We're just kind of following back 14 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: to some of the things that we've seen happen and 15 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 1: make sure that we're covering it because we do think 16 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: it's really important that we keep talking about these things. Um, 17 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: just to go ahead and put a day. Today is 18 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: December one, two thousand, twenty two, So for those of 19 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: us joining from the future to listen to the past, 20 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: this is what was happening. Welcome. Sorry, I don't know 21 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,559 Speaker 1: we didn't end it on some good news, so please 22 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: stay tuned for that. But let's begin, and we do 23 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: want to start with what's going on in Iran. We 24 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: did Monday many uh not too long ago about the 25 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: protests and the revolution that's happening in Iran and it 26 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 1: is continuing strong. So we wanted to do a quick 27 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: update because there's a lot of important information, but we're 28 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: not all getting I feel like a lot of it 29 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: has been shadow band or band because we know how 30 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: things work when it has a regime that likes to 31 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: um cover up to best put it, uh. Currently, there's 32 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: been a lot of conversation around the new ruling that 33 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: the Iranian lawmakers voted to implement the death penalty of 34 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: serious crimes against the state, and that includes speaking against God. 35 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of conversation about what a serious 36 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: crime looks like in Iran, and it happens to be 37 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: this specifically things that they feel that is immoral or 38 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: against God as they see it according to their interpretation 39 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: of the Koran. And again this is very extreme views, 40 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: so we want to make sure we understand that and 41 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: preface that. And though some misinformation has been spreading that 42 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: there is a set execution of thousands, which is not 43 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: currently what's happening. The current regime has started trying detainees 44 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: and at least one individual has been executed under this 45 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: new ruling, with several I think up the twenty cases 46 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: currently being held to be heard to whether or not 47 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: to go forward in execution. Yeah. And as of recently, 48 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: human rights organizations have estimated at least four d and 49 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: fifty deaths with over fifteen thousand people detained, including the 50 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: two women journalists who broke the story of Masa Amini's death, 51 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: new Loofer Hamadi and Allaha Mohammadi, who allegedly have been 52 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: accused by the regime as CIA agents and have been 53 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 1: held in Evan prison complex since late September. And I 54 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: hope I didn't totally a buch of those, thanks of 55 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: Samantha helping me with the pronunciations, yes um. And Among 56 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: the many arrested, many have been under the age of eighteen. 57 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: In fact, officials have said that the average age of 58 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: the protesters is fifteen years old, and many human rights 59 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: groups have said at least fifty miners have been killed, 60 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: and many activists and lawyers have estimated that up to 61 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: one thousand miners are currently being detained in adult prisons 62 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: and throughout Iranian history, there have been reports conducted by 63 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: human rights activists and organizations of the torture and mistreatment 64 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: of prisoners and detainees, and many have been seeking answers 65 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: to the conditions and welfare of the detainees without any answers. 66 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: Right in the world is watching. I don't know if 67 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: they're moving honestly fast enough. I don't know how much 68 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: can be done. We know politics are ugly, but just 69 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 1: recently the UN voted to start an investigation in Iran's 70 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: handling of the current protests, as well as many countries 71 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: around the world imposing new sanctions against Iran, including the US, 72 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: the EU, and the u N and many others. So 73 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: there are things that are happening. We are definitely watching. Again, 74 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: make sure that you are continuing to have a conversation 75 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: about what's going on, looking for the hashtags, continuing to 76 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: repost videos, and making sure that we are telling correct 77 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: information when it's there. UM. I know that there has 78 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: been UH some good reports that campaigns that have been 79 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: happening on social media has been a big medium for 80 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: this revolution. UH campaigns and hashtags being used across different platforms. 