In this powerful episode of Everyday Conversations on Race, host Simma the Inclusionist sits down with Emmy award-winning journalist and author Dion Lim to confront a question too many are avoiding: "Why has the conversation about anti-Asian hate gone silent"? Dion takes us behind the headline-making DM that changed her career — an anonymous video of an elderly Asian man being brutally beaten in San Francisco — and reveals what it took to bring stories like his to light when her own newsroom resisted.  From the murder of Vincent Chin to COVID-era scapegoating, she traces the deep historical roots of anti-Asian racism in America. She explains why the silence after the peak of BLM and Stop AAPI Hate is not just disappointing — it's dangerous. Topics in This Episode: Why anti-Asian hate is "as old as the Gold Rush" — and why we're erasing that history The cultural shame that keeps Asian American victims from speaking out The death threats and hit pieces Dion faced for reporting the truth How DEI rollbacks are affecting communities right now What Black-Asian solidarity actually looks like on the ground The role food, music, and pop culture play in bridging racial divides Dion's new book Amplify: My Fight for Asian America (foreword by Olivia Munn) You'll hear: The anonymous 12-second DM that changed everything — a video of an elderly Asian man being attacked while collecting cans in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood Why Asian American victims often don't come forward: cultural conditioning, family shame, distrust of media, and generational silence Anti-Asian hate isn't new — from the Gold Rush to Vincent Chin to Yik Oi Huang and Vishal Ratanapakdee How COVID gave people permission to blame Asians — and how "kung flu" and "China virus" language fueled violenc The backlash Dion faced: a Washington Post hit piece orchestrated by a former DA's team, death threats from people who denied anti-Asian hate was real Why the Asian American community isn't monolithic — income inequality, cultural differences, and the "model minority" myth The connection between Black and Asian communities — shared history, manufactured division, and what solidarity actually looks like on the ground Grassroots response: patrol groups, the Blue Angels in Oakland, and the role of everyday people showing up for each other Simma's own history with the original Rainbow Coalition — The Young Patriots, the Black Panthers, the Young Lords, and Asian groups working together in the late '60s and '70s The immigrant parent dynamic: silence as survival, pride as a long time coming, and what it meant when Dion's father finally expressed pride after her 20/20 appearance What Dion wants for the next generation: be loud, find your community, take care of your mental health, and don't be afraid to take up space TV recommendation: Warrior — the series about the rise of the Tongs and how Chinese workers were treated in California The ask: get Amplify on the New York Times bestseller list — and why it matters beyond sales Key Learnings: Silence is not safety. When institutions stop talking about race, hate doesn't disappear — it goes underground and grows. The rollback of DEI programs and race coverage in newsrooms makes communities more vulnerable, not more comfortable. Anti-Asian hate has deep American roots. This isn't a COVID story. It goes back to the Gold Rush, the Chinese Exclusion Act, and the murder of Vincent Chin. Understanding that history is the first step to not repeating it. Cultural conditioning keeps people quiet. Many Asian Americans are raised to not cause a fuss, not draw attention, not inconvenience others. That silence protects no one — it protects the people doing harm. Division between communities is often manufactured. The tension between Black and Asian communities didn't come from nowhere. It was seeded deliberately, and it dissolves quickly when people actually get to know each other. You don't have to share someone's experience to show up for them. The people who moved Dion most weren't Asian — they were people from every background who said "I didn't know, and now I do."

In this episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Katelyn Bledsoe and Lauren Stewart to bring listeners inside Washington, D.C., with exclusive conversations from members of Congress. Recorded during the Republican Study Committee's media row, the episode covers key issues shaping the nation—from the Working Family Tax Cut Act and its impact on everyday Americans to the growing push for permitting reform aimed at lowering costs and boosting economic growth. Beyond policy, the conversation highlights the critical role of grassroots activism, with members of Congress emphasizing how everyday Americans drive real change. Listeners will also hear personal stories from lawmakers about their own “one small step” into public service—and even which Founding Fathers they'd most like to meet.

