Millions of Americans were saddened and outraged by the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting in 2012 that took the lives of twenty children and six adults, and were left feeling helpless about the epidemic of gun violence in the U.S. that, sadly, continues to this day. But for our guest today, Shannon Watts, her feelings of devastation about the shooting turned to rage and fueled her unlikely rise to leading Moms Demand Action, which she grew into one of the largest grassroots organizations in the country, mobilizing millions of volunteers to push for stronger gun safety laws. “I wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with a badass army of women because that's who gets things done in this country,” she says.    In this inspiring conversation with Raise the Line host Michael Carrese, Watts pulls back the curtain on how the group achieved its successes and the philosophy of "losing forward" that kept volunteers showing up year after year. In her recent book Fired Up, Watts describes how she is bringing insights from that experience to a new mission: helping women identify their values, abilities, and desires and acting on them without waiting until everything is perfect. Tune-in to learn about:  The "false fires" women mistake for passion; Why losing estrogen and testosterone in midlife might actually make women braver, not less so; The one exercise she does with every woman she coaches.  Mentioned in this episode: Fired Up book Moms Demand Action If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide, grief, childhood trauma, and homelessness. Listener discretion is advised.What does it look like when a single act of kindness, a sandwich handed to a stranger outside Grand Central Station, becomes the seed of a national movement? In this episode, Jennifer sits down with Karen Olson, founder of Family Promise, in her home in Springfield, New Jersey, to trace the remarkable arc of a life shaped by early loss, quiet resilience, and an unshakeable urge to help.Karen shares the story of losing her mother to suicide at age 12, a wound that redirected the course of her life toward service. She recounts how a chance encounter with a homeless woman named Millie awakened her to the invisible crisis of family homelessness; and how that awakening, through years of grassroots organizing, faith community partnership, and sheer instinct, grew into Family Promise: a national nonprofit with over 200 affiliates, one million volunteers mobilized, and nearly a million families served.She and Jennifer also talk about what happened after Karen's retirement - a cryotherapy accident in 2019 that left her with a spinal cord injury - and how she continues to paint, reflect, and live with the same purposeful spirit that built everything she created.

In this episode, Dr. Rob Harter sits down with Aidan Reilly, co-founder of The Farmlink Project, a nonprofit that began as a college passion project and grew into a national food recovery movement. What started in 2020 as two friends trying to make a difference during the COVID-19 pandemic quickly evolved into a logistics powerhouse that has since delivered over 350 million pounds of food—soon to be half a billion. Aidan shares the compelling origin story of Farmlink and how a group of students bridged the gap between farms with surplus food and food banks in desperate need. With impressive agility, grassroots organizing, and a deep sense of purpose, Farmlink has scaled nationwide and is now exploring international efforts. Aidan also discusses how Farmlink is addressing food waste, hunger, and climate change simultaneously—and how their innovative model may one day make their own work unnecessary. Key Topics Include: The founding of Farmlink during the pandemic by college students looking to make an impact How Farmlink grew from a local food rescue effort to a national nonprofit operating in 27+ states The logistics of moving nearly half a billion pounds of food and partnering with over 1,200 food banks and 400 farms The systemic causes of food waste in the U.S. and how Farmlink is creating long-term infrastructure solutions How Farmlink measures and communicates its climate and hunger relief impact to donors The role of AI, predictive analytics, and capacity mapping in scaling nonprofit operations Why public-private partnerships and policy advocacy are essential to solving food insecurity at scale Mentioned in This Episode: The Farmlink Project Abundance: The Farmlink Documentary (YouTube) This Episode is Sponsored By: DonorBox Links to Resources: Interested in Leadership and Life Coaching?

Some leaders chase growth. Others build movements that last. In this episode of Leadership Odysseys, Kirsty Gee sits down with Rosy McEvedy, the founder of IV League Drips and Academy by IV League, to unpack how she turned a simple idea into a national model for integrative health. From a single clinic to a network of more than 200 licensees, Rosy shares the clarity, conviction, and discipline it takes to build something that scales with purpose. Key Highlights: See the opportunity before it's obvious. Rosy recognised a gap in Australia's wellness landscape and moved first to bring IV therapy into mainstream care. Lead with knowledge and intent. Her pharmaceutical training and nursing studies gave her the foundation to build credibility and trust in an unregulated space. Design systems that scale. Rosy breaks down how her licensee model—not a franchise—allows clinicians to deliver consistent, quality care while retaining ownership. Build culture into the structure. She shares why energy, belief, and alignment matter more than credentials when expanding across a national network. Stay grounded in the mission. Rosy's focus now is depth over speed—educating, supporting, and strengthening the community she's built. Rosy McEvedy isn't just building a business; she's shaping an industry.

