Podcasts about turbovote

This podcast episode will air the week before the United States Presidential Election, and I’m dedicating this discussion to the importance of civic engagement.  I was inspired to do so by my yoga students and fellow practitioners, whom I keep hearing say that they believe their vote doesn’t matter, or that it doesn’t count. So many American citizens sat out of the 2016 election for that reason, and that disenfranchisement still lingers.  It seems like this time around, more and more people are giving up on the idea that their vote matters.  I come from a very political family. My mom was a lobbyist for the Teacher’s Union, and she brought me to volunteer in elections when I was a little girl. I was involved with election campaigns long before I was old enough to vote, and the environment has always been at the top of my mind when it comes to political issues. But this podcast isn’t about political issues or political parties. In this episode, I am inspiring you to participate in your government.  Yoga has the power to change the world, and that change starts from within ourselves and through our own actions.  The history of The United States is fraught with hard-won battles for the right to vote across generations. Choosing not to vote disregards those who came before and made the sacrifice just so we could have this right. I encourage you to do your own research and vote for what you believe in. I’m providing resources here where you can check your voter registration and find local voting polls in your neighborhood -  Turbovote.org iamavoter.com Vote.org Check these out, vote for what you believe in, and try not to hate those who may disagree with you.  If you’re a practicing yoga student, please share a bit of your yoga journey with me. Send me an email at info@kinoyoga.com and tell me - what does yoga mean to you? You could be invited to guest spot on The Yoga Inspiration Podcast with Kino MacGregor!

We're celebrating National Voter Registration Day with a bonus episode!

