Aimee Allison, the Founder and President of She the People, the nation's leading organization dedicated to an America redefined and inspired by women of color, discusses a new poll of women of color, conducted by She the People, in collaboration with The 2040 Strategy Group. The poll found Harris should actually LEAN into her identity, as it motivates this group of voters. It also uncovers the key issues important to women of color, and delves into what will move undecided voters from this group in Harris's direction.

Aimee Allison, Founder of She the People, joined us to talk about the Kamala Harris presidential nomination and the increased and increasing role of women of color in U.S. key positions of political power. We spoke of political organizer, Georgia's Stacey Abrams, as well as the defeat of squad members Cori Bush in a Missouri primary and Jamaal Bowman in Queens, and the significant role of AIPAC in both losses. We discussed Trump's response to Black journalists which Allison described as "deeply racist" and, she added, it "made him look like an idiot." We focused on voting in Georgia and also in Rwanda, where 60% of women make up government representation as well as discussing how patriarchy is baked into the American political system. Allison posited that America's time to shift from patriarchy has come –women leaders of color, like Kamala Harris, are here and are ready to assume and hold positions of power. She praised the choice by Vice President Harris of Tim Walz of Minnesota as her running mate and took the position that many of the negative characterizations of Vice President Harris have emerged from racist tropes and misogyny. She then addressed ways to make Black girls our next leaders and spoke of Shirley Chisholm's extraordinary influence on her and other young women of color and her experiences as a young woman in the military who eventually applied for conscientious objector status. We then took up the question of breaking chains and making things better for generations to come. Emphasizing the necessity of remembering a powerful tradition, Allison said, "Remember Sojourner Truth and the godmothers who came before us and opened up spaces with love." She concluded by speaking of the need for humane immigration reform, which she hoped would emerge under Kamala Harris's leadership and a new political era which she believes November's election in the U.S. can bring.

As we've been reporting, California is about to have a new US Senator, even as the state continues to mourn the late Dianne Feinstein, who died Friday at age 90. Governor Newsom made a surprise pick to finish Feinstein's term in the Senate, appointing longtime labor leader and campaign strategist Laphonza Butler to the seat. Laphonza Butler was a powerful union leader for years in California before joining the political consulting firm that has run campaigns for Governor Newsom, Kamala Harris and many of the state's most elite Democrats. Then she left to work at Airbnb before becoming the head of Emily's List, the organization based in Washington DC that recruits women for office and focuses on electing women who support abortion rights. She moved to Maryland two years ago to take that job, but still owns her home in Southern California and will re-establish residency in California so she can represent the state in the Senate. She could be sworn in as soon as tomorrow, when the Senate returns to session. She will be the only Black woman in the Senate, just the third in its history, the first openly gay Senator from California and the first openly LGBTQ Black person in the history of the Congress, both Senate and House.  For more, Doug Sovern, Patti Reising and Brett Burkhart spoke with Aimee Allison of Oakland, founder and president of She The People, an organization somewhat like Emily's List in that it works to elevate women of color to political power. 

The jockeying for position continues in the race to succeed DianneFeinstein in the U.S. Senate, even though Feinstein still hasn't said if she will runfor another term. The bombshell endorsement last week of Adam Schiff by formerSpeaker Nancy Pelosi is still reverberating through the campaign. Orange County Congresswoman Katie Porter got off to a hot start bydeclaring her candidacy first and quickly flexing her fundraising muscles, butSchiff jumped in the race soon after and showed he too, can raise plenty ofmoney, and then threw everyone for a loop by scoring the very earlyendorsement of Speaker Emerita Pelosi. Probably the biggest endorsement youcan get in this race, except perhaps for that of Feinstein herself. So where doesthis leave Oakland Congresswoman Barbara Lee, who also plans to enter thisrace? For more, KCBS Radio's Doug Sovern, Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart spoke to Aimee Allison, founder and president of She The People, the national organization,launched in Oakland, to elevate women of color in politics.

