CEO at The Impact Seat Foundation & National Board Chair for Netroots Nation, Cheryl Contee, discusses the venture capital's failure to reach black entrepreneurs as well as the state of the Progressive movement. Cheryl Contee is the CEO of the Impact Seat Foundation and the founder and chair of Do Big Things, both organizations working towards creating a world where women can succeed as business leaders and advancing new technologies for progressive causes. Contee has been an active participant in Netroots Nation, a progressive political convention, from its inception. She is also a board chair for the event and believes in its mission to unify various voices in the progressive movement, even when internal conflict exists. The Impact Seat Foundation focuses on investing in women-led tech startups and pushing capital toward people of color who are disproportionately underrepresented in business investments. Contee believes that there's a massive opportunity lost in GDP by not investing in businesses started by people of color. Contee also addresses issues of diversity and inclusion in her ventures, insisting that diversity is a strength, not a concession. She advocates for panels at Netroots Nation and elsewhere to be diverse in terms of race, gender, and perspective to enrich the conversation. She is the author of the Amazon best-selling book "Mechanical Bull," which is a guide for achieving startup success. The book not only reflects her personal story but also includes practical information for aspiring entrepreneurs, including quotes from other successful innovators. Cheryl Contee is making a substantial impact in both the progressive and business spheres by bridging the gap between social justice and entrepreneurship. Her focus on empowering women and people of color in the venture capital space aligns with the broader goals of the progressive movement, which seeks to correct systemic imbalances and champion diversity and inclusion. The work of leaders like Contee is critical in reshaping the landscape of venture capital, which has been historically dominated by white, male entrepreneurs. By directing capital towards underrepresented groups, Contee is not only fulfilling the ethical mandate of social justice but also helping to realize untapped economic potential. The Brookings Institution has reported on the racial gaps in venture capital, highlighting that Black entrepreneurs receive a disproportionately small amount of venture funding. Cheryl's role as a board chair in Netroots Nation also serves as a crucial platform to instigate meaningful dialogue and action within the progressive movement. Netroots has been effective in providing a space for constructive dialogue among a very diverse set of voices, from activists to influencers. This is in line with the broader progressive goal to create a more inclusive, equitable society, as underlined by institutions such as the Center for American Progress. In summary, the work of Cheryl Contee in venture capital and the progressive movement exemplifies a forward-thinking approach that aims to rectify systemic imbalances while also creating economic opportunities. It's a synergistic relationship that has the potential to transform both the business world and social justice landscapes in the United States. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/politicsdoneright/support

Police and an arrest affidavit provided new details Tuesday about what occurred during the early morning shooting. Lewis told police he was lying in bed at his home when he heard noises and went downstairs “because he did not know if someone was trying to come into his home,” according to the affidavit. He said he saw a car and “youngsters” wearing black and said “Hey! What are y'all doing?”Lewis, Contee said, remained on his property and fired first at a “getaway vehicle that was parked nearby.” Contee said that Karon “and another person who was unidentified began to run. At some point, Karon ran toward Mr. Lewis and Mr. Lewis fired a shot, striking Karon and killing him.”