BrownTown continues the "Chinga La Migra" series discussing how ICE ain't shit with Rey Wences of Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) and Any Huamani of Brighton Park Neighborhood Council (BPNC). Fast-forwarding from the last conversation in summer 2025 focusing on the criminal-legal battles against ICE, the team reflects on the experiences, strategies, and lessons learned from resisting and building power during Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago in fall 2025. Now that the consistent bombardment of ICE violently kidnapping our neighbors is not as ever-present nor making national headlines, how do hyperlocal and regional resistance cadres of everyday people, community-based organizations, and larger policy networks channel energy and, in some cases, new found awakening into sustainable material change? How do we balance responding to the moment effectively while unapologetically exposing the conditions that got us here in the first place? Here's their take. Originally recorded April 17, 2026.   GUESTS Rey Wences is a longtime community organizer and advocate with over a decade of experience championing immigrant justice. Born in Mexico City and raised in Chicago, Rey co-founded the Immigrant Youth Justice League and later Organized Communities Against Deportations, leading impactful campaigns such as erasing the Chicago and Cook County gang databases. Their work spans grassroots organizing, direct action, and communications at the local and national levels. Before serving as Chicago's First Deputy of the Mayor's Office of Immigrant, Migrant and Refugee Rights, Rey was Director of Communications at Organizing Power in Numbers, a national economic justice organization. Rey currently works at Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR). Follow ICIRR on Facebook, Instagram, and X. Any Huamani is an organizer in the Southwest Side. Her and her family migrated to Chicago's North Wide from Peru when she was 5. Any grew up in the West Side of Chicago where she saw the disinvestment and an interest grew in her to find out why. Since then, Any volunteered in different non profits and became an organizer the Chicago Hotel Strike in 2018. She is now the Immigration Defense Coordinator at Brighton Park Neighborhood Council (BPNC). She also co-leads Treatment Not Trauma, a city wide mental health campaign calling for the reopening of public mental health centers and a citywide nonpolice crisis response. In her free time, she spends time with her two boys and running.

REMINDER! Join us TONIGHT at 6pm CT for happy hour live with Cory Haala, author of “When Democrats Won the Heartland.”Other than the fact that they are such blood-sucking greedheads, why have today's multibillionaires, high-tech barons of AI become so despised by so many grassroots Americans?By “so many,” I mean they've sparked a hell-raising mass revolt, originating in farm country, spreading through working-class suburbs, into community colleges, and other centers of Middle America – now including environmental, religious, and democracy movements.This is a genuine populist rebellion of workaday families against the corporate oligarchy of Musk, Zuckerberg, Altman, Bezos, and other “geniuses” of artificial intelligence. The billionaires are racing to install millions of supersmart A.I. robots in nearly every workplace, from manufacturing to health care, farming to finance.Amazingly, the tech elites consider themselves to be “humanitarians,” for they say turning work over to A.I. would free humans to… well, do what? Geniuses can't bothered with such mundane details, so they're not interested of soon-to-be displaced masses of people who'll be “made redundant.”So – hello – people are revolting (in the very best sense of that term). Interestingly, some of the strongest backlash is coming from a huge group generally assumed to be politically apathetic or enthusiastic about all technology: Young people. Columnist Michelle Goldberg reports that several tech honchos who've given college commencement speeches this month were startled when they launched into gushing praise for the glorious future promised by A.I. They were practically driven off-stage by roaring cascades of boos from the students!The pain that A.I. profiteers are imposing is one thing, but an even greater cause of this spreading revolt is the imperious arrogance and stupidity of royal elites who think ordinary people don't matter. Did these oligarchs never hear about the revolution of 1776?Do something!To stay on top of the rapid development of AI and its impact on the public interest, check out the work of the AI Now Institute, ainowinstitute.org.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Episode #539: In his analysis of Myanmar's democratic transition, Elliot Prasse-Freeman highlights the failures of a system that was inherently flawed from its inception. Although the 2010s brought real change to some, the military also retained significant control, making any possibility at political reform superficial. This left marginalized groups without meaningful change, and created a transition that, as Prasse-Freeman says, was “moribund” from the start. Economic reforms during that time emphasized privatization and the commodification of land, disregarding the needs of small-scale farmers. These policies led to land grabs, exacerbating the vulnerabilities of those already struggling. In parallel, he notes that this period failed to address ethnic justice, leaving the grievances of non-Bamar communities, including the Rohingya, unaddressed, and further deepening divisions. Grassroots activism emerged as a critical response, driven by frustration with both the military and the NLD's failure to enact real reform; local groups symbolized sustained resistance, organizing actions to reclaim land and assert their rights. Despite the many flaws, the resilience of the people of Myanmar remains evident. As Prasse-Freeman poignantly states: “One of the things that they talk about is that you have to make people be their own heroes! But in order to do so, you have to act like a hero yourself, because people aren't prepared to be their own heroes in front of a military that's constantly exploited them.”

“The Black church has the ability to do so much—and it can do so much more.” Dr. Charles Williams, pastor of historic King Solomon Baptist Church, joins Detroit is Different for a powerful conversation on faith, family, organizing, and the sacred responsibility of serving Black Detroit. Dr. Williams opens up about how Dr. Charles Simmons of the Hush House, a member of King Solomon, connected him to the legendary church over a decades ago—a house of worship where Malcolm X delivered “Message to the Grassroots,” Dr. King spoke, Joe Louis gave, and generations organized for freedom. Now Michigan Chair of the National Action Network, Dr. Williams reflects on his Detroit roots, his family's migration story, and the wisdom he gained as a young reverend from Rev. Horace Sheffield II and Rev. Jim Holley. He shares how King Solomon continues to be more than a church: “a social center,” a place of advocacy, community action, and healing. With his wife's work in health and well-being shaping their ministry, and his doctorate from the University of Michigan grounding the Black Church's role in the Black family, this interview bridges Detroit's past and future.

