• 0:27
  Speaker 1: little off. Apologies in advance. Yeah, that's how Probably that

• 0:44
  Speaker 1: longer than what you're hearing is the most Yes, she's
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a magician. But we are jumping in today with a
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: little bit of what's going on around in the world. Um,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and we don't have much. We're not doing a big
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: piece for a date. We're just kind of following back
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: to some of the things that we've seen happen and
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: make sure that we're covering it because we do think
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it's really important that we keep talking about these things. Um,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: just to go ahead and put a day. Today is
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: December one, two thousand, twenty two, So for those of
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: us joining from the future to listen to the past,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: this is what was happening. Welcome. Sorry, I don't know
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: we didn't end it on some good news, so please
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: stay tuned for that. But let's begin, and we do
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: want to start with what's going on in Iran. We
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: did Monday many uh not too long ago about the
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: protests and the revolution that's happening in Iran and it
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: is continuing strong. So we wanted to do a quick
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: update because there's a lot of important information, but we're
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: not all getting I feel like a lot of it
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: has been shadow band or band because we know how
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: things work when it has a regime that likes to
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: um cover up to best put it, uh. Currently, there's
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: been a lot of conversation around the new ruling that
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the Iranian lawmakers voted to implement the death penalty of
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: serious crimes against the state, and that includes speaking against God.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot of conversation about what a serious
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: crime looks like in Iran, and it happens to be
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: this specifically things that they feel that is immoral or
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: against God as they see it according to their interpretation
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: of the Koran. And again this is very extreme views,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: so we want to make sure we understand that and
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: preface that. And though some misinformation has been spreading that
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: there is a set execution of thousands, which is not
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: currently what's happening. The current regime has started trying detainees
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and at least one individual has been executed under this
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: new ruling, with several I think up the twenty cases
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: currently being held to be heard to whether or not
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to go forward in execution. Yeah. And as of recently,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: human rights organizations have estimated at least four d and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: fifty deaths with over fifteen thousand people detained, including the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: two women journalists who broke the story of Masa Amini's death,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: new Loofer Hamadi and Allaha Mohammadi, who allegedly have been
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: accused by the regime as CIA agents and have been
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: held in Evan prison complex since late September. And I
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: hope I didn't totally a buch of those, thanks of
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Samantha helping me with the pronunciations, yes um. And Among
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the many arrested, many have been under the age of eighteen.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: In fact, officials have said that the average age of
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the protesters is fifteen years old, and many human rights
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: groups have said at least fifty miners have been killed,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and many activists and lawyers have estimated that up to
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: one thousand miners are currently being detained in adult prisons
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and throughout Iranian history, there have been reports conducted by
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: human rights activists and organizations of the torture and mistreatment
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: of prisoners and detainees, and many have been seeking answers
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to the conditions and welfare of the detainees without any answers.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Right in the world is watching. I don't know if
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: they're moving honestly fast enough. I don't know how much
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: can be done. We know politics are ugly, but just
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: recently the UN voted to start an investigation in Iran's
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: handling of the current protests, as well as many countries
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: around the world imposing new sanctions against Iran, including the US,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the EU, and the u N and many others. So
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: there are things that are happening. We are definitely watching. Again,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: make sure that you are continuing to have a conversation
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: about what's going on, looking for the hashtags, continuing to
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: repost videos, and making sure that we are telling correct
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: information when it's there. UM. I know that there has
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: been UH some good reports that campaigns that have been
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: happening on social media has been a big medium for
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: this revolution. UH campaigns and hashtags being used across different platforms.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Many have called for again the repos and we're posting
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the hashtags to continue to spread news as much as possible,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and it has worked. There has been conversations that there
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: have state executions, UM, releasing of prisoners even though they're
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: not of great health. But the continuing of publicizing has
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: been effective for the revolution that's happening in Iran. So
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: we want to make sure we continue to talk about
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: it as it happens. Yeah, and I'm sure we'll be
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: revisiting this topic UM in the future. UH. And moving
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: on UM to the Georgia abortion ban. UH. In our
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: here in our own state. When we originally started this episode,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: we here in Georgia got really excited for a split
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: second as the judge Robert mcberney of Fulton County, which
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: is where Atlanta is UM Superior Court suspended the six
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: week ban as to the six week abortion ban, stating
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: that was unconstitutional, which was approved in twenty nineteen. But
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: then a week later the Georgia Supreme Court reinstated it,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: temporarily restoring the laws. Yeah. Yeah, things are happening. We
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: know the appeals are happening, but of course, we have
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: a title election right now, as we've talked about previously,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens as we continue forward. Okay,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: but you know, let's let's it end with some more
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: uplifting news. Apparently the first feminist city. I'm gonna say
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: that because I'm not for sure. I haven't seen any
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: other place being called the feminist city, but you'll let
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: me know has finally been developed and that means we
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: are all heading to Glasgow. Yeah you're ready. Okay, again,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: let me say I try to see if there are
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: any other places claiming to be a feminist city, um
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: like really claiming it, and I hadn't didn't find anything
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: except that there's a Portlandia episode about it. And you know,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not a huge bred Amison fan. That's my own thing.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of things, so I don't watch the series,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: but apparently there was one. So if someone knows about
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: this and wants to let us know about it, hit
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: us up so we can not have to watch it
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and you can just give us a rundown. But we'll
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: just say that Glasgow is at least the first feminist
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: city plan for the UK. So wou uh so what
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: are they doing first and foremost, they're actually having women
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: be the center of planning the city. Uh and would
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: be quote embracing a feminist urbanism. In their explanation of
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: why they are taking this route um and a Euronews article,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: they talk about how important it is to be inclusive
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and that oftentimes, even when planners say they're being gender neutral,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: it's still something that's defaulted as male, which is something
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: we talked about all the time. Here here's a quote.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Glasgow Council notes a gender neutral approach to city development
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: does not work, that women and people of marginalized genders
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: have diverse needs that are not currently reflected in practice,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and that an intersectional, inclusive and climate friendly approach is needed.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And that's from the Glasgow Green Counselor Holly Bruce. The
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: quote continues, Council agrees that in order to create public
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: spaces that are safe and inclusive for women and accessible
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: for all members of the community, it is fundamental that
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: women are essential to all aspects of planning, public realm, design, policy,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: development and budgets. Yes, love to see it. Uh. And
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: so what does that look like? Well, how about more lighting, uh,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: closer proximity to services, better walkability, more accessibility to toilet
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and restrooms, and overall better air quality and more livable cities.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: They talked about having a safe space of public spaces
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: as well, so you can go to the park without
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: random people trying to grab you. Um, and yeah, they
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: were talking about the fact that if you can meet
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the needs for those in the marginalized community, that it
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: meets the needs of everyone. And that's what they're talking about.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: And I think that's what we talked about in feminism
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and intersectionality in general, but for city planning, and then
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: that's a glorious thing. So we love to see it.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: They got a unanimous vote, which is even better. So again, yeah,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: we're all mean to Glasgow. All right, back your bags?
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Are they ready for my Star Wars cost play? They're ready? Well? Awesome.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Any listeners who know more about this, oh my gosh,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: please write it and let us know about any of
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: these topics and I'm sure we'll be we'll be coming
• 9:21
