On this episode of the Rules of the Game podcast, the second installment of our eight-part series focusing on critical issues, we dive into the latest headlines shaping racial justice and immigrant rights. We'll explore how nonprofits can play a pivotal role in advocating for change through legislative, executive, and judicial channels. From raising awareness to securing funding for advocacy efforts, nonprofits across the nation are stepping up in the fight to protect our rights. This episode not only highlights their impactful work but also provides crucial insights into the rules and regulations that govern nonprofit advocacy in the ongoing struggle for racial justice and immigrant rights.   Attorneys for this episode  Monika Graham Brittany Hacker Quyen Tu    Current Events/EOs:     ·      Trump Administration Cuts Funding for Unaccompanied Immigrant Children, essentially terminating the UAC Program   o   UAC Program Responsibilities: §  Ensuring that the interests of the child are considered in decisions related to care and custody §  Ensuring, to the greatest extent practicable, that all unaccompanied alien children in custody have access to legal representation or counsel §  Releasing UAC to qualified sponsors and family members who are determined to be capable of providing for the child's physical and mental well-being o   The Fallout: §  Impacts the work of 100 plus legal service providers §  RAICES 199+ employees laid off §  Interfaith Ministries of Greater Houston 101 employee layoffs §  Catholic Charities Tarrant County 169 employee layoffs §  Catholic Charities Houston/Dallas 180 employee layoffs §  Over 26, 000 children left without legal representation §  Immigration court backlog includes about 3.5 million cases ·      Attacks on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion o   Trump's order to investigate around 350 philanthropic organizations holding combined assets of $900B due to their DEI programs. o    Funders' responses: Some have remained steadfast in their commitment, while others have backed down. o   Context to understand the broader tension: ·       A surge in commitment to racial equity following the murder of George Floyd by police in 2020. ·       SCOTUS ruling in June 2023: The Supreme Court deemed race-conscious admissions policies at Harvard and UNC unconstitutional in the Students for Fair Admissions case, effectively ending affirmative action in college admissions. ·       In response to SFFA, in August 2023, the American Alliance for Equal Rights sued Fearless Fund, alleging its grant program for Black female entrepreneurs was racially discriminatory. The 11th Circuit Court halted the program during litigation, and Fearless Fund settled in September 2024, ending the program. As a result, grants or contracts restricted to a specific race may now violate federal law. o   Government and private sector DEI offices and programs have shut down. o   Numerous lawsuits are pending, creating additional legal uncertainty. o   Chilling effect already unfolding, with widespread chaos and uncertainty.   ·      Executive Orders (10 in the first 7 days) o   Ended humanitarian parole for immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, forcing those legally allowed into the U.S. to leave. o   Attempt to end birthright citizenship. o    Ramp-up of deportations, expanding the list of individuals prioritized for removal. o   Paused the refugee resettlement program, capping it at the lowest level in 40 years. o   Ongoing challenges: Many policies have been paused or are currently being contested in the courts. o   Impact on individuals: Deportations of student visa holders detained by masked individuals, and the arrest of Legal Permanent Residents (LPRs) based on their involvement in Free Palestine movements. o    Deportations to El Salvador without due process for immigrants alleged to be gang members—based solely on tattoos. o   Wrongful deportation: A Maryland man was deported to El Salvador despite a court order prohibiting his deportation. Authorities claim it was an administrative error, with no legitimate reason for his arrest, detention, or removal. Even DOJ lawyers have expressed confusion about why the administration isn't bringing him back, despite being ordered to return him by midnight tonight. o   Shocking incompetence: The lack of diligence and understanding of the human impact of these policies is alarming.         Advocacy ·      Executive Order Advocacy: o   501(c)(3) compliant, safe, nonpartisan, non-lobbying advocacy activity (keeping in mind that other federal, state, and local regulations may apply) o   Track and communicate EOs, assist immigrant communities in understanding their implications, and help prepare through targeted social media campaigns o   Develop a preparedness plan for potential ICE actions at your nonprofit, ensuring the safety and rights of those involved ·      Fund Advocacy: o   General support grants provide funding that is not earmarked for a particular purpose and can be used at the discretion of the recipient organization to advance their mission and cover operating costs.  o   Specific project grants: Private foundations must review the grantee's project budget and may award up to the non-lobbying portion. Funds must be used exclusively for the designated project. o   Note: Public foundations that have made the 501(h) election may follow the same general support and specific project grant rules that apply to private foundations, and these grants should not be considered a lobbying expenditure by the foundation, even if the recipient public charity spends the grant funds on lobbying ·      Public Awareness: o   Amplify the voices of unaccompanied children through powerful storytelling campaigns that humanize their experiences and bring attention to their plight. o   Conduct in-depth research on the impact of funding cuts, highlighting how these reductions are affecting the lives of vulnerable children, and share these findings publicly to increase awareness. o   Actively engage with your community by hosting events, discussions, or social media campaigns that educate the public on current issues surrounding unaccompanied immigrant children and provide actionable ways they can advocate for meaningful change. Lobbying  ·      Tax Code Lobbying 101: Public charities can engage in lobbying! Ensure you track and report all local, state, and federal lobbying activities while staying within legal limits. ·      Host a Lobbying Day: Organize a dedicated event, like AILA's National Day of Action, to mobilize supporters and advocate for critical issues. ·      Engage in Ballot Measure Work: Actively participate in ballot measures to influence public policy decisions at the local or state level. ·      Remember: o   State/local level lobbyist registration and reporting requirements may apply when engaging in legislative and executive branch advocacy. o   Ballot measure advocacy could implicate state/local campaign finance and election laws.        Resources ·      Race and Equity: The Advocacy Playbook for Racial Justice and Immigrant Rights  ·       The Impact of Government Funding Cuts on Unaccompanied Children and the Role of Nonprofits in Fighting Back ·      Public Charities Can Lobby ·      Practical Guidance: What Your Nonprofit Needs to Know About Lobbying in Your State ·      Investing in Change