Paolo RepettoChristo e Jeanne Claude ProjectsCastello di Miradolo15 ottobre 2022 - 16 aprile 2023A poco più di due anni dalla scomparsa di Christo Vladimirov Javacheff, il Castello di Miradolo dedica a Christo e Jeanne-Claude, la coppia che ha rivoluzionato il concetto di opera d'arte e il suo processo di realizzazione, la mostra Christo e Jeanne-Claude. Projects, che espone disegni, collages, fotografie e video delle loro opere più famose, insieme ad opere di alcuni artisti del Nouveau Réalisme e della Land Art che hanno influenzato la loro produzione artistica e il loro pensiero.Curata da Francesco Poli, Paolo Repetto e Roberto Galimberti, con il coordinamento generale di Paola Eynard, la mostra, realizzata grazie alla collaborazione con la Christo and Jeanne-Claude Foundation di New York, presenta circa sessanta opere accompagnate da un'ampia sezione fotografica e dalla proiezione dei video che documentano la realizzazione delle monumentali installazioni artistiche. Le opere di Christo e Jeanne-Claude, tanto inedite, quanto ardite e monumentali, fecero sempre molta fatica ad essere approvate ed accettate. Nel 1966 il permesso per il progetto Wrapped Trees, concepito per il parco adiacente al Saint Louis Art Museum, in Missouri, fu negato. Nel 1969 gli artisti immaginarono il progetto Wrapped Trees, Project for Avenue des Champs- Élysées and the Rond Point des Champs-Élysée a Parigi, anch'esso mai realizzato. Il progetto Wrapped Trees per Riehen (Comune alle porte di Basilea) è stato infine completato nel 1998 ed è il risultato di 32 anni di sforzi e attese. Nel parco intorno alla Fondation Beyeler, 178 alberi, alti da 2 a 25 metri, sono stati avvolti con 23 chilometri di corda e con 55mila metri quadrati di tessuto in poliestere intrecciato.Al 1968 risalgono i primi due edifici impacchettati: entrambi musei. Si tratta della Kunsthalle di Berna e del Museum of Contemporary Art di Chicago. Nello stesso anno, in occasione della quarta edizione di Documenta, la quinquennale esposizione internazionale che si svolge a Kassel, in Germania, Christo e Jeanne-Claude realizzano davanti al palazzo del Friedericianum, sede della mostra, 5.600 Cubicmeter Package, una gigantesca scultura gonfiabile alta circa 85 metri. Nel 1974 a Roma il critico Achille Bonito Oliva organizza la grande rassegna “Contemporanea” a cui partecipano tutti i maggiori artisti internazionali. Christo e Jeanne-Claude realizzano una delle loro opere urbane più straordinarie: The Wall-Wrapped Roman Wall, che vede una sezione di ben 250 metri delle Mura Aureliane interamente coperta da tessuto di polipropilene legato da corde in Dacron. Nel 1985, undici anni dopo, The Pont Neuf Wrapped segna un nuovo intervento urbano che ha come protagonista il più antico ponte di Parigi, la cui architettura – in costante evoluzione - ha rispecchiato per secoli il carattere trasformista della città. L'intervento di Christo e Jeanne-Claude conferisce al Pont Neuf una nuova dimensione scultorea, continuandone dunque la tradizione della metamorfosi architettonica, trasformandolo per 14 giorni in un'opera d'arte.Wrapped Coast, One Million Square Feet (1969) nella Little Bay di Sydney in Australia, Valley Curtain (1972) a Rifle in Colorado, Ocean Front (1974) a Newport, Rhode Island a sud di Boston, Running Fence (1976) nelle Contee di Sonoma e Marin in California, sono tutte opere di dimensioni colossali, dove enormi teli in polipropilene o nylon hanno celato, per alcune settimane, vasti spazi, ora di costa, ora di acqua, ora di cielo. Valley Curtain, il grande telo arancione disteso come una immensa diga tra gli estremi di due colline, richiese 28 mesi di preparazione e durò solo 28 ore poiché forti raffiche di vento, fino a 100 km all'ora, resero necessaria una tempestiva disinstallazione. Running Fence, lunga quasi 40 chilometri e alta 5,5 metri, si estendeva da est a ovest, a nord di San Francisco, sulle proprietà di 59 allevatori di bestiame. Per 14 giorni l'alta “recinzione” di nylon bianco, come una inedita muraglia cinese, ma più elegante e leggera, seguiva l'andamento sinuoso delle colline per poi scomparire, immergendosi nell'oceano Pacifico, a Bodega Bay. L'idea arcaica della grande muraglia, come recinzione e difesa, delimitazione politica e confine, nella concezione dei due artisti si trasforma in un sinuoso nastro di luce che anziché separare, unisce, riaffermando ed esaltando così le caratteristiche coloristiche e luminose del contesto naturale catturato in una precisa frazione di tempo. Wrapped Fountain and Wrapped Medieval Tower (1968) sono le prime opere pubbliche realizzate da Christo e Jeanne-Claude in Italia. In occasione del Festival dei Due Mondi di Spoleto impacchettano una torre medievale e la Fontana del Mascherone del XVII secolo. Per i dieci anni dalla fondazione del movimento del Nouveau Réalisme, Christo e Jeanne-Claude impacchettarono con un tessuto in propilene bianco e con corde arancio due dei principali