MODELS OF DIVERSITY: LIVE FROM LONDON
Models of Diversity advocates for more diversity in models, and demands that the fashion and marketing industries recognise the beauty in women of all races, ages, shapes, sizes, and abilities. Their mission is to change the face of fashion and modelling. They sponsor modelling workshops for people with disabilities, campaign against the tragic effects of the size zero culture, and fight inequality in the representation of real men and women. MOD looks at catwalk shows, the advertising culture, and model "glossies," and rarely do they see a true representation of real people. Join us to discuss the issues on March 29th at 11:00 AM Pacific Standard Time.
Angel Sinclair, the founder of Models of Diversity and Sinclair Model Management, is a former model herself; she started the campaign after appearing on Gok's Miss Naked Beauty in 2008. Angel was struck by the great variety of beautiful women participating in the event and how that contrasted with the narrow range we see in the fashion industry. That's when she decided, with Sally Williams, her co-founder, to promote the use of models that reflects diversity in society, in terms of race, shape, age, and ability. Join us for the Body Politic Interview with MOD's special envoy, Bonnie Lock, on March 29th who will discuss MODs Advocacy initiatives for all types of models internationally.

EMISSIONS TRADING: WHO WILL BENEFIT?
Journalist, Suzanne Marcus Fletcher, interviews three special guests, Reporter, Madeline Ostrander, a freelance journalist, contributor to The Nation magazine, and senior editor of YES! Magazine, where she covers climate change and the environment. Ostrander received a grant from the Fund for Investigative Journalism to report on how California’s greenhouse-gas regulations will affect people living near big polluters like oil refineries, and recently wrote an investigative piece for The Nation which we will be discussing, called “Will California’s Cap and Trade be Fair?” Fletcher’s guest, Alicia Rivera, is an organizer and activist from Communities for a Better Environment (CBE), one of the preeminent environmental justice organizations in the nation, who will be discussing California’s pioneering, if controversial, cap-and-trade emissions program. Bill Gallegos, Executive Director of CBE, will be joining the conversation for a critique of the AB 32 scheme currently playing-out in California's Big Oil political machinery.