In this month's episode of Yet Another Value Podcast, host Andrew Walker goes solo with his April Ramble, recorded just before a whirlwind travel schedule kicks off. He opens with an update on KROS, a position he's long, discussing the company's surprising move to evaluate strategic alternatives and what it reveals about investor skepticism in the busted biotech space. Andrew continues with a candidcritique of the biotech sector's structural inefficiencies, urging investors to push harder on corporate governance rather than avoid the "activist" label. From there, he explores how stock-based compensation can become more damaging when share prices fall and reflects on the mental and strategic discipline needed in volatile markets.

That dreadful day dads anxiously await — the day we have “the talk.” I know it scares you, especially if you still twitch thinking about the talk you got, or like me, you never received “the talk” and you have nothing to go on. What if I told you it was not as scary as you think it is? What if the only reason it scares you and because you choose to allow it to?   I am joined today by my friends, Adam and Karissa King, founders and hosts of Dear Young Married Couple, and they are addressing the misunderstandings surrounding “the talk.” Here's what you'll learn:   A “the talk” is a bad idea. There should be several “talks.” These talks can start as early as 3 years old. Sex is not bad but something to be celebrated. You do not have to be afraid to talk about sex and sexuality with your kids.   This is an eye-opening conversation that brings a corrective to what you and I likely were taught growing up in church.

Fifty years ago, Lebanon descended into one of the darkest periods in its modern history: the civil war. The brutal 15-year conflict was marked by sectarian violence and shifting front lines. In the capital Beirut, some buildings still bear the scars of battle. Others have been rebuilt, but the trauma remains in people's minds. Our correspondent Serge Berberi spoke to some of those who lived through the conflict and who are trying to keep its memory alive today. He brings us this report, with Rawad Taha.

Salvation is just the beginning. God continues His work in us every day. In our final message, we'll explore Philippians 1:3-6 & 4:15-16 and discover how to embrace God's ongoing transformation in our lives.

