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.

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? Good question… About the Host: Laurel Rutledge's human-centered approach, empathy, and understanding of individual needs make her a top-notch personal advisor and women's leadership coach. Her care and compassion have made her an indispensable guide for countless women navigating the next phases of their lives and careers. Add to that her intimate knowledge of the HR landscape, and it becomes clear why her HR clients have had such transformative experiences. Just as Rutledge has helped countless others get out of their rut and off of the ledge, so too can she help you. After receiving her MBA, Laurel moved from accounting and consulting to human resources, driven by a desire to do good in a business environment. It quickly became apparent that the switch had been a good choice — she flourished professionally and became happier, satisfied with the difference she could make through her work. After a 30-year career, she left the corporate world, but her passion for HR and helping others has only grown. Now, she works one-on-one with clients, leveraging her experience in leadership and personal development to help them get the most of out their lives and careers. From her beginnings as a consultant at Deloitte to her time as VP of HR at Covestro, Laurel has seen more sides of the business world than most. She's achieved technical mastery of HR, with a deep knowledge of the rules and regulations that must be followed. She's also a people person, perceptive and outgoing, with a sixth sense for helping others to see the difference between what they want and what they need. The culmination of this is in her personal philosophy: “lead with your heart, act with your head.” Find out more at: https://laurelrutledge.com Thanks for listening!

0:08 – As technological problems delay results from the Iowa caucus, we hear reactions from John Nichols, National Affairs Correspondent for The Nation, and Rashad Robinson (@rashadrobinson), spokesperson for Color of Change PAC. Iowa is not representative of the racial makeup of the United States, Robinson points out — and neither is New Hampshire, where Democratic candidates will campaign next. Color of Change has been reaching out to presidential campaigns to talk with them about their policies affecting Black people, and the organization says the Biden and Klobuchar campaigns have not been responsive. 0:25 – The ACLU is questioning the U.S. government's decision to mandate quarantines in response to coronavirus, over concerns about civil liberties and evidence-based policy. We hear from Jay Stanley (@JayCStanley), senior policy analyst with the ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project. Stanley's latest commentary is “What You Need to Know About the Coronavirus Outbreak: A Civil Liberties Perspective.” 0:34 – We host a debate on San Francisco Proposition D, a proposed tax on vacant storefronts, which San Francisco voters will decide on the March 3rd ballot. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors and the SF Chronicle editorial board have endorsed the measure. Joining us are Aaron Peskin, San Francisco Supervisor for District 3, and Clint Griess, executive director of the San Francisco Republican Party, which is opposing Proposition D. 0:50 – There's been a bloody start to the new year in Colombia. Almost one human rights or environmental leader per day has been assassinated in Colombia so far this year, with rural areas particularly hard hit. It's a far cry from the hopes of peace and prosperity when the government signed a landmark peace deal with FARC rebel leaders in September of 2015. Alexandra Ruiz reports from Bogotá, Colombia. 0:56 – As the countdown to the 2020 Census approaches, community organizers in the San Joaquin Valley are launching an educational campaign stressing the importance of census data for everything from social services funding to political representation. In Fresno recently the Dolores Huerta Foundation has embarked on a mission to maximize participation among hard-to-reach populations. Vic Bedoian reports from Fresno. 1:08 – Why hasn't the U.S. yet closed the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba? We talk with Peter Jan Honigsberg, professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law, and director of Witness to Guantanamo, a project to record the experiences of people who endured imprisonment and torture at Guantanamo, as well as those who worked and lived there. His new book is A Place Outside the Law. He will be speaking at the Hillside Club in Berkeley tonight, February 4. Tickets here. 1:34 – Puerto Ricans are facing political and geological crises, with earthquakes severely disrupting life on the island, and protests against the governor over new scandals over undistributed disaster relief from Hurricane Maria. We talk to Javier Cordova of the Puerto Rican Association of University Professors (APPU). Cordova was a professor of computer science at the University of Puerto Rico for 30 years until his retirement, and he is a member of the Citizens Victory Movement, a new political party on the island.
