Economic inequality is rampant, the climate crisis is at its tipping point. Fascists are poised to take power, or already hold it. It feels like the amount of work needed to overcome these injustices is too much to handle. But what if there is a way to lower the threshold to action?

We are joined on the show by Nani Jansen Reventlow, author of Radical Justice: Building the World We Need, who argues that we all have our own spheres of influence and expertise, and each of us can be the revolutionaries we need; after all, no one else is coming to save us.

In this episode, Nani and Chris have a wide-ranging conversation exploring some of the major interconnected issues of our day, and the tapestry of activism required to bring about systemic change: from strategic litigation, digital rights and technology, to the ways in which climate and racial justice dovetail in the movement for reparations.

Growing up, journalist Shahed Ezaydi was often asked how she could call herself a feminist and still practise her faith. It’s a question that reveals a deeper issue that Muslim women often face: being ignored in feminist spaces entirely, or cast as passive victims in need of being saved.

Shahed joins us on the show for a conversation about her new book The Othered Woman: How White Feminism Harms Muslim Women.

We discuss the white saviourism and white supremacy that are at the core of white feminism, and how feminist arguments have been used to justify Western colonialism and military intervention.

We talk about the politics of the veil, and the ways in Muslim women’s oppression, wherever in the world, is usually deemed to be as a result of their religion, and the unique misogyny of Muslim men.

With Dr Sohail Jannesari. In this episode we look at the intersecting worlds of sanctuary-seeking and mental health. We consider how refugees, asylum seekers and other people on the move don’t just survive displacement, but rather build strength, community, and new ways of coping that challenge everything we know about mental health.

We talk about the global apartheid of borders, how histories of colonialism have shaped mental health services today, and what a more pluralistic ‘marginal psychology’ can offer us instead. We discuss the concept of sumud, trauma as interrupted movement, and why joy, play and the erotic can all help to inform a new, decolonial approach to mental health.