Clay Risen, author of Red Scare: Blacklists, McCarthyism, and the Making of Modern America, joins to discuss the era when suspicion was a political tool and civil liberties were sidelined. Today we have echoes—and outright repetitions—of McCarthyite tactics, from loyalty oaths to immigration crackdowns. Also- there may be three plastic spoons' worth of microplastic in the average human brain—according to science, which Mike neither trusts nor understands, on account of his 0.5% spoon brain.

John Maytham speaks with Advocate Stefanie Fick of OUTA about mounting frustration over ongoing delays in issuing driving licence cards. Cape Town’s DLTCs have processed nearly 60,000 licence and PrDP applications this year, yet not a single card has been delivered due to a production failure at the national Driving Licence Card Account (DLCA) in Pretoria. With over 26 years’ experience in the justice system, Adv. Fick unpacks the accountability and governance breakdowns behind this national backlog.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Week 2 Handouts: Agenda for week 2 ----------------------------------------------- Week 1 Handouts: Living Byu The Book (Pp 5-20) Agenda for week... for full notes: http://www.lbible.org/index.php?proc=msg&sf=vw&tid=1731

S26 Ep 6 |Desperate for God to Intervene: The Ongoing Tarry In this episode, Ruth engages in a profound conversation with Joy and David Bailey. Together, they delve into the themes from Dr. Selena Stone's book 'Tarry Awhile,' focusing on chapter six about healing. Joy and David share their extensive journey of dealing with Joy's chronic health issues, exploring how it has shaped both their faith and community life. They discuss the complexities of suffering, the importance of community support, and how leaning into God's presence has been vital in their ongoing struggle.  We are journeying through Lent with a podcast season entitled “Tarry with Me Awhile: Learnings from the Black Church.” We will use Dr. Selina Stone's book, Tarry Awhile: Wisdom from Black Spirituality for People of Faith, as a guide. Black spirituality has much to offer us in understanding the practice of tarrying as a Lenten practice. Together we will seek a deeper understanding of waiting on God in the liminal space—where the resurrection feels far off, and our deaths and suffering are present.    As a photographer and writer, Joy Guion Bailey (TC15) walks the tension between the hopeful, faithful now and the not yet. Her desire is that the spaces she curates in her life and work invite willing participants to their place at the communion table through pieces that encourage the viewer to stay, listen, and engage deeply with their own story and the narratives playing out around them. A practicing professional artist for 15 years, Joy resides in Richmond, Virginia, with her husband, David Bailey.    David Bailey (TC15) is a public theologian, culture maker, and catalyst focused on building reconciling communities. David is the founder and Chief Vision Officer of Arrabon, a spiritual formation ministry that equips the American Church to actively and creatively pursue racial healing in their communities. He is the co-author of the study series, A People, A Place, and A Just Society, and the executive producer of the documentary 11 am: Hope for America's Most Segregated Hour and the Urban Doxology Project. David is rooted at East End Covenant Fellowship, serving on the preaching team, and his greatest honor is to be married to his wonderful wife, Joy.   Music this season is provided by Julian Davis Reed. Julian Davis Reid (TC20) is an artist-theologian from Chicago who uses sound and word to offer hope to the searching, presence to the sorrowful, and rest to the weary. A pianist, composer, and producer, his projects featured on this podcast are the two solo piano records Rest Assured (2021) and Beside Still Waters (2024) and his single Moan (Matthew 2:18) featuring Tramaine Parker, released on Inauguration Day 2025 on the project When Souls Cry Out. Julian steadily releases music under his own name and with his group, The JuJu Exchange. You can learn more about his work at juliandavisreid.com.