81 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: Many have called for again the repos and we're posting 82 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: the hashtags to continue to spread news as much as possible, 83 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: and it has worked. There has been conversations that there 84 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: have state executions, UM, releasing of prisoners even though they're 85 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: not of great health. But the continuing of publicizing has 86 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: been effective for the revolution that's happening in Iran. So 87 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: we want to make sure we continue to talk about 88 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: it as it happens. Yeah, and I'm sure we'll be 89 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: revisiting this topic UM in the future. UH. And moving 90 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: on UM to the Georgia abortion ban. UH. In our 91 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: here in our own state. When we originally started this episode, 92 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: we here in Georgia got really excited for a split 93 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: second as the judge Robert mcberney of Fulton County, which 94 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: is where Atlanta is UM Superior Court suspended the six 95 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: week ban as to the six week abortion ban, stating 96 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: that was unconstitutional, which was approved in twenty nineteen. But 97 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: then a week later the Georgia Supreme Court reinstated it, 98 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: temporarily restoring the laws. Yeah. Yeah, things are happening. We 99 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: know the appeals are happening, but of course, we have 100 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: a title election right now, as we've talked about previously, 101 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens as we continue forward. Okay, 102 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: but you know, let's let's it end with some more 103 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: uplifting news. Apparently the first feminist city. I'm gonna say 104 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: that because I'm not for sure. I haven't seen any 105 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: other place being called the feminist city, but you'll let 106 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: me know has finally been developed and that means we 107 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: are all heading to Glasgow. Yeah you're ready. Okay, again, 108 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: let me say I try to see if there are 109 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: any other places claiming to be a feminist city, um 110 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: like really claiming it, and I hadn't didn't find anything 111 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: except that there's a Portlandia episode about it. And you know, 112 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: I'm not a huge bred Amison fan. That's my own thing. 113 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things, so I don't watch the series, 114 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,799 Speaker 1: but apparently there was one. So if someone knows about 115 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: this and wants to let us know about it, hit 116 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: us up so we can not have to watch it 117 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: and you can just give us a rundown. But we'll 118 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: just say that Glasgow is at least the first feminist 119 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: city plan for the UK. So wou uh so what 120 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: are they doing first and foremost, they're actually having women 121 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: be the center of planning the city. Uh and would 122 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: be quote embracing a feminist urbanism. In their explanation of 123 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,239 Speaker 1: why they are taking this route um and a Euronews article, 124 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: they talk about how important it is to be inclusive 125 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: and that oftentimes, even when planners say they're being gender neutral, 126 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: it's still something that's defaulted as male, which is something 127 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: we talked about all the time. Here here's a quote. 128 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: Glasgow Council notes a gender neutral approach to city development 129 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: does not work, that women and people of marginalized genders 130 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: have diverse needs that are not currently reflected in practice, 131 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: and that an intersectional, inclusive and climate friendly approach is needed. 132 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: And that's from the Glasgow Green Counselor Holly Bruce. The 133 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: quote continues, Council agrees that in order to create public 134 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: spaces that are safe and inclusive for women and accessible 135 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: for all members of the community, it is fundamental that 136 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: women are essential to all aspects of planning, public realm, design, policy, 137 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: development and budgets. Yes, love to see it. Uh. And 138 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: so what does that look like? Well, how about more lighting, uh, 139 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: closer proximity to services, better walkability, more accessibility to toilet 140 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: and restrooms, and overall better air quality and more livable cities. 141 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: They talked about having a safe space of public spaces 142 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: as well, so you can go to the park without 143 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: random people trying to grab you. Um, and yeah, they 144 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 1: were talking about the fact that if you can meet 145 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: the needs for those in the marginalized community, that it 146 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: meets the needs of everyone. And that's what they're talking about. 147 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: And I think that's what we talked about in feminism 148 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: and intersectionality in general, but for city planning, and then 149 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: that's a glorious thing. So we love to see it. 150 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: They got a unanimous vote, which is even better. So again, yeah, 151 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: we're all mean to Glasgow. All right, back your bags? 152 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: Are they ready for my Star Wars cost play? They're ready? Well? Awesome. 153 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: Any listeners who know more about this, oh my gosh, 154 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: please write it and let us know about any of 155 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: these topics and I'm sure we'll be we'll be coming 156 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: back to them in the future.
