#174 Scott Goodstein is the Founder and Chief Messaging Strategist at CatalystCampaigns. In other words, he builds stories that connect and move people to action. Want proof? Check out this story. Players in The National Women's Soccer League needed help. The average pay for players was a staggering $22K a year. Let's pause there. Some of the best athletes in the world were scratching just to get by. They were juggling 3–5 side jobs that included: Donating plasma between practices Driving DoorDash while signing autographs Living in group housing while training for the Olympics All while trying to compete at the highest level. $22K per year!! Goodstein listened to the players and reframed the fight. Instead of debating salaries and incremental increases – the story became: “No More Side Hustles.” The narrative exploded. Coverage jumped from soccer blogs into the New York Times, Bloomberg, NBC, WSJ. Fans rallied. A nonprofit, Support the Players, was spun up to channel donations. The result? Well – that's what you'll find out when you have a listen.

In this week's episode of then & now, guest host Dr. Ben Zdencanovic is joined by Dr. Jennifer Klein, the Bradford Durfee Professor of History at Yale University, to explore Cancer Alley, the stretch of the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana. Spanning roughly one hundred miles, Cancer Alley is densely packed with chemical plants, hazardous waste sites, and prisons, resulting in some of the highest rates of pollution in the country. Drawing together questions of environment, community health, and economic development, Jennifer considers how industrialization and environmental racism have shaped the lived experiences of residents along the Mississippi River corridor, while also illuminating broader debates about capitalism, geography, and inequality in American life.Jennifer Klein is the Durfee Professor of History in the field of 20th-century U.S. history at Yale University. Jennifer's research spans the fields of U.S. labor history, urban history, social movements, and political economy. Her publications include Caring for America: Home Health Workers in the Shadow of the Welfare State (Oxford University Press, 2012), co-authored with Eileen Boris, which was awarded the Sara A. Whaley book prize from the National Women's Studies Association; and For All These Rights: Business, Labor, and the Shaping of America's Public-Private Welfare State (Princeton University Press, 2003)

In conversation with Bianca Knight In honour of South Africa's National Women's Month, Africa Rights Talk presents “Breaking the Silence: Women, Rights, and Mental Health in Africa”, a powerful conversation exploring the overlooked but urgent intersection of gender justice and mental well-being. Across the continent, women face compounded challenges gender-based violence, poverty, systemic inequality, and cultural stigma that profoundly affect their mental health, yet these realities remain largely absent from policy and rights-based discourse. Bianca Knight, Project Officer at the Centre for Human Rights' Women's Rights Unit, joins host Victoria Amaechi to unpack why mental health is not just a personal struggle but a fundamental human rights issue. Drawing from her advocacy work on the Maputo Protocol, Bianca sheds light on the cultural taboos, under-resourced systems, and generational patterns that perpetuate silence. Together, they imagine a feminist future where care, healing, and psychosocial well-being are at the heart of gender equality movements. This candid conversation blends personal vulnerability with policy insight, challenging us to destigmatise mental health, integrate it into Africa's women's rights agenda, and create spaces where women can thrive, not just survive. Bianca Knight completed her BA LLB and LLM in Multidisciplinary Human Rights at the University of Pretoria. In 2024, she obtained a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration from the Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS), and she is set to begin her MBA at Hult International Business School in Boston in September 2025. Bianca practiced as an attorney for three years before transitioning into academia and advocacy, driven by her passion for education and social justice. From 2021 to 2023, she lectured constitutional law and the law of succession at Varsity College in Pretoria. During her LLM studies, Bianca sharpened her focus on women's and children's rights, which led her to join the Centre for Human Rights at the University of Pretoria. Since 2022, she has served as a Project Officer in the Women's Rights Unit (WRU), where she supports efforts to advance the implementation of the Maputo Protocol across Africa. Her work includes coordinating state and shadow report trainings, and contributing to projects focused on child marriage, female genital mutilation (FGM), obstetric violence and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).

