Podcasts about Marshall Ganz

Welcome to Season 6 Episode 1 of the podcast. This season we will explore the overarching theme of hope as something we intentionally co-create through great strategy and action. I am incredibly honoured to be joined but not one but two "giants" in healthcare clinical leadership, Dr Don Berwick President Emeritus and Senior Fellow at at the Institute for Health Improvement and also special guest co-host Professor Catherine Crock Chair and Founder of the Hush Foundation. ( More complete bios in episode)       In this powerful conversation we again use Marshall Ganz's perfect story arc of self, us and now to explore Dr Berwick's own story and journey of healthcare improvement, we discuss how important it is not do this work alone and organise and bring others will us. We learn that there is method in mobilisation as beautifully demonstrated by the success of the 100, 000 lives campaign. Leadership remains the pervasive theme throughout and the call to action extends to all of us in healthcare but particularly to the highest levels of leadership to courage and kindness, to dare greatly, get rid of stupid stuff, deeply listen and engage clinicians and patients and be prepared to change mind and direction with new and involving information. Whilst a short podcast conversation cannot do full justice to the wealth of combined knowledge and wisdom of these two senior clinical leaders, I know you, like I, will gain so much from this one and I encourage you to explore more of the resources we discuss linked below. "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulder of giants"Sir Isaac Newton Links, References and Recommended Reads :https://www.ihi.orghttps://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/ihiturnonthelightsLink to IHI Dr Don Berwick and Dr Jessica Berwick ]https://youtu.be/kxZl8Kc0-S0?si=iWOdRAmt_rFuCGWN The Moral determinants of health Berwick DM.

     In S5 E14 I am delighted to welcome Pedja Stojicic, MD, MPH to the podcast. Dr  Stojicic is an instructor for the DrPH Program at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health teaching two courses - Enabling Teams and Enabling Large System Change. Pedja is passionate about enabling health leaders to use community organizing practices to advocate for equitable health and well-being. He currently serves as an executive lead for People, Power, Health https://www.peoplepowerhealth.org/ .        In the past, he has worked with the CMS, Center for Public Health Leadership, Primary Care Progress, Way to Wellville, Healthcare Anchor Network, Center for Health Progress, and many others. Previously, Dr. Stojicic has served as president and executive director of Youth of JAZAS, a Serbian NGO fighting HIV/AIDS, and as a consultant for the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Serbia implementing health care financing reform. Dr. Stojicic completed a fellowship at the Harvard Kennedy School studying Leadership and Organizing with Prof. Marshall Ganz and later worked as a member of Ganz's HKS Teaching Team. As a life-long activist, he currently serves on the advisory board of Leading Change Network, one of the largest global networks of social movement leaders.     In this incredible conversation Pedja tells us his own story of self before elaborating on the concept of narrative leadership and the practice and pedagogy  of community organising to enable positive social, environmental and political change. We discuss the story arc of Self, Us and Now ( articulated by Professor Marshall Ganz in his book People. Power, Change)  and why finding voice as clinicians and articulating our own story is a key first step to bringing others with us, building collective agency and taking action.      I learn more about work at People, Power, Health and HEART, an advocacy training program for courageous clinicians.      In challenging and uncertain times it is hard not to be inspired and energised by Dr Stojicic who aptly describes himself as  intellectual pessimist but action optimist. This conversation is an empowering call to individual and collective action. "Empowerment of individuals and communities is absolutely central. Getting the community involved in organising their own destiny has to be a key part of it" Professor Sir Michael MarmotLinks / References / Further Reading:Dr Pedja Stojicichttps://www.linkedin.com/in/pedjastojicic/People, Power, Health https://www.peoplepowerhealth.org/HEART program - advocacy training for courageous clinicianshttps://www.peoplepowerhealth.org/heartPeople, Power, Change Professor Marshall Ganz https://www.hks.harvard.edu/publications/people-power-change-organizing-democratic-renewal  The Mind Full Medic Podcast is proudly sponsored by the MBA NSW-ACT Find out more about their service or donate today at www.mbansw.org.auDisclaimer: The content in this podcast is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Two weeks on, there have been many discussions about the election and what the candidates handled well--and handled poorly. For more on this, KCBS insider Doug Sovern spoke with Marshall Ganz, the Rita E. Hauser Senior Lecturer in Leadership, Organizing, and Civil Society at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. This is The State of California.