For many students, entering college is a rite of passage that resembles hope and excitement. But for many others - especially students of underrepresented communities - this experience is often one riddled with anxiety and worries. Young people have to face big challenges: figuring out how to meet the financial obligations that come with their education, and learning to navigate new spaces often without help or representation. In this final episode of Season Two, we meet two guests that have defied all odds in their educational journey and in turn, have become action leaders in their communities - Aimee Allison and Cheyenne Chandler. Aimee is a writer, democratic organizer, founder and president of “She The People,” an organization dedicated to increasing voter engagement of women of color. After beginning her career in the military, she explains how she made a difficult decision that led her to support some of the biggest political campaigns of the last few years. Then, hear from Cheyenne Chandler, a recent graduate from the University of Kentucky who didn't crack under immense personal and financial pressures during her studies. Instead, she shares how she was able to use her experiences as a catalyst to fuel her passions, and how she leveraged her university's resources to help her achieve her goals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In POTUS, Jean (1 of the 7 women trying to keep a great dumbass alive) is the president's press secretary meaning she knows all about the power of shaping a story. In this talk, Andrea Ambam sits down with Suzy Nakamura (the actress who plays Jean), Aimee Allison (President of She The People), and Maya Contreras (Political Narrative Strategist and Former Democratic Congressional Candidate), to explore how reshaping the cultural narrative can support the on-the-ground effort for more women of color in politics -  using the events of POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying To Keep Him Alive as a launching point.

It's a family reunion! Aimee Allison, founder of She the People and Democracy in Color's former president (and original founder and host of this podcast), returns to reminisce and reflect with Steve and Sharline. Aimee shares how She the People—a national network of women of color dedicated to transforming our country's democracy and elevating the political voice and leadership of women of color—has been strategizing with women of color candidates this midterm election cycle. She reminds us that Democrats cannot win without women of color, who make up 20% of our nation's population. Steve, Sharline, and Aimee discuss Biden's historic nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson as our nation's first Black woman Supreme Court justice and its significance during this year's Women's History Month.

Dubbed the social justice manifesto, Until I Am Free, by author Keisha N. Blain, is a unique opportunity to hear about life from the perspective of a working, impoverished and disabled Black woman. Blain, an award-winning historian, details the life and accomplishments of Fannie Lou Hamer, a civil rights activist too often forgotten in the narrative of racial justice. Defying the layers of marginalization that threatened to hush her powerful words, Hamer is held by Blain in the same esteem as her contemporaries Rosa Parks and MLK. Through Blain, Hamer's message is given new life in an age where the same issues remain pertinent. At INFORUM Blain will peel back the layers of Fannie Lou Hamer—layers that ostensibly would have taken power away from her but instead became the very source from which she drew it. This conversation will be moderated by Aimee Allison, founder and president of She the People. SPEAKERS Keisha N.

Although President Joe Biden ultimately won the presidential race, the question remains: Why didn't Democrats do as well as had been expected? Taking lessons from 2020, what could Democrats do to strengthen their hold in Congress in the next election cycle? What strategies might they implement to counter persuasive GOP messaging? Guests: Marcela Mulholland is the political director at Data for Progress. Aimee Allison is the founder of She the People. 

While America was fighting fragmentation, Aimee Allison saw the potential in the big picture. This episode gets deep with the founder of She the People, who ignited under-represented and under-empowered women of color to run for office and get out the vote. Aimee was a pivotal force behind the election of our first woman Vice President — she harnessed the strength of her community to swing the country towards fairness. If you need a little hope, this is the episode for you.Learn more at https://www.bringafriendpodcast.com/Parlay with us at https://parlayhouse.com/

