On Strike With Insightlooking forward into the past: a Post-Roe IndianaOn May 3, 2022, a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion announced the court's intent to overturn Roe v. Wade and 50 years of precedent providing for the legality of abortions.

She has since co-founded Latinas for Climate as a platform to amplify the voices of those in Latin America who are most affected by the climate crisis and empower young girls to add their voices to the fight. Those most affected by the climate crisis are often left out of the headlines. But this is not because they are silent, they are simply...

During this exciting time, we are in a unique position of potential. We have the opportunity to create immense change. While this episode is especially relevant when it is being recorded, January 2021, it is just as important if you are listening to it at a later time. In any situation of immense and sudden positive change, it is easy to become complacent in the system. These are the actions and the ideas to contribute to the creation of...

I talk with Claire Kaneshiro, a climate activist in Indianapolis, about performative activism.

On Strike With InsightWhat's Next America?What’s up America? On this episode of On Strike With Insight, I’ll be talking about what’s next for America. Because we did it. We defeated Donald Trump. And here’s where it gets even more exciting: as soon as he closes that last door behind him on January 20, 2021, a million other doors will open. And it’s up to us to make sure that they don’t close again. And that means that we cannot be complacent. It is so easy to look at this election and see it as the victory that ended the fight. But I know t...
2020-11-1816 minOn Strike With Insightunder 18 & unsure: election 2020This is the election for our futures - there is no doubt about it. You may not be 18 yet, and you may not be able to vote, but this does not mean that you get to be complacent. It does not mean that you get to criticize the people in power and the people running for office without taking action to vote them out. Doing the bare minimum is not what being under (or over!) 18 in this election means. Throughout this episode, published one month out from election day, I provide tangible ways for listeners to create an impact...
