Amie Ichikawa was formerly incarcerated in California. She recently founded the nonprofit organization Woman II Woman inc. This organization was originally created as a resource hub for reentry services but has become much more after California’s SB132 “The Transgender Respect, Agency and Dignity Act” which has allowed gender self ID in prisons creating an unbelievable violation of human rights.

Tony Povilitis is a wildlife biologist, conservation activist, and founder of Life Net Nature, a "mom and pop" nonprofit devoted to wildlife research, voluntarism, and advocacy. For more than a half century, Tony has witnessed ongoing destruction of wildlife and nature in numerous countries. His conclusion: Efforts to mitigate human impacts have fundamentally failed. The only sane way forward is to vastly scale down humanity's exploitation of nature, consumption, and population. His book "Slipping through our hands, imperiled wildlife of the Greater San Juans" appeared in 2000. You'll hear more about his background as he explains how that book came about.

Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein are evolutionary biologists who have been invited to address the US Congress, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Education, and have spoken before audiences across the globe. They both earned PhDs in Biology from the University of Michigan, where their research on evolution and adaptation earned awards for its quality and innovation. They have been visiting fellows at Princeton University, and before that were professors at the Evergreen State College for fifteen years. They resigned from Evergreen in the wake of 2017 campus riots that focused in part on their opposition to a day of racial segregation and other college “equity” proposals.

Alice Friedemann, the granddaughter of two scientists, is genetically predisposed to do extensive research and exhaustive reading. Much of this was accomplished as she read while walking 10 miles round-trip between home and office.  She was a systems architect and engineer for over 25 years.  She retired from Dilbert Land to devote more time to science writing on energy, ecology, climate change, whole grains, agriculture, infrastructure, pollution, and too many other topics to list (see her website www.energyskeptic.com). The past few years she has come to see that fossil-fueled western civilization will likely collapse from dozens of factors. Especially oil, the master resource that makes all others possible. Especially in transportation since heavy-duty trucks, locomotives, and ships depend on diesel fuel.  Manufacturing is also completely dependent on the high heat fossil fuels can generate to make cement, steel, microchips, glass, ceramics, bricks and other essential products. Today we talk about her new book Life After Fossil Fuels.

Kris is a parent of an18 year old desisted daughter.  She got involved in the gender-identity fight 3 years ago when her daughter declared she was really a boy and declared a new name and pronouns.  A life-long lefty, she had no idea what was really happening with transgenderism and gender-identity.  Despite the fact that her child has desisted, she continues to work to provide information and resources, through Cardinal Support Network, for other parents who are suffering.   Maria Polaris is a mother of a transgender, sometimes non binary identifying runaway daughter who has partially transitioned and is viewing life only through a transgender lens. This event fueled her search to find out why this happened and where the influences originated. She has connected with many parents who have had the same experience at the hands of a local gender clinic, many are themselves doctors, psychologists and even lawyers.  Together they searched for evidence that would help them support her and love her without necessarily agreeing as they wait for her brain to fully develop. They found nothing substantial, except for the Danish study that concluded post transition, the suicide rate increased by 19 times post transition.  Maria has traveled to Baltimore to speak to the Catholic Church officials, to Washington D.C. to share her story with the hope of warning government officials, educators, and anyone who will listen that a medical catastrophe is taking place and it is imperative that these children and vulnerable adults be protected. Through www.parentsofrogdkids.com, Maria was introduced to Kris.  Maria is a conservative who loves nature, connecting people and recruiting like-minded citizens who will tell their stories in an effort to get better long term, healthy outcomes for these kids.  After she met Kris, together as mothers, they have become friends in a gender battle that will have many casualties.  The website is set up to help parents like us get our children the help they need, recruiting therapists, doctors and lawyers who will defend these kids' right to healthy, sexually functioning bodies as adults Cardinal Support Network is an Ohio-based parent and caregiver support network for those with loved ones who have been taken in by the gender identity juggernaut. We provide scientific, fact-based information about the medical harms of transition; we provide parent partners so that when you need help, you can call, email or meet up with someone else who understands what you're going through; and, we are working to provide support for detransitioners in the area.  Additionally, we are working on legislation to help reverse the rule that disallows providing standard therapy for gender-confused young people.

Andreas Roos is a researcher and activist working to understand, expose, and challenge the environmentally destructive logic of industrial technologies. He recently defended his dissertation in the field of Human Ecology at Lund University (Sweden) entitled Renewing power: Including global asymmetries within the system boundaries of solar photovoltaic technology. The book deals with the mismatch between the conventional expectations of solar technology and the not so promising ecological reality of massively increasing the world’s solar capacity. Andreas has also done research on the promises and perils of information and communications technologies and compared energy flows in industrial vs. non-industrial food systems.

Ben Marshall, a 'reluctant activist' and Chair of a community group called SOLVE - Supporting Our Loongana Valley Environment.  In their remote mountain valley, they’re politically diverse, but pro-action on climate - though they find themselves in the unexpected position of fighting what appears on the surface to be a good thing, the renewables industry. They didn't expect this to happen when they first objected to a huge transmission line through their beautiful valley, but then found out the realities of politics, and of the corporatisation of the transition from fossil fuels