Marshall Ganz joins The Great Battlefield podcast to talk about his career in politics and academia, starting in the civil rights movement, then with The United Farm Workers and at Harvard. His new book is "People, Power, Change: Organizing for Democratic Renewal".

What happens when we reduce people to mere data points in a world driven by economic values? In this episode, Marshall Ganz, the Rita T. Hauser Senior Lecturer in Leadership, Organizing, and Civil Society at the Harvard Kennedy School, discusses how health care and other systems risk dehumanization by reducing people to data points, driven by economic values rather than human complexity. He argues that real power is relational, emerging through interdependence and that social movements succeed by focusing on people-based power instead of wealth or authority. Social movements, he explains, are more than protests; they require sustained practices, relationship-building, and a commitment to values transformation to create a lasting impact. Reflecting on his experiences with Cesar Chavez, Marshall underscores the need for moral, accountable institutions and emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and practical engagement in driving change. His new book, People, Power, Change, champions hope as essential, believing in the possibility of meaningful outcomes even amid uncertainty.

Community organizing empowers patients, clinicians, and providers to advocate for necessary reforms. In this episode, Dr. Pedja Stojicic, Executive Director of People Power Health, discusses the urgent need for change in healthcare and the challenges faced by established organizations. He highlights the role of agency in health, arguing people experience better outcomes when they have control over their health future. Dr. Stojicic touches on the influence of Marshall Ganz's organizing principles, which emphasize building relationships and collective action as the foundation for change, and explains how these skills have been applied in diverse contexts, from climate change advocacy to improving healthcare policies in the U.S. He also urges listeners to consider the power of small actions in driving larger change, underscoring the importance of growing leadership and engagement within communities to create a more sustainable healthcare system.

Organizing people seems easier in the digital age, right? Just send out a blast email or create a Facebook group. My guest today, Marshall Ganz, believes to achieve real social change, we need to do much more than that.

Whether trying to influence involvement in foreign wars, fight for social justice, or win an election, effective organizing is crucial. Here's my 2012 conversation with MARSHALL GANZ, who dropped out of Harvard in 1964 to participate in Freedom Summer, worked for years as one of the lead organizers for United Farm Workers, and helped devise the grass-roots model for Obama's 2008 campaign. Now a lecturer in public policy at Harvard, I can say without reservation, we need to learn from him. You can find more at marshallganz.com

In this and the final episode of this second series I discuss the relationship between the Bible and organizing. The turn to Scripture to imagine and narrate politics is often assumed to be the preserve of authoritarian theocrats. But since the formal development of community organizing in the 1930s, and long before that, texts from the Bible are consistently used to both teach democratic organizing and envision the need for radical, democratic change. The use of Scripture in this way builds on long standing Jewish and Christian traditions of thought and practice.  I begin this episode by talking to Ernesto Cortes who was featured in episode 7 of the first series. In that episode he discusses his own formation as an organizer. Here he reflects on why he consistently turns to Scripture to frame the task of organizing and to train others in the work of building a more democratic society. The passage he unpacks is the story of Jethro and Moses in Exodus 18, which he reads as a way of envisioning democratic forms of leadership. In doing so, he self-consciously builds on Saul Alinsky's (S2.E2) use of Moses as a model for the role of the organizer. In the second part of this episode I talk to Marshall Ganz, another hugely influential figure in the contemporary development of grassroots democratic organizing. Marshall currently teaches at Harvard in the Kennedy School of Government. But he has a much storied career in organizing before that. He tells me about his involvement in various democratic movements as a way of narrating the role of Scripture and religion in his own life and the movements he contributed to. These include his involvement in the Civil Rights movement (and the role of the Black Church) and the United Farm Workers movement (and the role of the Catholic Church). He begins by reflecting on his Jewish upbringing. Later he talks through his re-engagement with Judaism and how this shaped the development of his influential public narrative approach which involves telling a story of self, us, and now. As a complement to Ernesto Cortes's meditation on leadership through the story of Jethro and Moses, Marshall reflects on the story of David and Goliath as a way of teaching strategy.GuestsErnesto Cortes, Jr. - for details see season 1 episode 7.Marshall Ganz is Rita E. Hauser Senior Lecturer in Leadership, Organizing, and Civil Society at the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University. He began organizing with the 1964 Mississippi Summer Project as part of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (see S2.E3). He then joined Cesar Chavez in his effort to unionize California farm workers, working with the United Farm Workers for 16 years (see S1.E3). During the 1980s he worked with grassroots groups to develop new organizing programs and designed innovative voter mobilization strategies for local, state, and national electoral campaigns. He eventually completed a PhD in sociology and came to teach at Harvard. His book, Why David Sometimes Wins: Leadership, Organization and Strategy in the California Farm Worker Movement was published in 2009, earning the Michael J. Harrington Book Award of the American Political Science Association. In 2007-8 he was instrumental in design of the grassroots organization for the 2008 Obama for President campaign. In association with the Leading Change Network he coaches, trains, and advises social, civic, educational, health care, and political groups on organizing, training, and leadership development around the world.

