In this episode, Ria Soler, the director of education and global advocacy for luxury spirit brand Tequila Komos, talks about how the company has focused on organic growth, thoughtful distribution and authenticity to stand out in an increasingly crowded market. Show notes: 0:45: Sports Drink? Tawchy's. More Investment, But Where? Jean Luc Picard. National Day Day. –  Tequila is still booming, but is “better for you”? Torchy's Tacos is all over Austin.

She also offers a candid look into Komos's multifaceted approach to brand building, how it embraces product placement in popular television shows from The White Lotus to The Real Housewives, and why “all press is good press” as the company expands visibility. Ria also talks about why at the heart of Komos' growth is a strong focus on distributor relationships, where trust and mutual respect are essential – especially during its transition into Gallo's network.

What are the long-term, intended and unintended consequences of the USAID funding freeze? How the suspension of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, the reinstatement of the Global Gag Rule, and other executive orders from the new Trump Administration related to the US-Mexico border and the End of the Sensitive Zones Policy will impact the rights, safety, and lives of refugee women and girls in the U.S. and worldwide? In this interview with Devon Cone, Senior Advocate for Women and Girls at Refugees International, we explored the factors behind the growing disinterest in the protection of migrants' human rights and we examined how these measures will disproportionately affect women and girls fleeing violent conflict in Afghanistan, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mexico, and countries in the Northern Triangle of Central America.

You're listening to Bardtenders!In this episode of The Mixing Glass, Clint Spotleson joins the Bardtenders to talk about his career in the hospitality industry, the evolution of the Phoenix, Arizona cocktail scene, his time spent at Herbs & Rye in Las Vegas, and the history of Sagamore Rye whiskey! ------------Clint Spotleson grew up in Phoenix, AZ and has spent 20+ years in the bar industry, helping build the Phoenix cocktail scene. Early in his career, Clint got involved with Camp Runamok, where he built a love for whiskey, which eventually led to an opportunity to work with WhistlePig Rye in 2016.  Clint left Whistlepig in 2017 for a five-year stint in Vegas at Herbs & Rye, before returning home to Phoenix in late 2021. After some time with Kimpton Hotels, Clint made the decision to officially make the move out from behind the bar, where he ultimately landed his dream role as the Global Advocacy & Engagement Manager with Sagamore Rye.Sagamore Rye has been around since 2013, where they initially bought their rye from MGP while starting up. In 2017 they opened our distillery in Baltimore, Maryland and have been producing our own rye ever since. We use a double mashbill recipe, a 95/5 (rye/ malted barley) high rye and a 52/43/5 (rye/ corn/ malted barley) low rye to create a rye that lines up with what you found historically in Maryland. We work hand in hand with local farmers to be a 100% Grain-to-Glass Maryland Rye Whiskey.------------Don't miss out on any of the action!  Head to www.bardtender.com to stay up to date with all of the Bardtender content, find resources for mental and physical wellbeing, get access to education materials, and check out what all of our bards are up to!

The global gag rule, which prevents non-governmental organizations who receive U.S. global health funding from providing, counseling on, referring for, or advocating for abortion in their own country and using their own, private resources, has been reinstated by President Trump. Lori Adelman, Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Global, and Caitlin Horrigan, Senior Director of Global Advocacy at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, sits down to talk with us about what the expanded global gag rule is, what it means for health practitioners and patients abroad, and how it can be repealed.When the global gag rule is in place, there is a deep disrupting in health service delivery, bolstering an anti-human rights agenda globally, undermining trust in medical providers, and weakening civil society allies. Communities have less access to centralized, essential care, which can force people to turn to unsafe methods of abortion. Thankfully, there are policy solutions. The Global Health, Empowerment, and Rights Act (Global HER Act), which was reintroduced this week, would take away presidential power to reinstate the global gag rule. Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Last week, the House Energy and Commerce Committee had a hearing all about Section 230, in which they didn't even attempt to find a witness pointing out its benefits. Among the many organizations that could have provided that vital perspective is the Wikimedia Foundation (as seen in three excellent posts on Medium), and this week we're joined by Rebecca MacKinnon, Wikimedia's VP of Global Advocacy and long-time open internet defender, to talk about why the hearing was bad and Section 230 is very, very important.