SummaryIn this Change the Story, Good Trouble “Weather Report” episode, Michael Bobbit, Executive Director of the Mass Cultural Council, joins host BC to examine the turbulent climate for arts and social change under the Trump regime. From the erosion of DEI policies to looming threats against public arts funding, Bobbit underscores the urgent need for advocacy and proactive engagement across the arts sector. This compelling conversation offers both a diagnosis of the current cultural storm and a call to action for artists, organizers, and institutions to reclaim their power in the public square.BioMichael J. Bobbitt is a distinguished theater artist. As the Executive Director of Mass Cultural Council, he is the highest- ranking public official in Massachusetts state government focused on arts and culture.Since 2021, he has led the Agency through several initiatives, including the development of its first Racial Equity Plan, d/Deaf & Disability Equity and Access Plan, and Native American & Indigenous Equity Plan; the launch of the nation's first statewide Social Prescribing Initiative; the securing and distribution of $60.1 million in pandemic relief funding; and the design and implementation of a strategic plan for fiscal years 2o24-2026. Recently, Michael was listed as one of the Boston Business Journal's Power 50 Movement Makers. He has been appointed by Governor Maura Healey to serve on both the Governor's Advisory Council on Black Empowerment and the newly established Massachusetts Cultural Policy Development Advisory Council, and he recently received an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts, honoris causa from Dean College. He is a proud alumnus of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He previously served as Artistic Director of the New Repertory Theatre in Watertown, MA; immediately prior to this he held the same position at the Adventure Theatre-MTC in Maryland for 12 years. While in Maryland Michael led the organization to be a respected regional theatre training company, and a nationally influential professional Theatre for Young Audiences.Key Moments[00:01:00] – Michael outlines how DEI is central to Mass Cultural Council's mission—even if that means rejecting NEA funding.[00:02:00] – Discussion on government funding's symbolic and practical importance in ensuring access to the arts[00:03:00] – Michael warns of the sector's disorganization compared to housing and gun lobbyists, and calls for operationalizing advocacy.[00:06:00] – “If you're not at the table, you're on the menu”: why the arts sector must get political.[00:10:00] – Highlighting current efforts: Theater Offensive's legal action, Center Stage's resistance work.[00:11:00] – Summary of Trump-era policies affecting arts and culture—defunding, executive orders, and anti-DEI initiatives.[00:13:00] – Closing reflections and a call to action to remain engaged and support arts advocacy.TakeawaysAdvocacy is essential: Michael stresses that arts organizations must treat political engagement like fundraising or marketing.DEI is non-negotiable: The Mass Cultural Council will not compromise on DEI, even if it jeopardizes federal funding.Government funding sends a message: Beyond finances, it symbolizes societal support for the arts.The threat is real and accelerating: Ongoing executive actions threaten arts institutions, immigrants, and vulnerable communities.Artists must mobilize: This is a critical moment for the arts to reclaim...

There is a special relationship between a father and a son. Often it's a bond that will carry far beyond the death of either one or the other. In our lives, we truly don't know how much of an impact we have on our children or others that we have come in contact with. We need to realize that people that we see and talk to on a daily basis are watching us closely to see if our words match our deeds. On today's program, we will hear from someone who had a father that had an impact on those around him, far more than he had realized and his life continues to impact others years after he's been gone.