monumenti scultorei di Milano: quello di Vittorio Emanuele II in piazza del Duomo e quello di Leonardo da Vinci in piazza della Scala. Wrapped Monument to Leonardo e Wrapped Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II (1970) ebbero entrambi vita breve: rispettivamente due e sette giorni.Wrapped Reichstag (1995), l'impacchettamento dello storico palazzo del parlamento tedesco a Berlino, ha visto Christo e Jeanne-Claude impegnati in un travagliato processo di approvazione del loro progetto durato oltre due decenni. Per la forte pregnanza simbolica dell'edificio questo è forse l'intervento urbano più significativo degli artisti ed è tra quelli che ha avuto la maggiore risonanza e il più forte impatto a livello mondiale. La facciata, le torri e il tetto sono stati ricoperti con 100mila metri quadrati di tessuto in polipropilene color alluminio legati con ben 16,6 chilometri di corde blu. Il lavoro è stato compiuto da 70 alpinisti professionisti e da 120 operai installatori.A differenza degli esponenti della Land Art americana, che hanno privilegiato lontani territori desertici incontaminati e difficilmente raggiungibili, Christo e Jeanne-Claude hanno sempre voluto realizzare le loro opere in luoghi facilmente accessibili, anche nel caso degli interventi in spazi naturali. La componente fondamentale dei loro progetti era la presenza umana in forma di rapporto che una comunità di individui sviluppa con il contesto in cui vive e al contempo di interazione e coinvolgimento diretto nella creazione dei progetti stessi. Con Surrounded Islands (1983) nella Biscayne Bay di Miami, 11 delle isole situate nella baia furono circondate da oltre 600mila metri quadrati di tessuto fluttuante in polipropilene rosa che ricopriva la superficie dell'acqua e si estendeva per 61 metri da ciascuna isola nella baia. All'alba del 9 ottobre 1991, alla presenza di Christo e Jeanne-Claude, furono aperti i 3.100 ombrelli alti 6 metri e con un diametro di circa 8,5 metri, a Ibaraki e in California. The Umbrellas (1991) intendeva indagare le somiglianze e le differenze nei modi di vivere e nell'uso dello spazio in due valli interne, una lunga 19 chilometri in Giappone e l'altra 29 chilometri negli Stati Uniti. In Giappone, la valle si trova nella prefettura di Ibaraki e comprende le proprietà di 459 proprietari terrieri privati e di agenzie governative. Negli Stati Uniti, la valle si trova a poco meno di 100 chilometri a nord di Los Angeles, nelle proprietà del Tejon Ranch, appartenenti a 25 proprietari terrieri privati e agenzie governative. Con The Floating Piers (2016) per 16 giorni, dal 18 giugno al 3 luglio, il Lago d'Iseo è stato reinventato. Centomila metri quadrati di tessuto giallo dalia scintillante, fissati a un sistema modulare di pontili galleggianti composto da 220mila cubi di polietilene ad alta densità, ondeggiavano con il movimento dell'acqua, appena sopra la superficie del lago. The Gates (2005) è un cammino lungo 37 chilometri a Central Park, a New York: 7.503 “cancelli” alti quasi 5 metri e distanti tra loro circa tre metri e mezzo.Tutte le opere ambientali di Christo e Jeanne-Claude sono sempre state interamente finanziate dagli artisti stessi, attraverso la vendita dei disegni, dei collage e dei modelli in scala dei progetti in essere o passati. Tutti i progetti sono sempre stati liberamente accessibili al pubblico in maniera gratuita.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEAscoltare fa Pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Police: 1 dead, 8 wounded in shooting at gathering in Harlem NEW YORK (AP) — New York City police say an early-morning shooting at a gathering in Harlem left a man dead and eight other people wounded. Police, citing preliminary information, say officers responded about 12:40 a.m. Monday to reports of a shooting on a footpath along the FDR Drive and found five people shot. Police say four others arrived at hospitals for treatment. Police say a 21-year-old man was pronounced dead at a hospital. Police didn't immediately have details about the gathering or what may have led to the shooting. Information about possible suspects wasn't immediately released, but Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell says: “The emboldened individuals responsible for this are exactly who our officers are battling every day to make our city safe." Teen killed, officer, 2 adults shot at unpermitted DC event WASHINGTON (AP) — Police in Washington, D.C., say a 15-year-old boy was shot to death and three adults, including a police officer, were wounded after a musical event lacking a permit erupted into chaos. The shooting took place Sunday night near 14th and U Streets NW, about 2 miles north of the White House. Metropolitan Police Chief Robert J. Contee III says the wounded police officer and the other adults were recovering at hospitals. Contee says officials will be speaking to event organizers and considering what legal action can be taken because the event lacked a permit. US opens COVID vaccine to little kids; shots begin this week NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. health officials have opened COVID-19 vaccines for infants, toddlers and preschoolers — the last group without the shots. The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced the decision Saturday, hours after an advisory panel voted unanimously that coronavirus vaccines should made available to children as young as 6 months. The Biden administration has been gearing up for the start of the shots early this week. Millions of doses have been ordered for distribution to doctors, hospitals and community health clinics around the country. 