  • Episode 42

    Our last podcast of the year!

    This week, we're back in the swing of things just in time to send you off for 2015. After watching our Best of Paris coverage last week, get a little glimpse of what's to come for the global climate movement in 2016. Also, I promised a while back that we'd get back to the Chamber of Commerce, so let's dig through the history of this corporate low life scum. And finally, Agunda Okeyo talks art and activism from the global, black female perspective. But first, inspired by Paris, let us walk on silent ground.

  • Episode 41 - Paris Special

    Last week, we took to the streets of Paris to bring you updates from the ground as activists responded to the idle talk of the UN climate summit. Here is a final compilation of our coverage - from start to finish; from first interview to D12, the last word of COP21 and just the beginning for the global climate justice movement!

    This week, let's use some common sense and talk about the rights of man. Next up, Recycled Propaganda, pure white low life scum, grab a seat at the middle east dinner table and from Paris to the globe, climate change can be slowed, if we make it so. But first, life is meaningless – like a blank page so get a brush, a crayon, a pen and paint your way.

     

    **NOTE: there won't be a podcast next week as we'll be in Paris covering the activist response to COP21. We will have a best-of episode the following week. In the meantime, stay up to date via occupy.com/actout

    This week, let's take a peak at the TPP uprising in DC last week and get inspired to jump on board for the next one.

    Next, money in politics may not be the sexiest issue to talk about but it is the biggest – from tweets to marching in the streets, here are some bad ass ways to join the fight.

    Next, inaction is dangerous game, Stuart Schuffman aka broke ass stuart talks living cheaply and running for mayor, and finally, opt outside, don't buy shit and happy thanksgiving.

    But first, let me muse on a muse I once came across ---- peddling tunes on a crowded street late afternoon.

    This week: since when did stupidity become so popular? I guess since dinosaurs wore saddles – yes, saddles.

    Next up, education is a right and it's time to stop treating students like customers at a luxury store.

    #BlackOnCampus sheds light on the sweeping issue of racism in our schools and let these be calls to action for all students – time to rise up, we've been silent too long.

    Next, can't see the dying forest through the green-washing and finally, nous sommes unis.

    But first, we knocked something over – now we need to clean it up.

      What’s a Veteran’s Day episode without talking to some veterans?? So, we talk to former Marine Jake Bridge and former Army journalist Emily Yates - about their time in the military, the Empire, life as a veteran and what you can do to help - today and every other day.

      Let's start with something non-controversial: race issues. A brief but important little segment specifically designed for my fellow white people.

      Next up, fuck big banks – move your money and starve the beast.

      Next, Uncle Sam hates immigrants, but he doesn't mind making money off of 'em – immigrant detention centers and the sanctuary across the road – Sarah Jackson's casa de paz.

      Then we've got 7 reasons why this corporate coup matters to you and finally, Obama busts a move. But first, perception's reality – scene.

      Medicine and money: a how-to and why you should!

      This week, we're switching things up a bit but giving you no less ammo for your activism.

      First up, let's talk bitcoin and crypto-currency – the future of money and your role in it.  Next up Kevin Zeese has been on the front lines of marijuana politics for over 30 years – what's changed, where are we at now and what can we do?

      But first, I repeat, fools – on repeat.

      This week – think before you pink – it's October and pink-washing is in full swing but here are several reasons why you should abstain from the cancer fan-fare, and how you can really battle the big C's – corporations and cancer.

      Next up, Lee Camp turns tragedy into comedy, and finally, California's bitter fight against Nestle.

      But first, paint a picture with me.

      This week – it's not our fault. What?? – anything, just pick an issue, a problem, a bombing, a war crime – totally not our fault – especially that hospital thing. What's really going on in Afghanistan and what are we doing besides bombing hospitals? Next up, one of the empire's most worthy adversaries, Abby Martin talks about her new show, corporate media and artistic outlets. And finally, I'll probably get shot for saying this but the NRA is more than worthy of a low life scum award. But first, it's just another Monday in the machine.