It's a place where you feel stuck, forced to sell the "least bad" option from a carrier while managing the inevitable rate hikes for your clients.Then I read a book that changed the entire trajectory of my career, and this week, I'm sitting down with the man who wrote it.

Twelve years ago, Shannon Watts was folding laundry when breaking news stopped her in her tracks: a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary. The next morning, she woke up with a fire inside her, and turned her grief and rage into action. That action became Moms Demand Action, now part of Everytown for Gun Safety, the largest gun violence prevention organization in the country. In today's episode, Shannon joins Jessi Hempel to reflect on the grassroots journey that began in her kitchen and grew into a national movement. Shannon's new book, Fired Up, is a call to action for women everywhere who are ready to turn their spark into action, but aren't sure where to start. Jessi and Shannon discuss: Shannon's journey from corporate PR to grassroots activism The power of starting before you feel ready Why burnout can be a turning point How women, especially mothers, are the hidden engine of societal change Lessons from more than a decade of advocacy and organizing Join the conversation at Hello Monday Office Hours. Catch us Wednesday at 3 PM ET on the LinkedIn News Page. See you there.

What many people don't realize is that Zionism is not a monolithic term. From its inception there were rigorous debates about the nature and direction of the movement? Thinkers had argued about some of the fundamental questions around Israel. Where would a future Jewish state be located? What language would they speak? Should Israel come about through a slow evolution or a radical revolution? In his book, Zionism and Jewish Culture: A Study in the Origins of a National Movement (Academic Studies Press, 2024), Yithak Conforti situates us in these debates, zeroing in on the leaders of what has become known as “cultural Zionism.” These group of thinkers stood across the aisle from more politically minded voices like Theodor Herzl. As Prof Yizhak Conforti explains, their approach was quite different, highlighting a more Jewish, more ethnic, more culturally centered Zionist vision. Zionism and Jewish Culture examines the history of Zionism from a new perspective, arguing that Zionism was not only a political project, but also a major cultural force in modern Jewish life. In exploring these topics, this book enables a deeper understanding of the forces that continue to shape Zionism and Israel today. Prof. Yitzhak Conforti is an Associate Professor in the Department of Jewish History and Contemporary Jewry at Bar-Ilan University, specializing in modern Jewish history, Jewish nationalism, and Zionist historiography. In addition to Zionism and Jewish Culture, se is the author of several influential works, including Past Tense: Zionist Historiography and the Shaping of the Zionist Memory and Shaping a Nation: The Cultural Origins of Zionism, 1882–1948. Rabbi Marc Katz is the Senior Rabbi at Temple Ner Tamid in Bloomfield, NJ. He is most recently the author of Yochanan's Gamble: Judaism's Pragmatic Approach to Life (JPS) Learn more about your ad choices.

This Women's Month, WOLA launched a special podcast series to amplify feminist voices fighting for human rights in Latin America. Our second episode was our first-ever Spanish-language episode. Our president, Carolina Jiménez Sandoval, spoke with Quimy de León (Guatemala) and Sofía López Mera (Colombia), two feminist communicators and human rights defenders. We explored the crucial role of communication in human rights advocacy and how to approach it from a feminist perspective. We also discussed the additional challenges women in this field face, from gender-based violence to censorship. This episode is an English recap of that conversation.  Our Guests Sofía López Mera is a journalist, lawyer, and human rights defender in Colombia. She works at the Corporación Justicia y Dignidad and is a member of the National Movement of Mothers and Women for Peace. Her work focuses on supporting grassroots communities affected by armed conflict, using popular communication as a key tool for organizing, mobilizing, and raising awareness about human rights. As a mother, she deeply understands the challenges women face in human rights advocacy and therefore embraces a feminist approach in her work. Quimy de León is a journalist, doctor, and historian from Guatemala with over 20 years of experience. She is the founder and director of Prensa Comunitaria, an alternative media outlet covering environmental issues, human rights, and the impact of extractivism on Indigenous communities in Guatemala. She also founded La Ruda, a feminist digital magazine focused on sexual and reproductive rights. In 2024, she was awarded the Press Freedom Prize by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) for her bravery and commitment to community journalism in Guatemala.