'It's just hell there': Russia still pounds eastern Ukraine KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia's military machine is persevering in its ferocious effort to grind down Ukraine's defenses. In Ukraine's eastern Luhansk region, which in recent weeks has become the focal point of Moscow's attempt to impose its will on its neighbor, battles reportedly raged for the control of multiple villages Monday. The war's consequences for food and fuel supplies are increasingly weighing on minds around the globe after warnings that the fighting could go on for years. Financial help for children displaced by the war was due to come from an unlikely quarter later Monday, when a prominent Russian journalist was to auction off his Nobel Peace Prize medal in New York. Bill Cosby civil trial jury must start deliberations over SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — After two days of deliberations, jurors in a civil trial deciding on sexual abuse allegations against Bill Cosby will have to start from scratch on Monday. By the end of Friday, jurors had decided on nearly all questions put before them, including whether Cosby had sexually assaulted plaintiff Judy Huth at the Playboy Mansion in 1975 when she was 16. Los Angeles County Judge Craig Karlan, who had promised one juror she could depart after Friday, wanted to accept the partial verdict, but courthouse closure rules left him no choice but to close down. Jurors will begin again with an alternate. Sunday's sports highlights The US Open goes to a first-time Major champion, the Yankees finally lose, the Guardians knock off the Dodgers, the Red Sox get past the Cardinals and the Braves avoid their first three-game skid of the season.  Yellen: Recession not inevitable, gas tax holiday weighed REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says she expects the U.S. economy to slow in the months ahead, but that a recession is not inevitable. She's offering a dose of optimism even as economists grow increasingly worried about a recession fueled by skyrocketing inflation and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Yellen tells ABC's “This Week” that overall consumer spending in the United States remains strong, while also noting that spending patterns are changing, given the impact of rising food and energy prices. She's also expressing an openness to a federal gas tax holiday to help give motorists some relief at the pump. And she says it'll take “skill and luck” to bring down inflation while maintaining low unemployment. Outside Yellowstone, flooded towns struggle to recover FROMBERG, Mont. (AP) — With Yellowstone National Park pushing to re-open to tourists more quickly than anticipated after record floods pounded southern Montana, some of those hardest hit in the disaster live far from the famous park's limelight and are leaning heavily on one another to pull their lives out of the mud. In the farming town of Fromberg, the Clarks Fork River flooded almost 100 homes and badly damaged a major irrigation ditch that serves many of the farms. The town's mayor says about a third of the flooded homes can't be repaired. Resident Lindi O'Brien says if the town is going to recover, its 400 people will have to do much of the work themselves. Reports: Paul Haggis detained in Italy in sex assault case ROME (AP) — Italian news reports are quoting prosecutors in southern Italy as saying film director Paul Haggis has been detained for investigation of the alleged sexual assault of a woman. Haggis has been in Italy for a film festival in Ostuni. The tourist town is in the southeastern region of Puglia. News agency LaPresse and other Italian media carried a statement from prosecutors in nearby Brindisi that they are investigating allegations a “young foreign woman” was forced to have “non-consensual” sexual relations over two days. The authorities were quoted as saying that Haggis dropped the woman off early Sunday at Brindisi airport where authorities helped her. Haggis's attorney didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. NYC making push to get fired workers vaccinated, rehired NEW YORK (AP) — New York City is making a push to give city workers who were fired earlier this year for not getting to the