Michelle Betos spent over a decade breaking barriers in professional soccer, not just as a standout goalkeeper and National Women’s Soccer League Goalkeeper of the Year, but as part of the group of women that fought to build the league from the ground up. In this episode, she reflects on the grit it took to stay in the game when the pay was low, the resources were scarce, and the future of women’s soccer was anything but certain. Now retired from playing—well, sort of—Michelle has stepped into a new role as Assistant Goalkeeper Coach for Gotham FC, where she’s helping shape the next generation of athletes and building a team culture grounded in trust and joy. And in a twist worthy of any She Pivots story, she even came out of retirement earlier this year for one more run on the field.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 9th of August, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in 2 Timothy 1:5: “…when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also.“Today in South Africa, we remember National Women's Day. I want to pay tribute today to the women. Lois and Eunice are not names that are used a lot in this day and age, but Lois was Timothy's grandmother, and Eunice was Timothy's mother, and these two ladies had a profound influence on the apostle Timothy's life. Installed by the power of the Holy Spirit, Timothy had faith, so much so that the great apostle Paul mentioned it. He said, “That faith is also in you.”I want to say today to the men, we need to love our women. In fact, that's what the word says. It says, “Women submit to your husbands, but husbands, love your wives.” We need to treat them in a very special way because we need to respect them as handmaidens of the Lord. You know that Mary Magdalene was a huge influence on Jesus' life. She was so faithful. She remained faithful to Jesus when all the disciples ran away and forsook Him. She never left His side.I want to tell you a little story. My mother told me that when I was a newly born baby, I don't think I was two or three months old, I had a digestive problem where the food could not go into my stomach. She took me to the doctors. They put me in hospital. Eventually, I lost so much weight that I was skin and bone. The doctor said to my mother, ”Take him home because there's nothing more we can do for him. Take him home to die.” But my mother persisted, she never gave up, she prayed. She kept on putting those bottles of milk into my stomach and I kept bringing them up until one day, and she'll never forget it, she gave me a bottle of milk and it never came up and that was the beginning of the rest of my life. My mother, what a wonderful woman of God. I had the privilege of leading her to Jesus Christ. Women have incredible resilience, strength, and determination.You know the founder of the Salvation Army, William Booth said, ”My best soldiers are women.” Today ladies, we want to respect you, honour you, and tell you that we love you and that we could not live without you.Jesus bless you and goodbye.
We continue our tour of the Finger Lakes with a visit to Seneca Falls – a small town with a big legacy. Seneca Falls is home to just under 9,000 people, but it holds a major place in American history. It was here, in the summer of 1848, that a group of women gathered for tea and changed the world. More than 175 years later, the legacy of the Seneca Falls Convention and the women's rights movement is foundational to the town's identity. But this town isn't something out of a history book. It's a living place shaped by the people who live and work there, and keep its stories alive. Guest host Veronica Volk talks to four of those people.In studio: Pam Becker, historian of Seneca County Nellie Ludemann, museum and community relations manager for the National Women's Hall of Fame Andrew Olden, Ph.D., executive director of the Seneca Falls Museum and Tourism Center and Home of the Seneca Museum of Waterways and Industry Ahna Wilson, superintendent of the Women's Rights National Historical Park and Harriet Tubman National Historical Park

On this week's episode of Women Speak — a segment on Northeast Newscast — hosts Northeast News Editor-in-Chief, Julia Williams and former Missouri House Representative for District 19 Ingrid Burnett sat down with Owner of LIA (Life is Amazing) Inspiration and Member of Independence Plaza Neighborhood Council (IPNC) Laura Palacios to continue our series on women who influence policy. Throughout this episode, Palacios discusses her political science background, her activist journey and the steps that have led her to her current work today — particularly in the Historic Northeast. Palacios delves into the various boards she has served on over the past 15 years, including the Missouri Chapter of the National Women's Political Caucus and her experiences as one of the few Latina members among these boards at the time. Burnett, Williams and Palacios discuss happenings within the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson city including a special session request for the legislature from Gov. Mike Kehoe. Within the special session call, three items are proposed for approval including Kansas City Stadium subsidies at Truman Sports Complex, relief aid for Missourians impacted by the storms and capital projects from Missouri House of Representatives Bill 19. These bills are discussed in length as well as a lawsuit, which the Missouri Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has filed against Missouri Attorney General, Andrew Bailey and the University of Missouri. *This podcast was recorded on Wednesday, May 28. Since its recording, this Special Session — which Burnett, Palacios and Williams discuss in this episode — ended on Wednesday, June 11. The Missouri House of Representatives approved $1.5 billion in funding for Kansas City sports stadiums as well as $125 million to aid areas of St. Louis, which faced severe weather damages, according to an article by the Missouri Independent. All three of these bills were previously approved in the Missouri Senate and made their way to the Governor's desk, which he signed into law on Saturday, June 14.*Music used within this Women Speak episode is a song called “I Wish I Knew You Then” by Kansas City local artist Honeybee and the group's lead female vocalist, Makayla Scott. “I Wish I Knew You Then” is a recent single, which Honeybee released in March 2025.

