The City Council's committee on Immigrant and Refugee Rights is slated to meet this morning — the same committee that failed to meet for over a year even as the city scrambled to house thousands of arriving migrants and asylum-seekers. Now, it has a new chair: Ald. Andre Vasquez of the 40th Ward. Vasquez sits down with host Jacoby Cochran to talk about how the crisis has affected his North Side ward, what's on the agenda for today's meeting, and how Chicago can actually become a “welcoming city” for immigrants. Chicago had the worst air quality in the world yesterday, and the city is still expecting to see haziness today.

Leading with growth mindset takes a certain amount of willingness to be vulnerable. Why? Because it means you own your mistakes. This isn't easy in a society dominated by fixed mindset, which feeds the idea that if you make a mistake then you ARE a mistake. Fixed mindset leads to constantly trying to prove good enough because of a believe that we are born a certain way and cannot change. Thus, everything is an indication of our inherent being. Growth mindset is a belief that you can cultivate qualities. It feeds the idea that mistakes are opportunities because you can always learn to do better. Many current leadership trainings emphasize growth mindset and the term has become a bit of a buzz word but what it look like in a leader?In this episode of Unlimited, the podcast, I invited Andre Vasquez, Alderperson of the 40th Ward in Chicago to join me in a conversation that emphasizes what it looks like to lead with growth mindset in life and government.Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:Owning your mistakes and making living amendsAuthentically and imperfectly showing upNormalizing self-doubtPlaying to your strengthsOwning your present momentBeing an activist outside and then inside the systemThank you for listening!If you enjoyed this episode, please share it!

In the midst of the unpredictability that has come with the COVID-19 pandemic, at least one thing has become quite true: many of the world’s cities desperately need more space.   What kind of space are we talking about? Not necessarily private space, like a backyard, but a repurposing of existing public space away from only movement through a place and into being in place, safely outdoors. We have a serious deficit of quality, inspiring, safe public space and this has become a huge liability to the health and wellbeing of city residents.   When common private spaces are all closed and you don’t have a park you can easily walk to, where do you go to read a book, get some sun, talk to a friend?   My guest Andre Vasquez, alderman (councilor in other cities) of the 40th ward in Chicago, speaks with me and special guest host Anni Metz about this topic. The 40th ward has a project proposal to convert part of Catalpa street into a pedestrian space, beginning to heal the void left by two big box store car parking lots on either side.   This is the kind of space cities around the world need to create a vision of - bringing enjoyable, safe public space easily walked to for all neighborhoods. Our very lives may depend on these spaces coming into existence immediately.   Follow Andre on Twitter and his alderman-specific Twitter handle   Follow Anni on Twitter and subscribe to her podcast: House Warming Podcast Brought to you by SquadCast and post-production by Creekmore Music.

  WWBSD #68, recorded 12/29/16. Do we have the power to head off Trump's agenda and push ahead with our own? Executive Director of Chicago Progress Andre Vasquez says we do, but not just through posting on social media. If we sit back while "our" party's administration is infiltrated by Goldman Sachs and the rest of Wall Street, and dismiss Hillary's financial industry entanglements, we can't be shocked when the Republican president-elect does essentially the same thing. Trump's cabinet is a natural extension of how Republicans and Democrats alike have been populating positions of influence in our government.   Neoliberal or real liberal, we have the power to heal the Democratic party from the ground up. We can help Keith Ellison become head of the DNC, the first major post-election indicator as to which way the Democratic Party is headed. We can avert and dispel corporate and party media's brainwashing, which includes such messages as "It's not Free Trade, it's automation!" Um, actually, automation has taken a smaller bite than they'd have you believe.     There's much to do! Stay awake and keep the sunglasses on, and educate and empower your fellow Americans!

Recorded September 5, 2016. Why do our Democratic leaders speak out only AFTER the fact, whether it's EpiPens or pipelines? After Mylan raised the price of the EpiPen some 300% over 7 years, Hillary Clinton expressed outrage over their greed....on the campaign trail, of course. Darren and Dr. K. express outrage over Mylan's intermingling with the Democratic party, including its close ties and donations to the Clinton Foundation and its close family connection to Senator Joe Manchin -- "Hi, Dad!" And President Obama visits flood ravaged Louisiana but is conspicuously silent about climate change while his Interior Department auctions off 24 MILLION acres in the Gulf for fossil fuel drilling and exploration. Current Democratic Party leadership and their pragmatic progressivism is endangering our health and our planet. But we DO have the power to change things! Our interview with Andre Vasquez of Chicago Progress offers hope for unifying the progressive movement, starting at the local level. We preview the goals and potential impact of Chicago Progress, and Andre offers hope that through informing and connecting we can let the people know that the power is in their hands to implement change from the bottom up.  And...the WWBSD Podcast will be partnering with Chicago Progress! We'll be doing our part in offering a voice to local progressives regarding issues of concern and covering stories you might not hear about on the evening news. Getting the truth out so we can take action together--now THAT is something that Bernie Sanders would do!  The What Would Bernie Sanders Do Podcast is Dr. Barry Kaufman with Host Darren Stephens and is produced in Chicago by Ruth Kaufman.