Épisode 452 : Comme chaque lundi on fait le tour de l'actualité social media !Cette semaine on parle de Instagram qui propose des sous-titres automatisées pour les vidéos IGTV.On parle de la polémique qui continue pour le groupe Facebook avec le hashtag #StopHateForProfit. Une ancienne employée balance des accusations assez grave et Katy Parry et Kim Kardashian menacent de quitter la plateforme Instagram.On parle aussi de Facebook Business Suite, de Snapchat qui permet l'inscription de 400000 jeunes sur les listes électorales américaines, et des filtres Instagram du New-York Times.Instagram ajoute des sous-titres automatiques pour les vidéos IGTVLes sous-titres automatisés sont une option pour les téléchargements de vidéos Facebook depuis un certain temps. Facebook fournit des sous-titres automatiques pour les vidéos en 16 langues.Même chose sur Youtube.Mais du côté d’Instagram la fonctionnalité restait pour l’instant complètement absente.Pourtant jamais autant le sujet de l’accessibilité des contenus web n’a été au coeur des discussions.Selon l'Organisation mondiale de la santé, plus de 5% de la population mondiale - soit 466 millions de personnes - souffrent d'une perte auditive invalidante.La semaine dernière Instagram a annoncé l’arrivée de fonction de sous titre automatique pour les contenus vidéos IGTV.Lorsque vous téléchargez une vidéo IGTV, vous pourrez basculer sur « Sous-titres générés automatiquement » dans vos paramètres de sous-titres. La précision du texte sera, bien sûr, relative à la clarté de l'audio dans le clip, mais cela aidera à ouvrir votre contenu IGTV à un public plus largeL'annonce fait partie d'un effort plus large de Facebook pour améliorer ses options d'accessibilité . Il ya quelques semaines déjà Facebook annonçait par exemple l’arrivée des sous titres dans les vidéos Live. Déjà, six langues sont prises en charge: anglais, espagnol, portugais, italien, allemand et français. Des stars menacent de quitter Instagram, une employée balance tout !Markito est encore dans la tourmente, toujours sur des problèmes de modération de contenus haineux ! Ça fait quelques temps et notamment autour du mouvement #BlackLivesMatter que Facebook est un petit peu tacler pour sa position neutre sur le sujet.Les marques avaient boycotté en publicitaire la plateforme cet été et aujourd’hui des célébrités rentrent dans le game.Des grosses célébrités sur Instagram comme Kim Kardashian ou Katy Perry ont décidé d’arrêter de publier sur la plateforme.En postant un dernier post « Stop hate » et le hashtag #StopHateForProfitKim Kardashian c’est 188 millions de fans sur Instagram et Katy Perry 107 millions !Les deux ont communiqué en expliquant qu’elles ne pouvaient pas rester les bras croisés face à la propagation de la haine sur des plateformes qui laisse faire !Les révélations de Sophie ZhangCe mouvement est amplifié ces derniers jours par la publication d’une ex data scientist licenciée par Facebook qui s’appelle Sophie Zhang.Cette dernière a rédigé un long texte où elle dénonce les agissements des GAFA et notamment de Facebook. D’après elle, Facebook cache des preuves sur le fait que la plateforme a été et est encore utilisée pour influencer l’opinion publique et manipuler des élections politiques.Elle explique qu’elle a été licenciée après avoir parlé de ces problèmes à sa direction et qu’elle aurait même refusé un chèque de 64.000 dollars pour pouvoir parler librement de ce qu’elle sait sur Facebook.« Au cours des trois années que j’ai passées sur Facebook, j’ai découvert de multiples tentatives flagrantes de la part de gouvernements nationaux étrangers d’abuser de notre plateforme à grande échelle pour tromper leurs propres citoyens, et j’ai provoqué des news internationales à de multiples occasions. Je sais que j’ai du sang sur les mains maintenant. »Elle dénonce le fait que des employés comme elle, de niveau intermédiaire, doivent prendre des décisions sur des propos politiques, et qui ne sont pas dans leurs compétences. « J’ai personnellement pris des décisions qui ont affecté des présidents nationaux sans surveillance, et j’ai pris des mesures pour les faire appliquer contre tant de politiciens éminents dans le monde que j’ai perdu le compte ».Facebook ne serait pas spécialement malveillant mais plutôt dépassé par tout ce qui peut se passer sur sa plateforme.Facebook business suite : une pour les contrôler toutesVous n’aviez pas encore fait le tour de Creator Studio et bien voilà vous êtes cette fois-ci réellement à la bourre… Facebook vient de lancer une toute nouvelle plate-forme de gestion de contenu et de pages qui s’appelle « Facebook Business Suite. »la nouvelle plateforme Business Suite intègre toutes vos options de page Facebook et de profil Instagram dans un seul espace, et sera disponible sur le bureau ou dans une nouvelle application mobile.Cette plateforme permet de :• Publiez sur Facebook et Instagram en même temps et gérez les publications en un seul endroit pour rester connecté aux deux communautés.• Modérer tous vos messages, notifications et alertes Facebook et Instagram en un seul endroit afin que vous puissiez rester à jour et répondre plus facilement à tous vos clients. • Suivre toutes vos stats - Avec les insights Facebook et Instagram et découvrez ce que vos clients recherchent.Ainsi, au lieu d'utiliser Pages Manager ou Creator Studio , vous avez maintenant un autre moyen de piloter tout ça… Vous vous dites, ok mais là ça fait vraiment doublon. Il ya quoi de plus ?Le gros plus de Business Suite, c'est son outil de stats qui permet d'obtenir un peu plus facilement un aperçu complet de vos performances Instagram et Facebook en un seul endroit.Creator Studio propose également des contenus stats, mais il est plus axé sur les performances des publications vidéo.400 000 jeunes vont voter grâce à SnapchatPour ceux qui nous écoute depuis longtemps, j’avais fait une prédiction sur le fait qu’un jour on voterait sur les réseaux, pour des sondages par exemple.Et bien on se rapproche de plus en plus de ça avec Snapchat !Snapchat a annoncé il y a un mois que les utilisateurs allaient pouvoir bénéficier de nouvelles fonctionnalités pour inciter les jeunes à aller voter.Et oui, il y a beaucoup de jeunes sur Snapchat, et on sait que c’est une tranche d’âge qui vote peu.Alors en prévision des élections présidentielles américaines Snapchat a décidé de faire son devoir citoyen. Selon le réseau, les jeunes veulent voter mais ne savent pas vraiment comment faire.Donc Snapchat n’incite pas juste à voter, mais fournit des informations et des ressources pour savoir comment on doit s’y prendre pour voter !Snapchat a carrément lancé une mini-application avec TurboVote pour inscrire les utilisateurs sur les listes électorales. Grâce à cette application plus de 400 000 personnes se sont inscrites sur les listes électorales. C’est complètement fou !Snapchat estime que ce n’est pas suffisant d’aider les jeunes à s’inscrire sur les listes électorales, faut-il encore qu’ils aillent voter !Ils vont donc diffuser des vidéos dans les prochains jours avec des stars américaines qui expliquent l’importance du vote !On retrouve Barack Obama, Snoop Dogg et bien d’autres…Le NewYork Times signe un accord avec Spark Ar pour une série de filtre Instagram très très informatifsLes lecteurs peuvent interagir avec les effets sur la page de profil du compte Instagram @NYTimes.Le principe est simple mais ambitieux. Permettre aux abonnés du compte d’intégrer à leur stories des éléments informatifs très sérieux par dessus leur selfie et de réagir aux sujets proposés par le NYTIMES.Par exemple : vous avez en ce moment un filtre insta sur les incendies en Californie. Lorsque vous utilisez ce filtre vous y trouvez des légendes informatives très sérieuse qui s’affiche sur vos images.Pour soutenir la prod de ces filtres, The Times lance un nouveau laboratoire AR d'une douzaine d'employés. Le laboratoire, aux côtés d'une équipe de rédaction dédiée, sera responsable du développement des effets AR et travaillera avec la plate-forme Spark AR de Facebook comme technologie sous-jacente.. . .Le Super Daily est le podcast quotidien sur les réseaux sociaux.

