Igniting a Revolution: Voices in Defence of the Earth from Healing the Earth on June 30, 2006 303 views
In our interview, Steven talks about different aspects of revolutionary environmentalism, which he sees as the bridging of environmental issues with analyses of race, class, gender, and other oppressive dynamics, as well as the radicalization of ecological defence activities. Historically, environmentalism in North America has been a white bourgeois pursuit, from the 19th century through to the 1970s (which continues today). Recently, more people have been recognizing that environmentalism cannot succeed without social justice, and social justice cannot be realized without an awareness of the many pressures we face because of today's ecological crisis.

Environmentalist, prolific activist, and refugee hopeful, Tre Arrow has been incarcerated in Canada for over two years. He is being imprisoned while awaiting a possible extradition to the United States, where the FBI is accusing him of brainwashing three younger activists and masterminding the arson of logging machinery. The three people were facing a potential 80 years in prison, but after spending four consecutive days being interrogated by the FBI, they said Tre planned it all and made them do it.

Climate Change - The Battered Earth Hits Back from Healing the Earth on February 17, 2006 174 views
In an informative, frightening, and moving interview, I spoke with Lara Hansen, chief climate change scientist with the World Wildlife Fund. From rapidly melting ice, to dying oceans, to the tipping points of climate collapse, she makes the connections. We are facing unprecedented challenges, none of which have ever been experienced by humans. How do we cope, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, with the recognition that civilization is destroying the planets ability to support life? The first step is to break through the denial and the numbing and to face the reality of the situation. The avoidance of the pain will surely kill us, whereas opening up to the full scope of the situation, grim as it is, is profoundly liberating. [a rabble podcast network (rpn) show]
