 esday on WBAI.](https://www.wbai.org/program/?program=294)\n​\n\nExtinct
 ion Rebellion Radio is dedicated to covering weekly news and stories on th
 e climate crisis through conversation\, interviews and expert perspectives
 . Our stories focus on our rebellion against the climate crisis with a foc
 us on the systems that have brought us to crisis and the complexities\, pe
 ople\, and nuances that exist within them.\n​\n\nThis show is rooted in 
 Extinction Rebellion’s four demands: government must declare a climate a
 nd ecological emergency\, government must halt biodiversity loss and reduc
 e greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025\, government must be led by
  the decisions of a Citizens’ Assembly on climate and ecological justice
 \, and we must prioritize the most vulnerable people to create a livable p
 lanet for all.\n​\n**Hosts:**\n​\nMatthew Kearney is an active member 
 of Extinction Rebellion's Boston chapter and the Northeast Region. His B.A
 . is in English and his Ph.D. is in Sociology. He is the author of The Soc
 ial Order of Collective Action: The Wisconsin \nUprising of 2011 about the
  massive protest defending labor rights that pre-figured the Occupy Moveme
 nt\, showing how organizing outside of formal structures can produce massi
 ve mobilizations. His writing has appeared in The Progressive and several 
 academic journals\, and been translated into German and Chinese. He has ta
 ught at Harvard University\, Emerson College\, and the University of Wisco
 nsin-Madison.\n​\n\nAlycee Lane is an activist with XR SFBay and author 
 of the award-winning book\, Nonviolence Now! Living the 1963 Birmingham Ca
 mpaign's Promise of Peace(Lantern Books\, 2015). She is also host and crea
 tor of the Patreon podcast The Wretched of Mother Earth\, where she “dec
 olonizes our climate catastrophe.” Her podcast takes its name from her m
 ost recent book The Wretched of Mother Earth: The Handbook for Living\, Dy
 ing\, and Nonviolent Revolution in the Midst of Climate Change Catastrophe
  (2018). In that work\, Alycee argues that “if we hope to save ourselves
  from climate change catastrophe\, we must face not only the prospect of h
 uman extinction\; but also we must radically confront what produced the cl
 imate crisis in the first place: the “colonial power matrix” and our d
 eadly attachments to it.”\n​\n\nYou can find her articles on our clima
 te crisis in Counterpunch\, Truthout\, and Common Dreams magazines. A grad
 uate of Howard University\, Alycee studied English literature and later ob
 tained her Doctorate of Philosophy from UCLA\, where she specialized in Af

 movements. From 1995 to 2003\, she served as an Assistant Professor of Eng
 lish at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, after which she obt
 ained her Juris Doctor from UC Berkeley (Boalt Hall).