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, governments and tech companies have taken swift action to limit the flow of propaganda out of Russia, and Russia has in turn taken draconian measures to limit the flow of information into Russia, including banning some Western social media platforms, crushing what remained of independent journalism in the country and cracking down on free expression generally. How do these events fit in the broader scheme of things? The trajectory for global internet freedom and digital rights, just like the trajectory for democracy generally, has been going in the wrong direction for years. What do governments, organizations and the community of individuals concerned with these issues need to do to try to change that trajectory, and to support those working turn the tide? To answer these questions and more, I invited three experts to join me for this week's podcast Rebecca MacKinnon, Vice President for Global Advocacy at the Wikimedia Foundation Allie Funk, Senior Research Analyst for Technology and Democracy at Freedom House Justin Sherman, a Fellow at the Cyber Statecraft Initiative at The Atlantic Council

Worship with us on the First Sunday in Lent. Dr Sue Jones, Dean of Liverpool Cathedral, leads this service on 'Justice in Creation', and the sermon is from Dr Ruth Valerio, Global Advocacy and Influencing Director at Tearfund.

We discuss the seeming contradiction of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's directive to consider medical services to trans kids as abuse, and the Washington State Supreme Court's ruling that sets heightened expectations around relatives in the child welfare system. Ian Forber-Pratt, the director of Global Advocacy & Growth for Children's Emergency Relief International, joins to discuss his long, international path through child welfare. Forber-Pratt was adopted from his home country of India, grew up in Missouri and has since worked on child welfare reform in both nations. We talked about his childhood, his effort to create a foster care system in India (which previously saw abuse/neglect handled informally in the community or with big orphanages and institutions), and kinship care in America.

Child care institutions help provide the basic needs of a child - food, shelter, clothing, education and provide a safe space for those in situations of extreme risk. While they do their best to provide family-like care, it still isn't really family.  On this episode of Care of the State, Satyajeet Mazumdar, Head of Advocacy at Catalysts for Social Action talks to Ian Anand Forber-Pratt, the Director of Global Advocacy for Children's Emergency Relief International, about the different kinds of care options children have, apart from institutional care. Subhadeep Adhikary, Program Manager of Child Protection at the Jharkhand Unit of the Child in Need Institute, explains the importance of strengthening communities, and Dr. Shekhar Seshadri, Psychiatrist and professor of the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in NIMHANS, lists out the effects of institutionalization on the minds of vulnerable children.

His guest is Dr. Anne-Marie Baird, a cancer researcher at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. Dr. Baird is the former Chair of the IASLC Communications Committee, and the newly appointed President of Lung Cancer Europe, a European platform for lung cancer advocacy.

Ruth Valerio, Director of Global Advocacy at Tearfund, takes us through the whole Bible story to see how God's plan reconciles all things in Christ, not just people.    

Connect with Ian at https://www.linkedin.com/in/ian-forber-pratt-753b0311/Here's what  The Institute For Child Welfare Innovation is all about:"Here at the Institute we promote logical, effective and healing child welfare services that produce great results. We challenge the mindset of old-school thinkers, and we bring passion, patience and experience to the table. But we're always ready to learn more!For us, we demand that children, families and communities are treated fairly and equitably. We demand that systemic racism and inequality is eliminated as a factor when making decisions about family involvement for children in need of care and protection. There is a lifetime of work to be done.So… here at the Institute we believe that change is necessary. Doing the same old thing leads to the same old results. We all know those results: Parents dismissed, kids separated from family, minority families treated differently, and agencies tasked with raising kids. None of this works. Here's what we know: Family is paramount. When we look at family through a different lens, we see capability and opportunity. Instead of seeing a parent who left their child home alone, we see a parent whose child care fell through and they were forced to choose: miss work and thus food for the family or take the risk. We envision moving from a savior-based and removal child welfare system to one of prevention, healing and strength."Find out more about The Institute For Child Welfare Innovation visithttps://forchildwelfare.org/https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-institute-for-child-welfare-innovation/https://www.facebook.com/forchildwelfarehttps://twitter.com/forchildwelfareFor more about Children's Emergency Relief International https://cerikids.org/#adoption  #adoptionawareness #adoptionevent #adoptionislove #adoptionjourney#adoptionlove #adoptionresponsable #adoptions #adoptionstories #adoptionstory#adoptionsupport #adoptiontails #search #birthmother #biomom #YouCanAdopt