On this episode, the fifth installment of our eight-part, issue-specific series, we'll explore how nonprofits can boldly and safely advocate for gender and reproductive justice. We'll review recent policy developments and discuss how nonprofits can respond through legislative, executive, and judicial branch advocacy. Join us as we break down the rules and share recent examples of how nonprofits are advancing gender and reproductive justice. Attorneys for this episode Quyen Tu Brittany Hacker Melissa Marichal Zayas Shownotes Gender and Reproductive Justice Headlines Executive Branch Actions Since taking office, President Trump has signed several sweeping executive orders that undermine the rights of transgender people and women and reduce access to reproductive health care. These include, for example, orders that terminate federal diversity, equity, and inclusion programs; rescind executive orders that expanded access to reproductive health care; ban transgender people from serving in the military; limit coverage for gender-affirming care; and require federal agencies to recognize only two, “not changeable” sexes. The DOJ has announced that, outside of extraordinary circumstances, it will stop enforcing the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, a law that protects reproductive clinic staff from violence and harassment. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has directed the FDA to review its approval of the medication abortion pill Mifepristone. We've also seen major funding cuts across several agencies. HHS, for example, has terminated NIH grants focused on LGBTQ+ health issues and frozen millions of dollars of Title X funds, which help provide reproductive health services in low-income communities. Litigation Many nonprofits, as well as state attorneys general, have filed lawsuits challenging the executive orders that seek to curtail LGBTQ+ rights and DEI initiatives. In February, for example, a group of several civil rights nonprofits, along with Crowell & Moring LLP, filed a lawsuit on behalf of Chicago Women in Trades to challenge the Trump administration's anti-DEI executive orders. As a result, a federal court has temporarily blocked the Labor Department from requiring Chicago Women in Trades and other federal contracts or grant recipients to certify that they don't operate any programs that violate Federal anti-discrimination laws, which one of these EOs would require. Many other provisions of these EOs, however, remain in effect as the cases make their way through the courts. The National Council of Nonprofits has a continuously updated chart tracking executive orders that impact nonprofits and their current legal status. Just Security has an even broader resource that is tracking all legal challenges to Trump administration actions. Legislation Congress is currently considering deep cuts to Medicaid. These proposed cuts would lead to an estimated 8 million Americans becoming uninsured, and would eliminate all federal funding to Planned Parenthood, including funding for preventative health screenings and testing. Proposed budget cuts would also further restrict transgender peoples' access to gender-affirming care. In Missouri, the state legislature recently approved a new ballot referendum that, if passed, would repeal last year's voter-approved constitutional amendment guaranteeing a right to abortion. This ballet referendum will appear on the ballot in November of 2026 or earlier if Missouri's governor calls a special election. What can 501(c)(3)s do to respond? As a reminder, 501(c)(3)s cannot support or oppose candidates for elective public office. This means they can't engage in activity that helps or hurts the chances of a candidate winning an election. But here's what they can do: They can engage in an unlimited amount of non-lobbying advocacy, and they can engage in a limited amount of lobbying. Non-Lobbying Advocacy Educate the public about issues of importance to your organization The Center for Reproductive Rights' tool, Repro Red Flags: Agency Watch, which tracks key Trump administration appointments and actions related to reproductive health. PFLAG is tracking and reporting on federal and state legislation and litigation impacting the LGBTQ+ community through its weekly Policy Matters Newsletter and Executive Orders Explainers and Resources web page. The National Women's Law Center has released a report highlighting how the cuts would impact women and LGBTQ+ individuals. Engage in administrative advocacy A March letter sent by Equal Rights Advocates and several other civil rights organizations to Acting EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas urges her to immediately withdraw a series of letters and guidance documents pressuring employers to abandon DEI programs. Hold a rally In April, the Coalition for Inclusive Schools & Communities, Live in Your Truth, and the Montgomery County Pride Family held a rally in support of inclusive education outside the U.S. Supreme Court during oral arguments in Mahmoud v. Taylor. Initiate or participate in litigation In May, a Michigan state court permanently struck down three of Michigan's abortion restrictions, agreeing with Northland Family Planning Centers and Medical Students for Choice—two nonprofits plaintiffs represented by the Center for Reproductive Rights—that the restrictions violate the state's constitutional amendment. Fund advocacy Public and private foundations can fund advocacy through general operating grants or specific project grants. Lobbying 501(c)(3) public charities can engage in lobbying, but they are limited in how much lobbying they may engage in. Under the federal tax rules, most public charities can choose between two tests to determine how much lobbying they can engage in: the insubstantial part test or the 501(h) expenditure test. Under either test, lobbying includes attempts to influence legislation at any level of government. The exact activities that will count as lobbying will depend on which test the organization uses. When engaging in lobbying, remember to track and report your lobbying on your annual Form 990, stay within your lobbying limits, and use unrestricted funds. In addition to the tax rules, federal, state, or local level lobbyist registration and reporting requirements may apply when engaging in legislative and executive branch advocacy. These requirements vary by state and city, so make sure to confirm the types of activities and thresholds that trigger reporting in the jurisdictions where you are lobbying. The IRS considers ballot measure advocacy a form of direct lobbying because the voters act as legislators when they vote to approve or reject a ballot measure, but keep in mind that your organization may also be required to register and report on ballot measure activity under state or local campaign finance laws. Since 2022, 501(c)(3) public charities have helped to pass ballot measures that establish a right to abortion in eleven states.

Dr Rebecca Wheeler, the project lead from the University of Exeter's Centre for Rural Policy Research, and Linda Jones, from the charity Farming Community Network, explain why the study is needed, who they want to hear from and what they hope it will achieve.Farming Today and Countryfile presenter Charlotte Smith gives Anita some of the context and policy changes of the last few years in the industry which some say have impacted farmers' wellbeing.Anita has a cup of tea in the farmhouse kitchen and hears from three women farmers about the challenges, stresses, achievements and joys of their jobs. Joining Anita and Lorna are Sinead Fenton, an edible flower and herb farmer in East Sussex, and Caroline Millar, who has an arable, lamb and beef farm near Dundee in Scotland.What action is being taken to address some of the challenges for women in this industry?
