Alcatraz. What comes to your mind when you hear the name of that little island off the coast of San Francisco?

For me, I heard "Alcatraz" and I pictured that guy who says, "Say hello to my little friend." I know, I know, wrong coast. I couldn't have been more off base. But all I really knew is that it used to be a high-security prison and I imagined Scarface going there.

Well, did you know that Alcatraz was the site of an Indigenous protest so powerful that it was a catalyst for the Red Power Movement? In this episode we do a deep dive into this powerful untold story of Indigenous resistance.

Press play to learn about:

• How a tiny clause in a treaty from 1868 sparked a years-long protest
• The Alcatraz Proclamation in which the Indigenous Peoples claimed the island "by right of discovery"
• Multiple examples of Indigenous Peoples choosing their values over money
• The connection of the Alcatraz occupation to Indigenous Peoples' Day

My dear friends, we have been on this anti-racism journey together for 3 years, and it's AMAZING to think about the growth we've gone through together.

Over the course of more than 100 episodes, we've gone from talking about the basic building blocks to more in-depth conversations. And just like we as adults have worked to build up our own understanding of anti-racism, we need to do that for our kiddos too — and we need to do it in a way that is developmentally appropriate.

These conversations need to be happening while our kiddos are young, but that doesn't mean we need to have them drinking out of the fire hose — we need to see where they are and present the concepts in a way that is appropriate for their current understanding, using their language.

So how do you do that? We're here to help! In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why we need to be having these conversations and providing the building blocks to our young kiddos.
• The 4 goals of anti-bias education and how they apply differently to different age groups.
• More about our two at-home anti-racist education programs — Ally Elementary and Ally Elementary Jr. — and how each can help you creat an anti-racist family culture.

Ally Elementary and Ally Elementary Jr.

Registration is now open for both Ally Elementary and Ally Elementary Jr.!

Parents have been asking for a practical, interactive way to implement the anti-racist strategies that I lay out in the First Name Basis Podcast, so I created Ally Elementary and Ally Elementary Jr.

Ally Elementary is geared toward third-eighth graders, while Ally Elementary Jr. is for the smaller allies in our lives who are in preschool-second grade.

During these programs, parents will work together with their children to create a culture of anti-racism in their home. We will use hands-on activities to teach our children about everything from the untold story of how race was created to how they can disrupt racism in their everyday lives to how they can learn more about their individual identity and culture. I am so excited to watch the families in our community make a meaningful transformation and improve their communities through anti-racist action.

Registration closes September 30, so don't miss your chance. Head over to firstnamebasis.org/sneakpeek for a look inside the programs and to receive a coupon code straight to your inbox!

I've heard from so many parents who have been listening to the First Name Basis Podcast and other anti-racist educators, have tried to implement the suggestions they learn as they try to teach their children … only to feel like it's all completely backfired.

Perhaps you've been there, where you've talked to your kiddos about racism only to hear them express even MORE biases to you that they've picked up from their environment.

While I get that it can be discouraging as a parent and it may feel like you're failing, the reality is quite the opposite!

Did you know that it's actually super common for kids to make more — rather than fewer — biased comments when they're first learning about topics such as bias, differences, social justice and racism?

While we, of course, never want kids to hold onto biased ideas, the fact that they're saying them out loud to YOU means you have built trust and opened that line of communication with them.

In this episode, I'll talk more about:

• Strategies for supporting Children of Color, including exposing them to representation, helping them find safe people who can be allies and keeping an eye out for appropriated racial oppression.
• How parents of white children or children who benefit from white privilege can respond and reframe when it feels like their anti-racism efforts aren't working.
• How to use the times your kiddos express bias as a time to have more conversations about anti-racism and your family values.

The fact that there is a need for student loan forgiveness really paints a picture of just how complicated education funding has become.

So how did we get to this point, and why is the already huge cost of attending college continuing to increase?

To answer this, I interviewed my dad, Ken Clarke, who spent more than 35 years working as a financial aid professional. When he retired, he was the dean of financial aid for all Maricopa County community colleges in Arizona, and he had helped thousands of students navigate the financial aid process throughout his career.

In this episode, my dad talks more about the ins and outs of student loans, including:

• The history of student loans.
• Where student loans came from.
• What happened in history that made student loans so expensive and have such high interest rates.

