, NATO, Power, Economy, Military, Journalism, Trump, Obama, Politics, Policy, --YouTube Linkyoutu.be/lFvVuOrERCI--Also, this show is available for local public TV stations to broadcast.Phone your local public TV station (LPTV) to request they broadcast this film to your local community.
