Fifteen years after putting the civic in civic tech, Code for America is pivoting to come alongside local governments to take on the challenges they face today — bringing collaborative expertise to the use of AI in the public sector and defending gains made through diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs in government.amanda.jpgThe organization made its name by helping government better use (and often liberate or democratize) the data it holds and developing citizen apps through early hackathons, and making a network of volunteer developers available to public agencies that could not marshal those resources by themselves.Amanda Renteria, CEO of Code for America, joins the podcast this episode to talk about the organization's mission, track record and what comes next. SHOW NOTES Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode: Diverse Collaboration and Problem Solving: Code for America remains focused on the collaborative efforts of individuals from various backgrounds, including government, technology and nonprofit sectors. Renteria emphasizes the importance of leveraging diverse talents to address societal challenges, and the positive correlation between the evolution of Code for America and effective governance. Growth and Evolution of Civic Tech: The interview traces the rise of civic technology, from early hackathons to its integration into mainstream digital government initiatives. Code for America has been a catalyst in making government better, particularly during crises like COVID-19, and continues to shape its future through partnerships and innovation. Measuring Impact and Systems Change: The organization initially measured success by volunteer participation and project outcomes but has since shifted toward evaluating systemic changes. For example, proactive government behavior, such as Louisiana's response to disaster relief, is now a key indicator of success, showing a broader impact on governance. The interview highlights ongoing initiatives like Direct File for tax filing, integrated benefits systems in states like Minnesota and efforts to improve child-care services. Ethics and AI in Government: The role of AI in government is a critical concern. Code for America prioritizes transparency, ethical use of data and addressing biases in AI systems. Its AI Studio aims to educate government officials on how to use AI responsibly, ensuring that it serves people fairly and equitably, while keeping ethical considerations at the forefront. Pushing Back Against Bug Tech's DEI Pullback: Renteria expresses disappointment about the decline of tech industry programs focused on diversity, equity and inclusion. She acknowledges that some large tech companies, like Google, Meta and Lyft, have backed away from their DEI efforts, which she finds disheartening. However, she also emphasizes a deeper sense of responsibility to continue working toward equity and inclusion, regardless of the political or industry climate. Amanda notes that while the term "equity" has become politically charged, she believes most people still want a government that works for everyone. She says Code for America remains committed to ensuring government services are inclusive, even if the term “equity” itself falls out of favor.

Reform advocates are full of good intentions and worthy goals— from ending hunger to improving access to healthcare and limiting the impacts of climate change. But good intentions are not the same as good results. The efficient delivery of services is important for all citizens. In this episode, we look at how to design technology that makes the government smarter, much more efficient, and even friendlier.Amanda Renteria is CEO of Code for America, a non-profit group that uses coding and other forms of tech expertise to ensure the delivery of equitable digital tools and services. Amanda grew up in California's Central Valley, the daughter of Latino farm workers. She spent years in public service, as former National Political Director for Hillary Clinton, chief of staff for two Democratic Senators, and chief of operations for California's Attorney General. "Nearly $60 billion in government services go unclaimed each year by people who are eligible," says Amanda. "We often talk about technology in terms of making things faster and easier but the first thing is to treat people with dignity... We try to create a welcoming front door. "In our discussion, we go under the hood to examine Code for America's work to improve government delivery of services to those who need it most— from food, income, and housing assistance to help with filling out taxes or getting something as simple as a new driver's license. Recommendation: Both Richard and Jim enjoy games and puzzles, including Wordle and Guesstures. They're a lot of fun!Note:We are doing something special with our Patreon fundraising account, where we ask listeners for support.

Raised in a farmworking family, Amanda Renteria has worked for Goldman Sachs, the City of San Jose, and two senators; has been a teacher and coach at her old high school; has run for Congress; held a top position in Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign; directed operations for the California Department of Justice and this year, ran for Governor of California. Through it all, she’s been focused on just how you get good things done: trying to bridge the private sector’s focus on results with the public sector’s commitment to the common good. Along the way, she’s learned a lot about what works, and what doesn’t. She has the insights to show — many of them arising from her own life story — as you’ll hear in this interview with Dastardly Cleverness host Spencer Critchley. Find more at the episode page.

