What happens when a party-loving, vintage-hunting, anti-capitalist powerhouse decides to take on billionaires, landlords, and the status quo? You get Jen Snyder—a political strategist, campaign manager, and all-around force for working-class people. In this episode, Jen and I dive deep into how she went from the world of advertising to running political campaigns, using the same persuasion tactics that sell products to fight for real change. We break down the psychology of propaganda, how billionaires trick people into voting against their own interests, and why local government is where real power lies. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by politics or unsure where to start, Jen lays out tangible steps you can take to get involved without burning out. We also discuss immigration rights, the fight for social housing, and how taxing the rich can fund the programs we all deserve. The future isn't written yet, but it will be built by those who fight for it—so let's get to work. Listen now, share widely, and join the movement.

Part 1:We speak with Dean Preston, Member of San Francisco Board of Supervisors.We discuss how a lot of money is being used to shift San Francisco to the right politically. Many very rich people want to make SF a tech libertarian state with no thought to the people who already live there. They want to eliminate many institutions of direct democracy in the city. Donors are hiding behind blandly named organizations, and are already in control of the Democratic party Central Committee. San Francisco, while not an especially large city, is influential and this is an alarming development.Part 2:We speak with Carolos Vargas Ramos, a political scientist and Director of the Center for Public Policy at Hunter College.We discuss the effect of Latino voters on elections. We also learn the distribution of Latino voters, and the distinction between Latino groups and age segments, economic groups, etc. and how they are likely to vote. What kinds of jobs are Latinos likely to be holding? What is their connection to undocumented people? Where do they live, and how will this affect the votes from those states? WNHNFM.ORG  productionMusic by David Rovics: "Time to Act" Song for Will Van Sproson

What if the very city you adored turned a blind eye to your desperate pleas for justice? Imagine tracing your stolen possessions to a brazen fencing operation, right under the nose of law enforcement, only to be met with disinterest and apathy. This is the disconcerting reality we explore today, recounting the harrowing tale of Justin Schuck whose camera equipment was stolen in broad daylight in San Francisco.We navigate the winding alleyways of indifference and nonchalance exemplified by the San Francisco police, particularly the Tenderloin station. The city's predicament is further magnified by the audacious bike-jacking of a reputed reporter and the perplexing stance of city supervisor, Dean Preston, who managed to draw Elon Musk into the fray. Simultaneously, we run a critical eye over the controversial strategies proposed by the Office of Economic and Workforce Development to combat car break-ins - measures that seemingly shift the blame onto victims rather than targeting the actual culprits.As we journey into the depths of the city's dark underbelly, we express our frustrations at the apparent lack of progress, despite Mayor Breed's commendable attempt at setting up an anti-fencing rewards program. We shed light on the stark absence of surveillance, exemplified by a Tesla rental bereft of an onboard camera. And we touch upon a worrying trend - the city's escalating crime rates driving its residents to consider altering their political leanings. Join us in this unflinching examination of San Francisco's struggles with crime, indifference, and the desperate search for solutions.Support the show

San Francisco and the Overdose Crisis Part 3*Content Warning: Explicit language and a description of an overdose experience.* San Francisco city officials have decided that arresting unhoused people for using drugs is the way to get them into treatment programs. Critics say jails are no place to get clean. And besides, forcing people into rehab doesn't work. Based on the rate of treatment refusal by those arrested, the critics have a point. In the third episode of our series on San Francisco and the overdose crisis, we take a historical look at policing drug use and the massive hurdles that are getting in the way.

Dean Preston represents District 5 on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. A tenants' rights attorney and member of the Democratic Socialists of America, he was the first democratic socialist elected to the board in 40 years. Recently, a campaign by a group called the "YIMBYs" has accused Preston of denying housing to thousands of people. In this episode, we talk about why San Francisco has a housing crisis and how to solve it. We also talk about how pro-developer groups produce propaganda that portrays affordable housing activists as "opposed to affordable housing." Dean responds to the YIMBY charges and shows how corporate disinformation against socialists works. We discuss:- Why rent control is actually a very good thing - How the hypocrisy of San Francisco rich people has driven inequality spiraling out of control in the city- How the "YIMBY movement" paints anyone who opposes developers' interests as an anti-housing "NIMBY"- The things cities need to actually be affordable - How elected officials can use their positions to exact concessions from developers (and why this shouldn't be considered "opposing the development of housing")- How disinformation campaigns try to massage the facts to manipulate voters (and why voters are often too smart to be fooled) Nathan's article on YIMBYism is here.

Dean recounts his vibrant activist record, and how he went from working as a housing justice attorney representing low-income tenants fighting Ellis Act evictions to organizing one of the nation's leading tenant advocacy groups. Dean, who also wrote Prop F, which gives city-funded legal representation to renters facing eviction, talks us through the legislative hurdles facing tenants and why displacement and homelessness will continue to rise without housing access. We also get into housing discrimination and its impact on the formerly incarcerated, who are nearly 10 times more likely to be homeless than the general public. Also, in light of the Trump administration's proposed crackdown on homeless encampments in California, Dean offers up what he would be willing to do so as to protect San Francisco’s homeless from such attacks.

In this episode David talks with Jen Snyder about Prop F, the ballot measure passed one year ago that promises legal representation to all tenants facing eviction. 1,600 San Franciscans were evicted in 2017, a 26% increase from 2010, and 90% of evicted people are black or Latinx. While landlords are well-armed in the courts, only 10% of tenants have lawyers. So Prop F addresses a major power imbalance between property owners and the working class. Jen was central to the campaign for Prop F alongside Dean Preston, the tenant rights attorney now running for supervisor of district 5. Jen is Dean’s campaign manager. www.votedean.com
