A new documentary production group, Upstream ("Inviting you to unlearn everything you thought you knew about economics"), brings you the Solidarity Economy--a phenomenon in which the forces of exploitation that Capitalism promotes are countered by the forces of mutual aid, such as credit unions, affordable housing strategies, and so on. We learn of its recent origins in 1990s Peru and before that, during the Great Depression; indeed, the Solidarity Economy is strengthened during times of crisis. We also dream about its potential in the face of ecological peril and plan for what it will take to grow the Solidarity Economy to serve as a movement of movements.
Sylvia Richardson ("Latin Waves") interviews Dr Robert Jensen on his newest book, "The End of Patriarchy: Radical Feminism for Men." He calls upon men to challenge institutionalized male dominance. He argues cogently that men should do this not only for justice's sake but for their own sake, that doing so will mitigate the violence and coercion that are at the heart of all systems of domination and subordination. Robert Jensen is a professor of media law, ethics and politics at the University of Texas, Austin. He also writes for popular media.
A generational gap in the LGBTQ community is leaving many young LGBTQ people in the dark when it comes to the history of the LGBTQ rights movement. As young people strive and often struggle to accept themselves, this lack of knowledge can be extremely harmful, potentially leaving them isolated and more prone to self-destructive behaviors, including suicide.
There are several reasons for this gap. Consider how history gets passed down from generation to generation. Mainstream history is formally taught in schools. Family history is passed down through stories told by parents and grandparents. It's easy and natural, as it should be.
Under threat from large organizations like National Public Radio, college and community radio stations are losing their place on the airwaves. Today we hear some of their stories and look at what the future might hold.

Detroit's 7-acre D-Town Farm is one of the largest urban farms in the country and is associated with a "Food Warriors" program for youth age 7-12 and a "What's For Dinner" lecture series. Its founder, Malik Kenyatta Yakini, explains why it was necessary for Detroit blacks to take ownership of the urban gardening movement, which had previously been led by whites. He describes a city of 900,000 that is served by no major grocery stores, and how a wave of gentrification is creating "two Detroits". He feels it is less important for us to resist what we are against than to create a vision of what we are for. Love is the guiding principle of the Detroit Black Community Food Security Network, along with African self-determination.

Along with a growing community of activists who grew weary of traditional activism after years of negligible results, Michelle Holman formed Community Rights Lane County (CRLC; communityrightslanecounty.org) in Oregon. Prior to that she had followed the well-worn path that citizens are expected to follow: writing letters, testifying at hearings, attending protests, and making our voices known to those with decision making authority, only to learn that the game was rigged and that the outcome was pre-determined to favor those corporate interests that seek to maximize profits at the expense of our communities. Michelle Holman presents "community rights" activism is a way to reclaim democracy in the face of a broken system.
Supported by the 2012 Community Environmental Legal Defense Funds (CELDF~celdf.org/) Democracy School school Michelle explains why being able to stop corporate harms from occurring in our communities is possible.