COVID-19 vaccine a chance to get their old jobs back if they get vaccinated. In February, the city fired more than 1,400 workers who failed to comply with the vaccine mandate put in place by former Mayor Bill de Blasio. Unvaccinated non-Department of Education workers are receiving a letter with details, and DOE employees are expected to receive a letter later in the summer. A city spokesperson says 97% of workers are vaccinated and that the goal has always been “vaccination rather than termination." Deputy: 2 officers had chance to shoot Uvalde school gunman UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Two Uvalde city police officers told a sheriff's deputy that they passed up a fleeting chance to shoot the gunman for fear of hitting children outside an elementary school where the gunman killed 21 people. The gunman went on to enter Robb Elementary School in Uvalde on May 24 and open fire, killing 19 children and two teachers. Chief Deputy Ricardo Rios of nearby Zavala County told The New York Times of speaking to two unidentified officers, one of whom was armed with an AR-15-style rifle, who said they had seen the gunman firing from outside the school. When Rios asked why the officers didn't shoot, they said children were playing in the background in the line of fire. Iowa Supreme Court: Abortion not fundamental right in state DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Supreme Court has made it easier for lawmakers to limit or outlaw abortion in the state, reversing a decision by the court just four years ago that guaranteed the right to abortion under the Iowa Constitution. The court concluded Friday that a 2018 decision was wrong and should be overturned. The ruling stemmed from a lawsuit filed by abortion providers who challenged a 2020 law that required a 24-hour waiting period before a woman can get an abortion. A judge struck down the law in June 2021, citing the 2018 Iowa Supreme Court decision that declared abortion a fundamental right under the state constitution. The court reversed that decision and sent the case back to district court. Court rejects Trump-era EPA finding that weed killer safe WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals court has rejected a Trump administration finding that the active ingredient in the weed killer Roundup does not pose a serious health risk and is “not likely” to cause cancer in humans. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on Friday ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to reexamine its 2020 finding that glyphosate did not pose a health risk for people. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup, the most widely used herbicide in the world. Its original producer, Monsanto, was bought in 2018 by pharmaceutical giant Bayer, which now faces thousands of claims from people who say Roundup exposure caused their cancer. 7 arrested in House office building linked to Colbert show WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Capitol Police say officers arrested seven unauthorized people in a congressional office building Thursday night and charged them with unlawful entry. The people identified themselves as being affiliated with CBS' “Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press. The person could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The incident Thursday night followed the third public hearing by the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. The USCP statement says the case remains “an active criminal investigation, and may result in additional criminal charges.” Russian TV shows videos of 2 US vets captured in Ukraine Russian state television has shown video of two U.S. military veterans who went missing last week while fighting in Ukraine. The videos confirm that the men were taken captive and raise fears about their fate. Alex Drueke and Andy Huynh, both from Alabama, are believed to be the first Americans captured by Russian forces since the war began on Feb. 24. Drueke is shown on camera telling his mother he is alive. Russian RT, which broadcasts in English, says the Americans are being held by Russian-backed separatist forces in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine. Drag story hour hosts, under attack, dig in their heels SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Rhetoric against LGBTQ people is now targeting drag storytimes with interruptions and other protests around the country during Pride Month. At one recent event outside San Francisco, members of the extremist Proud Boys walked in and began hurling insults at a drag queen as she read to children and their parents. Organizers of the reading programs say that they have faced pushback from the beginning but that the recent vitriol is new. They say opponents who claim they want to protect children are actually just scaring and endangering them. And they say they plan to enhance security but won't stop their reading programs.

