Speaker 1: we celebrate the women around the world and amazing ways

00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: they work and an advocate to change the world and humanity.

Speaker 1: in chronological order as they are being released, congratulations to

8
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: Judge Katangi Jackson Brown. Yes, yes, I'm so glad that

9
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: wasn't like an episode we had to come back to.

10
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: I just want to go ahead put that out there

11
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: because I was like a moment like, we really hope

12
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: this works out. I really I don't want to come

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: back and cry about the fact that our country is

14
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: so much worse than we thought. Don't get me wrong,

15
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that needs to happen to

16
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: help all of humanity in our country. But to be

17
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: able to actually celebrate the first black woman justice, that's

18
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: always nice to have and we wanted to take a

19
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: second to celebrate that. So yeah, yeah, yeah, And congratulations

20
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: to her and her achievement. Uh. Did you also, I

21
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: had a moment where I was watching through all the

22
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: announcements and there was a moment where Vice President Harris

23
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: had two of the black congressmen come up and she

24
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: gave her letterhead did you see this to them, in

25
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: which she was like, I want you to write to

26
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: a black woman or a young black girl about today

27
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: and how significant it is. And of course Reverend Warnock

28
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: wrote to his daughter about the significance of what this was,

29
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: and I cried. I was like, oh my god, this

30
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: is amazing. Yeah it was, but we're not talking about

31
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: that complete today, but we did want to take that

32
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: moment to celebrate that and hope that you were able

33
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: to celebrate with us as well. But we are talking

34
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: about other world changers. Um. And this month is Earth Month, April,

35
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: and I think it's become a global thing, right, I

36
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: think all over the world is something. I know. Earth

37
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: Day is global. And if you're listening to this this

38
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: week as it's being released of this episode, then you're

39
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: listening around Earth Day, which is April twenty two for

40
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: so timely. If you're not, don't worry about it. Just pretend, okay, right,

41
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: you know why I said, Okay, So like you're talking

42
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: to me, you're talking I'm talking to you because we're

43
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: supposed to celebrate Earth Day every day. We should be

44
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: making changes and conscientious choices. Uh so you know, well

45
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna go with that. But today, Yes, I did

46
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: have a question because I remember Earth Day that was

47
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: a significant day. I also remember like thirty Rock did

48
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: a little bit about it, even having a former vice

49
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: president Gore in the show do You Try? But did

50
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: you do any special events for Earth Day in your school?

51
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: We did? I think we did, like it kind of

52
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: learned in primary school. I did kind of like I

53
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: learned about recycling type thing. Um. We would do just

54
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: kind of educational kind of events where we would go

55
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: and figure out what was the things to do we

56
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: could help the earth. When I got older, we would

57
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: read like um, Rachel Carson books. Georgia Tech, the school

58
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: that I went to for college, had a huge Earth

59
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: Day celebration, just enormous and funnily enough. I my dad

60
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: was really big. He loved the wilderness. He was very

61
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: into protecting the environment. So it was it was something

62
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: that I grew up and it was important to me

63
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: as well. So I would go to these Georgia Tech

64
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: Earth Day events and I loved them, and I went

65
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: to one I think it was my freshman year. I

66
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: won a microwave that I still had. Yes, it was

67
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: like a you know, supposed to be very efficient wave.

68
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: So I won that, and then I got a shirt

69
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: that later I would realize was from my future employer,

70
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: how Stuff Works. I still have it, but they were

71
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: a sponsor at the event, and I got a house

72
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: Stuff Work shirt. It was a big It was a

73
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: big event, and it was a really fun event. But

74
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: unfortunately shallowly, perhaps I mostly remember the free things that

75
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: I won. Really, it's not wrong, it's not wrong. Yeah,

76
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 1: I think we hadn't event when we actually planted trees

77
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: around the school and we did a whole like and

78
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: I love stuff like that. That is right up my alley,

79
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: and we did have an event like that. We also

80
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 1: watched the videos where definitely there was a cartoon Globe

81
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: World things I will tell you about recycling. I think

82
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: we did some things about like wildlife conservationalism and about

83
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: that for our day, so very wide and stretched. Of course,

84
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: learning now what it is in climate activism and what

85
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: that should look like, it's a lot more complicated than

86
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: what we learned in childhood. As well as the fact

87
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: that we were lied to about what can be recycled.

88
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: I have been lied to about what can be recycled.

89
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: It's a lie. And I still have to keep asking

90
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: people can this be recycled and getting mad about the

91
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: fact that they can't. Um. And also we could also

92
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: have this conversation about is it really on us? Is

93
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: it really on the consumer's fault when all we're offered

94
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: is bad plastics and bad options to buy, and when

95
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: the cheapest option for those who really can't afford to

96
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: go beyond like that, there's a whole different conversation. And

97
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: those with like kids, single parents with kids try to

98
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: reuse things that's not as convenient as you think. Yeah,

99
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: and I think that's a huge part of this conversation. UM. One,

100
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: not that I don't think we should take personal responsibility,

101
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: but ultimately companies are who are really holding responsible exactly.

102
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: And also yeah, like there's accessibility issues with recycling or

103
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: any type of environmentally friendly activity, which is really unfortunate,

104
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: but we have to admit it is true, right. I

105
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: mean growing up in La j Georgia, I knew nothing

106
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: about recycling because we had no access. It wasn't picked up,

107
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: there was no options to do. So I think we

108
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: had to pay money instead of being paid money. So

109
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: it was kind of like, wait, I can't afford this.