Summary  What are the advantages and disadvantages (if any) when an organization is in a position to start almost as if with a new slate after a large core grant infusion, and thus can propel an ambitious DEI agenda?And how do local authorities and national governments in global South countries respond to a localization push by an initiative like the Ultra Poor Graduation Initiative, part of the large Bangladesh-founded NGO BRAC?  In this episode, we talk with Rasha Natour, Senior Advocacy Manager at UPGI, about the Initiative's two strands of DEI-related work: ‘Right Work' and ‘Right Team', and the different roles these two approaches play in UPGI becoming a truly global entity.Rasha Natour's Bio:Sr. Advocacy Manager, Ultra Poor Graduation Initiative (UPGI), at the Bangladesh Rural & Advancement Committee (BRAC) Formerly senior Strategic Direction manager at CARE InternationalFormer Knowledge Management & Global Advocacy, CARE InternationalFormer researcher on civil society at the London School of Economics (LSE) Quotes“We cannot divide external change from the internal change. If we really want to see something happening externally, we need to ensure that we build internally to enable that.”“The way to have more local sustainability is by starting from the very beginning and not just as a consultative process.” We discussed:  When a nonprofit received a large core grant (such as the TED Audacious grant in the case of the Ultra Poor Graduation Initiative (UPGI)), it not only obviously allows the organization  to expand its programming but also offers that organization security as well as flexibility and agility When it comes to UPGI's Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging work (DEI+B), UPGI operates two workstreams: ‘Right Team' and ‘Right Work'. Under Right Team, the focus is on how to change the recruitment strategy, how to emphasize DEI+B values in recruitment steps, and how to change UPGI's performance management system ‘Right Work' relates to how to further shift the locus of decision making and authority to people most close to the impact; and how to work with local civil society in a way that recognizes its autonomy and identity and in a way that supports it in flexible manners The focus throughout UPGI's work is to center the voices of those closest to the level of impact Resources:Linkedin profileTwitter ProfileNGO websiteClick here to subscribe to be alerted when new podcast episodes come out or when Tosca produces other thought leadership pieces.Or email Tosca at tosca@5oaksconsulting.org if you want to talk about your social sector organization's needs, challenges, and opportunities.You can find Tosca's content by following her on her social media channels: Twitter LinkedIn Facebook Youtube

As Turkey’s government works to shrink the space for dissent against it, artists in the country have come under increased pressure to not antagonise authorities with their work. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s ruling Justice & Development Party (AKP) has shown time and again that it is unwilling to countenance criticism from across civil society. Artists in Turkey are among the voices currently being suffocated by authorities. According to Freemuse, a nonprofit devoted to protecting artistic expression, released their annual report that detailed the troubles facing Turkey’s artists and the country holds the inglorious honor of being one of Europe’s violators of this right. “Turkey is part of a wider trend of countries where there is an overall shrinking of alternative expressions that go against those propagated by the authorities,” said Paige Collings, Freemuse’s Global Advocacy and Campaigns Coordinator, in a recent podcast interview with Ahval News.

Ich weiß nicht, wie viele Jahre ich jetzt schon in der Whisky-Szene tätig bin…es sind viele. Und dennoch: selbst, wenn man ständig mit den diversen Malt Whisky-Marken Schottlands zu tun hat…ein paar landen da häufiger auf dem Schirm als andere. Eine die dabei lange Zeit zu kurz kam, war Fettercairn. Wobei zugegeben….der Dachkonzern von Fettercairn hatte lange Jahre kaum Ambitionen deren Malts als Single Malts zu vermarkten. Klar gab es hie und da eine Abfüllung, die Masse an Malts der Fettercairn-Destillerie landete aber in Blended Whiskys. Zwar ist dies nach wie vor der Fall, seit 2018 hat die Destillerie aber ein Portfolio aus Single Malts….und die sind wirklich die Wucht. Anlässlich der Veröffentlichung ihres neuesten Single Malts, den Fettercairn 16 Jahre, habe ich mich mit Mario Kappes unterhalten. Mario ist Global Advocacy & Education Manager beim Importeur Borco. Sie bringen die Malts von Fettercairn nach Deutschland. Im Interview verrät er dir, warum dieser Whisky eine so intensive Schokoladen und Frucht-Note besitzt.

Much of science advocacy is local by nature, but it also has tremendous potential to bring neuroscientists together on a global scale. In this episode, Bill Martin, the president and chief operating officer of Blackthorn Therapeutics, traces the evolution of SfN’s role in global advocacy efforts throughout his time on its Government and Public Affairs Committee and continued involvement with the Society. History of SfN: 50th Anniversary is a limited series podcast highlighting stories from the history of the Society for Neuroscience, recounting groundbreaking moments in the growth of the Society from the perspectives of current, past, and future leaders. In addition to the relationship between applied research and the science ecosystem at large, Martin discusses the successes of the BRAIN Initiative and development of new tools in its next phase, as well as the future of advocacy at SfN.

Unions are on the front lines of advocating human rights. That puts them in natural collaboration with non-governmental organizations doing the same. Amnesty International is one such NGO that has strong ties to global trade unions. Today I speak with Shane Enright, a Workers’ rights campaigner and global trade union adviser at Amnesty International. He recounts various campaigns organized by Amnesty that have tried to pressure governments to release some teachers held prison. He also talks about climate change and the September 20th general strike.