What can we learn from historical and contemporary cases about building organizations that engage, mobilize, and manage to wield influence on the political process? What kinds of infrastructural choices best support engagement and success in the long run?  Recorded on May 5, 2022, this panel explored the varied and changing terrain of collective action to reflect on the nature, promises, and pitfalls of associational power in the 21st century.

This panel was presented as part of the Matrix on Point event series and co-sponsored by the Center on Democracy and Organizing.

At the end of last year I published a book called How to Start When You're Stuck, and since then I have found myself seeing everything through the frame the book presents.My book is about overcoming resistance, procrastination and fear through something I call 'The 12-Minute Method', and in this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast I bring this idea into focus.I go back to the very start of my journey as a writer, to when I would find myself paralysed with my finger hovering over the 'post' button.You'll hear me describe five key principles for building your own 12-minute method and how maintaining a practice, forming habits, and committing to those things over time can lead to magical outcomes.Having applied the 12-Minute Method while I created it, I can now advise people how to build a 12-minute practice for their coaching business, and that is covered here, along with a lot of what I've learned about the Prosperous Coach approach and the developed thinking I've done around that.In this episode, I talk about:How to combine the 12-minute method with the Prosperous Coach to grow your coaching businessWhat I would recommend if I had to choose a 12-minute practice for coaches who want to grow their businessHow to nurture an authenticity practice that touches every aspect of your workSome specific 12-minute practices that you might choose, including the one I recommend most of allWhat represents real success, and how to identify it for yourselfI also talk about the impact that not starting something that you want to do can have on your life, and how that can be a vital driving factor in starting when you are stuck.Ultimately, this episode is about exploring who we want to become, how we become what we practise, and how we are always practising something.For information about my wider work and writing, visit www.robbieswale.com, and to buy his book, click here.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/communityThings and people we mentioned (that you might be interested in):- Mastering your personal brand https://www.robbieswale.com/mastering-your-personal-brand -

Marshall Ganz is the Rita E. Hauser Senior Lecturer in Leadership, Organizing and Civil Society at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. He teaches, researches, and writes on leadership, narrative, strategy and organization in social movements, civic associations, and politics. His conversation with Rod and Jal covers a number of topics including: the diversity and promise of today's young students; how teaching needs to go beyond just skill building to include a conceptual dimension of practice; the importance of defined and shared values when organizing around a cause; the difficult balancing act of an improvement agenda versus a transformative agenda; an emphasis on "heart, head, hands" when considering the why, how, and skills needed to make a change or define a new pedagogy;  and avoiding the trap of probability, focusing instead on possibility and hope. 

Organizing communities of color, working people, the disaffected, and politicos on the left and right has lit up our politics - from protests around George Floyd to the January 6th mobilization. What separates these different forms of organizing and are they improving public life or threatening it? A leading progressive organizer - Marshall Ganz - reflects on the high points of success, disappointments, and disasters. Damon Shoholm will discuss community organizing in Minnesota.

Dunn Street founder Stephen Donnelly was joined by federal member for Griffith, Shadow Minister for the Environment and Water, and former Student Unity alum, Terri Butler.In the spirit of the Marshall Ganz teachings of Public Narrative and Story of Self, Terri discusses her journey from a kid growing up in FNQ to student activist (one for the stu-pol folks circa 1997), to lawyer and then public office.  As it is Socially Democratic's “Women in Politics” month, Terri discusses the landmark Respect@Work report and the Morrison Government's missed opportunity to address workplace sexual harassment, she ask's what it takes to get punted from the Ministry (because clearly anonymous payments for a Minister's legal fees is ok) and unpacks the cost of tearing up an over-budget French submarine contract to replace it with a more expensive UK/US one.The presenting sponsor of the Socially Democratic podcast is Dunn Street.

