In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with Luis Miranda, one of New York, and the country's, most dynamic cross-sector leaders, with more than four decades of experience in government, business, politics and advocacy, community development, and the arts. Miranda is the founding partner of the MirRam Group, founding president of the Hispanic Federation, and board chair of the Latino Victory Fund, the Public Theater, and the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance. In the words of his son Lin-Manuel, Miranda is relentless.   We begin with Miranda's childhood and formative years in Vega Alta, a small town in Puerto Rico where he was born and raised before leaving for New York to pursue a PhD in clinical psychology at NYU. Although he left Puerto Rico as a very young man, the place has remained central to his identity and family — and, as beautifully told in the award-winning HBO documentary Siempre, Luis, a place he returns to regularly, including to lead much of the rebuilding effort after hurricanes Irma and Maria.   Once settled in New York, Miranda discovered that work as a clinical psychologist didn't suit him, but the city “fit like a glove.” Inspired by his parents, who were deeply engaged in public service, Miranda became a community activist, first via nonprofit organizations, then in government when he “came to understand the role that politics can play in changing lives, making communities better.” Miranda would go on to serve in three Mayoral administrations — Koch, Dinkins and Giuliani — and became increasingly involved in local, state, and national politics, helping to elect officials to the New York City Council, the New York State Assembly, and all of New York's recent representatives in the US Senate: Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton, Charles Schumer, and Kirsten Gillibrand. Miranda also chairs Latino Victory, focused on building power in the Latino community by electing more Latinos to office.   We end with a discussion of the arts — and the ways in which Miranda's commitment to the arts, politics, community activism, and inclusion all come together. His many recent and large-scale arts projects include bringing Hamilton to Puerto Rico as part of the hurricane recovery effort, leading the restoration of the United Palace theater in Washington Heights, and chairing the board of The Public Theater, where he is leading its Fund for Free Theater campaign. “The arts feed the soul; they bring people together,” Miranda says. “We have to ensure they are accessible.”   Thanks for listening!

Kelly speaks with Mayra Macías, the Executive Director of the Latino Victory Fund, about the 2020 election, the presidential debate, and the importance of Latino voters.

If you've listened to the podcast before, you'll know that we like to discuss how people of all identities experience the process of political fundraising. After all, money can ultimately determine who is considered a "credible" candidate. There are several organizations that are working to even the money-playing field for candidates of all backgrounds. Daniela Fernandez is the Finance Director of the Latino Victory Fund, a progressive organization looking to grow Latino political power by increasing Latino representation among elected officials and building a base of Latino donors. She joins the Money in Politics podcast to discuss the work of the Latino Victory Fund and the experiences of Latino candidates.

Melissa Mark-Viverito, vice president of strategic engagement for the Latino Victory Fund and former New York City Council speaker, joins The Brian Lehrer Show to survey how Latino voters are feeling about and voting in the midterm elections. Also joining the show is John Della Volpe, director of polling at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics, who talks about the latest polling on young voters.

Moderated by David Birdsell, Dean of the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs, the program starts by showing a documentary film regarding the access to the right to vote guaranteed in the constitution using North Carolina for the case study of the issues and taking a close look as it relates to national security, terrorism, social justice and human rights protections against radical public policies. The panelists include: Ezra Rosenberg of the Voting Rights Project at Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights under the Law, Melissa Mark-Viverito of the Latino Victory Fund, and Susan Lerner of the Common Cause of New York. A Q & A follows the discussions   

Political Power The proactive strategy of Latino Victory to build power through elections is a recipe for success. They focus on grooming and training candidates who represent their community’s values, empowering Latino voters, and developing a pipeline of Latino donors. The proof is in the pudding: great Latino candidates are exploding Latino turnout. Demographics Latinos represent 18% of the U.S. population and natural-born Latinos are the fastest part of demographic growth. Half of them live in states that are not battleground states, which means that most candidates ignore them. In addition, Latinos only make up about 1% of all elected officials. The 2016 election shook this dynamic up, the way that Prop 187 mobilized Latinos in California. Four of the most competitive U.S. Senate races are in Latino states: Texas, Florida, Arizona, and Nevada. Latino issues are American issues Surveys show that Latinos prioritize on the issues just like most other Americans. Healthcare tops the list, followed by a strong economy, good jobs, education, and the environment. “You could just as easily call a Latino Victory Fund, "American Victory Fund”.” Find out more: Cristóbal Alex is the President of Latino Victory, an organization that works to grow Latino political power by increasing Latino representation at every level of government and building a base of donors to support this critical work.

David French of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America discuss former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile's revelations that Hillary Clinton funded and controlled virtually every aspect of the 2016 Democratic primaries, concluding that the system was rigged against Bernie Sanders.  They also pop some popcorn after Virginia election filings show the Ralph Northam campaign considered media work from the Latino Victory Fund an in-kind contribution, which seems to include the horrific ad showing a supporter of Ed Gillespie trying to murder dark-skinned children.  And they are stunned and a bit amused as a departing Twitter employee briefly shuts down President Trump's Twitter account.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud the Washington Post, not only for condemning the Latino Victory Fund ad that depicts Republican voters in Virginia as racists that want to run over minority kids but also slamming Democratic nominee Ralph Northam - whom the Post has endorsed - for a weak response to the ad.  They also grieve for the victims of Tuesday's terrorist attack in Manhattan and get frustrated as the media immediately tried to rule out Islamic terrorism and then insist it's not a time for politics once they find out it was related to radical Islam.  And they groan as congressional Republicans are forced to postpone the release of their tax reform bill because of ongoing disagreements within the party.

A CATO Institute poll: 71% of Americans say political correctness has silenced discussions society needs to have, 58% have political views they’re afraid to share. The Latino Victory Fund pulled their ad that featured an Ed Gillespie supporter attempting to run down minority children. Two major studies showed that mankind has more empathy for pooches in dire circumstances than suffering people. Did you fill up with gas before the 12-cent increase today? A Chuck Schumer beauty: Trump calls for end to Diversity Visa Program after the terrorist attack in New York City. Papa John's, the official pizza company of the NFL, expressed disappointment about the league's ongoing player protests during the national anthem.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America react to the indictments of Paul Manafort and Rick Gates and note that none of the charges appear to be connect to the Trump campaign.  They also discuss the guilty plea from former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos on charges of making false statements.  And they are aghast as a new ad from the Latino Victory Fund paints anyone who supports the GOP candidate for governor in Virginia as racists who want to kill minority children.
