Water Protectors, Pipelines, and Strategy: Reflecting on Change with Love (and Revolution)

This week's Review and Reflection Show on Love (and Revolution) Radio, we take a look at the indigenous and allied resistance to the North Dakota Access Pipeline, explore why the metaphor of war doesn't work for making nonviolent change, and reflect on the meaning of being human in a rapidly changing world. Sign up for our weekly email: http://www.riverasun.com/love-and-revolution-radio/Every so often, Sherri and Rivera take an episode to explore with the listeners some of the deeper reflections from previous shows and current events. These Review and Reflection Shows offer depth and breadth to understanding the ideas that affect our lives.Related Links: #NoDAPL Solidarity (i.e. what you can do to support the water protectors)https://nodaplsolidarity.org/Amy Goodman's Coverage of #NoDAPL https://youtu.be/kuZcx2zEo4kCivilian-based Defensehttp://www.aeinstein.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Civilian-Based-Defense-English.pdfQuebec Model for Using a Plan of Nonviolent Action to Deter Frackershttps://www.opendemocracy.net/civilresistance/philippe-duhamel/civil-resistance-as-deterrent-to-fracking-part-one-they-shale-not-0Leaderful Movements (by Rivera Sun)http://www.truth-out.org/speakout/item/35079-awakening-the-movement-of-movementsLove (and Revolution) Radio interview with Simon Dennishttp://occupyradio.podomatic.com/entry/2016-03-08T14_00_00-08_00Bolivia Water Struggles in Cochabambahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochabamba_Water_WarMusic by: "Love and Revolution" by Diane Patterson and Spirit Radio www.dianepatterson.orgAbout Your Co-hosts: Sherri Mitchell (Penobscot) is an Indigenous rights attorney, writer and activist who melds traditional life-way teachings into spirit-based movements.
