    68 | Lessons from Fifty Years as a Progressive Agitator with David Fenton

    In a time when it feels like no one is listening, what does it look like to activate change? In episode 68, we are joined by special guest David Fenton as he shares decades of wisdom as an activist and now someone who has dedicated his life to work on climate change. What are the lessons we can learn around effective communication and how messaging changes behavior? David Fenton, named “one of the 100 most influential P.R.people” by PR Week and “the Robin Hood of public relations” by The National Journal, founded Fenton in 1982 to create communications campaigns for the environment, public health and human rights. For more than five decades he has pioneered the use of PR, social media and advertising techniques for social change. Fenton started his career as a photojournalist in the late 1960s – his book Shots: An American Photographer’s Journal was published in 2005. He was formerly director of public relations at Rolling Stone magazine and co-producer of the No-Nukes concerts in 1979 at Madison Square Garden with Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, and other artists. He has also helped create JStreet, Climate Nexus, the Death PenaltyInformation Center, and Families for a Future. He sold Fenton a few years ago to work on climate change full time.

    66 | Dirk’s Beaver Plane to ANWR: Jim Stump and the Arctic Refuge

    If you could spend a few days in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, would you do it? What would you see there? Would you survive? Here we are joined by Jim Stump of BioLogos to hear about just such a trip and the wondrous facets of God’s creation that lie far beyond our normal day-to-day lives. Brace yourself for a fun ride with some fascinating insights! More from Jim! Jim's Substack Jim's Books Visit Biologos The Feast of Creation Here are a few are a few concrete next steps from Jim: Pay attention this fall. A public comment period is expected later this year, likely between Halloween and Thanksgiving, on proposed seismic testing in the coastal plain. That will be an important official opportunity to speak against further exploration. Contact your elected officials. Call your senators and representative (find them here) and tell them you oppose oil and gas development in the Arctic Refuge and Western Arctic. This threat exists because Congress opened the door to leasing, so Congress needs to hear from us. Help others understand what is at stake. Share articles, posts, films, and resources about ANWR with people in your circles. ProtectTheArctic.org is a good place to watch for updates and action alerts. Learn from and support those already leading. Follow and support indigenous groups such as the Gwich’in Steering Committee and Grandmother’s GrowingGoodness.
