SHOW NOTES

Women are being empowered toward fuller personhood through the work of Jubilee Circles. Women in Mexico are learning their rights instead of obeying patriarchal norms shaped by machismo. Some are being trained in the power of civic action and political candidacy. Others in economic self-reliance. These examples from Jubilee in Mexico relate to all of us, wherever you are listening. Hear these strong real life stories as told by Angelica and Lindsey.

Again we zero in on the changes we need in the 2020’s. The changes are huge in scale. And they can’t happen without women living into their full, divinely-given power! As that happens, in many places around the globe, societies shift out of patriarchal dominance. The inspiring stories of Jubilee in this episode illustrate this.

 We observe that the right wing of politics repeatedly undercuts the laws that empower women. Though they may say words claiming they esteem women, their actions, all too frequently, tell a story of limiting women’s rights.

Guests: Angelica Juarez Jimenez is a physician and artist, who works with Jubilee through the Jubilee Circle in San Mateo, Mexico, in the state of Puebla. Lindsey Mercer-Robledo is an organizer working with Jubilee through the Jubilee Circle in San Cristobal in the southernmost Mexican state of Chiapas. These conversations were recorded in mid-October.

Important Announcement

Lee’s new book “The Liberating Birth of Jesus: A Birth Story Able to Reverse the Earth’s Perils” clearly shows that the Christmas story is a different story from the birth story of the gospels. And knowing that can make a big difference in reversing what’s happening on our planet and to all of life.  Read more here // Hear more here,  and at TheOneEarthProject.com/books.  Order a copy directly from Jubilee or from various suppliers on the internet.

Have you ever considered that maximizing profits could be a really selfish way of investing your money? And, do you know where to bank to make the most difference in the world? 

Among Indigenous Peoples, wealth is held collectively….there are usage rights to the Earth, not ownership as white society thinks of it.

Ep. 0920–So Much We Learn from Outsiders; Immigrant Advocacy

Today we talk about courageous people in the controversial arena of immigration. Immigration has come to affect more human lives today than at anytime in the history of the world.

Thousands of people and organizations advocate for immigrants. Even so, the best advocates are the immigrants themselves. Our guest, Lane Van Ham, points out that immigrants are archetype of the “strangers in a strange land.” Enormous creativity is generated by these strangers—today and throughout human history. It is the strangers, far more than the privileged in the land, who envision the world that makes space for all of us; the only world that can save life on our planet today. Immigrant advocates change systems from the bottom up. From the margins outside of borders. They force rethinking of what “border” means and how it gets used politically, racially and religiously.
