In this episode of Passing Judgment, Jessica Levinson welcomes Reuters reporter Joseph Axe to discuss the intensifying battle over redistricting across the country. They examine Texas' unprecedented mid-decade redistricting push, California's proposed response, and the broader trend of overt partisan gerrymandering. The episode delves into what these changes mean for voters, political polarization, and the balance of power in Congress, highlighting how the fight over district lines could have lasting impacts on American democracy.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:What is Redistricting and Why It's Unusually Timely Now: The discussion highlights why redistricting is happening now, outside the normal decade cycle, mainly due to political pressure—specifically, former President Trump urging Texas to redraw its maps to increase Republican representation.The Texas Redistricting Battle: There's a deep dive into recent, unprecedented actions in Texas, where Republicans are seeking to replace a map they themselves passed just four years ago with one even more favorable to their party.Partisan vs. Racial Gerrymandering: Political gerrymandering is drawing lines to benefit a party (now effectively permitted by the Supreme Court), while racial gerrymandering—diluting the voting power of racial minorities—remains illegal, though often overlaps with partisan efforts.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

In this episode of Right to Life Radio, John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller tackle California's redistricting chaos, dubbed "Gavin Mandering".

Chris Melody Fields Figueredo is the executive director of the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, "a nationwide movement-building infrastructure organization that leverages ballot measures across the United States to strengthen democracy; center people of color, queer, low-income, immigrant, Indigenous, and other marginalized communities; advance racial equity; build and transform power; and galvanize a new progressive base." Chris joins host Steve Boland to talk about how nonprofits may consider using ballot initiatives to move their missions forward. Chris discusses tools at both state and local levels, how organizing campaigns can think about longer time-frames, and how "anything beautiful is created in coalition." Chris talks about the extended benefits of campaigns outside the ballot deadline, talking to funders about supporting the work, and more. Additional information and tools are available at the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center website.

Ballot initiatives are one way for voters to get issues that matter to them enshrined in law, especially if lawmakers aren't interested in taking them on in local legislatures. But, efforts in several Republican-led states are trying to make it harder for people to get initiatives on ballots in the first place.

Politics matter because they are the means by which the laws of our country, states, and communities are shaped. And those laws communicate what we value as a society. This November, the issue of life is on the ballot as an initiative in many states where voters will decide on laws related to abortion access. These specific  states include, New York, Maryland, Florida, Missouri, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Montana, Arizona, and Nevada.Joining us today to help us better understand what these initiatives look like at a grassroots level and how they could impact the pro-life movement are Willie Isaacson and Joel Gilbert. Both Willie and Joel come highly recommended within their state conventions and come with years of experience in local and state policy advocacy.Willie Isaacson is senior pastor of First Baptist, Richmond, Missouri where he has served for over 11 years. He currently serves as the chair of the Missouri Baptist Christian Life Commission and president of the Ministerial Alliance in Richmond, Missouri.Joel Gilbert has served in Baptist churches in the D.C. area for over 25 years and currently serves as pastor at Poolesville Baptist Church in Poolesville, Maryland. He also serves on the Christian Life and Public Affairs Committee of the Baptist Convention of Maryland and Delaware.

Today, we're focusing on 10 ballot initiatives that we think exemplify this moment in U.S. politics. In Tangle fashion, we'll give a neutral overview of the measure and what advocates and opponents are saying about it. However, we won't be giving our take — the intent of this piece is to highlight a selection of ballot initiatives that tell a story about the salient issues of this election.

In this week's episode of the Sportsmen's Voice Roundup, Fred is back covering all that's fit to print related to hunting, fishing, and other conservation matters across the nation. Fred begins by reporting that the President and 44 (a new record!) Governors signed proclamations celebrating National Hunting and Fishing Day, citing the contributions of sportsmen and women to conservation efforts across our nation. Fred then shifts to the ongoing opposition campaign against Colorado's Prop 127, which seeks to restrict hunting and predator management. Fred breaks down the Fix Our Forests Act, emphasizing its importance in wildfire management and forest health. We close with some important updates on fall turkey hunting regulation changes, a passionate defense of trapping practices, a proposed sporting dog county ordinance in South Carolina that faced opposition from the sporting community, concerns regarding the U.S. Forest Service's National Old-Growth Amendment, and the announcement of Angi Bruce as the new Director of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.   Takeaways Vote NO On Colorado Proposition 127: Colorado's Prop 127 threatens science-based wildlife management. Protecting Sportsmen's Interests in Ballot Initiatives and Referenda – Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation The Fix Our Forests Act: The Fix Our Forests Act aims to improve forest health and reduce wildfire risks. Wyoming Game And Fish Department Director: Angi Bruce's appointment marks a significant milestone for women in wildlife management.   CSF Protecting Outdoor Pursuits Conservation Raffle: POP4Conservation   Get the FREE Sportsmen's Voice e-publication in your inbox every Monday: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/newsletter

