It comes from a former labor community organizer Vanessa Priya Daniel, who is the founder of one of the nation's premiere funders of women of color led organizations. [Encore airing]

In the U.S., many of the most significant social justice victories of our time have been spearheaded by women of color leaders. From the streets, to the ballot box, to elected office, no other demographic group stands up more consistently and unequivocally for human rights, democracy, and the planet. Remarkably, they've accomplished this despite conditions—in their fields and organizations—that make leadership uniquely treacherous for them. For women of color leaders, the game is rigged. How much more could humanity be winning if we unrigged it? What might be possible, in this clutch moment of history, with so much on the line, if movements stopped benching our best in ways that negatively impact the scoreboard for everybody?Unrig the Game: What Women of Color Can Teach Everyone About Winning (Random House, 2025) equips us to support effective women of color leaders so we can all win. A former community and union organizer who started one of the largest foundations to resource women of color-led organizing, Vanessa Priya Daniel draws on candid interviews with forty-five prominent women of color movement leaders, along with her own experience at the helm of an organization, to offer an on-the-ground perspective of the obstacles leaders face, how they navigate them, and how allies can show up. Daniel highlights the unique strengths and “superpowers” these leaders bring to the fight for social change, while debunking the myth that identity alone makes a transformative leader.For women of color leaders, this book is a balm, a sister circle, and a master class.

On episode 234, we welcome Vanessa Daniel to discuss the personal and professional challenges women of color face, how trauma influenced Vanessa's understanding of the world, how to understand intersectionality, what it means to leave no marginalized groups behind as democrats fight for power, the importance of solidarity in addressing individual trauma, 360 degree vision, the lack of courage among democratic leaders, appealing to voters, why the left isn't immune from criticism, and what cancel culture gets wrong. Vanessa Priya Daniel has worked in social justice movements for twenty-five years as a labor and community organizer and funder. She founded and served for seventeen years as executive director of Groundswell Fund, a leading funder of women of color-led grassroots and electoral organizing.

Political divisions are driving wedges at all levels, national, state, communities, and families. The fracture may seem unbridgable. But Americans agree that our government does not work for us. It works for the rich and powerful. Even acknowledging the problem can make you feel overwhelmed, and the knee-jerk reaction is often to look away because the solution feels impossible to achieve.  In this episode, Daniel G. Newman joins host Mary Whiteside to discuss his graphic novel Unrig: How to fix our broken democracy, art by George O'Connor. Unrig a nonfiction graphic novel by democracy reform leader Daniel G. Newman and artist George O'Connor takes readers on a journey. First it explains how the system is rigged in favor of the rich and powerful and then highlights the heroic efforts of those unrigging the system to limit the influence of big/dark money and to return political power to the voters.  ​”If you're overwhelmed by negative news and despairing for the direction of our country, Unrig is a tonic that will restore your faith and reveal the path forward to fix our broken democracy.” Find us on Twitter - Daniel is @danielgnewman, and the podcast is @courtpod.

President Joe Biden is taking the first steps towards altering the US Supreme Court. He's appointed a commission to study judicial reform. Advocacy groups in favor of reform have launched an effort called "Unrig the Courts." It seeks to both increase the number of justices and impose term limits on them as well. Senior Washington correspondent Paul Strand has been interviewing legal scholars about these proposals. He's on today's CBN News Daily Rundown.

How do you reform a system that you've benefited from? Is it possible to push forward meaningful change across the sharpest partisan divide in decades? This episode of Unrig the System features current and former members of Congress from across the aisle discussing the importance of democratic institutions and policies that ensure that all Americans are represented in government. Listen in on a candid conversation between sitting and former representatives about the opportunities and obstacles involved with fixing a broken system from the inside. • Moderator: Meredith McGehee, Executive Director, Issue One • Speaker 1: Rep. Tim Burchett, U.S. House of Representatives (R-TN) • Speaker 2: Rep. Jim Cooper, U.S. House of Representatives (D-TN) • Speaker 2: Former Rep. Zach Wamp, U.S. House of Representatives (R-TN)