110
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: We I have four kids and we have one job

111
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: and we have I can't afford to recycle. I mean

112
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: essentially was like what as well as the fact that

113
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: it was more convenient to burn it in the back,

114
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: which is also really bad, really bad. I know exactly

115
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. I remember driving past houses and

116
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: you just see these like flames going and my mom

117
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: would be like, right, they're just burning, They're burning the trash.

118
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: That's what I grew up with. And I don't even

119
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: know if it's still accessible because for the longest time

120
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: we still like there there are dumping grounds for trash,

121
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: and that's where we would have to take it. If

122
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: it wasn't burnable, you took it to the centers, and

123
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: you also have to pay for that. We should have

124
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: to pay for that. That is a lot different conversation,

125
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: but still not accessible and not convenient. Yeah, and we

126
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: have a well it depends on when you're listening to this,

127
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: but we have a book club coming out or is

128
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: already out about all of this, because I think it

129
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: is super important because there are just so many accessibility

130
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: issues with this and also just who has impacted and

131
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: I think that gets left out a lot in this

132
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: conversation and we should not leave it out because it's

133
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: essential and it's a huge thing, y'all know. When it

134
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: comes to women around the world, we love the activists

135
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: who are trying and doing their damnedest to try to

136
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: make some change or at least speak out about the problems.

137
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: And typically these activists are in the sectional so meaning

138
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: there are so many layers to their activism and they

139
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: just take it all on because when it comes down

140
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: to it, it is this level of intersectionality that is

141
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: so important and why we have to continue to talk

142
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: about breaking down of who was being harmed and who

143
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: was being targeted. So on that note, we are actually

144
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: talking about amazing activists. I'most say j K from Fiji, Yes,

145
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: and almost said. J K is a trans feminist, queer

146
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: rights and environmental justice advocate. She has been fighting for

147
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: her community all around the world and has been highlighting

148
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: the needs and dangerous growth around the environmental issues in Fiji.

149
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: So j K is known as an outspoken speaker who

150
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: is not afraid to lead and start the conversation about

151
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: the much needed change when it comes to the environmental, queer,

152
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: trans and feminist justice which again, yeah, lots of intersectionality.

153
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: She is involved in several organizations, including the Rainbow Pride

154
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: Foundation and the women's major group Right and just some

155
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: information about each of these organizations. The Rainbow Pride Foundation,

156
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,480

Speaker 1: empowerment of women and gender equality. Right and if you

190
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: go and look at each one of the organizations. You

191
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: can learn more about what they're doing and how you

192
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: can help if you want to be a part of this.

193
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: The women's major group organization is international as where I

194
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: believe the Rainbow uh Pride Foundation is located within Fiji.

195
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: But two amazing organizations and if you look up the

196
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: things that they have been doing, they are rocking some amazing,

197
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: amazing advocacy programs. Uh So it should definitely check that out.

198
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: But ms j K has been able to speak out

199
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: all around the world to represent her community and these organizations,

200
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: or as she calls it, quote making good noise. She's

201
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 1: been able to represent the different organizations to discuss the

202
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: need to hold the leadership accountable when it comes to

203
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: both human and environmental rights. She's been able to be

204
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: spokesperson for events like the People's Summit on Climates, Rights

205
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: and Human Survival, the cop or the Conference of the Parties,

206
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: which is a UN conference that brings different countries around

207
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: the world for a global climate summit, which has been

208
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: occurring for nearly three decades. And I know we've mentioned

209
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: them before because a lot of the people we talked about,

210
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: a lot of women have been a part of this conference.

211
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 1: And it was at the CP twenty one that the

212
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: Parents Agreement was born, which was a commitment to quote

213
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: bring forward national plans setting out how much they would

214
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: reduce their admissions known as the Nationally to Herman Contributions

215
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: or in d c s, which the countries agreed to

216
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: and as in fact, she was one of those to

217
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: advocate for Fiji to move towards a concrete way of

218
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: achieving the goals of the Pairs Agreement, as she participated

219
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: in the twenty five thousand people March in climate activism

220
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: in Fiji in seventeen and for her activism, j K says,

221
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: as a young feminist and someone who believes in climate

222
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: and ecological justice, it's all about building trustworthy relations, threading

223
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: common strategies, and amplifying the lived realities of people on

224
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: the front line of climate change. These people include those

225
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: in the global South, people of color, indigenous and rural communities, women,

226
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: lgbt q I, children, people with disabilities, and youth who

227
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: are making a change in the world. It's also all

228
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: about having solidarity as the foundation of how we work

229
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: and organize. Working together to end climate inequalities, the climate

230
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: crisis offers a lens to understand intersecting forms of inherent

231
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: injustices on this planet. This is why it's important to

232
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: have gender equality, which is more than just equality between

233
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: men and women, and human rights at the center of

234
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: how we work to achieve climate justice. It's also important

235
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: that marginalized communities are not sidelined or traded off as

236
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: bargaining chips, but included in decision making and elevated in

237
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: public debate. I have learned from the l g B

238
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: t q I movement women's feminist movement, that speaking truth

239
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: to power is the strongest thing one can ever do

240
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: and the rest will fall into place. Right. I thought

241
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: that was amazing, and that was actually an interview she

242
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: did with Amnesty International about her work as recently. On

243
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: her Facebook you can see her talking about the effects

244
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: of COVID in her community and how she's combating that

245
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: and or at least bringing out needs and concerns in

246
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: relations to COVID and her community and marginalized people in

247
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: her area. She does some amazing work. Obviously, she's also

248
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: another one who needs a Wikipedia page or I need

249
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: to be an assignment. Who do we make these assignments to?

250
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: But doing some amazing work and obviously, she's a huge

251
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: advocate when it comes to feminism as well as trans

252
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: and queer rights in her area and everywhere. We love

253
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: to see it. We do, we do uh. So many

254
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,840