In the FIRST of TWO lead stories on this episode of the Sportsmen's Voice Roundup, Fred catches up with the Speaker of the House, Representative Mike Johnson of Louisiana to discuss the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus as a shining example of bipartisan cooperation and advancing pro sporting legislation, while in a hyper partisan environment. Fred then follows up with CSF Senior Director of Fisheries Policy Chris Horton highlighting bipartisan legislative actions, the impact of proposed vessel speed reduction rules on fishing industries, and the importance of technology in wildlife conservation.   Fred is then joined for a special update on Colorado Prop 127 by Colorado Wildlife Deserve Better Campaign Manager, Mark Truax and CSF's Assistant Manager for the Southwestern States, Barry Snell to discuss the implications of the proposition, the confusion it creates among voters, and the need for effective messaging to engage non-hunters. The crew emphasizes the importance of wildlife management and the role of hunters in conservation, while also addressing the financial aspects of the campaign and the urgency of mobilizing voters ahead of the election.   Takeaways Colorado Proposition 127 Misinformation: Proposition 127 aims to ban mountain lion and bobcat hunting in Colorado. The opposition has invested heavily in media campaigns to sway public opinion, including the inclusion of lynx in the proposition - which is misleading as they are already protected, and polling indicates a close race, necessitating targeted outreach efforts. Protecting Sportsmen's Interests in Ballot Initiatives and Referenda – Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation The ACE Reauthorization Act: This bill is critical for wetlands conservation The Vessel Speed Restriction Rule: This regulation will do drastic harm to the fishing industry, necessitating state legislatures to actively push back against federal rules like it. Arkansas Expansion: The Natural State is expanding hunting opportunities with new seasons.   Home - Wildlife Deserve Better   CSF Protecting Outdoor Pursuits Conservation Raffle: POP4Conservation   Get the FREE Sportsmen's Voice e-publication in your inbox every Monday: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/newsletter

We discuss how ballot measures give voters the opportunity to take power and agency. It is about citizens putting issues that are important to their communities, gathering signatures, and then putting them on the ballot directly to effect policy change.   Her civic action toolkit recommendations are:   1. Voting is the starting line, not the finish line. 2. Hold your elected officials accountable after elections by reaching out to them about the issues that matter to you, and making sure they are keeping their promises.   Chris Melody Fields Figueredo is the Executive Director of The Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, which works to strengthen American democracy using ballot initiatives.  Follow Chris on X:  https://x.com/fieldsy    Follow Mila on X:  https://x.com/milaatmos    Follow Future Hindsight on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futurehindsightpod/   Sponsor:  Thanks to Shopify for supporting Future Hindsight!

Just 100 days out from Election Day, the U.S. political landscape is drastically different than it was a little more than a week ago. The effects of the shakeup on the Democratic presidential ticket are being felt in the battle for the House and Senate and the fight over big issues on the ballot in many states.

When you think of the 2024 election, do you immediately think of Donald Trump and Joe Biden? Most people do. Some might also pay attention to House and Senate races.But some of the most significant elections every year don't even involve candidates. They are statewide ballot initiatives on issues ranging from abortion to crime and much more.And while we're not paying attention, a Swiss billionaire is pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into organizations committed to enacting far-left policies in swing states. And keep in mind that foreign money in our elections is illegal.According to a stunning report from Americans for Public Trust, Hansjörg Wyss has donated $250 million to a leftist organization called The 1630 Fund. That group has spent at least $100 million on successful progressive ballot initiatives to enshrine abortion with no restrictions in state constitutions and advance soft-on-crime policies.Of course, when releasing an avalanche of issue ads, they are not sponsored by The 1630 Fund. It's always through safe-sounding entities like North Carolinians for a Better Economy.Today, Sara welcomes Americans for Public Trust Executive Director Caitlyn Sutherland, who will shed much more light on who Wyss is, how he operates, and how he wants to remake the U.S. into a progressive nation.But there is hope. Sutherland details efforts in Congress and at the state level to put the clamps on people like Wyss and their schemes. But it's not easy and you'll be amazed how brazenly leftist American politicians are working to protect this effort to subvert our elections.Please visit our great sponsors:Goldcohttp://saralikesgold.comGet your free gold kit today and learn how to get $10,000 in bonus silver. My Pillowhttps://mypillow.comUse code CARTER for $25 prices and free shipping on orders over $75.Time Stamps:0:05 Are you concerned about ballot measures?5:35 Caitlin Sutherland joins the Sara Carter Show7:23 What tipped us off?10:26 Why don't we know his name?13:49 Can we believe what our enemies say?15:16 The 1630 fund18:06 Do these groups disclose who funds them?20:49 This should be a bi-partisan issue…26:13 A bill to stop this28:54 Can we get Dems to vote for this?36:10 He probably hates his sister..39:08 Show closePlease visit: https://americansforpublictrust.org/