Former Chief of Operations for the California Department of Justice and current gubernatorial candidate Amanda Renteria speaks with California Community Colleges Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley about issues critical to higher education in our state. Third episode in a series with candidates for governor. Transcript: http://californiacommunitycolleges.cccco.edu/Portals/0/AudioGallery/podcast-transcripts/podcast-transcript-11.pdf

There is an unprecedented surge of first-time female candidates, running for political office nationwide in Election Year 2018. But here in California, the bluest state of them all, women candidates are still hitting a wall. Women account for only 26 of the 120 state legislators -- and they actually lost seats in the past two elections. In a round of caucus meetings back in January, Democratic Party activists in three competitive Southern California House races overlooked EMILY’s List-endorsed candidates and threw their support, by wide margins, to men. Even after the #MeToo movement, female candidates in California are still forced to contend with lots of disadvantages — fewer political connections, competitors with higher profiles, a lack of desire for bare-knuckle politics, and supporters unaccustomed to writing women large checks. But the 2016 election has energized women in unprecedented numbers to step up to run - what will the results be in 2018? We met at Arcade Underground in Old Sacramento to talk with two women running for political office, and two women who recruit and train novice candidates. They explained the upsides and challenges for women candidates running in California, what has changed for better and for worse after Election 2016, and what they predict will happen in this current election year.

Title: De Beers’ Colonial Plunder in Attawapiskat Article Author: Jay Watts, Rebel Youth, Date: April 15, 2016 Source: Warrior Publications Summary: Attawapiskat are not simply a generalized response to decades and decades of Canadian colonialism – the specifics of it in Attawapiskat are damning, too… Attawapiskat is 90km from the open-pit Victor Diamond Mine, where multinational diamond company De Beers, founded by the British imperialist and white supremacist Cecil Rhodes, has managed to work out an astonishingly preferential agreement to plunder the resource wealth of the Attawapiskat First Nation with the complicity of the Ontario and Canadian governments. The mine itself is on lands taken from Attawapiskat First Nation through an extension of Treaty 9 in 1930.

Title: Hillary Clinton staff apologize after she offended Native Americans with 'off the reservation' comment as Trump claims statement is 'demeaning to men’ Article Author: ANTON NILSSON Date: May 1st, 2016 Source: The Daily Mail Summary: Hillary Clinton's staff have apologized for their boss after the presidential hopeful was lambasted by Native American groups for saying Donald Trump had gone 'off the reservation' Friday. After being asked about Trump's offensive comments, Clinton said: “I have a lot of experience dealing with men who sometimes get off the reservation in the way they behave and how they speak.” That remark, made to CNN's Jake Tapper, kicked off a firestorm that led to an apology by Amanda Renteria, Clinton's national political director.

Title: 132 Elem Pomo Indians, Comprising 100 Percent Of Elem Indian Colony Residents, Face Banishment And Disenrollment Date: May 3rd, 2016 Source: Indian Country Today Media Network (ICTMN) Summary: [NOTE: This information comes from a press release distributed by 30 disenrolled Elem Indian Colony tribal members.] 132 Elem Pomo Indians, are being exiled from the 52-acre Elem Indian Colony under the guise of “dis-enrollment” and “banishment” by a faction of off-Colony members. Those 132 Pomos comprise 100 percent of Colony residents, who, if jettisoned, would leave an empty Reservation. Despite dis-enrollment and banishment becoming widespread, especially in California, it would be unprecedented for a tribe’s entire residency to be exiled.

