Podcast appearances and mentions of Nadine Smith

I bet cash, US dollars, that you've heard “Don't Say Gay,” but have you met the leader behind the truth-anchored reframing of a Florida bill (HB 1577) designed to prevent us from honoring that people be gay (in my Quinta Brunson voice). Civil Rights activist Nadine Smith stops by class to talk about how much we've gained in the fights for racial equity and LGBTQ+ equality, why she founded Equality Florida, a statewide advocacy organization she continues to lead, in 1997, and she drops gems to help us all get closer to freedom including the importance of returning home to lead and having a local and state political strategy, looking to history for lessons to win the future, and organizing in community.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/teach-the-babies-w-dr-david-j-johns--6173854/support.

Jackson Women's Health dramatically changed the political scene. Still, just two years on, we are witnessing another watershed moment in the struggle for abortion rights. This Election Day, 10 states will vote on whether to enshrine abortion rights in their state constitution. Since 2022, every ballot measure to protect abortion rights has passed while every measure to restrict or weaken those rights has failed. Meanwhile, extremist Republicans are pushing for a total national abortion ban and seem to have Trump on their side.

For decades, the money on the anti-choice side has been going to investments in these local infrastructure. We don't operate like that on the progressive and political Democratic side. Most of our investments are going into the federal infrastructure, and that is the problem.” - Heidi L. Sieck“The governor in Florida has been so extreme.

Effect of targeted movement interventions on pain and quality of life in children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy: a pilot single subject research design to test feasibility of parent-reported assessmentsNadine Smith, Simon Garbellini, Natasha Bear, Ashleigh Thornton, Peta Watts, Noula GibsonAbstractPurpose: To determine the feasibility of using parent-reported outcome measures of the Paediatric Pain Profile (PPP), Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC) and Care and Comfort Hypertonicity Questionnaire (CCHQ) as repeated outcome measures of change at weekly intervals for children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy (CP). The secondary aim was to explore the efficacy of individualised movement intervention.Material and methods: In this pilot feasibility study a single subject research design was utilised. Three children with dyskinetic CP, completed 5 weeks of parent-reported baseline assessments, 8 weekly sessions of intervention and 5 weeks of follow up.Results: All children completed 18 weeks of the study, with no missing data. There was evidence of parent-reported improvements in their child's pain and care and comfort between the baseline and intervention phases.Conclusions: The PPP, SDSC and CCHQ were feasible to assess pain, sleep and comfort before and after an intervention in children with dyskinetic CP. There is preliminary evidence that individualised movement intervention as little as once a week may help improve pain, sleep and improve ease of care and comfort. Implications for rehabilitation: The Paediatric Pain Profile is feasible to identify and monitor pain, as frequently as weekly, in children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy (CP).There is preliminary evidence that movement can decrease pain in children with dyskinetic CP.Assessments and treatment in this group may be interrupted due to their complex health issues which may be a limitation when collecting repeated measures.

The move was a direct response to Disney's belated opposition to the recently passed Florida law restricting the ability of teachers to discuss sexual orientation and gender identity in schools. Disney has been criticized by many on the right and the left over its handling of what opponents have dubbed the “Don't Say Gay Bill.” We speak with Carlos Ball, law professor at Rutgers University, and Nadine Smith, executive director of Equality Florida, about how what's happening with Disney connects to other recent examples of corporations weighing in on LGBTQ issues.

