Last week, Jordan Neely, a talented dancer whose impersonations of Michael Jackson made fans of many who watched him perform, was killed by a white former Marine on the New York City subway. Before the marine put Jordan in a chokehold that killed him, he'd been crying out for food. In the depths of despair, he said he wanted to die. But, what he needed was help. Countless others believe Jordan Neely should be alive today. Protests have rocked the city's subways on behalf of a young man whose mental health deteriorated following the murder of his mother. He'd sought help from the New York City Department of Homeless services, but that help – from the city or his fellow passengers – didn't arrive in time to save his life. The white man who killed him, has yet to be charged with a crime.  We speak with the President of Color of Change, Rashad Robinson.

Over the summer, major social media platforms including Twitter pledged to ban and remove misinformation about voting and elections. But last week, the media and technology watchdog group Free Press released a comprehensive analysis of the election and disinformation-related policies of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube. It concluded that these sites have not lived up to their promises. Read the Free Press report here. The rampant spread of online disinformation in the run-up to the 2022 midterms has led to real threats and violence against poll workers, politicians and voters alike. In the midst of this, billionaire Elon Musk purchased Twitter and dramatically weakened the company's ability to moderate hate speech, harassment and disinformation. We speak with Rashad Robinson, president of Color of Change, one of the 60+ civil rights and government watchdog organizations supporting the Free Press report.  In response to requests for comment from The Takeaway, TikTok directed us to their statement "Our commitment to election integrity." Twitter highlighted a Tweet thread from Yoel Roth, Head of Safety and Integrity at Twitter. Meta directed us to their statement "How Meta Is Planning for the 2022 US Midterms."

The cornerstone of democracy is the principle that all citizens have the right and ability to participate in their own governance, either directly or via representation. While many Americans today may believe that we've lost sight of that inclusive ideal, Rashad Robinson, racial justice activist and the president of Color of Change, points out that for some, the system has never worked as well as it was supposed to. He wants us to come together and look ahead to build a new, more inclusive, more functional version of democracy than what we had before, and be honest about what that requires. In this panel from the State of Democracy Summit, co-presented by the 92nd Street Y and Aspen Digital, Robinson is interviewed by Vivian Schiller, the Executive Director of Aspen Digital.

Is being “influential” enough to cause systemic change? You can increase your influence by increasing your presence and being seen everywhere. BUT does mere presence carry enough power to create sustainable change? According to Rashad Robinson, President of The Color of Change, real power is the ability to change the rules. As leaders, are we exercising the power of intimidation caused by our mere presence and position or are we exercising the kind of power that changes hearts, minds and institutions?
