the Iconocast: David Solnit (episode 68)

David Solnit uses arts with communities and movements to win positive social change. Over the last 25 years, he has used culture, art, creative actions and theater in mass actions, popular education, and celebrations. He has worked with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers–Florida tomato pickers, who won dramatic changes for workers, and recently co-coordinated large-scale arts and visuals for the Climate Justice mobilizations in Paris, and the Peoples Climate March in NYC. Solnit is a nonviolent direct action organizer, co-organizing the shutdown of the World Trade Organization in Seattle in 1999, the shutdown of Financial District of San Francisco the day after the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, and the Flood Wall Street in conjunction with the People’s Climate March. He is the editor/co-author of Globalize Liberation: How to Uproot the System and Build a Better World, Army of None, and The Battle of the Story of the Battle of Seattle.

We continue our discussion of building a trans-formative social movement in the United States. On our last program, we looked back at the social movement over the past few years and analyzed it based on the Eight Stages of Successful Social Movements. On this program, speak about the tasks ahead to build consensus and an engaged movement of people pushing for peace, justice and a sustainable way of living. Our guest is David Solnit.

Clearing the FOG on Our Tasks in 2014 to Build a Trans-formative Social Movement with David Solnit

With roots in Art &amp; Revolution, Solnit was one of the organizer's of the 1999 W.T.O. Seattle protests and the post-9/11 protests that shut down San Francisco. He is also the editor of Globalized Liberation: How to Uproot the System &amp; Build a Better World and author, with Amy Allison, of the new book Army of None.In this engaging interview, Solnit ties his roots in protest art, global justice/anti-capitalism activism and organizing to his current anti-war efforts involving counter recruitment efforts around the country. At the core we are experiencing a struggle between human oriented social movements across the planet vs. a global corporate/capitalist economic and political system. He feels the war in Iraq is a military attempt to impose corporate globalization, which is the same goal that the W.T.O., N.A.F.T.A. and similar organizations and agreements attempt to impose economically and politically. In fact, it is truly the frontline in the struggle for international social/political justice. Solnit asks "What would a People Power strategy to address the war and stop it look like?". His answer is to help organize a counter-recruitment movement to stop the supply of troops available for the current war and continued imposition of our troops in other countries (The U.S. currently has over 170 bases in 130 countries along with 6000 domestic bases/facilities). His new book is an attempt to demystify the current recruiting techniques and outright lies being used to enlist young people.Solnit concludes by discussing some recent successful attempts at what he terms true democracies based on "horizontalism", unlike the top-down, command-and-control illusionary democracy we've come to know in the United States.Recorded in Eugene, Oregon