I recently got back from a girls' trip to Dakar, Senegal that completely re-energized me.     What was it that made this vacation so amazing?    Was it the spa, the food, or the shopping?    It was definitely all of these things and much more.     But one thing stood out.     Our conversations showed me one specific and important lesson about the power and significance of storytelling.    In this episode, I share what that important lesson was and why it matters for you on your creating journey.  I also share the 8 key elements you need as you begin to craft your own story. Everyone has a story that shows the world who you are and what you have to offer. So it's time you learn how to tell yours!   About: The Reframe to Create podcast is hosted by Joy Spencer, an Executive Leadership and Storytelling Coach, Speaker, and Organizational Development Consultant working with professionals and leaders at all levels within organizations.  Joy leverages over 17 years of experience she gained while working to champion change in social justice movements, including those related to global access to essential medicines and consumer advocacy for online privacy.  This work required a dogged commitment to not merely challenging the status quo, but to reimagining and working towards creating an ideal future.  It is this commitment to creating that has shaped Joy's coaching philosophy and approach today.

Marshall Ganz blev dannet af kampen for borgerrettigheder i 1960’erne, han var med til at lave den bevægelse, der gjorde Obama til præsident, og nu hjælper han med at skabe sociale bevægelser over hele verden. I denne langsomme samtale fortæller han sin egen historie, om hvorfor de progressive har brug for åndelighed og religion, og hvorfor det er utroligt svært at få en social bevægelse til at blive en succes.

This episode discusses the nature and purpose of leadership in organizing, how it is defined and understood, who are leaders, the difference between leaders and organizers, and what their respective roles are in the shared work of organizing. The understanding and practice of leadership in organizing is very different to that put forward in most leadership training programs, institutes, and business schools. It is counter cultural and embodies a deep wisdom about leadership that can be applied in many if not most institutional settings, particularly in congregational ones.GuestsElizabeth Valdez has nearly 40 years of organizing experience. Having begun her work as an organizer in El Paso on the US-Mexico border, she has since organized in the Rio Grande Valley, San Antonio, and now Houston where she is the lead organizer of The Metropolitan Organization, the IAF affiliate there. She is a senior organizer with the West/SouthWest IAF and has pioneered work to address infrastructure, employment, housing, and medical needs in the region.Bishop Douglas Miles has over 50 years of experience combining congregational ministry with leadership in addressing community needs of one kind or another.  This work began with setting up the first homeless shelter with accommodations for women and their children in Baltimore in the early 1970s and has continued on with innovative initiatives to address addiction, educational needs, and starting an alternative juvenile sentencing program. He co-founded Baltimore's Interfaith Alliance and was a key leader in the development of BUILD, the IAF affiliate in Baltimore, of which he has twice been its Co-Chair.  And as a leader, he has trained many organizers. In his day job, he has built up and pastored large and thriving churches in Baltimore and Memphis.Resources for Going DeeperJeffrey Stout, “The Authority to Lead,” Blessed are the Organized: Grassroots Democracy in America (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2010), Chapter 8; Noelle McAfee, “Relationship and Power: An Interview with Ernesto Cortes, Jr. (1993),” in People Power: The Community Organizing Tradition of Saul Alinsky, eds.

If someone had told you on January 19th that a skinny young woman from L.A. would upstage the inauguration of our new President Joe Biden, dramatic performances by J.Lo and Lady Gaga, and even the joyful swearing-in of our first female VP, Kamala Harris, you might’ve been dubious. But the effervescent Amanda Gorman outshone all the […]

In 2019, the 72-million strong Millennial generation (23-to-38-year-olds) quietly surpassed the Baby Boomers as America’s largest living generational cohort. In the 2020 election, they made their voices heard with a roar. Not only did younger voters—and particularly younger voters of color—turn out to vote and organize for candidates in record numbers, they also provided the margin of victory for Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in key states like Michigan, Arizona, and Pennsylvania. Mark Gearan is director of the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School and the Don K.