Episode Three of Unrig the System Podcast discusses the impacts of the prison industrial complex—and bipartisan solutions for unrigging our criminal justice system. Special interests exploit our corrupt political system to pad their bottom lines, maligning our criminal justice system and keeping Americans behind bars in the process. Now, an unresponsive Congress and a hardened Department of Justice have pushed the issue of criminal justice reform to the state and local levels. But exciting new bipartisan coalitions are pushing back, coming together on two particular high-impact reforms—overhauling our lobbying laws and changing how we choose state court judges—that can help redefine what's possible for both the democracy and criminal justice communities. • Moderator: DeRay Mckesson, Civil Rights Activist, Author, and Host of Pod Save the People; Campaign Zero • Speaker 1: The Honorable Penny White, Professor of Law, University of Tennessee College of Law; Former Justice of the Tennessee Supreme Court • Speaker 2: Julie Warren, Tennessee State Director, Right on Crime; Fellow, Beacon Center • Speaker 3: Rev. Jeannie Alexander, Director, No Exceptions Prison Collective • Speaker 4: Keshia Morris, Mass Incarceration & Census Project Manager, Common Cause

Episode Two of Unrig the System Podcast kicks off with a robust conversation about breaking big money’s grip on power amidst a crisis in confidence in the U.S. Supreme Court. These panelists are an unrivaled group of experts and activists showing how new strategies—from candidate pledges to forego corporate cash or Super PAC support, to the full launch of the breakthrough "democracy vouchers" program—give us plenty of reasons to keep pushing the limits of what's possible. We also hear first hand from the Chair of the FEC and explore the most important campaign finance legislation in congressional history. This is a panel about opportunity, about hope, and about you as the future of our movement. • Moderator: Scott Greytak, Senior Counsel, RepresentUs • Speaker 1: The Honorable Ellen Weintraub, Chair, Federal Election Commission • Speaker 2: The Honorable Zach Wamp, former member of Congress (R-TN) and Co-Chair, Issue One ReFormers Caucus • Speaker 3: Dan Tokaji, Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Faculty, Ohio State University Moritz College of Law • Speaker 4: Liz Dupee, Director, Washington Democracy Hub

California Republican National Committee member Shawn Steel was included in the latest episode of KPCC's "AirTalk" to discuss the Independent Voter Project's (IVP) public ballot solution to California's confusing and unconstitutional presidential primaries. During the interview, Steel said he supports the proposal. IVP has made this reform proposal its top priority headed into the 2020 presidential election. Stay tuned for more updates.

There is a movement looking to fix the rigged American political system on the rise and I feel we need to take a look at what could be...

IVN Editor Shawn Griffiths talks with Center for Election Science Executive Director Aaron Hamlin about a new voting method that he says would ensure no candidate is ever a spoiler and every vote counts. It's called approval voting, and it was adopted for the first time in US history by the city of Fargo in 2018. When city officials refused to take it up, reformers kept the fight going and rallied voter support to pass the historic reform. Approval voting in Fargo was just one of the many nonpartisan election and political reforms that swept the nation in the 2018 midterms, and organizations like the Center for Election Science are setting their sights on more reforms in 2020. Shawn and Aaron discuss approval voting, the Center for Election Science, a newly received $1.8 million grant to be used in future campaigns, and what this could mean for high-profile elections, like a crowded presidential field.