Because getting the time isn't about chasing. It's about understanding.

Beauregard Parish Farm Bureau President David Smith has spent a lifetime around agriculture. Today, he grows corn, soybeans, wheat and other crops near DeRidder, while also serving on the Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation state board and the Cultivating Connection Mental Health Committee.In this episode of the Louisiana Farm Bureau Podcast, Smith joins us from the field to talk about the weight farmers carry during tough economic times, unpredictable weather and the pressure of keeping a family farm going for the next generation. He reflects on growing up during the farm crisis of the 1980s, watching his father carry the stress of farming, and how those same pressures show up in different ways today.Smith says farmers are often “fixers,” but that does not mean they have to carry everything alone. His message is simple: check on each other, listen, and do not be afraid to talk about what is really going on. This conversation is part of Louisiana Farm Bureau's Cultivating Connection effort, encouraging farmers, ranchers and rural communities to have honest conversations about stress, mental health and the importance of staying connected.Listen to David's last episode on the podcast here.Louisiana Farm Bureau's Cultivating Connection website with mental health resources.American Farm Bureau's Farm State of Mind websiteFind a Louisiana Farm Bureau office in your parish here.Become a member of Louisiana Farm Bureau today.

Chuck And Julie Show with Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden Ron Hanks's Lawsuit challenging the State's semi open primary, proposal to suspend the federal gasoline tax CD3 candidate Ron Hanks files lawsuit challenging the State's semi open primary with alarming data on unaffiliated voters. Plus Trump puts Dems in a bind with his proposal to suspend the federal gasoline tax. This episode of The Chuck and Julie Show features CD3 candidate Ron Hanks discussing his primary challenge against Jeff Hurd and a landmark lawsuit targeting Colorado's semi-open primary system. The hosts also examine allegations of campaign finance fraud ("smurfing") and the severe financial instability currently facing the Colorado Republican Party. The CD3 Primary and the Challenge to Incumbency Ron Hanks details his recent performance at the CD3 assembly, where he successfully campaigned despite what he described as rule-bending by the committee to favor incumbent Jeff Hurd. Hanks notes that while Hurd was allowed to speak for 11 minutes despite a 3-minute limit, he was ultimately booed by the assembly and left through a side door. Hanks characterizes Hurd as "timid" and alleges that Hurd and Speaker Johnson pressured the Trump administration to rescind endorsements of other conservative candidates by threatening to "scuttle the America First agenda." Hanks maintains that CD3 must not be a "sacrificial lamb" for establishment Republicans who vote against Trump's tariffs or for protecting congressional misconduct. Legal Challenges to Colorado's Primary System A central theme of the discussion is the lawsuit filed by Hanks and other candidates to exclude unaffiliated voters from Republican primaries. Hanks argues that the current system violates the 14th Amendment and the right of private association by allowing non-members to decide party nominees. He presents data using "regressive methodology" showing that in Mesa County's 2024 primary, 10,000 of the 27,000 votes cast were from unaffiliated voters, significantly diluting the Republican base. The hosts express concern that the system is being "weaponized" to ensure establishment candidates win over grassroots conservatives. Financial Crisis and "Smurfing" Allegations The Colorado Republican Party is reportedly in a state of financial collapse, with approximately 400,000 in debt and only 12.55 in cash on hand. The hosts blame former leadership for "failure by design," citing excessive travel reimbursements and a lack of organized opposition to "jungle primaries." Additionally, the program highlights "smurfing" allegations against candidate Victor Marks. These claims suggest that Marks' campaign reported thousands of small donations from individuals who, when contacted, denied ever contributing to his campaign. Infrastructure and National Policy The episode concludes with a critique of Denver's Regional Transportation District (RTD). Chuck Boniwell notes that ridership has decreased by over 20%, yet the city continues to fund "bus rapid transit" projects that he argues are bankrupting the system. On a national level, the hosts praise Donald Trump's proposal to suspend the federal gas tax, viewing it as a strategic move to force Democrats into a difficult political position regarding inflation and taxpayer relief. The discussion underscores a deep divide between the Colorado Republican grassroots and the party establishment. With a critical court date approaching and the state party facing near-total insolvency, the outcome of the CD3 primary and the pending election lawsuit will likely determine the future trajectory of conservative politics in the state.

