Building Bridges, Breaking Cycles: Personal Stories of Healing, Social Justice & Activism

Author: Creative Process Original Series May 16, 2025 Duration: 12:59
How do our personal relationships affect political movements and activism? What can we learn from Native American tradition to restore ecological balance? How can transforming capitalism help address global inequality and the environmental crisis? DEAN SPADE (Author of Love in a F*cked-Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up, and Raise Hell Together) shares his reflections on the importance of understanding common relational patterns within activist movements. He emphasizes the need for solidarity and collective action in response to global crises like the conflict in Gaza and ecological disasters. Spade argues for resilience and mutual support within activist communities as essential for sustained efforts toward systemic change.

At the heart of One Planet Podcast is a simple, urgent idea: the intertwined fate of humanity and the natural world is the defining narrative of our time. This series moves beyond headlines to explore the complex, often surprising connections between climate change, global politics, and tangible environmental solutions. In each episode, you’ll hear from the people on the front lines-policy makers from bodies like the European Commission, scientists from the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, and activists from organizations including EARTHDAY.ORG and UNESCO. Their conversations dig into the real-world mechanics of a circular economy, the practical challenges of achieving net-zero emissions, and the quiet crisis of biodiversity loss affecting wildlife and ecosystems globally. The dialogue consistently returns to actionable hope, examining how regenerative agriculture can restore land, how renewable energy transitions are unfolding, and how individual carbon footprints fit into systemic change. Produced by Creative Process Original Series, this podcast is for anyone who seeks a deeper, more nuanced understanding of our ecological moment. It’s a space where the grand concepts of sustainability are broken down into human stories and strategic discussions, offering listeners not just analysis, but a sense of direction and possibility for the future we are all shaping together.