This event, as part of the LSE Middle East Centre's Kurdish Studies Series, was the launch of Mustafa Kemal Topal's latest book 'Women Fighters in the Kurdish National Movement: Transforming Gender Politics and the PKK' published by I.B. Tauris. This book examines how the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) has become a platform for shifts in gender politics through its women fighters. Based on fieldwork undertaken in Iraq, Syria and Europe - including in-depth interviews and participant observation within women's camps - the book examines Kurdish women fighters' motivations to join the PKK, as well as their personal life stories and views on gender, patriarchy, and ethnic minority experiences. This is the largest ethnographic study on the PKK to date and the book argues that in addition to seeking their nation's struggle for survival and a democratic society, Kurdish women fighters are driven by the prospect of improving conditions for themselves and for women across the entire region. Meet the speaker Mustafa Kemal Topal is Assistant Professor at the Roskilde University in Denmark, where he also received his PhD. He is a fellow at the Bergen University in Norway, having been awarded the Independent Research Fund Denmark International's Postdoctoral Grant for his new project ‘Kurdish Women's Democratic Experiment in Post-Conflict Northern Syria'. This event was moderated by Robert Lowe. Robert Lowe is Deputy Director of the LSE Middle East Center and Co-Editor of the LSE Middle East Centre's Kurdish Studies Series published by I.B. Tauris. His main research interest is Kurdish politics, with particular focus on the Kurdish movements in Syria.

Amidst political, economic, and security issues Malians continue to seek justice and reconciliation to restore peace in their country. Since 2012, the Malian government has been engaged in a war against the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MLNA) who intend to secede the Northern region of Mali. Additionally, Mali has experienced 8 attempted coups with 5 of them being successful since its independence in 1960. The turmoil experienced raises questions on how to attain national cohesion and how the Malian government can navigate meeting the plethora of needs that its citizens require. Good governance which is accountable to the people is what Malians are asking for. Moussa Kondo, Executive Director Sahel Institute, joins Mvemba to share perspectives and insights into the political and economic landscape of Mali. Kondo expertly shares the historical context of the insecurity in Mali and some reflections on how Mali can overcome the challenges it is facing today.

Peace processes, two-state vs one-state solutions and nonviolent protests. In conversation with Professor Wendy Pearlman from Northwestern University, we take two of her books as a foundation to examine grassroots activism historically and to consider a potential future “just” solution. Wendy shares her views on realistic outcomes for the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli condition, and takes us through the history of Palestinian grassroots activism both in Palestine and internationally, delving deeper into the parallel between the apartheid in South Africa and in Palestine. Finally, we talk about the atmosphere on US college campuses right now — both for students and teaching staff. Wendy explains why she aims to speak to all her students in the classroom, regardless of where they stand on the Palestine issue. This episode was recorded on November 8, 17:10 Palestine timePlease note that we're recording special podcast episodes relevant to understanding historical context to what is happening in Palestine.

Coming out of my weekly Pulse of Israel Torah talk with my dear friend and Rabbi Shlomo Katz inspired by being witness to the birth of a new, beautiful and inspiring Jewish song, one he created on the spot during our Torah talk connected to the topic being discussed! I was wondering how I never heard that song before! Then he told me that he just created it LOL.This week we discuss the spiritual ramifications for the Jewish people that we ignore the whole Jew-hating antisemitism behind the Palestinian national movement. You do not want to miss this important talk or his special new song.

“How could it be that we are seeing a tsunami of Jew-hatred,” asked Amb. Carr in his closing keynote, repeating the question he's heard from members of the US Congress.  “Who could have believed that 80 years after humanity's greatest crime against the Jews that antisemitism would rise again,” and reiterated the official statement made by former US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo:  Anti-Zionism is antisemitism. So how, Carr asked, do we fight the “ancient, yet recurring indefatigable sickness known as Jew-hatred?” Carr offered six key solutions: “Double down on Jewish peoplehood, explain our right to our homeland. Combat antisemitism in all its forms - from neo-Nazis on the right to radical Marxists on the left and antisemitic activists who justify their actions in the name of the palestinian national movement as well. Bring balance back to college campuses and schools, and differentiate between protected speech and propaganda. Suffocate state sponsors of antisemitism, particularly Iran, and the jaw-dropping, shocking textbooks being used by the Palestinian Authority in schools. ‘Any country that is funding Iran or the PA is, in effect, collaborating with them in teaching children to hate Jews.”  Finally, he said, “play offense by proactively promoting a Philo-Semitic narrative that tells the Biblical story of the Jewish people.  “There is a Jewish story in just about every country. For example, just as America is covered with content and marketing campaigns educating Americans about Black History Month, there is no reason America shouldn't be covered with content for Jewish Heritage Month, designated by the US government to be the month of May,” Carr said.