At the time of this episode’s release, we are at a crossroads in the United States. This election of 2020 is one of the most important in our history. As activist Michael Skolnik says, the election is not 7 days away. The election is now.  What can we do in our last few days before the conclusion of the election of 2020? Like so many of you, I am asking myself what matters most and what I can do that can have an impact in these 7 days. When I feel myself swirling, I remember I don’t have to figure this out alone. So, I reached out to you, fellow mothers and grandmothers, many of you activists, and asked for your words of wisdom.  Ahead, I have 7 pieces of advice, reflections or calls to action, that we can all connect to for guidance and inspiration each day ahead. This is an election minisode...because I wanted these to be bite-sized and easy to digest. Please join me in taking these words in, taking action, and paying the messages forward to other mothers in your network.  I hope this minisode has you, as it does me, ready to dig in, to connect to community, to engage in multiple ways, to vote for our children, to remember why this matters, to get the vote out with women of color and make sure their votes count, and to mother like an organizer. Together, we can do this! #momthevote #votelikeamother #momsrisingThank you to Jen Jenkins Dohner for the beautiful “VOTE” podcast art. Find her work, Postcards for Progress here.

For far too long, women of color have been overlooked and underrepresented in U.S. politics. In this episode of Tilted, we talk to two women fighting tirelessly to change that—for the 2020 election and beyond. First, you’ll hear from Aimee Allison, the founder of She the People, about how she is building one of the country’s most influential political networks for women of color. Then, you'll hear from Lorella Praeli, who leads the political advocacy group Community Change. Lorella first jumped into politics to fight for the rights of undocumented students like herself, and then mobilized the Latinx vote for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign. Both of these women are courageous leaders challenging the status quo to build a much fairer, more equal political system for all of us. Tune in and find out how you can, too.More about our guests:Aimee Allison is founder and president of She the People, a national network elevating the voice and power of women of color.

Aimee Allison, Founder and President of She the People discusses the upcoming election, the strategies in getting people out to vote and women of color running in historic numbers. Hosted by Carol Jenkins

