“I stuck with what I care about,” Rebecca Sive is proud to say after working as a political activist and strategist for more than five decades. And she is still pushing for what she believes in with relentless persistence. Her interest in politics started young. She joined her father at the age of 8 as he campaigned for Congress. Her activism grew in college as she witnessed inequality within her campus and throughout the area, leading her to become a community organizer and later, when she moved to Chicago, an advisor to celebrities, business leaders, public officials, political candidates, philanthropists, and organizational leaders. She shares with Jeanne the meaning of sisterhood, the importance of being a present member in your community, why several heads are better than one, how to dissect a failure to learn from your mistakes, and some special insights into working with Chicago's first Black mayor Harold Washington. About Rebecca: Rebecca Sive is the author of three books on American women's politics and power; a women's leadership strategist, motivational speaker, experienced media analyst, and a past faculty member of the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy and statewide governmental official. She co-produced and co-hosted the podcast, #VoteHerIn, with Two Broads Talking Politics, a “best political podcast,” according to Parade magazine. Sive's articles and op-eds have appeared in The Huffington Post, Crain's Chicago Business, The Hill, at MSNBC, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, The Chicago Sun-Times, and elsewhere. Rebecca is the founding director of one of the nation's first women's centers, founding commissioner of the Illinois Human Rights Commission, a leader and advisor of the campaign to elect Chicago's first African American mayor (Harold Washington), and appointee of his as a Commissioner, Chicago Park District. Sive was among the national decision makers who developed women's issues agendas for US presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. She holds an M.A. in American History and is the recipient of many awards for her public leadership, including from the United Negro College Fund, the YWCA, the Jaycees, and her alma maters, the University of Illinois, and Carleton College. She is listed in Feminists Who Changed America, University of Illinois Press (2006).

Throughout her life, Shirley Chisholm fought for coalitional change. She was the first Black woman elected to the United States Congress in 1968, the first Black woman to run for President of the United States in 1972, co-founder of both the Congressional Black Caucus and the National Women's Political Caucus, both in 1971, and co-founder of the National Congress of Black Women in 1984. Toward the end of her life, Chisholm told an interviewer: “I want history to remember me … as a Black woman who lived in the 20th century and who dared to be herself. I want to be remembered as a catalyst for change in America.”  Joining me in this episode is Dr. Anastasia Curwood, Professor of History and Director of the Commonwealth Institute for Black Studies at the University of Kentucky, and author of Shirley Chisholm: Champion of Black Feminist Power Politics.  Our theme song is Frogs Legs Rag, composed by James Scott and performed by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under Creative Commons.

Special #MakeHerstory edition of #VoteHerIn, a collaboration of Two Broads Talking Politics & author Rebecca SiveWith Illinois Deputy Gov Sol A. Flores and strategist Alex Sims.Sol Flores serves as deputy governor in Illinois Governor JB Pritzker's administration overseeing Health and Human Services since February 2019. As Deputy Governor, she helped oversee the administration's response to COVID-19, including housing relief and vaccination efforts. Additionally, Flores spearheads the administration's efforts around poverty alleviation, hunger relief, expanding healthcare access to all, and strengthening the state's safety nets for its most vulnerable residents. She was the founding executive director of La Casa Norte, a non-profit organization established in 2002 that has served more than 30,000 youth and families confronting homelessness. Flores built La Casa Norte from two employees to a multi-million-dollar organization delivering inspiration, hope, and critical services. She is a tireless advocate, having served on numerous working groups, commissions, and nonprofit boards. Flores was raised by a single mother who came to Chicago from Puerto Rico, who was recognized as a national Champion of Change by President Barack Obama.Alexandra (Alex) P. Sims believes that one's birthplace and economic status shouldn't negatively affect one's life journey, and her career has taught her that real change is brought about when there is synergy, empathy, and aligned purposes among all public affairs sectors: business, government, philanthropy, and grassroots organizing. Alex came to Chicago from metro Detroit to attend Northwestern University. Awarded the prestigious CORO Fellowship, Alex was assigned by the CORO program to serve in the St. Louis, Missouri area. Motivated by President Barack Obama's education and social policies, Alex was appointed to head his 2012 Presidential campaign for the St. Louis region. Following Obama's victory, Alex continued as a State Coordinator with Organizing for Action (OFA), relocating to Chicago. It was in Chicago there that she founded Every Vote Counts, where she directed the registration of over 120,000 voters in 4 four months - the largest voter registration campaign in the country that year. While Senior Advisor to the City of Chicago Treasurer, she launched an aggressive and strategic agenda of financial equity and access. Now, founder and CEO of APS and Associates, she counsels numerous clients, including The Obama Foundation and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.Both Sol and Alex are graduates of the women in public leadership initiative created by Rebecca Sive for the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy.