This is actually the second half of the conversation I had with my dad about student loans. If you missed the first part, head over to listen to Season 7, Episode 3: "Real Talk: You Should Support Student Loan Forgiveness," where we tackle four of the most common arguments against student loan forgiveness.

6 Characteristics of a Positive Community

Anti-racism is a vital part of EVERY community. It's not something we should silo away from the other communities we are a part of, whether that's your neighborhood, church, PTA, craft circle, fitness group, etc. We should just focus on building healthy communities — where we strive for fairness, communicate when there's friction, embrace freedom of expression and celebrate traditions together.

It's been a few weeks since the White House announced a plan for student loan forgiveness, and in that time, you've likely seen all sorts of articles and social media posts pushing back against it.

Watching these arguments unfold has been frustrating, and it can be hard to know what to say.

To help all of us know how to respond, I interviewed my dad, Ken Clarke, who spent more than 35 years working as a financial aid professional.

I mean it when I say my dad is the perfect person to walk us through this conversation. When he retired, he was the dean of financial aid for all Maricopa County community colleges in Arizona, and he had helped thousands of students navigate the financial aid process throughout his career.

The conversation I had with him was so good and full of information that I ended up splitting it into two episodes.

In this first episode, we address four of the most common arguments against student loan forgiveness:

• The argument that the plan only helps the "elite."
• The complaints about having to "foot the bill" for other people's education.
• The objections that the plan is "unfair" to people who have already paid off student loans.
• The criticism that the plan is too expensive.

And be on the lookout for the bonus episode with the second half of this conversation where my dad and I talk more about the history of student loans and how college became so expensive.

Immigration is about so much more than debates, laws and policies — it's about people.

Every person who has interacted with the immigration system has their own story that goes far beyond their status, and if we really want to make productive and lasting changes to policy, we need to start by focusing on the individual people and their unique experiences.

Ana Wacker knows this from experience.

Ana and I became friends when we were both living in New York City interning at Teach For America, and I've been wanting to have her on the podcast for a long time because I knew she had so much she could teach us through her lived experience.

Ana identifies as a first generation immigrant, data analyst, and a mom. She and her family immigrated to the United States from Mexico when she was 4 years old and she knows first-hand both the practical and emotional aspects of navigating the immigration and citizenship process.

In this week's episode, Ana graciously shares her immigration story with us and provides actionable suggestions for what we can do to help make changes to immigration policy and to help immigrants in our own communities. You'll learn about:

• Why immigration is a community effort.
• Why it's important for immigrants to develop identity separate from. immigration status — and how nonimmigrants can support this process.
• What the citizenship process looks like.
• What policies we should be advocating for.
• The importance of mental health services for immigrants and how our communities can better provide that.
• How to talk to kids about immigration.

Anti-racism is meant to be done in community.

It makes sense, right? This work is SO important and we need to be sharing it with others in order for change to actually happen. But we also need support in it — especially during the times when it feel like that change is coming at a snail's pace.

In this episode, we're talking more about why community is important and how we can go about creating a community in our anti-racist work. You'll learn more about:

• Why anti-racist community should really just be community and why there shouldn't be a need to separate it out.
• How community affects both your mental and physical health.
• The two main reasons why communities form.
• 6 of the characteristics of positive community.

You know what would really help us all out? If we realized that historical figures are more than the heroes/villains that we often reduce them to.

Although past presidents and leaders had important titles with huge amounts of power, it's critical that all of us, including our children, understand that they were people. People who were complicated. People who did good things and bad things (sometimes very, very bad things that have been erased for a long time and need to be talked about). When we look beyond the hero/villian binary, we get closer to the truth and closer to learning the important lessons that history has to offer us.

In this episode — which is the last installment in our Summer School series — we are talking about how we can reconcile and grapple with hard history as adults and how we can help the kids in our lives do the same.

Summer School is a series where I'm sharing quick tips and tidbits for you to be thinking about this summer when it comes to anti-racism. Some of the tips will be for grown-ups and some will be for kids, but all of them will leave you with more information in your anti-racism toolbelt.

In this episode, you'll learn more about:

• How to reevaluate history beyond the heroes/villains, good/bad narrative.
• Why there's no such thing as old morals and new morals.
• How to help white children learn hard history while providing them a chance to identify with the allies and to see how they can be the change today.
