You spend a few hours of time putting all this together, but if you can position your agency to be more efficient, more profitable, it has more value. You might attract more producers, you might attract more carriers when you're running a good financial ship. Everything seems to rise with it. So, the rising tide lifts all boats. If you have a financially sound agency, it attracts better markets, better producers, better employees service team. So go for it.” Agency Nation Radio is where insurance professionals turn on the mic and share unscripted stories about leadership, technology, marketing, success, and failure—stories that helped make them the professionals they are today.

Immerse yourself in a critical discussion with Attorney Jennifer Becker of the Battered Women's Justice Project as we confront the dire consequences of gun violence within intimate partner relationships. Imagine the threat looming over many; the presence of a gun amplifying the risk of domestic homicide by fivefold. Together, we dissect the United States vs. Rahimi case, examining its potential impact on Second Amendment rights and the protective order process, while considering the broad repercussions for survivor safety and public policy.Amid the complexities of domestic violence legislation, we unravel the true efficacy of protective orders. Jennifer Becker illuminates their pivotal role in providing a lifeline for survivors, from shielding their physical safety to upholding their rights to financial independence and safe visitation. She also pulls back the curtain on the critical yet often unseen work of community collaboration, emphasizing the significance of local law enforcement, policymakers, and advocates working in concert to translate protective laws into protective practices that can save lives.As we wrap up, our focus shifts to the strategies aimed at curtailing gender-based gun violence, underscoring the importance of integrating criminal, civil, federal, and firearm purchase prevention measures. The conversation zeroes in on the meticulous task of maintaining accurate court records, vital for effective federal background checks, and the ongoing efforts to seal the cracks through which domestic abusers might access firearms. By fostering robust partnerships and rigorous policy enforcement, we underscore our collective call to action to enhance community safety and strengthen support for those most vulnerable to domestic abuse.

Discover the unsettling truths that Jennifer Becker from the Battered Women's Justice Project brings to light as we scrutinize the lethal crossroads of intimate partner violence and gun violence. In a poignant and in-depth conversation, we dissect the grim statistics that surround gender-based crimes and the amplified risk of domestic violence homicides when firearms are involved. Jennifer's legal expertise shines a spotlight on the chilling tactics of control and intimidation wielded by abusers, lending a voice to the stark realities faced by countless women.Venture with us as we challenge the myths surrounding domestic violence protection orders, revealing their multifaceted importance in safeguarding survivors. These orders are more than mere paper; they offer a lifeline that spans housing, custody, and financial support. We also examine the potential ramifications of Supreme Court decisions on firearm restrictions for those under restraining orders and stress the critical need for community collaboration in the enforcement of domestic violence policies, as fostered by the BWJP, to protect not just the survivors but also the entire community.Wrapping up this crucial discourse, we turn our focus to the implementation of laws at the local level to combat gender-based gun violence effectively. From the Battered Women's Justice Project's support for community-tailored policies to the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence and Firearms' four-pronged strategy, we unpack the nuance of disarming abusers and the ongoing efforts to bridge gaps for enhanced survivor protection.