Aired Tuesday, 29 January 2019, 5:00 PM ESTIt’s Time For Right and Left to Come Front and Center to UNRIG the SystemAn Interview with Represent.Us National Organizing Manager James Jameson“It seems that government of, by and for the people is missing a key component — the PEOPLE.” — Swami BeyondanandaI’ve said it before, and it is worth repeating.In these times of intense political polarization, we have a DEEPLY UNITED body politic. More than 90% of us agree — we aren’t being represented … the two-party system is rigged … we need to make sure that the “free speech” of unbridled campaign spending doesn’t drown out the free speech that points us beyond the status quo.Consider the 2014 study by Princeton University Professor Martin Gilens and Northwestern University Professor Benjamin Page that concluded that the USA is for all intents and purposes an “oligarchy” because the views of the general public have very little sway over what legislation does or doesn’t get passed — particularly when the public will is in conflict with the special interests who “own” the politicians. Consider this mind-blowing statistic: On average, a US Senator must raise $14,000 a month for six years to pay for her or his re-election campaign. That’s some $30.6 million! Do the math … do the aftermath!Meanwhile, according to CBS News some $6.8 billion was spent on the 2016 Presidential election, while just 31% of the people thought the election process “was working as well as it could.”If we consider that $6.8 billion is larger than the economies of Argentina and Poland, that’s a lot of money to spend on a campaign that leaves 70% of us unsatisfied!Fortunately, my guest today James Jameson, the National Organizing Director of Represent.Us, is here with some good news for a change — anti-corruption and election reform activists from across the political spectrum are uniting to “unrig the system” — and are planning their second annual Unrig the System Summit in Nashville at the end of March.James Jameson is an experienced political activist, who has worked on several successful campaigns in New England. Starting off with fundraising for the 2012 Marriage Equality campaign in Maine, James has led canvas efforts in three states and field efforts in two. During the 2016 election cycle, James was the New Hampshire Out-of-State Director for Bernie Sanders before joining his National Advance Team, traveling to 27 states, and building rallies of thousands of people. Since first getting into political campaigning, James has been passionate about electoral reform, and was involved with Maine’s Ranked Choice Voting victory.Represent.us has as its key platform piece the American Anti-Corruption Act, whose intention it is to:* Stop political bribery by making it illegal for lobbyists to lobby a politician and donate to their campaign. You can lobby, or you can donate, but you can’t do both. * End secret money so Americans know who is buying political power. * Fix our broken elections so the people, not the political establishment, are the ones in control.If you’re tired of the “dogma-eat-dogma” battle of the two political sides, you will find this conversation quite refreshing, as James discusses the American Anti- Corruption Act, and the dozens and dozens of successful state and local campaigns to end gerrymandering, install “ranked-choice voting” and other voting reforms, and establish public financing of elections.

Aired Tuesday, 6 November 2018, 5:00 PM ESTDonald Trump Is Awakening People, Left and RightAn Interview with Dr. Chuck Baldwin, Moral Majority and Christian Coalition Pioneer, and Constitutional Party Presidential Candidate in 2008“Either we will have an awakening — or a wake.” — Swami BeyondanandaIn the summer of 2015, I was waiting to board the Larkspur Ferry to take me to San Francisco for a Giants game. In the waiting area, there was a huge TV screen tuned to CNN. Donald Trump was on, and the sound was off.As I watched Trump’s gesticulation, facial expressions, and fist pumping, I looked at a fellow passenger, and we both said it at the same time — Adolf Hitler.Now more than three years later, I have seen nothing to make me think otherwise. What was clear to me then is even clearer now. What I was looking at was a megalomaniacal sociopath, who would do anything and say anything to benefit himself, and who would ultimately destroy whatever he touched. I saw a pathological liar and demagogue, with no respect for the rule of law — or the rule of love.While we have seen “dishonest” politicians before, and those involved in deep, dark misdoings, what I was looking at was someone entirely different and more sinister — someone who had the mindset and the chutzpah to make himself dictator. You might laugh at this individual who has been parodied and caricatured as a bumbling fool. They laughed at Hitler too. While Donald Trump is no “Hitler” in the sense that he has no overriding mission or ideology, his rhetoric landed with the same kinds of ordinary folks who supported Hitler.At the Unrig the System conference in New Orleans this past February, I met a number of (oxymoron alert) “moderate Republicans” who saw the clear and present danger not just in Trump, but in the Vichy Republicans in Congress blindly following him. I met Richard Painter, a former Bush administration official who has officially changed parties and became a Democrat running for the Senate in Minnesota. Since that time he has been joined by Republicans Steve Schmidt and most recently Max Boot, who exhorted moderate Republicans to vote Democrat this year in an attempt to stop that other “boot” — Jack Boot — from having control of all three branches of government and establishing a de facto fascist regime.Something that has been both puzzling and vexing to most observers, however, is how so many Evangelical Christians have fallen into lockstep behind Trump, despite the man’s — to put it too gently — “moral failings.”Our guest on Wiki Politiki this week has the perspective and background to speak to this issue. Dr. Chuck Baldwin is a conservative Christian minister, a disciple of Jerry Falwell and a founder of the Christian Coalition. After becoming a Republican in 1980 to support Ronald Reagan, he left the party during the George W. Bush presidency to join Ron Paul’s Constitution Party. Without compromising his conservative ideas — he is a Second Amendment advocate who believes in “open carry” — he offers his view of how and why the majority of his cohorts have taken the wrong road, and have become in his words “infatuated with” Donald Trump, whom he sees as an enemy of freedom, and everything the United States stands for.On this very significant Election Day, which will — rightly or not — be an up or down vote for Donald Trump, tune into this highly-unusual interview and you’ll be encouraged that the “great upwising” and awakening is occurring on all sides.Tuesday, November 6th at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET : http://omtimes.com/iom/shows/wiki-politiki-radio-show/Or, find us on the Wiki archives on Wednesday: http://wikipolitiki.com/archives/To find out more about Dr. Chuck Baldwin and his work, please go here: https://chuckbaldwinlive.com/Home.aspxSupport Wiki Politiki — A Clear Voice In The “Bewilderness”If you LOVE what you hear, and appreciate the mission of Wiki Politiki, “put your money where your mouse is” … Join the “upwising” — join the conversation, and become a Wiki Politiki supporter: http://wikipolitiki.com/join-the-upwising/Make a contribution in any amount via PayPal (https://tinyurl.com/y8fe9dks)Go ahead, PATRONIZE me!