Your emotions, your pain, your muscles going to work, stress of any sort, there are dedicated respiration patterns that go off the moment those are happening on an autonomic level.” My favorite guest/person, Mia Moore ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2019/04/02/mia2/ ) : * *“You have to make a conscious choice* *not* *to sweat the small stuff.* That’s not easy.” * “When someone’s venting, you don’t want to hear [the other person] tell you what to do...they’re probably already figured it out. They probably just want someone to hear them vent.” Dr. Elisha Goldstein ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2018/09/13/dr-elisha-goldstein-mindfulness-in-the-age-of-distractibility-and-hyper-connectivity/ ) : * It’s important to learn how to actively relax your nervous system: “If your body is bracing, the first step is to actively soften your body.” Mark Sisson ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2020/05/05/mark-sisson-2-learning-to-pivot-gracefully-through-life/ ) : * A calculated risk is still a risk. Dr. Wendy Walsh ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2018/10/02/wendywalsh/ ) : * “When the man makes less than the woman, he is far more likely to cheat.” Amanda Renteria ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2018/10/12/amandarenteria/ ) : * “We’ve got to start changing this image of leadership.” Gitta Sivander ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2018/12/21/sivander2/ ) : * *“Being able to be authentic, and being able to be present, will allow for us to be more confident.”* * “How can we be responsible for ourselves as adults if we don’t learn to be responsible for ourselves as children? We need to learn that from early on.” Ben Greenfield ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2020/04/28/ben-greenfield-your-boundless-potential-for-happiness-and-longevity ) : * “Taking a step back and looking at this bigger picture of *enjoying the entire experience of eating* - I think it would benefit everyone to focus on that, rather than get into the nitpicking.” Martin Brauns ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2018/12/05/martinbrauns/ ) : * *“Make sure you check your own intentions.”* * “Look for the folks who get the results done, but through non-heroic, well planned and paced, thoughtful work.” Dave Kobrine ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2018/11/06/davekobrine-2/ ) : * *“It’s not using willpower* , *it’s about habit.* And habits you just do automatically.” * “If you’re not in control of what you feel and what you say, then somebody else - and that somebody else is your fear mechanism - this big part of your brain that reacts for you.” Enjoy the show, and stay tuned for part 2! *TIMESTAMPS:* First guest, Peter Attia, emphasizes the simplicity of the basic needs for a healthy lifestyle: nutrition, exercise, sleep.  [01:27] Elle Russ talks about her comeback from a serious arm injury.  [05:33] Brian MacKenzie talks about the interconnectivity of the brain and respiration.

One evening prior to 2018 election day, I discover an intriguing YouTube video from an unlikely candidate for the Governorship of the great nation of California. A couple weeks later, after a longshot email solicitation to her campaign office, I find myself chilling in the Silicon Valley home of the remarkable Amanda Renteria. We hit it off immediately, discussing Mexico’s chances in the World Cup (not great, as it turned out when they got stuck with Brazil in the first knockout round), and then onto more important matters such as the importance of giving the people a real voice in the political process. Through hard work and determination, this child of a former immigrant farm workers in California’s central valley found her way to Stanford University, then Harvard Business School, then into a fast rising political career where she became the first Latina Chief of Staff in the history of the US Senate, then National Political Director for the Clinton Presidential Campaign, then taking a crisp 7th place in the California governor’s race against the behemoth candidates of big politics. In her spare time, Amanda became a two-sport varsity athlete at Stanford (walking on, literally with the wrong shoes, to the defending NCAA champion women’s basketball team! Then earning a scholarship in another sport!), ran the State of California Department of Justice (they wanted her so bad they said she could telecommute to oversee her 1,000 member staff!). She also did some time at Goldman Sachs to pay off student loans, taught high school back in her hometown, and is raising a couple little children. Uh, how about you? Whatcha been up to the past couple decades since college? WOW! Yes indeed, you might call Amanda a true peak performer, o en Español: chingóna. This is a great conversation that will inspire you and awaken you to the power of dreams, resolve, fearlessness, and hard work and all that cool stuff we talk about but rarely get to experience personified.
