White Noise Collective Podcast

White Noise Collective Podcast

White Noise Collective is a volunteer anti-racist feminist collective. Since 2010, we have offered spaces for deep reflection, dialogue and political education to amplify racial justice action in our movements and our lives. Our work focuses on the patterns of interaction between white racial privilege and gender marginalization. Our core collective is made up of white trans nonbinary folks and cis women dedicated to growing movements for collective liberation. We are located in and recording this podcast on Chochenyo Ohlone land in Oakland, CA. You can go to conspireforchange.org to learn more. In this time of transformation, this podcast shares the voices of long-time movement builders for racial justice, with a focus on the roles and possibilities of white people in solidarity. We welcome you to join us in this experiment as we practice growing our width to hold complexity, deepening our strategy, and honoring legacies of resistance. Thank you for joining us!

“Health does not come out of a bottle, cannot be dispensed by a pharmacy, nor can it be easily or entirely defined by health experts. Health must be defined and informed by us and our wisdom, grounded in the totality of our own experiences, from the laboratory of our lives, our lived in and living bodies.” - excerpt from the Health Justice Commons Vision Statement

    This is Gavin Newsom

    I’m Gavin Newsom. And, it’s time to have a conversation. It’s time to have honest discussions with people that agree AND disagree with us. It's time to answer the hard questions and be open to criticism, and debate without demeaning or dehumanizing one other. I will be doing just that on my new podcast – inviting people on who I deeply disagree with to talk about the most pressing issues of the day and inviting listeners from around the country to join the conversation. THIS is Gavin Newsom.
