  • In NSW Australia there is a Drug Summit underway. It is exploring better ways to respond to the experience and effects of substance use. This episode is a story about the Uniting Church who helped lead the establishment of the first Drug Summit two decades ago and is still leading the Fair Treatment campaign to fight for a better way for the community to respond to drug use.


    This episode is a ChangeMakers story - it tells the story of the people who fought for that first Drug Summit, why they did it and what they achieved. It paints a picture of a different way that our society could respond to something that too many of us don't want to talk about or would prefer to push under the carpet - substance use.


    This episode was recorded in 2018 and is re-released today in support of the Fair Treatment's campaign. You can find out more about that campaign here - https://www.fairtreatment.org/

  • Its easy to think that the problems in our lives are all our fault. But some of the time - indeed much of the time - our problems also come from public life.


    That is Chrisann Jarrett's journey . When the UK's Home Office told her that she would not be treated as a UK citizen, even though she had lived there for most of her life - she felt like it was her problem. But as she talked with others she began to reframe her experience and see that it was the Home Office who had the problem and that she and others, together, could do something about it.


    This is the story of We Belong. The organisation that Chrisann and others have built - and some of the stories of the remarkable change they have made.

  • In this chat celebrated UK community leader Patrick Vernon shares a series of stories about how he has learnt to combined the strengths of putting pressure for change through grassroots activism, and negotiating for change through inside lobby and compromise. Patrick is known for his work in gaining recognition for Black migrants in the UK, particularly in campaigning for the recognition of Windrush Day and the contribution of Black leaders in UK history. He also has a fascinating set of experiences weaving change in external pressure for international solidarity and internal change in institutions like the NHS.


    Rather than our sometimes polarised political strategists that see activism or formal policy change as separate choices, Patrick makes the case for their versatile and creative interconnection if we are to make change across a progressive political ecosystem.

  • This episode is a tour de force in the art of change making and the Black history of housing activism in Cape Town.

  • Our governments play a role in providing care and support to families and kids - but we don't often think about how those services are provided and whether they actually deliver sufficient 'care.' In this conversations Jarrod Wheatley explores his experience in working in the out-of-home care space, and unpacks a distinct model of care that is based explicitly on relationships and connection.


    For anyone who has personally, or knows of people that have experienced institutionalised forms of care - whether in aged services or child services - this is for you. It is a story of a different kind of care that could transform how our governments fund and support care in and across communities.

  • In the wake of Vice President Kamala Harris's nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, we bring you a another story of hope - about US how the people responded to President Trump's election in 2016.

  • Moz Azimitabar is one of Australia’s most celebrated emerging artists, having been a finalist in the Archibald Prize twice. But Moz is not like other artists, he found his art not at art school but in the barbarism of Australia’s offshore detention regime in Papua New Guinea’s Manus Island.


    Moz sought refuge in Australia because he was persecuted for fighting for human rights in Iran, and in seeking refuge he found art as a way to live in the confines of his offshore prison.


    In this episode Moz talks to us about what art means to him as a fuel and an expression for making change.


    We also had Moz on ChangeMakers back in 2022 where he talked about his journey as a refugee and his time in Manus. You can find the podcast here or on all the podcast apps (the episode was released in February 2022).

  • This week we get a little personal and our host shares some of her experiences about making change.


    How can we hold together big ambition for social change on issues like climate alongside the small work required to build powerful connections across our diversity and difference? This piece explores the tensions of scale between big and small, fast and slow through stories and reflections across a life of organising. Our host Amanda Tattersall reads a memoir that she wrote for the Griffith Review in their August 2021 edition entitled Hey Utopia.

  • How do elections and new governments change how we make change?


    In the wake of the election of a new Labour Government in the UK, we talk with Matthew McGregor from 38 Degrees about what the new government might mean for progressive political strategy. We explore Matthew’s background and his time working with unions and the Obama campaign to learn more about 38 Degrees and its digital first strategy for engaging thousands of everyday UK citizens in political life.


    We explore the tensions and challenges that come from pushing for change when social democratic governments are in power and the need to agitate for more as well as celebrate the  change we can win. We explore how the focus of progressive campaigning shifts from stopping the outrages to offering solutions and some of the nuances in navigating that work - straddling disappointment and delivery, and when and how to press for greater ambition.


    For anyone chewing over what the UK election means (or what elections mean generally for political strategy) - this is a chat to get you thinking about some of the choices that lie ahead.

  • There is a lot of talk about the need for diversity, but what does diversity actually mean? 


    In this conversation Rathana Chea shares how he has learnt how to value the power of difference and connection across his time in making social change, sharing insights from social movements while he was in school, to community organising, to working with Greenpeace International and now working to create the Multicultural Leadership Initiative as part of the Australian climate movement.


    This conversation cuts through the platitudes that often dominate “diversity talk”, responding to the language of awkward politeness with a practice of kindness and clarity about how to create space where people of colour can lead and thrive because they are driving movements that speak to their own needs and interests.


