Resilience Against Power and Privilege (RAPP): Recent Episodes
Jo-Joe Lee and Joel Sedano
“Resilience Against Power and Privilege” (R.A.P.P.) is a podcast that aims to delve into issues Indigenous People living in America face today, which affect other communities as well. Topics will include climate change and environmental issues, disparities in urban healthcare and services for Indigenous Peoples, and the land back versus land acknowledgement debate. This project will shed light on the impacts of these issues across racial identities and highlight how the most impacted people are Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC).
The episode is a one-on-one conversation between Jo-Joe and Joel. Our co-hosts discuss their backgrounds with being houseless in the Bay Area and how those lived experiences fueled their passion for social justice work, which led to the creation of Urban Reziliency. Urban Reziliency is currently obtaining 501(c)(3) status. Urban Reziliency was began in the Bay Area and hopes to alleviate the houselessness crisis for Indigenous and 2SLGBTWIA+ folxs. This project is funded in part by the Racial Justice Mini-Grant Program through University Life and supported by the Institute for Religion, Culture and Public Life.