The building of the Sunrise MovementEver wondered how the Green New Deal was catapulted onto the national agenda in the United States?It’s impossible to answer this question without talking about the Sunrise Movement: the movement of young people in the United States who are uniting to stop the climate crisis.In our latest Faces of Change podcast, Marshall Ganz sits down with Dyanna Jaye, Sunrise’s Co-Founder and Organizing Director, to chart the rise of a movement that has rocked the political establishment, and to learn about Dyanna’s own journey to climate justice leadership.Dyanna shares Sunrise’s movement building ‘DNA’, taking us from the moment they were thrust onto the national stage after the high profile sit-in protest outside Nancy Pelosi’s Office with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, through to how they are scaling a national movement driven by thousands of young people in local communities at this time of social distancing and deep uncertainty.Dyanna and Marshall also explore the power of sustained learning for building powerful movements and how we can seize this very moment to create the change our communities want.Get ready for an hour of learning, inspiration and hope. This one is well worth it!Hosted by Marshall Ganz and produced by James Sleep.

Stefan Kollenberg is a Co-Founder of Crescendo. Crescendo delivers tailored microlearning for every employee inside of Slack. In our conversation, we discuss a number of themes. I really struggled to summarize this conversation but some of the things that stood out for me were:Using existing platforms to deliver a novel solution. Crescendo uses Slack to deliver micro-learning within organizations. I love this idea because it reminds me a past episode with Nick Scott, where he talked about trojan mice. Getting into large well secured spaces through tiny cracks instead of trying to get a trojan horse through the front gate. Their technology solution is so simple and leverages their other existing technology. Personal Learning Journey’s The ability to personalize learning is so important. When it comes to diversity, so many people are simply afraid to ask questions. Afraid to feel silly or look ignorant so they do not ask. In this platform, not only can people get customized learning journey’s they can do it over time. I am a big believer that change happens slowly, slowly and then suddenly. A long time frame of micro-learning versus one off workshops seems more lasting to me than what I have seen. Be vulnerable with your journey I admire Stefan’s willingness to talk about his struggles with addictions. It is important that we start to have these conversations in public. Stefan owns it and I admire that. He references something he calls radical ownership. In the conversation, I introduce two of my own favorite questions: How are you contributing to the problem? How are you contributing to the solution?Avoiding unproductive Conflict Like so many people Stefan has experienced toxic work cultures and has never wanted to go through that again. Part of his mission is to create spaces were people feel like they belong. Teams that are inclusive are a major part of the and his companies purpose is create more spaces were people belong. Disruption Metaphor Perhaps my favorite thing in this episode is Stefan’s metaphor for disruption. He describes disruption “like trying to change the current within a set of rapids. So you need to understand how the water flows and then set up interventions to create a path that is easier to take than the existing.” So simple, so visual and so great. It is all in the narrative Stefan referenced the work of Marshall Ganz from whom he learned a framework for storytelling. He describes it as follows: •Start of first with a story of self. Answer the question, why me? Why do you care about the cause or the work you do? Why do you care about the people you seek to serve. •Next follows the story of us. Why should we care about this issue as a group? How are we implicated? How would we benefit from solving the challenge or following the mission? •Finally, why now? Why is this relevant to do right now? In my own work we use a similar framework and I do like this some aspects of this framework.

Transcript“Every night... we are literally cheering and clapping and beeping our horns for people that in many ways we're unwilling to fight for so that they could have $15 an hour. We call people essential workers now who we treated for so long, like anything but essential.” -Rashad Robinson In this episode, our co-host, Dr. Celine Gounder speaks to Rashad Robinson, Alicia Garza, and Marshall Ganz about essential workers such as caregivers, domestic workers, and agricultural workers. They discuss how these low-paying jobs are often staffed by immigrants and people of color, and how due to systemic racism these jobs have historically been excluded from laws and unions that protect workers. Essential workers are now being given the false choice between going to work and risking their health, or staying home and not being able to feed their families. Alicia Garza is the principal at Black Futures Lab, the co-creator of the Black Lives Matter Global Network, and the strategy and partnerships director for the National Domestic Workers Alliance. Rashad Robinson is the President of Color of Change, a racial justice organization, and Marshall Ganz is a labor organizer and senior lecturer at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. This podcast was created by Just Human Productions.