In this episode of Yet Another Value Podcast, host Andrew Walker welcomes back Adam Patinkin of David Capital for his third appearance—this time for a much-requested update on British homebuilder and regeneration specialist Vistry (RY). Adam originally laid out a bold thesis in early 2024 that Vistry's transition to a pure-play partnerships business could mirror the NVR success story. But after a string of profit warnings and a collapsing share price, listeners wanted answers. Adam walks through what went wrong, why the company's current valuation doesn't match its fundamentals, and why David Capital doubled its position. The discussion probes management credibility, capital allocation, and how UK government policy is now aligning with Vistry's strategy.______________________________________________________________________[00:00:00] Intro and sponsor message for upcoming AI & finance webinar [00:00:40] Andrew welcomes Adam Patinkin for a follow-up discussion on Vistry [00:01:29] Context and disclaimer before discussing UK-listed stock Vistry [00:02:18] Adam gives a quick overview and update on Vistry's journey in 2024 [00:02:58] Explanation of David Capital doubling their position in Vistry [00:03:59] The original investment thesis in Vistry: value plus catalyst approach [00:04:51] Breakdown of Vistry's two segments: partnerships vs. housebuilding [00:06:58] Thesis: Transition to a pure-play partnerships business [00:08:34] Discussion on profit warnings and their impact on investor sentiment [00:10:13] Details of Vistry's missteps and housebuilding write-downs [00:12:29] Analysis of the market's reaction to one-time losses [00:15:29] Third warning due to delayed land sales and management's response [00:16:34] Clarification of misunderstandings around ongoing losses [00:17:57] Adam frames the four-part thesis and which parts still hold [00:19:09] Reaffirmation of medium-term targets for partnerships [00:20:54] Discussion on pace of housebuilding exit and management's actions [00:23:34] Ongoing share buybacks and potential for expansion [00:24:37] Breakdown of customer segments in the partnerships business [00:26:19] UK government's budget and policy impact on affordable housing [00:31:14] Overview of supportive labor government housing initiatives [00:35:05] Cash flow expectations from capital employed reduction [00:36:29] Valuation commentary and mispricing opportunities [00:37:54] Assessment of credibility and investment upside [00:41:51] Discussion on net debt figures and transparency [00:43:40] Capital structure comparisons with other builders [00:46:21] Considerations around lower buybacks vs. future flexibility [00:49:10] Why Vistry still represents compelling value despite concerns [00:52:08] Differentiating Vistry from UK housebuilder peers [00:55:05] Clarification of the NAV not falling due to deferred land sales [00:57:21] Framing margin of safety by cash flows rather than asset base [00:59:54] Summary of company positioning, tailwinds, and outlook Links:Daloopa Webinar: daloopa.com/yavwebinarDavid Capital: https://davidpartners.com/See our legal disclaimer here: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com/p/legal-and-disclaimer

They discuss Christian's journey from working in aviation cybersecurity to becoming an entrepreneur focused on medical device cybersecurity. Christian shares insights on the challenges of running a business, the importance of niche markets, and the lessons learned from selling his first company during the COVID-19 pandemic. The conversation also covers the business model of his current company, emphasizing fixed fees and efficiency incentives for his team. In this conversation, Christian Espinosa discusses the critical importance of cybersecurity in the healthcare sector, particularly concerning medical devices. He emphasizes the unique risks associated with these devices, the regulatory landscape, and the need for specialized knowledge in cybersecurity. The discussion also highlights the responsibility of patients to be informed about the devices they use and the potential vulnerabilities that exist. Espinosa shares insights on the challenges of scaling a cybersecurity business and the importance of having systems in place to ensure long-term success. Takeaways Christian's background includes military service and cybersecurity for aviation. Transitioning to entrepreneurship can stem from personal stress and dissatisfaction. Focusing on a niche market can lead to greater business success. Selling a company during a crisis can lead to unexpected outcomes. Medical device cybersecurity is increasingly important due to regulatory requirements. Fixed fee structures can incentivize efficiency in service delivery. Understanding the supply chain is crucial in cybersecurity for aviation and medical devices. Learning from past mistakes is essential for business growth. Marketing and sales strategies are vital for a startup's success. The landscape of medical device cybersecurity is competitive but lacks expertise. Cybersecurity in healthcare is crucial due to potential risks. Understanding FDA and HIPAA regulations is essential for device companies. Consumer education is key to making informed choices about medical devices. Choosing the right cybersecurity partner can prevent costly mistakes. Vulnerabilities in medical devices can lead to serious consequences. Patients should take agency over their health decisions and research devices. Cybersecurity must be integrated into the design phase of medical devices. Ongoing monitoring and testing are necessary for device safety. Scaling a business requires careful planning and the right team. The value of a business increases with systems that reduce reliance on the owner.