Mickey talks with Katharine Hill and Tanya Rhodes Smith about Political Social Work, and the role all nonprofits should play in encouraging their stakeholders to vote. Our conversation covers: Nonpartisan voter engagement is legal, ethical and professional and central to building power in the communities that nonprofits work within. Communities with high voter turnout report greater well-being, and more resources and attention from elected officials. Presidential elections get most attention but voting in every election is critical. State and municipal elections have the lowest turnout yet the decisions are not less important. Issues like education, policing policy, housing, clean water, transportation, voting, healthcare, etc. all have state and local implications. Structural barriers to voting- voter id laws, felon disenfranchisement laws, confusing and complicated voter registration requirements, etc- are not accidental. They are intended to limit power and access. Social workers (and people who work in nonprofits more generally) should work to overturn these laws so that voting is more accessible Voting is an act of power yet most people don’t vote because they don’t trust the system or believe their vote doesn’t matter. Nonprofits can help change this narrative by asking people to vote and sharing why it matters. Nonvoters are more likely to be younger, less educated, less wealthy and nonwhite so their voice and power is diminished relative to voters who are more likely to be educated, white and wealthier. Integrating voter engagement into nonprofit settings isn’t hard to do- it can be built into activities and settings that already exist. There are great resources out there to support people who want to do this (Voting Is Social Work, Nonprofit Vote, TurboVote, Vote.org, League of Women Voters, etc). We welcome support of the Nonprofit SnapCast via Patreon. We welcome your questions and feedback via The Nonprofit Snapshot website.

Empowering citizens Many Americans are unsure of how their government works. Civic education is the manual for democracy, which Civics 101 offers in the form of a popular podcast. Over the last hundred years, the United States became more democratic through the activism and litigation of concerned and well-educated citizens. Still, some unfairness in our system prevails. One important holdover from the institution of slavery is the Electoral College, which was originally designed to grant outsized electoral power to slaveholding states. The system continues to give about one third of American voters an advantage at the expense of the majority. Our responsibility is to understand the rules, participate, and empower ourselves to make this democracy work us. Undermining the Press The President is allowed to say whatever he wants about the press as a private citizen because of his First Amendment protections. However, the President cannot use the power of the federal government to exact reprisals against the press. For instance, when the White House revoked press passes earlier this year, it contravened the Constitution. Never before has a President undermined and used retributive action against the press like this, and other countries are taking note. Repressive measures like these come directly from an authoritarian playbook, and according to PEN America, the number of journalists jailed worldwide for “fake news” tripled last year because of it. America was once the moral leader on free speech issues around the world, but the current administration’s repressive tactics are withering that leadership. Technology for Democracy Democracy Works remedies some of the most pervasive and mundane reasons we don’t vote. TurboVote is a tool that enables online voter registration, sends out election day reminders, and even provides absentee ballots. Those mailed-in ballots are then tracked by the Ballot Scout initiative. The Voting Information Project produces the polling place and ballot data that is then used by Google and get-out-the-vote drives. By using current technology to take the hassle of voting out of our busy lives, the initiatives of Democracy Works are building a more engaged society. Citizens’ forum Deliberative mini publics innovate democracy by engaging citizens in constructive dialogue about the issues facing society. While many in parliament assumed citizens would always favor more spending and lower taxes, it turned out that voters who were presented with detailed information came to develop nuanced policy positions. After listening to presentations by experts, they actually favored higher taxes in certain areas and reached complex compromises about government spending. By doing so, they proved to lawmakers and skeptics that ordinary Irish citizens could be trusted with vital policy work. Find out more: Future Hindsight is a weekly podcast that aims to spark civic engagement through in-depth conversations with citizen changemakers. American democracy is a living, breathing mechanism whose well-being deserves to be cultivated and protected, and now more than ever, the need to be an engaged citizen is critical. We explore how each of us has the power to shape our society and fulfill our shared civic responsibility. You can follow us on Twitter @futur_hindsight and our host Mila Atmos @milaatmos