This interview is with renowned agent of social change, Marshall Ganz. Marshall's early work as a Freedom Rider in the 1960s led to his helping Caesar Chavez accelerate the farmworker movement in the 1970s which ultimately led to his groundbreaking work to empower citizens in political campaigns, including the historic 2008 campaign to elect Barak Obama. Hear Marshall's take on America's Purpose and how each of us can help advance it through citizen actions in our local neighborhoods and beyond. Building on the wisdom of ancient scholars informed and intertwined with his years of on-the-ground experience, Marshall has a powerful and inspiring message for all of us. Enjoy!

Professor, author, and activist, Marshall Ganz discusses social change

What could we all accomplish if we could put relationships first and primacy in shared purpose? In this episode, Kate Hilton shares how her view of leadership has shifted over the years starting with her own experience of being told to get out of her own way.  From discussing the shift from “power over” to “power with” and discovering that the joy in work comes from what matters to people.  When you start with who people are vs. what you want to do and listen to what people’s biggest dreams and assets are, your strategy only gets better. Kate has an insatiable curiosity around how to help people make change on the basis of activating their agency, power and courage.  She also dances her face off with zero inhibition. As a lover of people, Kate is a studier of the human conditions for social change and we have a lot to learn from her so you won’t want to miss this fun and engaging conversation!     Show highlights: Kate’s circuitous career path that led her to where she is today Her love of people and of finding out their values and what drives them The experience of having Marshall Ganz as mentor Evolving as a leader and the hardest thing to let go of The value of breathing and getting perspective Mental failure exercise Psychology of Change and what are the things that get in the way of effective leadership Understanding power as a relationship MLK, Jr. definition of power as, “The ability to achieve purpose.” Combining resources together to create new power out of shared values Power as malleable because you have to build the relationships How to help one another through fears and motivations How you keep what matters front and center Are there enough people moving in the right direction vs. being at the effect of… Psychology of Change Framework: 1.  Unleashing people’s intrinsic motivation 2. co-designing with people most impacted by the change 3. co-producing in authentic relationships 4. distributing power and 5. adapting in action. Recognizing and mapping the system by people Shifting from what matters to me to what matters to other people Appreciative inquiry and motivational interviewing Power as being fundamentally about people Activating people’s agency is at the heart of the psychology of change and the ability to act In democratic societies, knowledge of how we combine to create is the basis of our commitment If not now, when?

Faces of Change is an ongoing series from the Leading Change Network to tell the stories of people developing leadership and enabling communities to create change all over the world.Marshall Ganz sits down with Nisreen Haj Ahmad to explore her inspiring journey to leadership.From a young girl forced to leave Palestine with her family, returning years later to advise the Palestinian team on peace negotiations with Israel, through to discovering organizing and committing herself to building new civic leadership across the Middle East

Throughout the world people who have accepted responsibility for leadership, their communities, and their allies are stepping up with courage and showing us that change is possible.Marshall Ganz sits down with leaders from around the world each month to explore how these people were called to leadership, how they organize their communities, and how they’ve begun building the power their people need to achieve real change.This month Marshall sits down with Art Reyes, the Executive Director of We the People-Michigan, a statewide multi-racial community organization that is building people-power for social and economic justice in Michigan.Their mission is to transform the politics of Michigan from the ground up, moving away from simply mobilizing around elections, but by embedding the organizing infrastructure needed for people to shape politics from their community up.In Marshall’s conversation with Art, we learn how he was called to organizing at an early age, and is leading an innovative – and challenging – effort in one of the most segregated states in America.We also hear how mastery of the organizing craft grows form sustained learning across diverse domains, issues and communities, and what it takes for people to mobilize the power they need to shape their communities, their politics and their state.