Hello and welcome to a very different episode on the Mother’s Quest Podcast.  Michael Skolnik, who is a political activist and friend of mine, has been sharing a series of posts on Instagram that call me to action every time I see them. The last one I saw a few days ago said this: “The election is not 30 days away. The election is over in 30 days. The election is now. Vote early.”  Like so many of you, I’ve been asking myself if I understand that the election is now...what can I be doing to impact the election now? One thing I know I have is this platform and the Mother’s Quest Community. So, I’m committed to sharing a series of episodes to shine light on the importance of this election and what we can do about it. Last week I released a conversation I hope you’ll tune into with Paola Mendoza and Abby Sher about their powerful new book, Sanctuary, and the impact of this election on undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers.  In this episode, with the permission of How Women Lead’s Julie Abrams, I’m honored to share a powerful conversation I heard live this week featuring Emerge, Women’s Donor Network and UCSF’s Dr. Gretchen Sisson and She the People’s Aimee Allison. They both share their strategic advice for where our political giving can have the most impact right now. Unfortunately the recording didn’t begin until a few minutes in...so you’ll have to jump right in mid-stream. Be sure to connect to the link with the slides in the show notes which will help you make sense of Gretchen’s fast, furious and in-depth presentation.  After listening, I hope you’ll consider joining me in making a political contribution, informed by Gretchen and Aimee’s analysis. And consider paying this episode forward to another woman in your network.  In How Women Lead’s words, “This year marks the centennial of women’s right to vote. We must take action to elect leadership we can proudly call our own, who understand the issues we face daily and design policies that ensure our rights.”  I hope this conversation helps us all to do this together.   Much appreciation, Julie Neale P.S. Know someone who would love this conversation? Pay this forward to a friend who may be interested.   -------------------------- Political Fundraising - Demystifying the Process & Making an Impact in 2020 Originally Aired on October 6, 2020, Presented by How Women Lead The impact of women on the 2020 election: Where will my political giving have the greatest impact? What women candidates should I back?  Where is my volunteer time best spent? What organizations are impacting the political systems where I can donate? “Our collective impact is our greatest strength: learning from each other and banding together to act!” This year has tested our limits and fortitude in every way. It has highlighted the flaws in the social and economic culture in our country. While we seem more divided than ever before, I have seen our sisters come together to lift one another up, hold each other’s hands, and stand strong against challenges. YOU give me hope. Amidst a racial reckoning, gender divide, climate crisis and a global pandemic, we’re arguable facing the most consequential election of our time and women stand to lose the most. The loss of RBG has put an added responsibility on each of us to put up a good fight for everything that we hold dear.  This year marks the centennial of women’s right to vote. Yet, shocking even this right has been put up for debate. We must take action to elect leadership we can proudly call our own, who understand the issues we face daily and design policies that ensure our rights.  “Women’s active participation in politics is not only a human right but also a key to sustainable development and a thriving democracy.”  We held a Virtual Vigil for RBG last week and were touched by the fire in each of you. We need to keep that fire going and show up stronger than before.  44% of large dollar donors for federal campaigns in 2020 are women, up from 24% in 1990 Resources from this Episode: “No Regrets” Guide to Taking Effective Action in the 2020 Election Slide Presentation for Political Fundraising - Demystifying the Process & Making an Impact in 2020 by Gretchen Sisson Please sign up here to join She the People's virtual text bank this Sunday (Oct 11) to get out the vote in battleground states: http://act.democracyforamerica.com/survey/Text2PAV201011/ Anyone can join regardless of age or citizenship She the People will provide all the information and script you need  Here are a few resources that were shared by participants: Latino Voter Guide Forecasting the US election ActBlue MoveOn Daniel's Guide to Taking Action in 2020 Announcements: Ep 78: An Urgent Warning with Sanctuary’s Co-Authors Paola Mendoza and Abby Sher I first interviewed Paola after the Women’s March of 2016, personally still shell-shocked by the election of Trump and searching to find my own voice of resistance and path to activism. Since then, she has continued to be at the forefront of social change, especially when it comes to the issue of immigration, as she has organized, demonstrated, documented stories while travelling with the Caravan and now co-written a young adult novel that is both a cautionary tale and story of hope, Sanctuary. Hope and faith run through this conversation I have with Paola and Abby just as it runs through the poignant book they co-created, a story that paints a harrowing picture of a dystopian future, an America in 2032 that microchips its citizens to easily identify and capture undocumented immigrants. It’s also a book that illuminates resilience, strength, and the power of love. I hope you’ll listen with an open heart as Paola and Abby share about the teenage protagonist Vali who becomes a freedom fighter, the mother who sets Vali on her quest, how storytelling builds compassion and calls us to action, and how you and I can spread this story far and wide and organize for the upcoming election. In doing so, we can shape a hopeful future and help make possible freedom and sanctuary for undocumented immigrants like Vali, like the families whose stories Paola has documented, like the mothers in Matamoros, and like our own neighbors, who help our communities in essential ways.

Chip Bergh doesn’t know what the future holds, but he's certain it includes people wearing jeans. The CEO of Levi Strauss & Co says even when much of the world was on lockdown in April, 50 percent of us were still wearing jeans. That’s not to say this has been an easy time for the company. It’s lost a lot of money, and been forced to lay off hundreds of employees. But online sales are growing fast and Bergh tells Leadership Next that by closely tracking what consumers want, Levi’s will emerge intact from the coronavirus pandemic.    For Bergh, responding to consumers means more than just selling them denim. It also means using Levi’s corporate muscle to support issues consumers - and employees - care about. Gun control is a key example.  He explains how the company entered the debate around guns, and why it has continued to push for more restrictions on who can own them.  In this episode Bergh also tells Alan Murray and Ellen McGirt about the ‘Time to Vote’ initiative, urging companies to give employees paid time off to vote.  Additionally, the Levi Strauss Foundation is giving over a million dollars to organizations to promote get-out-the-vote efforts. Ellen catches up with the founder of one of these groups – Aimee Allison from She the People.