    Jennifer Becker: Confronting Tech-Enabled Domestic Violence (Ep. 148) Legal Momentum's Jennifer Becker joined Joe Miller for Part 2 of our series on how perpetrators use technology to engage in domestic violence. Bio Jennifer Becker is Deputy Legal Director and National Judicial Education Program (NJEP) Senior Attorney. At Legal Momentum, Jennifer is engaged in a range of litigation, education, and policy on issues of gender-based discrimination and violence, including efforts to strengthen state gender-based violence statutes and reauthorization of the federal Violence Against Women Act. Jennifer has presented nationally and internationally on issues related to gender equality and gender-based violence. Jennifer is engaged in NJEP’s judicial training and technical assistance efforts and has developed and presented information about sexual assault and the intersection of sexual assault and domestic violence at national and state judicial conferences and multidisciplinary conferences. Jennifer is a former sex crimes and child abuse prosecutor, having served for seven years in the Bronx County District Attorney’s Office in Bronx, NY. During that time she handled hundreds of such cases throughout all stages of the criminal justice process. Prior to joining Legal Momentum, Jennifer was the Title IX Coordinator for the New York City public school system, a district of more than 1 million students and 135,000 employees. In that role she was responsible for overseeing gender equity compliance, including responding to and investigating sexual harassment and sexual misconduct in schools. Jennifer has developed and conducted trainings for attorneys and non-legal staff on substantive issues related to gender equity laws, discrimination, criminal law, and litigation techniques and strategies.  Jennifer is an active member of the New York City Bar Association Sex and Law Committee and co-chair of the New York County Lawyers Association Women in Law Committee. She is a graduate of CUNY Law School and Quinnipiac University.  Resources Legal Momentum Thermostats, Locks and Lights: Digital Tools of Domestic Abuse (N.Y. Times, June 23, 2018) News Roundup Facebook posts biggest single-day loss in stock market history Facebook’s market value dropped $119 billion Thursday after the company released a poor quarterly report.  The single-day drop was the biggest in stock market history and represented 19% of Facebook’s market cap , taking it down to $510 billion. In its quarterly report, Facebook reported usership that fell short of expectations by 20 million active daily users, and its  revenue fell short of analyst estimates by some $130 million for the second quarter. And at $1.72 Facebook’s earnings per share was also two cents lower than Thompson Reuters had estimated. Facebook and Amazon set lobbying records in 2Q18 Facebook and Amazon set new lobbying records for themselves in the second quarter, spending over $7 million combined on its lobbying efforts. This is according to lobbying disclosure records. Facebook spent $3.6 million to deal with the Cambridge Analytica and Russian hacking debacles. Amazon spent some $3.47 million.  Google spent its fair amount on lobbying as well, coming in at $5.9 million for the second quarter alone. Ali Breland reports in Politico. Is Trump doing enough to stave off Russian attacks on the midterms? President Donald Trump met with members of the National Security Council on Friday to discuss cyber threats to the rapidly approaching midterm election. The White House released a statement that said in part, “The president has made it clear that his Administration will not tolerate foreign interference in our elections from any nation state or other malicious actors.” The statement made no specific mention of Russia.   But the president tweeted that he is concerned that Russia might help Democrats—even though Russian President Vladimir Putin stated during the infamous Helsinki Summit that he wanted Trump to be re-elected in 2020. In addition, the Daily Beast reported that Russian hackers recently attempted to access Senator Claire McCaskill’s emails as she launched her 2018 re-election bid. Senator McCaskill acknowledged the attempt, saying it was “not successful”. House Democrats said that the White House’s effort to prevent election interference is insubstantial. They want a more robust action plan from the White House. And Politico reported that most states are unprepared for cyberattacks. Even though Congress appropriated $380 million back in March to help states replace their voting machines, Politico reports that only 14 states and DC plan to do so before he 2020 presidential election. Over in the UK, British lawmakers are proposing that tech companies be held liable for publishing fake news on their sites. Facebook signs binding agreement with Washington State not to help advertisers target customers on the basis of race Facebook signed a binding agreement with Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson last week in which the company promised not to allow advertisers to target users on the basis of race. This would include ads for housing, employment, credit, insurance and “public accommodations”. However, advertisers may not need to target race directly. They could target and exclude on the basis of race using non-racial proxies for race. Facebook could potentially still have the ability to cross-reference facial recognition data and users’ likes and dislikes to build psychometric profiles that show trends that correlate with race, which advertisers could then use without creating a paper trail.   DOJ Investigates Sinclair Finally, the Justice Department is now investigating whether Sinclair, Tribune and others engaged in anticompetitive behavior that affected advertising sales rates. The Wall Street Journal reports that the DOJ is looking into whether Sinclair and Tribune coordinated in such a way as to generate higher rates for tv ad spots. The DOJ had stumbled upon potential evidence of coordination practices as it was reviewing Sinclair’s proposed $3.9 billion acquisition of Tribune, which is now in the hands of administrative law judge after the FCC voted unanimously not to approve the acquisition.
