the Iconocast: Ashanti Alston Omowali (episode 42) | In this episode, Joanna and Nekeisha interview Ashanti Alston Omowali. Ashanti is an anarchist activist, speaker, writer, and former member of the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army (BLA) and a former political prisoner. He was also the co-chair of the National Jericho Movement (to free U.S. political prisoners.) Ashanti came of age as the political action of the 1960's was hitting its peak. He recalls struggling through Malcolm Xâs biography as a teen and feeling awestruck at the 1967 rebellions that saw numerous American neighborhoods temporarily taken over by the people who lived there, including his home town of Plainfield, New Jersey. He joined the Black Panther Party while still in high school, starting a chapter in Plainfield, and later going underground with the Black Liberation Army. For a while, he straddled the above ground Panther work of selling newspapers and running breakfast programs with more aggressive underground tactics. In 1974 he was involved in a Connecticut âbank expropriation,â captured and imprisoned for 11 plus years. Today, Ashanti is active in the prison abolition movement (Critical Resistance and the Jericho Movement), in Anarchist People of Color organizing, and in efforts to connect organizers of colour in the north with the Zapatistas (Estacion Libre) in Mexico. He is also a loving father to his son Biko and partner to fellow change agent, Viviane Saleh-Hanna. Download this interview for 99¢ suggested cost.

The Iconocast Episode 3: Waziyatawin (part 1) | In this episode (part one of two), we (Sarah Lynne Anderson and Mark Van Steenwyk) interview Dakota scholar Waziyatawin. Among other things, we discuss how Christianity is intrinsically unjust, how justice requires the entire dismantling of civilization, and how denominations, if they are sincere in their apologies to Indigenous peoples, should take the first step of handing over unused lands to the tribe upon whose land they occupy. | 4/1/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Creation: Interview with Bruce Friedrich | Recently, The Progressive Radio Show had a great interview with Bruce Friedrich, vice president for policy and government affairs at PETA. During the conversation, Friedrich responded to several challenging questions about PETA's tactics, drew connections between his Christian faith, his veganism and his activism on behalf of nonhuman animals, and discussed his book The Animal Activist's Handbook, which he co-authored with Matt Ball (co-founder of Vegan Outreach). You can download the MP3 at the Progressive Web site. We also have it here. Truth be told, I am highly critical of the way PETA's public campaigns often reinforce sexism in their efforts to combat speciesism, and the way they don't seem to make deep connections between ALL oppressions as evidenced by their ill-conceived KKK-action (see Humans are also animals article for a pretty solid critique). That said, I think Friedrich is very thoughtful and candid, and he makes some excellent points about why our call to nonviolence and mercy as Jesus-followers should be extended to nonhuman animals, and why our concern for nonhuman animals does not mean disregard for human suffering. | 6/27/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