In this episode of The Vivek Show, host Vivek Ramaswamy speaks with former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, about the 1994 Republican Revolution and its implications for today's political landscape. They discuss the lessons of the 1994 Revolution, its relevance to the current political environment, and the stark contrast between the political positions of Bill Clinton and Joe Biden. Gingrich discusses how the left has been systematically chipping away at welfare reform over the years, drawing parallels between current state of affairs and George Orwell's 1984. He highlights his time in Congress which led to four consecutive balanced budgets and welfare reform, emphasizing the need for another national movement.Gingrich acknowledges Vivek's role in shaping a new vision for America and emphasizes that the solutions to today's challenges lie in the principles of past leaders, including Reagan and the Founding Fathers. They discuss the left's movement towards a dictatorship of ideas, and Gingrich's stepping down as Speaker of the House. Gingrich also reveals his impact on the balance of power in Washington after leaving office, and why he chose not to run for president in 2000. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the importance of visionary leaders during moments of national identity crisis, and the need for leaders who can both articulate and execute big ideas during challenging times.--Donate here: https://t.co/PE1rfuVBmbFor more content follow me here:Twitter - @VivekGRamaswamyInstagram - @vivekgramaswamyFacebook - http://facebook.com/VivekGRamaswamyTruth Social - @VivekRamaswamyRumble - @VivekRamaswamy--Time-Codes:00:00:00: Introduction of the topic of the 1994 Republican Revolution and its current relevance.00:02:16: Lessons from the 1994 Republican Revolution applied to today's political climate.00:08:00: Discussion on the left's efforts to chip away at welfare reform.00:10:29: Comparison of the current state of the US to George Orwell's 1984.00:12:49: Discussion on changes leading to balanced budgets and welfare reform during Gingrich's time in Congress.00:15:30: Acknowledgement of Vivek's role in shaping a new vision for America.00:17:30: Discussion on the continuity of ideas from Reagan to the Founding Fathers.00:19:00: Expression of concern about the left's movement towards a dictatorship of ideas.00:23:26: Explanation of why Gingrich did not consider running for president in 2000.00:29:18: Importance of visionary leaders during moments of national identity crisis.

So many people are asking for a recording of the historic conference we hosted last night in Jerusalem focused on unmasking Jew-hatred within the palestinian national movement. With deep thanks to the one above, we had a full house at the Begin Center in Jerusalem, and thousands of people viewing from all over the world, across our various platforms. Here is the recording to share with everyone you can. The more people you all share it with, the bigger an impact we can make!For those of you who had technical difficulties, or did not see the email with the conference link in time to join us live, I sincerely apologize. We tried our best to ensure that everyone who registered received the livestream link on time, but we apologize for any issues or confusion that prevented people from joining us live. I promise that we will try even harder to make the experience more seamless for our next conference. In the meantime, I please ask for forgiveness for whatever frustration you experienced.Now, many people take a deep breath after a conference ends, because all their hard work has paid off, and now they can relax. However, for us at the Pulse of Israel, things are different. For us, the conference was just the catalyst to begin the real work. Starting Now. And we need your help.The conference was just about creating the buzz to change the conversation, in order for Jews and non-Jews to wake up and realize that this issue must be shouted from the rooftops, because we have all been orphaned by our leaders. Now, the real work begins to change the conversation on a daily basis so that Jews worldwide will be more empowered to face the growing Jew-hatred in the name of "palestine", and therefore better protected.Now that we have some people's attention, we have to push out these messages in an even  bigger way to get even more people's attention. Ultimately, we won't change the actions of our leaders until they hear the cry from us, the public. And for that to happen, we need the support of everyone who understands how important this issue is, to protect us all.I just want to add a few of the many comments of feedback we have begun to receive from people about the conference.Avi thanks again for a fantastic conference! You are truly an inspiration, not only for realizing the importance of the issues we face, but also for being brave enough to lead the way to talk, inform and educate anyone willing to listen about the real challenges. Moreover, you took the time to create a unique event, bring everyone together and actually make it happen!! A HUGE amount of work. The speakers - including yourself - were outstanding and inserted depth, insight and actionable strategies into the conversation. Kol Hakavod!!!Oshy E.