In the latest episode of "In Full Color," IVN Editor Shawn Griffiths talks with RepresentUs Political Director Dan Krassner about the historic year for anti-corruption and political reform initiatives. So far, there have been 9 victories since January that have taken major steps to unrig the system, and there are several ballot measures in states across the country that could add to this monumental year for change. These efforts have brought people together from across the political spectrum -- independent voters, nonpartisan organizations, conservatives, progressives, and everyone outside and in-between who are united by the shared idea that the system is not working for the people and something needs to change. Dan and Shawn talk about the significance of the reform efforts currently underway, what the explosive growth in reform activism means for the future, and how RepresentUS -- the nation's largest grassroots, anti-corruption organization in the US -- will be involved. Be sure to leave any comments, questions, feedback you have. We want to hear from you. Thanks for listening! And as always... stay independent!

Aired Tuesday, 13 February 2018, 5:00 PM ESTEngaging the Other - Finding TRUE Common Ground in the Age of PolarizationA Conversation With Steve Olweean, Director Common Bond Institute“Before we have peace in the Middle East, we first need to create peace in the Middle West.” — Swami BeyondanandaMy colleague Bruce Lipton, cellular biologist, tells us that the next phase of human evolution is an evolution in consciousness, where we recognize that we are each and all cells in the larger body of humanity. If that is true, it’s easy to see how so much of our resource and intention is tied up in obsolete and “obsolethal” forms of interactivity that can best be seen as autoimmune disease. After all, when healthy humans on two sides of an issue spend their time and energy in combat, two things happen. First, warfare endangers not just the lives of those engaged in the conflict, but life on the planet. Secondly, precious energy and resources that could be used to work together is being dissipated and wasted.That’s why last weekend’s Unrig the System Summit in New Orleans was so encouraging … 1,500 “proactivists” (i.e., proactively moving forward as an alternative to reactively resisting) who get what Bruce and I concluded in Spontaneous Evolution — that the Darwinian notion of “survival of the fittest” has now proven to be “thrival of the fittingest.” Those who cooperate, survive and thrive.Indeed, this evolutionary upwising is well on its way, even if we don’t see it on the news.Our guest this week, Steve Olweean from the Common Bond Institute is a therapist who has spent the past 35 years in community mental health, serving underserved populations, specializing in trauma and abuse recovery, victim/perpetrator dynamics, crisis intervention, dissociative disorders, and healing negative belief systems. Since 2001, he has focused on creating cross-cultural dialogue both here and abroad to create mutual trust and understanding between Muslim and non-Muslim populations.This April, the Common Bond Institute under Steve’s direction will be holding its 8th annual Engaging the Other conference in Madison, Wisconsin. It is described as an interactive, working conference to:* Address rising polarization and animosity in our society * Advance a wider public dialogue about toxic images of “Us and Them,” * and Promote positive joint action for compassionate remedies and healing in our relationship with a perceived “Other.”Our conversation this week will focus on both the opportunities and challenges in “engaging the other”, and will focus his experiences both in the Middle East … and the Middle West. He writes: “The Other often conjures up images of strange faces, practices, and beliefs, usually in faraway places. At the same time that it challenges our understanding, our sense of normalcy, and sometimes our sense of security, it is a label we all share.”In other words, we are each an “other” to each other.Tune in this Tuesday, February 13th and find out how such “living laboratories” can unleash “the speed of trust” and turn conflict into collaboration.

