  1. Remember, Episode 10 - Jill Mangaliman: Coming Together for Justice

    Remember, Episode 10 - Jill Mangaliman: Coming Together for Justice

    My guest for episode 10 is Jill Mangaliman, executive director of Got Green. Got Green is a south-Seattle based grassroots organization led by low income people and people of color that “cultivates multi-generational community leaders to be central voices in the Green Movement in order to ensure that the benefits of the green movement and green economy ... reach low income communities and communities of color.” Got Green is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and Jill has been with the organization since the early days. I talked with Jill about the challenges of organizing a community that is rapidly being displaced and about the ways in which coming together can effect change – and not just from a policy perspective. It can awaken us to new ways of interacting and remind us to model the world we are trying to build with the people who are in the struggle with us. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Jill as much as I did.

  2. Remember, Episode 9 - Sue Lenander: Planting Hope

    Remember, Episode 9 - Sue Lenander: Planting Hope

    My guest for episode 9 is Sue Lenander, program director for Plant for the Planet Seattle. She is also, I learned during our interview, an extremely committed and courageous activist. I wanted to interview Sue to find out how she recruits families and spreads her organization’s message -- and to explore the connection between trees and community building. We talked about those things, but Sue also shared a bit of her own story –- how she came to realize that her life choices had contributed to our climate crisis and how she honors her commitment to be part of the solution. She has participated in or is connected to some of the most impactful direct action climate resistance of this decade. Get ready to be inspired by my conversation with Sue Lenander.

    Remember, Episode 8 - Elmer Dixon: All Power to the People

    My guest for Episode 8 is Elmer Dixon, one of the founding members of the Seattle Chapter of the Black Panther Party. Next month marks the 50th anniversary of the Seattle Panthers, so I was incredibly honored to have the chance to interview Mr. Dixon about the party’s work in the community and as a community – and about how his experience as a Black Panther continues to inform his life today.

  4. Remember, Episode 7 - Peter Block: The Structure of Belonging

    Remember, Episode 7 - Peter Block: The Structure of Belonging

    My guest for today’s episode is author and consultant, Peter Block. Peter has written a number of books, including Community: The Structure of Belonging, which I read recently and learned a lot from. What I love about Peter’s book is that it doesn’t just focus on our interactions; it tackles the cultural assumptions and practices that have created the fragmentation that make it difficult to build cohesive communities. It challenges common beliefs about what makes a leader and the most effective ways to bring about change. And, it provides important insights and practical steps to help us build the communities we want to live in.