I am very excited to launch a very special series for Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. May is Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM), which annually celebrates the history, culture, and contributions of Jewish Americans to the United States.  There are no words to describe how ecstatic I am to welcome back Ethan Zohn for a third time! Ethan became a household name when he first appeared on Survivor: Africa, the third season of the legendary US reality TV competition. He won seven challenges and the title of “Sole Survivor.” He appeared on Survivor: All-Stars, where he won four challenges but lasted only 21 days, and returned to compete in the milestone season Survivor: Winners at War, where he only won one challenge and lasted 35 days.  Since Survivor, Ethan has become an influential social entrepreneur. With a portion of his Survivor: Africa winnings, he co-founded Grassroot Soccer (GRS). GRS is an adolescent health organization that harnesses the power of soccer to provide young people with the essential information, services, and mentorship they need to lead healthier lives. Since its inception, GRS has expanded to 60 countries in Africa and worldwide, has graduated 13 million youth, and has worked with scores of public—and private-sector partners.  He also raised his voice to fight cancer.  Cancer-free since 2012, Ethan Zohn has been a voice for fighters, survivors, and caregivers of all ages, even chronicling the gritty details of his entire cancer experience for People Magazine. While undergoing treatment, he ran and finished the New York City and Boston marathons to help spread messages of hope and resilience to the world.  Ethan is a champion for investment in new medical research and technology. He is an advisor to numerous hospitals and foundations, such as Cancer Buddy, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and Memorial Sloan Kettering.  As demonstrated by his charitable work, tzedakah, and community involvement, Ethan believes that Jewish values can achieve a better and healthier world. His inspiration to help heal the world stems from being taught at an early age the importance of community, a connection to the Jewish faith, and the preservation of Israel.  Ethan shares his deep bond to Judaism, his connection to the Jewish community, and his relationship with Israel by partnering with Jewish organizations that do critical work worldwide, such as BBYO, the Jewish National Fund, and Maccabi USA.  On this edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Ethan Zohn gave his take on Survivor 50, previews Grassroot Soccer's 25th anniversary, and how Grassroot Soccer is going to play a role with the World Cup coming to North America.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

Send Wilk a text with your feedback! (incoming msgs only - I can't reply) Many Americans now feeling we're too divided to agree on anything. Rich Harwood disagrees — and he has the stories to back it up.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes back Phil Purcell, Director of Planned Giving for the Central Territory of The Salvation Army, a veteran faculty member at The Fund Raising School, and nationally recognized expert on planned giving, nonprofit law, and charitable organizations. Phil joins the conversation fresh from leadership roles with the American Bar Association's charitable giving and organizations work, where he helps advance legal understanding across the nonprofit sector. Together, Bill and Phil tackle a topic that gets plenty of conference-room chatter but not always enough action: nonprofit collaboration, partnerships, and mergers. As Bill notes, everyone loves to say, “Those organizations should work together,” but actually making it happen can feel like trying to assemble IKEA furniture during a thunderstorm. The conversation begins with why nonprofits pursue partnerships or mergers in the first place. Phil explains that financial pressure is often one driver, especially when an organization has strong programs but a fragile bottom line. Grassroots organizations may also seek fiscal sponsorships or other partnerships because they have mission energy but not yet the fundraising base to sustain themselves. Other collaborations emerge from strategic opportunity, such as organizations with different strengths coming together to address a complex community challenge, or 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) organizations coordinating around advocacy and public policy. Bill adds that donors can be powerful catalysts, sometimes asking why two organizations serving similar missions, neighborhoods, or populations are operating separately when a combined effort might produce greater impact. Bill and Phil then move into the human side of mergers, where the spreadsheets meet the feelings, and sometimes the feelings bring snacks and a lawyer. Phil emphasizes that while boards ultimately decide whether a merger or partnership moves forward, the idea may come from staff, board members, volunteers, thought leaders, or major donors. Still, staff may understandably feel anxious about redundancy, job security, and organizational change. Phil stresses that mission alignment and culture must be addressed before the legal documents arrive on the scene wearing sensible shoes. Work styles, leadership expectations, office norms, governance habits, and organizational identity all matter. Outside consultants can help by conducting interviews, assessing cultural fit, facilitating strategic conversations, and helping leaders determine whether the whole really can become greater than the sum of its parts. The episode closes with Phil outlining the legal and structural issues nonprofits must consider once collaboration becomes serious. He advises organizations to start by understanding exactly who they are legally: their true legal name, articles of incorporation, bylaws, tax-exempt status, state and federal standing, and any unusual provisions that may have been forgotten in the filing cabinet of history. From there, a merger may require a plan of merger, articles of merger, decisions about which entity survives, and attention to state law differences. Phil also explains alternatives to full mergers, including fiscal sponsorships and supporting organization structures, each with its own responsibilities, agreements, and governance questions. Above all, he reminds listeners not to overlook donor intent, restricted gifts, leadership structure, and stakeholder trust. The takeaway is clear: nonprofit collaboration is complicated, emotional, legal, financial, and cultural; but when it strengthens mission, it can be well worth the work.
