This July 4th I can't celebrate the birth of a nation that was created on stolen indigenous land, and built with the labour of enslaved Africans and poor European peasants who had been driven off their own ancestral lands.
But I *do* want to acknowledge-- and celebrate-- the rejection of monarchy as a form of government. May we resign the concept of "Divine Right of Kings" to the dustbin of history forever.
So today I will be celebrating my own "Declaration of Interdependence." To acknowledge that I am connected to all other people (even those with whom I disagree), and that I am also a part of a web of life that includes all species.
Happy Interdependence Day, y'all.....

Asset-based community development (ABCD) is a grassroots approach to community building that focuses on identifying and leveraging local strengths and resources rather than deficits. It emphasizes the inherent capacities, skills, and assets within a community, including its people, organizations, and natural features. ABCD encourages residents to take an active role in shaping their community's future by collaborating, sharing knowledge, and mobilizing resources to address challenges and pursue opportunities.
Join us as we discuss ABCD with April Doner, Steward at the ABCD Institute at DePaul University.

We will be discussing both the student occupation at Cal Poly Humboldt in support of a CeaseFire in Gaza, as well as the upcoming Decolonizing Economics Summit happening online May 1st-3rd.

"Capitalism as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion.”
― Albert Einstein, Why Socialism?

Tom Neilson - Trouble-Making Troubadour
Folks have often heard me quote Toni Cade Bambara, who famously said “the role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible.” A true artist does much more that make things beautiful, although The Redneck certainly does want more beauty in the world. Really, an artist’s role is to illuminate our world. It is not merely to entertain us, but to challenge us to imagine what might be. Tom Nielson does that, and much more. He was born and raised on a family farm, and spent his early years with his hands in the soil. And it shows. The Redneck is joined in this episode by Tom Neilson. Tom comes from a rural background with deep farming roots. He is a musician, an activist, a spoken word artist, and a baseball player. I know Tom personally, and I promise you will want to watch this one.
Consumerism Vs. Democracy - Century of the Self
Consumerism has long been heralded as the hallmark of modern society, shaping our perceptions, desires, and ultimately, our identities. Over the past century, corporations have orchestrated a relentless campaign aimed at convincing the public that products are the key element of stability and contentment in our lives. They have convinced most Americans that the key to happiness and self-actualization lies in buying the right things. The rise of consumerism was not an organic development, but a well thought out strategy to undermine democracy at the highest levels of society. Join us as we discuss the individuals primarily responsible for turning active citizens into passive consumers and how their hatred for the public led from an unethical pursuit of profit to the hunt for political power.
Lee Camp - Humor is a Catalyst
The Redneck interviews comedian Lee Camp, who is probably the funniest Leftist in the US. I met him during the Occupy Wall Street Movement and he has been cracking me up ever since. Humor has been a dynamic force in shaping social change, acting as a catalyst for dialogue, challenging societal norms, and fostering empathy. Through satire, parody, and comedy, humorists have the unique ability to illuminate injustice, critique power structures, and mobilize communities towards collective action. Join Lee and David for a very special episode of Redneck Gone Green.
