You are about to hear one of those stories produced by our Justice Capital Initiative fellow Erika Harley, a college sophomore pursuing a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice. Description:  Many first-generation Latino students face unique challenges as they navigate the path from college to career readiness. ALPFA (Association of Latino Professionals for America) is a transformative organization providing mentorship, professional development, and a sense of belonging through its ALPFAmilia network. In this audio report, John Jay Justice Capital Initiative fellow Erika Harley explores how ALPFA empowers students to overcome barriers, featuring interviews with John Jay Chapter President Nayeli Zempoaltecatl and the New York Director of Student Affairs Kevin Durjpal. Together, they share how ALPFA bridges the gap for underrepresented groups, fosters equity, and transforms lives."Everybody a part of ALPFA is automatically a part of an ALPFAMILIA because this network, why it was created, was to help, at first, Latinos. Now it has branched out, of course. But we understand one another. We know the struggles we're facing." – Nayeli Zempoatecatl “A lot of students, they want to join in first to get an internship. But then when you join in, you realize you make a lot of good friends. You may look at family. That's the reason why you want to stay. I know that's the reason why I stayed.” – Kevin DurjpalGuests:Kevin Durjpal: ALPFA NY Director of Student Affairs Committee; Strategy & Consulting Analyst, AccentureNayeli Zempoaltecatl: President, ALPFA John Jay ChapterMusic Included:  "Tweet Storm" & " Electric Car" by Podington BearAt The Laura Flanders Show, we're dedicated to providing a platform for diverse voices in the field of social justice.

Andrew Whitley is founder & executive director of Geo-Political Advisory Services (GPAS) & Chair of the Balfour Project. Andrew has had an expansive career first as a journalist for the BBC & Financial Times, before serving as the New York Director of UNRWA & then as Policy Director & interim Chief Executive of The Elders. UNRWA (the United Nations Relief and Work Agency) was established in 1949 by the UN General Assembly to help and protect Palestinian refugees expelled during the Nakba in 1947-8 and today it is in dire financial crisis. “The financial crisis facing UNRWA is deep and complex. It has been suffering from these issues for many years, but this year is the most dangerous. UNRWA will have no funds to serve Palestinian refugees after August,” Adnan Abu Hasna, the UNRWA representative in Gaza, told Mondoweiss earlier this month. Today, over six million Palestinian refugees are registered with the agency, relying on it for essential services including education, food, healthcare and jobs. Abu Hasna warned that all UNRWA services will be stopped by the beginning of September if they do not get the necessary funds. This will apply to all UNRWA programs, not only in Gaza, but in all the areas the agency works, including Gaza and the West Bank inside Palestine, as well as refugee camps in Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon.  “Nearly half a million students in our schools are dependent on our services. We provide food to nearly 1.2 million Palestine refugees,” he told Al Jazeera. “In a place like Gaza, any shaking of our programmes or our activities or services will threaten the stability and even the social fabric, as refugees are dependent on our cash assistance programme on education and health.” UNRWA runs 22 medical centres and 278 schools in Gaza, alongside several programs in human rights education, university scholarships, vocational training, and teacher training.

SummaryDid you know....When nonprofits signal they are financially trustworthy,  they actually give up to half of their potential impact.Why is this "financial trustworthiness signaling behavior” so pervasive, when it has this high a cost?In this podcast episode, I interview George Mitchell,  Professor of Nonprofit Management at Baruch College, City University of New York – and a long-time collaborator, including on our book (Between Power and Irrelevance: the Future of Transnational NGOs' (Oxford University Press, 2020) -- and Thad Calabrese,  Professor of Public and Nonprofit Management at New York University about their provocative new findings. George's Bio: Professor of Nonprofit Management at Baruch College, City University of New York Director at Center for Nonprofit Strategy and ManagementMoynihan Research Fellow at Syracuse UniversityIndependent consultant at InterActionPh.D. from Syracuse UniversityCo-author of our joint book ‘Between Power and Irrelevance: the Future of Transnational NGOs', together with Hans Peter Schmitz, University of San Diego (Oxford Uni Press, 2020) Thad's Bio:Professor of Public and Nonprofit Financial ManagementAssistant professor at Baruch College, earlier on Ph.D. from New York University We discuss: Nonprofits frequently adhere to four financial ‘orthodoxies' or norms:Though shall keep your overhead costs minimalThough shall be financially lean, i.e. not look too profitable, not sit on a large financial or capital reserveThough shall diversify one's revenues as much as possibleThough shall avoid taking out debt (in the form of loans, bonds, bank notes) etc to acquire capital for investmentWhat if these practices, these financial norms, actually reduce your impact as a nonprofit by as much as 50% (in terms of your overall spending levels)?George and Hans did a large-scale, quantitative study on US-based international and domestic nonprofits that indicated exactly this. Their research findings were picked up by several national US media, given their provocative nature. Quotes:“Norm-adhering nonprofits sacrifice about half of their mission impact over a 10-year period compared with norm-busting nonprofits.”“Forgone mission impact is the hidden cost of trustworthiness”Resources:George's LinkedIn ProfileThad's LinkedIn ProfileGeorge's blog post – pointing to an article in The Conversation: HERERelated article in Nonprofit Policy Forum  (Open Access): HEREBook: Between Power and Irrelevance: the Future of Transnational NGOs' (Oxford University Press, 2020): HEREYoutube video of this podcastClick here to subscribe to be alerted when new podcast episodes come out or when Tosca produces other thought leadership pieces.Twitter LinkedIn Facebook

"In the future everybody will be world-famous for fifteen minutes” is probably the best known quote attributed to Andy Warhol. Warhol was an American artist who became a superstar in the visual art movement known as Pop Art. He crossed the boundaries between art and celebrity becoming famous for what we now call branding, but the private Warhol was a deeply religious man and to his close relatives was known simply as ‘Uncle Andy'. In a world where some of what he predicted has come true, we look back at the life and work of this iconic figure. With Bridget Kendall to explore Andy Warhol are Eric Shiner the former Director of the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh USA and New York Director of London's White Cube, Professor Jean Wainwright the British art historian and curator and a leading expert on Warhol and Andy Warhol's nephew, the artist and illustrator James Warhola.