On the 500TH EPISODE of Two Broads Talking Politics, Kelly & Sophy look back at what's changed in the past three and a half years and look ahead to what comes next.

#NotoriousRBG is a unique phenomenon in American history. Only the second woman to serve on the US Supreme Court, she led the way, beginning in the 1970s, in pursuing legal remedies for discrimination against American women and girls. At the same time, she developed a singular public voice and presence; atypical of Supreme Court justices and, as such, becoming a widely, and wildly, iconic figure in pop culture. The biography by authors Irin Carmon and Shana Knizhnik, is a delightful combination of stories, images of mementos and photographs, and a serious account of her role in making legal history and a fairer world for every American woman.Irin Carmon joins us for this week’s #VoteHerIn podcast, a collaboration of Two Broads Talking Politics & author Rebecca Sive.

Michelle Duster, great-granddaughter of Ida B. Wells, and author of Ida B. the Queen: The Extraordinary Life and Legacy of Ida B. Wells, joins us for this week’s #VoteHerIn podcast, a collaboration of Two Broads Talking Politics & author Rebecca Sive,

Ashley Spillane, a past president of Rock the Vote and advisor to Pizza to the Polls, and a voter turnout strategist, joins us for this week’s #VoteHerIn podcast, a collaboration of Two Broads Talking Politics & author Rebecca Sive, to discuss mobilizing and increasing women’s voter turnout for women candidates and other progressive candidates and causes. What works? What doesn’t? What are the best messages?

Illinois Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, a former State Representative and a leader in criminal justice reform, joins us for this week’s #VoteHerIn podcast, a collaboration of Two Broads Talking Politics & author Rebecca Sive. Last week, we witnessed the historic inauguration of the first Black, South Asian, and woman, as Vice-President of the US. Millions of women here at-home, as well as around the world, were jumping up and down for joy. We’ll discuss Kamala Harris’s ascension to this role, and what its significance is in terms of Black women’s rise to political and governmental power. We’ll also discuss the role of the Vice President, which has, of course, varied tremendously from president to president. And, we’ll explore the exponential rise of Black women to political power and governmental office, in a myriad of contexts, including the US Congress.

A new series for the #VoteHerIn podcast, a collaboration between Two Broads Talking Politics and author Rebecca Sive, focuses on women artists whose work or context is political, including women ceramists.

It's hard to believe there have already been seven expansions for World of Warcraft, with an eighth, Shadowlands, on the horizon (possibly the far, far horizon).

Before we get to that, however, we have our regular follow-ups (including our first listener mail) and news (including Ion Hazzikostas chiming in on some things we've talked about recently). Find Rafe on Twitter and check out his other podcast Have Not Seen This.Find Chris on Twitter.Find Alora on Twitter.Follow the show on social media on Twitter and Facebook!Subscribe to get all our future episodes.

Imagine if your Instagram bio read, "First of her name, smasher of the patriarchy, mother of sons, leader of committees, warrior for social justice, dweller by the water, knitter of hats, Master of Religious Studies". WHAT AN INTRO!  Today we're talking to Kelly Pollock, she of the amazing bio, and we'll be discussing her work in politics, what made her take action and get involved (spoiler: It was Trump) and plenty about the upcoming American presidential election. Kelly is the Associate Dean of Students at the University of Chicago in the Division of Social Sciences, but on top of that, is a Democratic Party activist and host of Two Broads Talking Politics, a massively influential podcast which aims to discuss the current state of US politics, champion women in all aspects of politics and shine a light on what others can do to help. Kelly started out by knitting pussy hats for the Women's March, and she's now got nearly 30,000 Twitter followers, so she knows a thing or two about growing a following. We also talked about anxiety, pressure, fashion in politics and loads more - she's a fascinating woman!

What does it mean to waste something? You have to value it first, then discard it, I think. But who decides, and how?   This becomes less cerebral and more real when the topic isn't a safe, high-level cerebral exercise, but instead a truly horrific and upsetting case of child abuse. We don't go into a ton of detail here, but it's enough for you to get the picture. Concepts like waste and value aren't just for the classroom.   Thanks again to Mo from Targeted: True Crime Domestic Violence for chatting with me, and please go binge her show right now if you haven't already.   Promos from Strictly Homicide and Two Broads Talking Politics, and please consider checking out the fabulous sponsors -- no cash back to me, but 15% off for you: Sudio Sweden (use code BLISS15) and Bath By Bex (use code CBDkate).