Highlights:     “Chris Rufo, who of course has been on the front lines battling CRT, publicized a series of conversations revealing an appalling political agenda among the Disney woke executives to soak their theme parks and their movies with radical LGBT ideology.”“If the woke left thinks that these culture war battles are going to benefit them in any way, they are sorely mistaken. And that's because we now have data that shows that woke issues actually split the Democrat vote all the while uniting Republicans like never before”“These woke leftists at Disney are living in a very different realm far removed from reality! They don't realize that even Democrats, many hardcore Democrats, are opposed to what they're advocating, at the same time virtually all Republicans are opposed to it. That's not a winning formula for all things woke.”“#BoycottDisney is already trending on Twitter and we can imagine that that's just the beginning. If it's true that everything woke turns to shit, then we can be assured that the days of the Disney corporation are  indeed coming to an end.”Timestamps:     [01:40] On Karey Burke, president of Disney's General Entertainment Content, discussing how she is committed to seeing half of Disney's characters be LGBT and other minorities[04:26] Disney production coordinator Allen March talking about the need to craft stories specific to the LGBT community on a regular basis [05:53] On Disney's diversity and inclusion manager Vivian Ware revealing how the theme park eliminated all mentions of ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls [07:14] On Disney's activism partner Nadine Smith of Equality Florida arguing that Gov.

Nadine Smith has been fighting for equality for the LGBTQ community all of her adult life. She helped form the International Gay and Lesbian Youth Organization as a college student. She was co-chair of the 1993 March on Washington, which led to the first ever meeting between a sitting president and gay community leaders. In 1997, she founded Equality Florida and has been Executive Director there ever since. During our conversation, she talked about her incredible life as a journalist and activist but also shared many meaningful moments that have steered her.For more information on Equality Florida, please visit www.eqfl.org

Multiplayer games like Call of Duty: Warzone are blatant propaganda, but it feels like there are ways to play them "critically," reaping the positive social and collaborative benefits while supposedly filtering out the ideological effects. However, these games are designed to operate beyond the explicit and rational, and the more you play, and the more deliberately you marshal your psychic defenses, the more susceptible you risk becoming to these other persuasive mechanisms.  Read more essays on living with technology at https://reallifemag.com and follow us on Twitter @_reallifemag.

Nadine Smith, the Executive Director of Equality Florida, joins Kristan for a discussion on the work of her organization. Equality Florida was founded in 1997 and is the state's largest organization dedicated to ending discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

In this episode of Policy Matters, hosts Franz Buscha and Matt Dickson talk to Nadine Smith, the Director of the Centre for Public Impact. Previous to her current role, for many years Nadine was a civil servant at the Cabinet Office, working at the centre of UK government at the intersection of policy, politics and communications. Franz and Matt begin by asking Nadine about the mission of the Centre for Public Impact and how they look to influence policymakers and improve government. The conversation considers the problems that arise when public service provision is marketised and driven by performance targets and league tables, and how systems might be redesigned to be more responsive to the needs of citizens. Nadine, Franz and Matt then go on to discuss the possibilities for greater citizen involvement in decision-making and the ways in which we could potentially introduce more deliberative democracy in the UK.

Today's guest hosts are Edwith Theogene and Charlotte Hancock, Organizing Director and Communications Director for Generation Progress. During today's show they discuss the Equality Act, a key piece of civil rights legislation currently being considered by the Senate that would implement uniform legal protections for people regardless of gender and/or sexual orientation. These protections are critical for LGBTQ+ people in this country, whose protected status varies greatly from state to state and city to city. The Equality Act has already been passed twice by the House of Representatives. The first time it was passed, in 2019, then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to take it up for a vote in the Senate—but now, with a different party in control, the Equality Act is moving forward. Last week, it received its first Senate hearing. But the bill is still facing significant backlash that jeopardizes its chances of ultimately becoming law. To talk with Edwith and Charlotte more about the Equality Act and what it would mean for LGBTQ+ Americans, they're joined by Sharita Gruberg, the vice president of the LGBTQ+ project at the Center for American Progress, and Nadine Smith, the executive director of Equality Florida.