This is the fourth episode in our new, four-part podcast series 'Eating Thoughtfully'. Eating is never a solitary act; each meal connects us to a food chain, precious resources, human labour and a global ecology. Given the growing environmental impacts and social consequences of today’s agricultural practices, urgent action is needed. In this podcast series, we outline some biblical principles regarding food and propose a framework for thoughtful eating – so that we can learn to eat joyfully, relationally and sustainably. In this episode, Hannah Eves, Katherine Martin and Andrew Phillips (authors of the new book 'Thoughtful Eating') explore the applications of a biblical food ethic, suggesting practical actions at the individual, business and policy levels. We were also pleased to welcome Ruth Valerio (Director of Global Advocacy, Tearfund and author of 'L is for Living') to discuss sustainability and ethical living. Episode 1  Episode 2  Episode 3

"That's why the role of advocacy is so important, as distinct from activism. Advocacy is around giving a voice, or amplifying a voice of marginalized communities." Episode #11 of Season 2 of The Social Impactors Podcast features #SocialImpactor Michelle Emson, Digital Director at Women's March Global. Michelle and I talk about her work bringing awareness and amplifying the voices of minorities and marginalized groups in Muskoka, how she believes there are inequities in the world that can be solved if we work together, and how she began her work with Women's March Global, empowering women around the globe to become leaders, create more equity, diversity, and opportunity for women.

Following a succession of severe conflicts that have caused massive loss of life, dislocation and grave human rights violations, the task of the human rights movement today is a daunting one. Has the international community become resigned to irresolvable conflicts and human rights atrocities? The Lowy Institute hosted Philippe Bolopion, Human Rights Watch’s Deputy Director for Global Advocacy, together with ABC foreign correspondent Sophie McNeill and human rights expert and legal advocate Chris Sidoti for a discussion about the challenges of working against atrocities in countries such as Syria, Yemen, and Myanmar, and how United Nations advocacy can be effective. The discussion was moderated by Lowy Institute Director of Research, Alex Oliver. Philippe Bolopion is the Deputy Director for Global Advocacy at Human Rights Watch, where he contributes to HRW’s advocacy strategies and its advocacy response to crisis situations worldwide. Bolopion has been with HRW since 2010, travelling extensively to conflict zones such as Burundi, South Sudan, and Mali. He has been UN correspondent with French daily Le Monde and a journalist for France 24 and Radio France International. He reported on the end of the Kosovo conflict in Pristina (1999–2000), and is the author of Guantanamo: Le bagne du bout du monde (2004). Sophie McNeill is a reporter with the ABC’s Four Corners program and former Middle East correspondent. She has worked across the region including in Afghanistan, Yemen, Israel, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, Egypt, Turkey, and Gaza. She has received three Walkley awards: in 2016 both for her reporting on the war in Yemen and for her work on the starvation of Syrian children in towns under siege, and in 2010 for her investigation into the killing of five children in Afghanistan by Australian Special Forces soldiers. She has twice been awarded Australian Young TV Journalist of the Year. Chris Sidoti is an expert on human rights law, a senior human rights advocate, and a member of the United Nations Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar since July 2017. He has been Australian Human Rights Commissioner (1999–2000), a commissioner of the Australian Law Reform Commission (1992–1995), and has led human rights organisations in Australia and Geneva. He is presently an adjunct professor at the Australian Catholic University.

Martin Kirk is co-founder of /The Rules, a global collective of activists of all types dedicated to challenging the root causes of global poverty and inequality. He is also a consultant for the NoVo Foundation, helping advise their work on supporting communities to transition to new economic models. Prior to /TR Martin was the Head of Campaigns at Oxfam UK, and Head of Global Advocacy for Save the Children. He has written extensively on issues of poverty, inequality, and climate change, including in The Guardian, Al-Jazeera, The Independent and Fast Company. In this provocative interview, we get a perspective on issues of poverty and environmental breakdown that is very much outside of the norm. Drawing on his previous experience trying to understand attitudes towards poverty, Martin explains how harmful psychological narratives around poverty have become deeply embedded, so much so that they are inadvertently replicated by major development bodies. Martin analyses why this is the case and outlines the need for alternative narratives rooted in history and economics that show that extreme poverty is in fact a political choice. In discussing sustainability, Martin highlights how the current economic system is unsustainable in its very nature. Martin talks at length about the climate crisis, what implications this could have for global poverty and how the severity of the crisis has failed to be communicated to us. By way of explanation, Martin discusses structural flaws in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the primary international scientific body for studying climate change and political flaws in the organisation (as its final report is scrutinised by diplomats representing the world's governments, some of which have vested interests in downplaying the severity of the situation). He also points out that the lengthy processes by which new scientific reports are vetted by the body mean that their reports are reliant upon studies that are at least five years old; an eon in the context of the rapidly changing climate. On a more hopeful note, Martin also outlines how recent events have given a cause for optimism as just in the past twelve months, an alternative economic narrative and vision for the future around poverty and environmental issues is starting to take shape. If you are interested in Martin's interview, we also recommend that you listen to our interviews with Kate Raworth, Jason Hickel and the Drawdown Agenda Podcast, our podcast exploring the solutions behind Project Drawdown.