    For more on the Multicultural Leadership Initiative see HERE.

  • The UK’s Nana’s against Fracking are a grassroots movement that spread across regional UK communities to stop gas fracking. The movement was led by a legion of women who had never, or only at a distance, been involved in making change, but felt compelled to act when they found out about the catastrophic effects of fracking on the environment and community Tina and the Nanas were a magnificent example of people seeking and achieving ordinary hope - showing the kind of community power that lies in all of us.


    This episode is a ChangeMakers #UKSpecial.


    Nanas against Fracking take some inspiration from their sisters the Knitting Nanna’s in Australia! ChangeMakers produced an episode on gas extraction in the Northern Rivers that features these Nanas back in our first season, and you can find it on ACAST or on our website.


    You can find the UK Nanas on X/Twitter here @UK_Nanas and Tina Rothery @tinalouiseUK.

  • How on earth can any of us challenge might of authoritarian government? Samuel Chu has been contesting government over-reach and human rights abuses in China, Russia, Belarus and more - and as a US citizen and community organiser has a refreshing take on how we can all contribute to a movement against authoritarianism.


    In this episode he explores how community organising has helped him think strategically about building democratic alliances across countries, and building democratic capacity everywhere.


    Samuel has previously been on ChangeMakers to talk about the Hong Kong Security Act in May 2020

  • While we know that too many women live with the ever-present threat of violence our societies seem to struggle with what to do about it. While we have refuges services, and at times the issue is raised in national debate, we seem unable to address the problem at its core.


    In the UK, Love and Power is a new organisation that is seeking to end vioelcne aganst women by putting women who have expeirenced domestic violence at the centre of the debate. Love and Power combines the insight and knowledge that comes from lived experience with the strategies of community organising to bring a new approach to an old problem.


    In this ChangeMaker Chat we talk with Charlotte Fischer and Martha Jephcott the founders of Love and Power. Marthe grew up in a violent household and brings her own experience of the limits of service provision to the movement, she combines this with Charlotte's experience as a community organiser to create a new kind of women's movement that seeks to show the public dimensions of women's expeirences as a way to find political solutions to the probelm of violence.

  • If you are in Australia you probably know of Andrew Denton the comedian, but did you know he is also a highly successful changemaker? 


    In this chat Andrew shares his journey of a life that began in comedy, then ventured into long form interviews with the popular television show “Enough Rope”, then a decade ago took him to a decision to try and change the laws on Voluntary Assisted Dying.


    Andrew shares what it was like to come to social change as a novice - and to learn the many steps of how to make powerful change with others. And despite the constant theme of death - the chat is also pretty funny.

  • What are some of the skills or insights shared by some of America’s extraordinary change makers, people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Alicia Garza or Loretta Ross? In particular, what can these people teach us about how to build larger movements for change?


    Anand Giridhardhas, author of Persuaders, talks us through what he discovered when he interviewed these and other American change makers. In this chat Anand shares the story behind why he came to write this book - about his own story as a bridge builder between cultures and the lessons he learnt about how people navigate change.


    The chat then turns to his book Persuaders - identifying lessons about how persuaders communicate, how they work across difference, and how important it is for movements to be able to think about the kind of implications that change making has on communities while they are prosecuting change with communities.


    This chat is all about Persuaders, but Anand has written four powerful books: India Calling, True American, Winners Take All and Persuaders. You can find out more about Anand here - https://www.anand.ly/.

  • What would it mean if we had local authorities and councils that saw their mission as building relationships with the communities they serve? This week we talk with Nick Kimber, the Director of Strategy and Design at the London Borough of Camden. He has helped create a council that builds relationships with the community it serves in everything that it does, from child protection to garbage collection.


    He shares with us how he came to believe in the power of relationships in local authorities, and what it means for councils to serve a mission of place making. For all those people who used to laugh at Yes Minister, this episode is a powerful salve, sharing how public servants can be powerful change makers and be a source for generating ordinary hope.


    This episode is the first in our 2024 UK special, sponsored by the Civic Power Fund and the UCL Policy Lab. They bring together extraordinary ideas and everyday experience to understand how we can change the world.

  • If climate change affects everything - then what do we do to reimagine how we work, live and care for each other? This episode is with Dr Kim Loo - a leading Australian community climate activist and local Sydney-based General Practitioner, who has connected her role as a community doctor and her passion for the natural world to make sure she is building a healthy community for us all.

     

    Here she talks about how growing up in multicultural South Western Sydney taught her about the power of community but also the impact of pollution on our health. As a doctor she has sought to create care that is not just about patients as individuals, but for healthy communities and healthy societies. She shares her understanding of the role of experts and the role of place in making change, and reminds us of the power of relationships.

     

    Kim talks about her membership of Doctors for the Environment, and you can find out more about them here: https://dea.org.au/.
