Listen, We Need to Talk tests a new theory about how to change people's attitudes on controversial topics.

Marriage equality has surged across the country. Closet doors have burst open in business, entertainment, and even major-league sports.

Um die Demokratie ist es schlecht bestellt. Nicht nur global, auch in Deutschland. Eine autoritär auftretende Linke verspielt die Errungenschaften, die sie selbst erkämpft hat; eine autoritäre Rechte möchte eine zweifelhafte Vergangenheit wiederaufleben lassen. Und beide Gruppierungen schließen Allianzen mit einem erstarkenden Islamismus, der von Parallelgesellschaften heraus in Schulen und Universitäten vordringt. Die wichtigste Frage der Gegenwart ist, wie sich Freiheit und Demokratie in dieser existenziellen Krise bewahren lassen.

Major corporations exercise enormous control over our lives. They influence how we think, what we buy, who we vote for, and how our society evolves. They are key drivers of the wealth that fuels our economic system, and their power insulates them from strict government regulations and accountability. In this setting, corporate abuses—pollution, toxic and inhumane work environments, defective products—go unchecked. When the government refuses to corral industry's misdeeds, advocacy groups turn to corporate campaigns to expose and change harmful behavior.

Part diary, part political manifesto, this is the story of how an old bird with an iPhone exposed the incompetence and lies of the Tory establishment, and inspired countless others to find their voice and stand up for what they believe in.

Warum wir zynische Geldmacher, egomane Politiker und deren Lügen bekämpfen müssen. Die Welt steckt in der Endphase eines Kulturkampfs: Gier gegen Gerechtigkeit, Zerstörung gegen Nachhaltigkeit, Zynismus gegen Empathie. Nichts zeigt dies deutlicher als die Reaktionen auf die Klimakatastrophe: Hier jene, die versuchen, das Schlimmste zu verhindern, dort jene, die alles tun, um aus dem Verbrennen fossiler Stoffe Profit zu ziehen.

When both levees and governments failed in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, an organization calling itself the Common Ground Collective formed to become the largest anarchist inspired organization in modern US history.

The group also defied unjust laws by resisting home demolitions, and defended communities from white militias and police brutality.