About a decade ago, Simon Moss co-founded Global Citizen with a few friends in Australia. It has since grown into a behemoth of global advocacy on issues related to ending extreme poverty around the world. I've known Simon for years and have watched Global Citizen evolve over the years. So, I thought it might be useful and interesting to learn from him how an advocacy group like Global Citizen is adapting to broader geopolitical shifts. How does a group focused on ended extreme poverty respond to China's increasing influence in the global development space? How does it adapt to the withdrawal of the United States from its traditional role as a champion of global health and anti-poverty programs? I put these questions and more to Simon Moss in this enlightening and lively conversation about the future of global advocacy on issues related to sustainable development and fighting extreme poverty. We kick off discussing the origin story of Global Citizen before having a longer conversation about new trends in global advocacy work. Global Citizen is probably best known for its annual music festival in Central Park in New York that takes place during UN week, bringing together music stars, NGO leaders and government officials on stage in an effort to catalyze action on key global issues like polio eradication or girls education. Simon Moss explains the pros and cons of using a major event like a rock concert to leverage concrete policy outcomes. If you have 25 minutes and want to learn where international advocacy is headed in the Trump era, have a listen.

Amanda Gardiner, Vice President of Global Sustainability & Social Innovation at the world’s largest education company Pearson joins us for this week’s Spotlight interview. During this personal and insightful podcast we get an insider’s perspective on the opportunities Amanda is seeing for Pearson and other businesses to integrate sustainability into core business. Amanda shares details as to why she is excited about growing investor interest in social and environmental issues, but frustrated by the legacy of philanthropic donations. During our conversation Amanda gives her personal advise on balancing a core drive to make a lasting societal difference - with being a wife and mum. And her advice at the end of our conversation on how to get going in your career is invaluable: “don't always listen to all the advice you are given; take risks; and get stuck into the business.” Amanda leads the global team at Pearson responsible for integrating social, economic, and environmental issues into business strategy and operations, with a key focus on innovating and delivering value to underserved communities. Prior to this Amanda was Pearson’s Director of Global Advocacy & Partnerships 
- working closely with organisations such as the UN and the World Economic Forum. She has been on the Board of the Global Partnership for Education, a programme specialist for the United Nations’ Development Program’s Business Call to Action and a consultant for UNESCO – the United Nations Educational, Scientific, & Cultural Organization.

The International Rescue Committee is a well known force in humanitarian aid. As the organization has continued to evolve since 1933, they have literally written the book, multiple times, on how to best serve those in need. My guest for today's 176th Terms of Reference Podcast is Jodi Nelson who is IRC's Senior Vice President, Policy and Practice. Jodi has overall strategic and operational responsibility for IRC program technical units – including Research and Evaluation and Global Advocacy and Strategic Communications. And, for long time listeners, you already know all this as she was also a guest way back in 2014 on show number 33. What I love about this conversation is its focus on how IRC is innovating through three specific lenses: First how do we get get enough of the right aid to the right people, second, how do we shift from planning the help the social sector delivers in terms of activities, to one of outcomes and finally, how do we ensure programming is designed based on the best available evidence rather than inertia and antidote?

Dr Bruna Seu from Birkbeck's Department of Psychosocial Studies and Glen Tarman, Head of Global Advocacy at CARE International discuss some of the issues raised by Dr Seu's new book, written with Dr Shani Orgad (LSE) Caring in Crisis? Humanitarianism, the Public and NGOs (2017, Palgrave Macmillan). The issues raised by the book include the limitations of the "hit and run" approach to fundraising, where donors are bombarded with traumatic images designed to elicit financial donations without opportunities for further engagement with the issues at play; the challenge of not only increasing the overall value of donations from within the existing part of the British public which donates, but also the propensity of the wider public to become involved at all; and how to best respond to the desire for connectedness with the recipients of aid, which many participants in the research for the book expressed. • Caring in Crisis?