You can read the full transcript of this episode here.Hi, this is Anna Callahan and you’re listening to Incorruptible Massachusetts. Our goal is to help people understand state politics: we’re investigating why it’s so broken, imagining what we could have here in MA if we fixed it, and reporting on how you can get involved. Today I’m interviewing Erika Uyterhoeven and Matt Miller from Act on Mass.Act on Mass enables grassroots groups and activists to effectively advocate for progressive legislation at the state level and to hold State Representatives publicly accountable. We do this through a combination of political education, reporting, and campaign-style organizing and voter mobilization. Check out their amazing Transparency pledge at www.ActOnMass.org/pledge.Erika Uyterhoeven was a National Organizing Director for Bernie 2016 and was Head of Digital and Data for Momentum, supporting the 2017 UK snap election for Labour and Jeremy Corbyn. Most recently, she worked with Marshall Ganz on narrative and organizing trainings.Prior to his work at Act on Mass, Matt Miller has held positions as Field Director and Campaign manager on local electoral races (City Council & State Rep) in the Boston area. Act on Mass is a relatively new organization, and they’re tackling something that I think is really smart strategy. For comparison, Mass Alliance builds the coalition that we need to work together for all the issues we care about. Progressive Mass (we’ll hear from them in a future episode) has an amazing scorecard that allows anyone in the state to see if their rep is really as progressive as they say they are. Act on Mass has honed in on one of the main ways that our state house is broken, and they’re providing all of us a way around it. There are a lot of ways the establishment maintains power. Lack of transparency is a huge one, and another is to keep those few times that bills do become public as short as possible. This makes it almost impossible for us residents of Massachusetts to push our State Reps to do anything — by the time we find out that a bill is going to be voted on, they’ve already voted. Often there is less than 24 hours between when a bill comes out of committee and when the vote will be held, which can be barely enough time to read the bill.Act on Mass tackles this issue in some really brilliant ways, and it was exciting to hear about their work and how they see change happening at the state level.Without further ado, here is my interview with Act on Mass.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/incorruptible_massachusetts)

We spend lots of our time in medicine communicating through research – standardized, peer-reviewed, and of course crucial! But medicine is full of compelling humanistic narratives. The great Marshall Ganz once wrote, in an article entitled “Why Stories Matter,” that “A story communicates fear, hope, and anxiety, and because we can feel it, we get the moral not just as a concept, but as a teaching of our hearts. That’s the power of story.” This week, we focus on narrative medicine and we are joined by a master physician storyteller, Daniela Lamas, who just published her first book, called You Can Stop Humming Now: A Doctor’s Stories of Life, Death, and In Between. Also, we want to hear from you! To entice you to talk to us, we are going to give away a signed copy of Daniela’s book to a randomly selected commenter or emailer who sends us feedback, suggestions, or comments! You can write to us at audreyATrospod.org or tweet us @RoSpodcast or @HMSPrimaryCare, or leave a message on our facebook page. Just write to us or tweet at us or leave a facebook comment or email us, and your name will go into the hat for a random drawing. We’ll announce the randomly drawn winner next week!

Os melhores comunicadores são aqueles que se parecem com fazendeiros e não com caçadores. Os fazendeiros estão sempre plantando, colhendo, cultivando, tratando sua terra, de forma paciente e consistente. Já o caçador está focado no imediato, na caça que precisa matar, limpar e comer para não morrer de fome. Na construção de uma tribo, é natural que haja a tentação de adotar outras estratégias, porém, os bons profissionais mantém-se focado na mesma tribo, como o fazendeiro, trabalhando na nutrição daquela comunidade de forma consistente e focando no longo prazo. Quando Seth conversa com pessoas em posições de liderança, ele fala que a comunidade não pertence a essas pessoas, considere-se sortudo por ser ouvido. É fato de que a sua audiência sobreviverá sem você. A questão, como dito em outras lives, é: eles sentirão sua falta? O líder precisa de uma entrega contínua, manter a ligação com a comunidade, criando mudança e gerando tensão, para nutrir a comunidade e construir a ponte que cruzará o abismo. Marshall Ganz, professor de Harvard, nos propões três passos para a construção de narrativa: 1. História sobre si 2. História sobre nós 3. História sobre agora ~ Fale comigo: Instagram / Facebook / YouTube

MARSHALL GANZ dropped out of Harvard in ’64 to work on Freedom Summer, was a lead organizer for years with United Farm Workers, and led the grass-roots storytelling model for Obama ’08. He’s a lecturer in public policy at Harvard, having returned after 28 years to earn his BA and PhD. I participated recently in one of his public narrative trainings. For the mid-terms and beyond, we need to learn from him. Here’s our conversation, recorded in March 2012.