Does the tax code work for you or special interests? Deductions and loopholes favor those with lawyers who can navigate the complicated tax code, while at the same time America’s corporate and personal tax rates hamstring the economy. Thankfully, Congress and the president are working on a plan to unrig the code and make it work for everyday Americans. In this special episode of Prosperity Podcast, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House Director of Legislative Affairs Marc Short join AFP President Tim Phillips to discuss the future of tax reform. *All opinions expressed on this podcast do not necessarily reflect the opinion of Americans for Prosperity.

Nick Troiano, earned a Master’s degree in American Government from Georgetown University, and is currently a civic entrepreneur based in San Francisco, CA.

VL EXCLUSIVE - A man we have been following, personally, for years now, who we consider to be brilliant, honest and a leader in this country â?? Robert David Steele, just talked to us about pedo-gate, Comet Ping Pong, the NSA, the FBI, the CIA, Zionism, the Rothchilds, Soros, 9/11, the electoral reform, the shadow government, and his thoughts on President Trump and what he needs to do to be the greatest President in modern history!

Deal With it https://www.amazon.com/Democracy-Riot... Vice: Dick Cheney and the Hijacking of the American Presidency: https://www.amazon.com/Vice-Cheney-Hi... Of particular interest wsa the role of Wikileaks, Vault 7, and the role of Bruce Cooper Clarke, a former Deputy Director of the CIA and expert cryptographer. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/wash... Evidently Mr. Clarke and his protégé, a musician, and a leading linux visionary created Cicada 3301 with the idea of it being a vehicle to expose the Deep State and ensure personal privacy. The protégé created the concept and Clarke and the tech pioneer assembled a team to create the ciphers. Wikileaks has created a cryptic series of clues on Vault 7 that was inspired by Cicada 3301. Mr. Steele has created a memo for President Trump and we ask that you include #UNRIG and #ItsTime if you plan to post this video. We are in a civil war folks, and our freedom and values are at risk. The #AmericanRevolt has begun. Robert David Steele The truth at any cost lowers all other costs robertdavidsteele.com

Get this video out to Trump's Twitter and send it everywhere! Trump has a rat whispering in his ear who will NEVER unrig the phony US election system. I verified this information directly with God. God told me everything Robert Steele is saying here is accurate - it's all true! Reince Preibus is a rat! Donald Trump MUST do electoral reform and UNRIG the system within the first 90 days of his term. When he begins this process he will see the hidden agenda of Reince Preibus!

Robert David Steele: False FlagsThe author, a former spy who managed a false flag for the CIA (no one died) provides a mix of original and previously posted material that aggregates in one place most of what any citizen needs to know about false flag attacks as a tool of state.The next false flag attack will probably be a fake pandemic that includes the locking down of major urban areas, and the imposition of a vaccination that weakens substantial portions of the public while killing off a significant number of Alt-Right activists.Our legitimately elected president Donald Trump will not -- unlike the Prime Minister of England -- be witting of the planned false flag, which is part of the four track strategy to destroy Donald Trump and turn the government over to Deep State stand-in Mike Pence.Included in this offering is the table of contents for the forthcoming #13 in the Trump Revolution series, Taking Down the Deep State: A Presidential Briefing.It is possible for We the People to take back the power in the next 120 days, particularly if Donald Trump, Rand Paul, and Tulsi Gabbard join Cynthia McKinney and I in mobilizing a national conversation in June and the occupation of the front lawns and home offices of every Member of Congress during the summer recess when they cannot hide from constituents.#UNRIG. The 2nd American Revolution has begun, but only each of you can -- in the aggregate, in Unity for Integrity -- finish the job.God Bless Donald Trump and God Bless America.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement
