This week, we're doing something a little different. Instead of a conversation, we're sharing something we've been working on for the past year — our new short documentary, 30,000 Monkeys in Our Backyard. It tells the unbelievable true story of how a small town in Georgia became ground zero for a proposed facility that would have housed 30,000 monkeys for laboratory testing — and how a group of everyday people stood up, fought back, and changed the course of their town's future. The film is a story about courage, community, and what happens when people refuse to stay silent. 30,000 Monkeys in Our Backyard premieres November 1st on YouTube — and you can watch it, share it, and take action at speciesunite.com/30000monkeys…

Making Sanctuary People: A Conversation with Author & Scholar, Gina Pérez 38:07

36 weeks yang lalu38:07

38:07

As an idea and practice, sanctuary has a long, vexed presence in American politics and social movements. In her recent book, "Sanctuary People," Gina Pérez, PhD, looks at how activists, service providers, and faith leaders and congregations in Ohio (where she lives and teaches) tapped into the long histories of faith-based and secular organizing to help the Latina/o immigrant and migrant communities that were increasingly vulnerable from 2016-2020. During the 2024 presidential election, the attacks on Ohio immigrants only reaffirm the critical need to challenge anti-immigrant rhetoric and nurture sanctuary practices and people. Gina discusses all of this and more in this podcast with CWCIT director, Bill Cavanaugh. A cultural anthropologist, Gina is also professor and chair of the Department of Comparative American Studies at Oberlin College (Oberlin, OH). She is the author of two award-winning books: "The Near Northwest Side Story: Gender, Migration, and Puerto Rican Families" and "Citizen, Student, Soldier: Latina/o Youth, JROTC and the American Dream." Her latest book, "Sanctuary People: Faith-Based Organizing in Latina/o Communities," explores sanctuary movements and practices with and among Latinas/os in Ohio from 2016-2020.…

The World Cup, the Super Bowl, the Olympic Games—arguably, these and other sporting events are among the most "sacred" events on the calendar for people around the world.

Jay teaches theology and African studies at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska (USA), where he also serves as director of the Contemporary Spirituality Program.

The Catholic Church's Role in the Struggle against Metal Mining in El Salvador (Andrés McKinley) 51:09

6 years yang lalu51:09

51:09

A CWCIT interview with Andrés McKinley, a mining and water specialist at San Salvador's Central American University (UCA). In March 2017, El Salvador became the first country in the world to ban metal mining, safeguarding its natural resources and its people's health. Leading the push was the Catholic Church and key to the effort was McKinley. Born in the U.S., McKinley has lived in Central America since 1977 and holds a master's in health administration. According to the organization, Global Witness, environmental activists are being murdered at an increasingly alarming rate worldwide. The deadliest year on record was 2017; 207 people were killed, nearly 4 a week, and 60% of recorded killings were in Latin America.* People working on land, water and mining issues are among the most vulnerable worldwide, which makes the saga of mining politics in El Salvador all the more remarkable. With important roles played by local citizen activists, an array of indigenous and other communities, and with contributions from the Church, something surprising is unfolding in this small country of 6.4 million people. *Reference: https://www.globalwitness.org/en/press-releases/deadliest-year-record-land-and-environmental-defenders-agribusiness-shown-be-industry-most-linked-killings/…
