Panorama — Episode 77 — Western Massachusetts Rights of Nature
In Panorama
Originally aired on February 24, 2024. Western Massachusetts Rights of Nature is an activist group co-founded by environmental attorney Sarah Matthews. In this episode she is joined by fellow member and graduate student Livia Charles, and president of the Nolembeka Project David Brule to discuss how the concept of giving rights to our rivers, forests, and all the animals that live in them is starting to take hold. We discuss the indigenous roots of the Rights of Nature movement, examples of how these concepts are being applied legally all around the world, and how the Nolumbeka Project is fighting to protect the rights of the Connecticut River throughout the hydropower dam relicensing process.

The Hustler Files Ep 48
EMPLOYERS ARE RE-SHAPING BOTH HOW THEY HIRE AND HOW THEY MANAGE FOR AN A-HA MOMENT
With 10 million job roles open, employers today not only need to broaden their search parameters, but they need to retain the employees they hire. Across the U.S. there are organizations popping up to assist employers by re-imagining how they hire and teaching them how to combat the biases that political unrest, structural racism, and increased mental health conditions have levied on the workforce. To the rescue in Chicago is the Chicago Resiliency Network, an initiative of the Corporate Coalition of Chicago. Heralding their charge to help employers, across their region, create workplaces that are better for employees and better for business, is Program Director, Marcos Gonzalez. Marcos and his team lead the employer cohorts through training and simulations that address the hiring of justice involved individuals and explore the root causes of trauma and toxic stress. The outcome, new knowledge, better training, and stronger resiliency practices that best suit their business.
