Robert James Scofield, “Be” formerly “BJ” is a San Francisco based activist working to combine spirituality with anti-racism and social justice. He holds a B.A. in Psychology/Philosophy from Warren Wilson College, has done graduate coursework in Postcolonial Anthropology and is currently pursuing a Master's of Divinity at Starr King School for the Ministry in the Unitarian Universalist tradition with an emphasis in women’s studies and counter oppression. He has participated in numerous internships, campaigns and movements for social justice and led groups on white privilege and institutional racism. Be is the producer of “Dr. King: In His Own Words – War, Peace & Poverty” an audio CD with selections from Dr. King's speeches/sermons on war, capitalism, imperialism, nonviolence and economic exploitation. The noted historian Howard Zinn called the cd “Quite wonderful and truly inspiring.” He has been published in Tikkun Magazine, and currently blogs for them.
Be's journey toward spiritual activism began in Immokalee, FL – an immigrant farmworking town 45-min east of his hometown of Naples, Fl. The everyday reality of injustice and poverty in Immokalee awakened him to the need for social change. Over the course of two years he volunteered for a few social services agencies and later with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers. While living in Naples he ran a small recording studio while working in a DJ/music store and attended community college part time. He made electronic dance music under the name “MC2000,” produced four vinyl records and worked with Scott Weiser of Dynamix II and travelled to L.A. to work with Omar Santana.