One in three Minnesota fourth graders cannot read at a “basic” level for their grade, according to 2022 reading test results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The question is, why do so many children struggle? American Public Media senior producer Emily Hanford found answers in her podcast, “Sold a Story: How Teaching Kids to Read Went So Wrong.”  The podcast was released last fall and quickly became a must-listen for people involved in the national movement to reform reading instruction.  The podcast digs into a key belief about how children learn to read that has held sway in schools for more than a generation, even though it was proven wrong by cognitive scientists decades ago. And, it shows how common teaching methods used by schools across the country can actually make it harder for children to learn how to read.   MPR News host Angela Davis talks with Emily Hanford about the reaction to her exposé and new bonus episodes.  Related Can Minnesota schools do better at teaching kids to read?

I learned so much with my conversation with Coach and Leader Lester Young. He talks about the power of accepting yourself and accepting others in your journey to love and healing. I'm walking away so inspired, motivated, and challenged. Bio: Lester Young is a speaker, author, coach and activist. He speaks and trains employees within The Human Resource Department on the benefits of hiring formerly incarcerated individuals. He is "the voice" for those that are not able to speak for themselves. A highly requested speaker, primarily within the prison environment, Lester's lived experience gives those that have not spent time in prison a different perspective when it comes to teaching and training.  Mr. Young is setting a new standard for "living a life of redemption". As a National Movement & Capacity Building Specialist, Lester focuses on training and educating formerly incarcerated individuals around advocacy and organizing.  Links: Website: https://path2redemption.orgLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lester-young-b1b6a0106/

We understand where everyone is coming from who truly cares about the Moorish Divine National Movement but it is of the utmost importance that we put out this public decry for those who misrepresent the movement, Prophet Noble Drew Ali and the Moorish Science Temple of America. If you do not adhere to the laws established by Prophet Noble Drew Ali you must cease and desist your misconduct, including but not limited to the mixing of rhetoric in from other groups in with Moorish American nationality, personal ideologies being toughted as portions of the MDNM, the selling of paperwork and other fraudulent activity under the guise of Moorish American nationality. "All true Moors will and must obey the law as laid down to them by their Prophet. If they lose confidence in their Prophet, they should turn in their card and button, cease wearing their turban and fez and return to the state where I, the Prophet, found you." We are trying to uplift fallen humanity. Come and link yourselves with the families of nations. We honor all the true and divine prophets.

Justin West is one of the co-founders of Thrive Lot. He is committed to healing our hungry planet by developing sustainable, intentional, and productive garden projects. He has combined technology with agro-ecology in a one-of-a-kind business model that taps into the power of community expertise. In doing so, he has paved the way for a greener future – not with the obstructive and disruptive nature of asphalt, but with the natural and nutritive properties of soil.What is Thrive Lot?Thrive Lot is a tool for people who wish to support biodiversity in their homes and local communities by installing gardens that intentionally and carefully combine specific plants with unique landscape designs. We help develop gardens that combat soil erosion, chemical contamination, landscape degradation, and more. Thrive Lot connects customers to local experts and helps all team members effectively communicate throughout the implementation process.Where did the idea of Thrive Lot begin?When I was five years old, I started living on this old Amish farm. I had a huge garden, big fruit trees, and berry bushes, and I did a lot of canning and preserving. When I was 11, I got into 4-H wildlife judging, which involves looking at a property and making management recommendations to improve the wildlife populations. I actually competed nationally at 15 and won the national championship in urban ecological design, but then kind of forgot about it for a decade.

Tammy Darcy is the Founder and CEO of The Shona Project: who have impacted: 20,000 young girls through their school workshops and events, 30,000 through their survival handbook, 40,000 at Shine Festival, 300,000 through their website & 350,000 through social media views each month. The year Tammy turned 14 everything changed. Her parents went through a messy separation, and her older sister, Shona was diagnosed with an acquired brain injury that rendered her physically and mentally disabled, and left her requiring full time nursing care. It was also the year she was bullied so badly in school that she spent break times in a toilet cubicle and climbing over the back wall to go home. Tammy feels that if she had the right support, information and guidance, she may have been better able to overcome the challenges she encountered as a teen. She now sees that her experience is not unusual, and that many girls find their teenage years to be negative, distressing and traumatic. It is during these years that the internal barriers which prevent young women from achieving their potential are often formed. Tammy is passionate about eradicating bullying and rivalry amongst girls and promoting the fact that our differences are what make us special and our challenges are what teach us  understanding, resilience and determination. www.shona.ie