Nadine Smith is UK Director of the Centre for Public Impact (CPI), a not-for-profit company founded in 2015 by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to catalyse and inform the debate on the future of Government. CPI helps Governments think about policy decisions and the role of the public servant. Their current focus is on human government and its relationship with the citizen. Their first premise was that the answer lay in “technocratic tweaks and adaptations… action and delivery” but they went on to discover that there were more fundamental and complex issues at play. Recently the CPI produced a report in which Nadine wrote “Government must be more human or risk becoming irrelevant.” She says there are three key elements to effective Government: legitimacy, policy and action. Of these, she has found that the conversation about legitimacy has been the most challenging, touching on mistrust, anxiety, apathy, and antipathy. She found that young people are “drifting away from the idea that Government could be of any help to them whatsoever.” More than that, she observed that almost anyone who had been through a trauma – for example a broken relationship, issues at school, losing a business, environmental shocks – felt that there was a lack of kindness and care on the part of Government. In consequence many people are deciding that the only way to effect change is to “do it ourselves, in our own way” and with disregard to the law. Nadine would concur with Michael Gove when he said in his Ditchley annual lecture on 27th June 2020 that “there is a deep disenchantment on the part of many of our citizens with a political system that they feel has failed them.” However, she wonders if the Government fully understands what is required in order to become more human; it is not just about moving a few civil servants out of Westminster and improving the quality of data. She believes that the Government needs to think differently about what regions and localities can contribute. Each place in the UK has a different character and it is appropriate to provide them with more self-determination, enhancing their value and self-worth. Central Government can play a role in this by “coordinating, enabling and connecting.” One of the leaders that the CPI has highlighted is Donna Hall, Chief Executive of Wigan at the time of the Wigan Deal (who features in episode 21 of this podcast). Nadine featured Wigan in a recent TEDx speech. She wonders whether wider adoption of the Wigan model is possible at present because the public are “exhausted” and a lot of healing needs to happen. I put it to Nadine that the general public has a degree of cynicism about the Government ‘listening' when follow up action is not taken. For example, progress has been made on less than a quarter of the recommendations of the 2013 Social Mobility Commission, and the Government presses on with HS2 despite the opposition to it. She believes that the Government has been preoccupied by Brexit and Covid. She worked on the first social mobility paper with Alan Milburn and wonders if social mobility and exclusion are sometimes viewed in isolation from “the bigger picture.” When a small (or not so small) group of people fail to succeed repeatedly through no fault of their own, the economy as a whole suffers. The stability of the country is at risk, and it brings the legitimacy of the Government into question. Nadine believes that another reason for Government inaction in the wake of consultation is that the system is unprepared for the scale of change required. CPI is working to help leaders understand system leadership and life-long organisational learning. If you are going to deploy the same performance measures and request the same data then you will tend to get the same answers, she says.

Today's guest hosts are Edwith Theogene and Charlotte Hancock, Organizing Director and Communications Director for Generation Progress. During today's episode, they discuss Pride Month, which takes place this and every June. Pride Month is a time to celebrate the LGBTQ community and reflect on what has been done, and what still must be done, to achieve full equality. Pride also commemorates the Stonewall Riots of June 1969, which were led by trans women of color in response to police violence towards LGBTQ+ patrons at the Stonewall Inn. This Pride month in particular feels extremely significant for a few reasons. One reason is that the Supreme Court ruled earlier this week that Tile VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects LGBTQ+ workers from workplace discrimination, which means it is illegal to discriminate against or fire employees for their sexual orientation or gender identity. The case will also give LGBTQ+ people and advocates stronger legal standing when it comes to addressing discrimination in other institutions or services. The other reason is because massive numbers of Americans across the country have taken to the streets in recent weeks to demand an end to systemic racism and state-sanctioned violence against Black Americans. Black members of the LGBTQ+ community—particularly Black trans women—have been especially vulnerable to violence, and their murders and disappearances are too often forgotten or glossed over by local and national media. Consequently, we have seen a push during this Pride month especially to recall the history of Pride, which began with riots against police violence led by trans women of color, in order to emphatically state that Black trans lives matter. To talk with Edwith and Charlotte more about Pride month, the Black Lives Matter movement, and more, they’re joined by Nadine Smith, the Executive Director of Equality Florida, and Dr. Lourdes Ashley Hunter, the Executive Director of the Trans Women of Color Collective. Here are the Twitter handles for today's guests and their respective organizations: Nadine Smith - @1NadineSmith, Equality Florida - @equalityfl, Dr. Lourdes Ashley Hunter - @HunterLourdes, Trans Women of Color Collective - @twoccnyc.

