À propos de ce contenu audio

Why do some movements change the world and others fizzle out? Former U.S. officials Macon Phillips and Walter Kerr talk to the people behind the social movements that are challenging traditional power structures around the world, from farmers in India, to dissidents in Russia, to activists in Central America, and everywhere in between. Macon and Walter break down how these groups are organizing, explain the role of tech, and explore what this means for the rest of us.Walter Kerr and Macon Phillips Politique et gouvernement Sciences politiques Sciences sociales Écritures et commentaires de voyage

      Apr 26 2021

      Macon and Walter speak with Yasmin Ullah and Tun Khin, two leaders of the Rohingya diaspora, to understand how the coup in Myanmar (Burma) has changed the situation for the Rohingya people. They talk about how the Rohingya diaspora has built new alliances with other groups inside and outside of Myanmar to stop the coup and to resettle the Rohingya back home.

      Guests include: 

      • Yasmin Ullah,  Rohingya social justice activist and president of the Rohingya Human Rights Network 
      • Tun Khin, Rohingya social justice activist and president of the Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK

      To support the Rohingya, as well as those in Myanmar fighting back against the coup, please visit:

      • Karen Women's Organization, which is working to provide immediate support for the victims of violence in Myanmar
      • Restless Beings, which is providing support for Rohingya who live in refugee camps. Most recently, the organization has raised money to help the victims of a major fire that swept through one of the largest Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh

    • Merchants of Hope: #EndSARS and Nigeria's Feminist Movement
      Apr 12 2021

      Walter and Macon talk to three of the co-founders of Nigeria's Feminist Coalition, which has taken a lead role driving many of the country's largest social movements, from the #EndSARS protests against police brutality to #ArewaMeToo, which has put a spotlight on domestic abuse in the country. Hear how they're using cryptocurrency to fundraise, engaging Nigeria's diaspora to put international pressure on the government, using technology to organize, and changing the way that Nigerians see their role in society. Walter and Macon conclude with takeaways for policymakers in the West. 

      Guests include: 

      • Odun Eweniyi, Feminist Coalition Co-Founder and COO of Piggybank, a fintech startup 
      • Laila Johnson-Salami, Feminist Coalition Co-Founder, journalist, and TV host