Our #WomenThoughtLeaders series continues with an interview with Aimee Allison, founder of She The People. She argues that to win elections, Democrats must center women of color as they lead a diverse, inclusive coalition.

When it comes to elections there’s always a key voting bloc that gets the media attention. If candidate X wins the FILL IN THE BLANK they’ll win the election. Over the past few years, we’ve heard a lot about the Latino vote. The white working class vote. The suburban women vote. But a core constituency of the Democratic electorate, since Barack Obama was elected has not gotten the same level of attention: African Americans. Will this change before 2020? According to the strategists we talked to, if Democrats want to win back the White House, it better. Guests: Alicia Garza, a founder of the Black Lives Matter Global Network, and the head of the Black Futures Lab Bakari Sellers, former South Carolina state representative and a CNN contributor Thelisha Eaddy, South Carolina Public Radio reporter Theodore  R. Johnson, Senior Fellow at the Brennan Center Aimee Allison, founder of She the People

I speak with Aimee Allison, founder of She the People about the successful presidential forum for Democratic candidates. I also speak with Revs. Gary Williams ands Willard Bass about their innovative project to address food insecurity in Winston Salem.

Joe Biden officially announced that he is running for the nation's top job on Thursday. As candidate number 20, he is entering a historically crowded race. Does he have what it takes to stand out from the pack?  We check in with two campaign reporters, Juana Summers from The Associated Press, and Annie Linskey from The Washington Post, who tell us about what voters seem to be looking for when trying to choose between the candidates.  For our Biden digest, we turn to Mike Memoli, of NBC News, who has been following Biden's career on the national stage for over a decade. He explains what he thinks we can expect from Biden’s third attempt to reach the highest office. Borys Krawczeniuk, of the Scranton Times-Tribune, gives us the view from Biden's hometown. And Aimee Allison, the founder of the political group She the People, says he has some serious obstacles to overcome if he wants to do well with black women voters.  Plus, Bloomberg's Joshua Green has been out on the campaign trail trying to gauge where voters stand on the issue of impeachment. His verdict? They are pretty ambivalent.  Amy's Final Take: After the  2016 election, the  media was criticized for spending too much time in D.C. absorbed in our Twitter bubbles. Voters were telling us the story of the election, but we weren’t listening to it. Three years later, the Washington, D.C. and Twitter echo chambers are obsessed with talk of "impeachment" and "Russia" yet that’s not what voters or presidential candidates are talking about out in the states.   My sense, from listening to voters and to the reporters who are on the ground covering them, is that Democratic voters are more pragmatic than prescriptive. The grassroots demand for Congress to start impeachment just doesn't seem to be there. Now, should Trump win re-election, I'd expect that pragmatism to give way to all out panic and push-back. That may change, but for now, we should take the lessons of 2016 to heart and stop trying to make the narrative fit neatly into a box we have already pre-built. The race for 2020 has a LONG way to go. The best way to understand where it’s headed is to watch it unfold at its own pace, not the one being set by cable TV.

A little over eight years ago the first Tea Party protests erupted urging Congress to repeal a stimulus package. The protests targeted big government, taxes, and government bailouts. Since then, our country has seen the Occupy movement, the Black Lives Matter movement, armed protesters at an Oregon wildlife refuge, prolonged protests at the proposed site of the Dakota Access Pipeline, and this January's Women’s March on Washington. As Americans, protesting is in our DNA. Resistance is woven into the fabric of our democracy on all sides, some peaceful and some not. How has this disruptive nature helped to shape our republic? How has our propensity to protest shaped democracy, discourse, and our American identity? On this episode of Indivisible, host Kerri Miller talks with Aimee Allison, co-director of Democracy in Color, and musician Chastity Brown about protest movements and what our collective urge to stand up and speak out has done to our democracy.
