""It's not just that there's a threat of a draft. Resistance to the draft has been a tremendous victory. We need just a small step further to follow through on that to get draft registration ended, to abolish the Selective Service System, and most importantly to finally force the government to acknowledge that our people power limits the extent to which they can wage war." - Edward Hasbrouck, Draft Resister

"If women remember that once upon a time we sang with the tongues of seals and flew with the wings of swans, that we forged our own paths through the dark forest while creating a community of its many inhabitants, then we will rise up rooted, like trees. And if we rise up rooted like trees, well then, women might indeed save not only ourselves, but the world."- Sharon Blackie, If Women Rose Rooted.

Development Program, dean of the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, now a professor at Vermont Law School, and distinguished senior fellow at Demos. Time magazine has called him the “ultimate insider.” Gus Speth: ‘Ultimate insider’ goes radical
Gus Speth calls for a “New Environmentalism”

This week of Love (and Revolution) Radio, we cover Sherri Mitchell's recent trip to Standing Rock with a caravan of supplies and Water Protectors.

Tune in for reflections, practical strategic advice for nonviolent action, and our solstice reflections as heart-based activists in a time of great change.
Correction: In the show, Rivera mentions that 5.2 trillion dollars worldwide have been or have been promised to be shifted about of fossil fuels. The accurate statistic is that institutions and accounts controlling 5.2 trillion dollars have pledged or moved their assets that are currently held in fossil fuels.

Quotes from the show:
Now, more than ever, each voice of peace in whatever way it's spoken, in whatever way it manifests, needs to come out, needs to be heard. - Dena Eakles
I believe whole heartedly that the time is now, and we are the people - because we're the ones that are here. - Azeeza
The answers that we're looking for for peace within our selves or peace in our communities or peace even on a larger scale, peace in our society - we have those answers within us. I've come to realize that it's not a hopeless feat. There's not some formula. There's not an equation. The answers to what would help us progress into a more sustainable and reliable future, we know. We know. It's just a matter of unlearning and re-rooting and getting back to that untouched places in us that has all those answers. And I really do think that it's just being a human being again. - Kinley
The peace that I've been searching for all my life - the answers are all inside of me. - Holly
Keep walking. The good will follow. Don't look back. - Ryan
We're not just reading about (this sustainable way of life), or re-enacting the past, there are real life things happening here all the time. - Lauren
A feeling that I'd like to share is the feeling of ease and connection and knowing that we're not alone. The work that you're doing is affecting what I'm doing. - Liz
For me, transformation is sometimes nothing more than affirmation and coming back to ourselves and being able to work from our heart and authenticity. - Jan
If we can learn to listen more to our hearts and less to our heads, we might find ourselves having a different perspective on life and the world and our fellow creatures. - Margaret

Now that the Fourth of July fireworks are over and the smoke of nationalism has cleared slightly, it's time to pick up the trash on the beaches and look at truth instead of flag-waving. This week on Love (and Revolution) Radio, we offer a special program. According to historian and researcher Walter Conser (not to mention President John Adams) the Revolutionary War was not what won our independence from Great Britain . . . and the answer to what did may surprise you to the point of rethinking everything you've been told about the founding of the United States of America.

This week on Love (and Revolution) Radio, we speak with four guests who each offer a unique lens into the upcoming, historic Fellowship of Reconciliation Centennial Conference at Seabeck, WA, exploring the past, present, and future of the largest, oldest interfaith peace organization in the United States, and how one hundred years of working for peace, justice, and nonviolence affects us all in our contemporary lives.
As Fellowship of Reconciliation celebrates its centennial year, we can almost trace the arc of social justice through their history, for indeed, FOR has been entwined in nearly every struggle for peace and justice in the last hundred years. The Fellowship of Reconciliation is the largest, oldest interfaith peace organization in the United States, working for peace, justice and nonviolence since 1915. As an interfaith organization, FOR-USA’s mission is to organize, train, and grow a diverse movement that welcomes all people of conscience to end structures of violence and war, and create peace through the transformative power of nonviolence.

Quote from Emerson:
"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood."
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self Reliance (1841).

This week on Love (and Revolution) Radio, we interview Simon Dennis of the Center for Transformational Practice about how to integrate the inner and outer work of creating powerful, meaningful, and long-lasting change. We explore constructive action, direct action, contemplative practice, and self-reliance. Along the way, we shake up the notion that those processes of change can be separated from one another . . . and we challenge the idea that any one form is more important than the others.

This week on Love (and Revolution) Radio, we talk with Paul K. Chappell about the intersections of heart, spirit, strategy and action, exploring his unique vantage point on conflict studies that comes from spending years in both the US military and in the peace movement.
Sign up for our weekly email: http://www.riverasun.com/love-and-revolution-radio/
About Our Guest:
Paul K. Chappell (http://paulkchappell.com/) is one of the most powerful voices for peace of our day. He was born to a Korean mother and an American father who was half black and half white. His father served in the military for thirty years, and completed combat missions in Korea and Vietnam. Following in his father´s military footsteps, Chappell graduated from West Point in 2002 and served as a captain in Iraq.
While on active duty, Chappell wrote two books, Will War Ever End?: A Soldier’s Vision of Peace for the 21st Century and The End of War: How Waging Peace Can Save Humanity, Our Planet, and Our Future. He is now the author of five books, including Peaceful Revolution: How We Can Create the Future Needed for Humanity’s Survival; The Art of Waging Peace, and; The Cosmic Ocean.
After leaving active duty in November 2009, Paul began serving as the Peace Leadership Director for the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation in Santa Barbara, CA. He now speaks and teaches peace leadership skills all over the world. His books offer compelling insights on how we might end war, reconnect with our basic humanity, and live more compassionate lives. Based on his personal experience, military training, and research into human nature and the myths that perpetuate war, Chappell avoids blaming any particular political group; his ideas have found traction with liberals, conservatives, veterans, and civilians. On this week's show, Paul shares with Love (and revolution) Radio his views on bringing about a peaceful revolution of the heart.

The End of Occupy Radio
That clip you just heard was March 14th, 2012, Occupiers. Left Out became Occupy Radio, and in the four years since, we’ve kept an eye on the corporate takeover of America, and the rise of the police and surveillance states.
Join us for a final retrospective on the time Rivera and I have shared, on this final episode of Occupy Radio.

Jeff Clements
Author of the book: Corporations Are Not People
Immediately, after the 2010 Citizens United ruling, author Jeff Clements published a series of predictions about the decision's impact. Three year later, his projections have come true. This week on Occupy Radio, we interview Clements about the updates to his book, Corporations Are Not People, and one thing he didn't foresee - the widespread, determined citizen opposition to corporate personhood.

Frackers tried to move into Quebec’s St. Lawrence River Valley, and they were chased back out again by an activated populace. But one victory isn’t enough. With a grassroots surveillance system set up throughout the valley, the Anti-Frackers will know as soon as the industry tries to make its return.