Equality Florida hosted a virtual Town Hall with Black LGBTQ leaders in response to a rash of attacks that have claimed Black lives including the brutal killing of George Floyd by white police officers in Minneapolis. The Black LGBTQ leaders included Alphonso David, Human Rights Campaign President, Michele Rayner, Civil Rights Attorney who represented the McGlockton family following the murder of Markeis, Imani Rupert-Gordon, National Center for Lesbian Rights Executive Director, Andrea Jenkins, Minneapolis City Council Vice President and moderated by Nadine Smith, Equality Florida Executive Director. The Town Hall came after more than 500 LGBTQ organizations from across the country signed onto a letter condemning racial violence and committing to the fight against it. This important dialogue also comes on the heels of the murders of seven Black transgender women in Florida in less than two years, the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery by white vigilantes in Georgia and the weaponizing of race by a white woman against Christian Cooper a Black gay man bird watching in New York City’s Central Park and the disturbing questions raised in the recent police shooting death of Tony McDade a Black transgender man in Tallahassee. All the leaders during the Town Hall also addressed the fact that since 2013 over 170 transgender women and men have been murdered in this country with over 70% being of color. This is another stark reminder of the need for all civil right leaders who are speaking out against systemic racism and hate violence claiming Black lives must be LGBTQ inclusive. Nadine Smith, Equality Florida Executive Director has been named one of Florida’s "Most Powerful and Influential Women" by the Florida Diversity Council. She has received the League of Women Voter's Woman of Distinction Award and in 2018 was named one of the 100 Most Influential Floridians by Influence Magazine. She currently serves as chair of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights Florida Advisory Committee. She lives in St. Petersburg with her wife Andrea and son Logan. Equality Florida is the largest civil rights organization dedicated to securing full equality for Florida’s LGBTQ community. Through education, grassroots organizing, coalition building and lobbying they are changing Florida so that no one suffers harassment or discrimination on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

This week we talk to Nadine Smith from the Centre for Public Impact about how government needs to change in order to get fit for the 21st century. Nadine offers a compelling take on how a lack of empathy and humanity in our institutions is creating challenges for their legitimacy. This can be seen in Brexit but also in plenty of areas of public life and Nadine has been talking to governments around the world about how they can become more human at a time when artificial intelligence is on the rise.

It started out as a night celebrating the Gay Pride Parade, but ended up in an almost deadly encounter. Gay couple René Chalarca and Dmitry Logunov were viciously attacked by four young men as they walked out of a South Beach restroom area. According to police, one of the victims accidentally bumped into Juan Carlos Lopez, 21. Lopez and three friends began their verbal and physical attacks.

49 människor dödades i massakern på gayklubben Pulse, den hittills dödligaste masskjutningen i USA:s historia. Ett halvår senare kämpar överlevare och anhöriga fortfarande med sorgen efter tragedin. Sex månader har gått sedan en ensam gärningsman gick in på gayklubben Pulse, den 12 juni 2016, och började skjuta. Det var lördagskväll och latin night. Han dödade 49 människor, skadade 53 fysiskt och traumatiserade många fler. Vi återvänder till Orlando ett halvår senare och pratar med överlevare, berörda och hbtq-aktivister som sakta men säkert håller på att återhämta sig efter tragedin.Det träder fram en bild av ett community som blev överösta med kärlek efter massakern, som har hållit i sig. "Det är det som är den riktiga historien om Orlando", säger Nadine Smith, grundare av organisationen Equality Florida. Samtidigt fortsätter hon och många andra att fortsätta jobba för hbtq-personers rättigheter i Florida, där det på många håll fortfarande är lagligt för arbetsgivare att diskriminera på grund av sexuell läggning eller könsidentitet.Samtidigt finns en oro över de långvariga psykiska effekterna av tragedin, som slog hårt mot en redan socioekonomiskt utsatt grupp, då majoriteten av de drabbade har latinobakgrund. Av: Palmira Koukkari Mbenga, P3 korrespondent
