Ep. 480 - Colorblind Solidarity and the War in the Middle East. Jul 15, 2021

Show notes

While I'm away on vacation, the staff at The North Star will be playing some of our favorite episodes from some of our other podcast series. Today, here's a very special episode of Sick Empire. Be sure to subscribe to them on your favorite podcasting platform!
The morning of May 25th, 2020 the first episode of Sick Empire aired. Back then there was no vaccine for the Coronavirus, we were all stuck in quarantine, and George Floyd would be murdered later that day. To commemorate our one year anniversary Sick Empire will highlight the crimes against humanity happening in East Jerusalem. You’ll hear Branden Janese in conversation with four guests who all share a link to social justice work in the Middle East. In true Sick Empire fashion we blend together voices that would have most likely never found themselves in a room together including, a New York City public defender, a Muslim community organizer, a Black girl who currently lives on the Gaza Strip, and a historian and writer.
This episode is a rollercoaster. There are moments that are hard to listen to, like when one guest describes watching a recent bombing of her neighborhood in Gaza and how another guest refuses to give up fighting for freedom even when it comes with exceptional losses. We also unpack the layers of inequality in solidarity work.

"Society stereotypes "trust fund babies" as overprivileged, spoiled, adult-children who think they're superior to others and have no responsibilities. But in reality, we should all strive to have trust fund baby's and on this episode we're going to tell you exactly why. We're also going to teach you how to leave a million dollar trust fund for your beneficiaries without ever having a fraction of that amount in your bank account." - The Momentum Advisors

Ep. - 478 - My honest, transparent thoughts on anti-Semitism Jul 09, 2021

Show notes

On this re-run episode, I take a moment to really share my heart and soul about anti-Semitism. I also want to tackle the questions I have received about why more Black people are not fighting against it right now. I think I understand at least part of the answer. It's capacity. Let me unpack and explain it.

Show notes

Do you know what COINTELPRO was? In this rerun episode, I begin to unpack and explain it. It was how the federal government undermined movements for Black people and Black power. And I think we are experiencing COINTELPRO 2.0 right here, right now.

Ep. 476 - The Crisis of Christian Whiteness Jul 07, 2021

Show notes

Just over a year ago, I started a firestorm by saying that statues of the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jesus-figure should be taken down just like the monuments of slaveholders. The problem is that for tens of millions of white people, it's necessary for that Jesus, that Savior, to be white. And it has been used as a tool of oppression for hundreds of years. It's a problem. On today's re-run episode, listen in as I break it down.

Ep. 475 - Understanding the Inside/Outside Ways of Fighting for Change Jul 06, 2021

Show notes

On Today's re-run episode, I shares a painful, personal story about a lesson that I learned about organizing for change as an outsider and organizing for change as an insider. In the winter of 2014, I found myself in a deep funk after failing in so many fights for families fighting for justice. And I got a call from The White House that forever changed the way I saw my role in this movement. I wanted to speak like and lead like Malcolm, but have the access to rooms of power and privilege like Martin. It didn't work. Let me unpack and explain how that informs almost everything I do as a leader today.

Ep. 474 - The injustice of banning Sha'Carri Richardson from the Olympics and the overall anti-Blackness of the games Jul 02, 2021

Show notes

International superstar Sha'Carri Richardson was just banned from the Olympics for smoking weed after her mother just died. Black people have been using weed to deal with grief and trauma for generations. It's not a performance enhancing drug. The new ban on Sha'Carri is a part of what I think is a theme of anti-Blackness in these Olympics.