Partnering for Success Democracy Works collaborates with voters, state partners, and corporations to create more successful elections. Since being founded in 2012, TurboVote has registered over 7 million new voters, with 2.5 million in 2018 alone. Moreover, 63% of them were millennials or younger. Successful voter registration came through heavy reliance on partnerships, including with over 130 universities and Snapchat. When Facebook reminds you to vote, it’s because of a TurboVote partnership. The Voting Information Project partnership with Google provides accurate polling locations and ballot information. Partnerships with 46 states help streamline the election and voting processes. TurboVote Challenge The TurboVote Challenge is the premier corporate coalition championing civic engagement in America. Its goal is to reach 80% voter turnout by 2024. In order to achieve record-breaking voter turnout, we cannot rely on the government and politicians alone. Instead, everyone must play a part and treat everyone like citizens and voters. Learning institutions need to register their students; companies need to work to motivate both employees and customers; and everyday citizens need to vote and encourage others to vote as well. Democracy is strongest when we are all participating and voting.  Find out more: Seth Flaxman co-founded Democracy Works while studying at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. The Democracy Works’ tool TurboVote has been used by more than 7 million Americans to register to vote, and provides a suite of other tools to simplify voting for everyday citizens. Democracy Works also started the Voting Information Project, a widely accessible public information project designed to remove voting barriers by providing easily searchable polling place locations, ballot information, and other official election information. Thanks to a partnership with Google, the VIP is used by millions of voters around the country. Seth earned an undergraduate degree from Columbia University and was student body president there. In 2011, he was honored as one of Forbes magazine's '30 Under 30' in the field of law and policy. Seth is also a Draper Richards Kaplan entrepreneur and Ashoka Fellow.

Dan and Mike chat with Russell Glass, co-author of Voting with a Porpoise. Voting with a Porpoise is a new children's book focused on fostering a discussion around civic engagement and voting with younger kids. The authors describe the purpose of the book as:  to help change the culture around elections and voting. To that end, 100 percent of the profits for Voting With a Porpoise will be donated to 501(c)(3) non-partisan voting-related causes focused on getting more people of all backgrounds to the polls, such as Rock the Vote, Vote.org, TurboVote, and others. We talk to Russell about his own background and drive to write this children's story. He discusses his own experiences with voting and his family which helped shape his desire to join this conversation. How did he and co-author Sean Callahan decide on marine animals as the focus? How hard was it to land on a rhyming meter that worked? What are the long term goals for the book? Will Petey the Porpoise swim into our lives in a sequel?  All that and a great podcast pun awaits you on this land and sea adventure.

Gabrielle Bernstein has been my friend and mentor for over 4 years now. She's the real deal, helping people all over the world with her books and lectures, but the thing I admire most about Gabby is how much she truly loves what she does. Her passion for her work is what's most inspiring to me. I hope she never stops writing and creating and I really don't think she will. This book The Universe Has Your Back (out today!) is super timely with everything going on in the world. There's a worldly need for growth beyond our own personal development onto how we're going to navigate the tumultuous times we're living in. In today's episode Gabby talks about why this book was the most challenging to write and took double the amount of time than her pervious books, where the idea for the book came from, and how this book is different from her previous books.