From the time she was five, Kelsey Wirth traveled with her dad Tim Wirth as he was up for reelection in Congress- every two years in a swing district. Kelsey says she grew up in the spirit of both unpredictability and standing up for what you believe in. She is comfortable with uncertainty, something she credits with her success as an entrepreneur (she co-founded Invisalign at 27) and her work behind the non profit Mothers Out Front, which uses grassroots organizing to tackle the dirty energy powering climate change. Mothers Out Front creates practical solutions against a threat that can feel hopeless. Recently, members mapped gas leak spots in their community, setting in motion a plan that could reduce methane from gas leaks Massachusetts by 50%. "We take an enormous threat and we break it down into pieces that enable mothers to take action and make meaningful change." The grief Kelsey felt while watching a documentary about polar bears in the Arctic with her daughters led to the birth of Mothers Out Front, but the work of Mothers About Front is local and not political in focus. Local moms and grandmothers take on often giant, entrenched utilities and corporate interests. Kelsey is hopeful and inspiring in her belief behind the power of the "snowflake" organizing model, made popular by President Obama in his Presidential runs and created by Marshall Ganz at Harvard. If you're an organizing nerd you'll love listening to how Mothers Out Front has grown!   

Dr. Marshall Ganz is now a senior lecturer in public policy at Harvard University. But he spent almost 30 years as an organizer with the Civil Rights Movement, United Farmworkers Movement, and more. When Marshall joined the Mississippi Summer Project in 1964, he faced a powerful turning point that called him to find his own courage. We talk about uncovering the hope you need to turn threats into challenges, and about the ongoing practice of leadership, which Marshall defines as: "taking responsibility for enabling others to achieve shared purpose under conditions of uncertainty."

Andrés es uno de los principales consultores de Silicon Valley. Estudió en Harvard en donde junto con su mentor Marshall Ganz trabajó en los mensajes de “Yes we can” de la campaña de Obama. Tiempo después trabajó en Google y más tarde se une a Airbnb, en donde fue uno de los principales responsables en la expansión internacional de la empresa, además de que fue uno de sus primeros 30 empleados. Andrés ha fundado varias startups. Esta es una entrevista muy muy inusual, porque Andrés se abre completamente y comienza a hablar con una honestidad brutal, que incluso en momentos es incómoda. La razón por la que debes de escuchar este episodio es que es casi imposible escuchar una reflexión tan profunda de alguien de este calibre, de alguien tan exitoso. Quiero que te mentalices desde el primer minuto que estas escuchando a alguien brillante que ha logrado lo que muy pocos.

Date: November 4, 2010 Featuring: Marshall Ganz, MPA, PhD, Lecturer in Public Policy, Harvard University Kate B. Hilton, MTS, JD, Principal in Practice, Leading Change; Leadership Coach, NHS England; Director, Organizing for Health If you don’t work in the health care system, it’s sometimes hard to understand why, when so much is known about better ways to take care of patients and better ways to deliver quality at lower cost, people don’t just “do it!” What’s so complicated? If one hospital or hospital system has dramatically lowered infection rates, trained its practitioners to work as teams, AND coordinates with outpatient clinics to help people with serious, chronic conditions avoid the emergency department, then why can’t all hospitals do this? What’s the excuse? Well, there is no “excuse” per se, but the reasons for the uneven and unreliable pace of change are many and complex. So much so that many health care improvement experts believe that the massive challenges facing health care systems in the US and in other countries, such as the UK, now require a new type of focus and mobilization. Where else in society have broad based, necessary changes come about before? How does this happen? Who makes it happen? Enter Marshall Ganz whose organizing in the civil rights movement and with everyone from farm workers to political candidates is legendary. This is the same Marshall Ganz, whose 2009 IHI National Forum keynote had several thousand attendees taking copious notes. Marshall and Kate Hilton are in the midst of a timely initiative dubbed Organizing for Health. In a nutshell, the two are harnessing some of the best known and proven practices from community organizing and successful social and political movements, to help spawn a new type of health care leader—one who can then mobilize colleagues and staff to create fundamental, organizational change. And we’re not just talking about a better run chart. It’s about new goals, new skills, new ways of working across all health care settings, new partnerships with patients and families, and new teamwork; it’s about meeting new cost and payment expectations, and the needs of an expanding number of patients coming into the US health care system with insurance for the first time. WIHI host Madge Kaplan welcomes Marshall Ganz and Kate Hilton to share a fresh vision for health care reform that could change business as usual in your organization.