Marijuana & Violent Crime: Is There a Link? | 710 Morning Show | July 27, 2021 Washington D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee addressed the city's crime wave in a press conference last week, citing a number of contributing factors, including the pandemic, too many guns in the city, and insufficient resources for officers. He also cited marijuana. “We have taken on a mindset that marijuana is not really a big issue in our city,” Contee said. “I can tell you that marijuana undoubtedly is connected to violent crime in our city.” Media outlets jumped on this story quick… and the prohibitionists were just as quick to demonize the plant. But if cannabis is causing gun violence, it's because of the discrepancy between local and federal legalization laws, not weed-induced “psychosis”.

In this episode of By Any Means Necessary, host Jacquie Luqman and producer Wyatt Reed are joined by Dr. Richard Wolff, Economist and Professor at the New School University and author of the new book “The Sickness Is the System: When Capitalism Fails to Save Us from Pandemics Or Itself,” to discuss Donald Trump's suggestion that he won't pass the COVID-19 mitigation deal unless the checks sent out are increased from $600 to $2,000, the priorities demonstrated by the numerous issues in vaccine distribution, and why the US response to the pandemic is so underwhelming in comparison to China's.In the second segment, Jacquie and Wyatt are joined by Jeb Sprague, a research associate at the University of Cali Riverside and author of “Globalizing the Caribbean: Political Economy, Social Change, and the Transnational Capitalist Class,” to discuss his new article on The Grayzone, "Covid-19 catch-22: Regime-change policies come packed with US pandemic relief," the various 'democracy promotion' organizations set to receive funding under the omnibus bill packaged with the coronavirus mitigation deal, and the impacts of such programs in the Caribbean and beyond.Later in the show, Jacquie and Wyatt are joined by Chuck Modiano, Justice Journalist and Sports Writer at Deadspin, to discuss the implications of agreeing with Trump on his demand for more stimulus money while recognizing his xenophobic, white supremacist, and nationalist populism, whether the changing of the guard at the top of DC's Metropolitan Police Department signals any real change in how city police interact with residents, and how Americans' lack of international focus informs what people ignore and allow in war crimes, presidential pardons, and even police abuse in American cities—and what that means for the struggle in the year to come.

Oggi è stata una giornata piena per la politica italiana: in parlamento si è capito che nessun partito ha una visione di cosa dovrebbe succedere nelle prossime settimane. Inoltre, si è allargato il fronte delle regioni ribelli contro il governo, e Borrelli ha ufficialmente concluso la fase delle conferenze stampa delle 18.La posizione di Contee dell'esecutivo non è solidissima, perché ignora qualsiasi critica su come la transizione verso la fase 2 sia stata gestita. Ma viene almeno parzialmente giustificata dall’opposizione di Salvini, Meloni e Renzi, che non hanno il coraggio di ammettere che vorrebbero una riapertura totale.Intanto, lunedì la fase 2 inizia davvero: ma la distribuzione e il prezzo delle mascherine chirurgiche restano molto discussi, l’app di contact tracing non sarà pronta in tempo, e le difficoltà per garantire una mobilità sicura sono tantissime.Leggi le note dell’episodio: https://thesubmarine.it/2020/05/01/trappist-065/
