This week, CURE America presents a compelling one-on-one interview by Donald T. Eason, President of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education, of Jonathan Alexandre, Vice President of Governmental Affairs and Senior Counsel at Liberty Counsel.   Join us for an insightful conversation as Donald T. Eason engages Jonathan Alexandre on vital issues shaping faith, family, and freedom. Alexandre shares his inspiring journey from a pastor's son in Boston to a dedicated advocate for religious liberty, sparked by a childhood realization at age seven to defend those persecuted for their faith. At Liberty Counsel, he champions the right to share the gospel boldly in today's challenging cultural landscape.   The discussion explores critical topics, including troubling trends in education, such as a Maryland case where a stellar student was denied graduation for opting out of a controversial gender identity curriculum. Alexandre highlights Liberty Counsel's pro bono work supporting parents, pastors, and individuals to protect their First Amendment rights and parental authority. They also address the abortion industry's harmful practices, particularly the dangers of abortion pills and the need to uphold the sanctity of life rooted in biblical values. Additionally, the conversation covers the importance of school choice, empowering parents to guide their children's education, and Liberty Counsel's efforts to support Israel while confronting rising anti-Semitism in America. This engaging and accessible interview offers practical insights and actionable steps for navigating today's cultural challenges with faith and conviction. Watch and listen to CURE America to explore these pressing issues and learn how you can get involved.

We're joined by Harvard professor Lizabeth Cohen to talk about how the era of Urban Renewal — and the arrival of Ed Logue — impacted Boston. From bulldozed neighborhoods, to a new city hall, to housing in Roxbury and Charlestown, this particular moment left its mark on the city. Cohen's award-winning book, Saving America's Cities: Ed Logue and the Struggle to Renew Urban America in the Suburban Age, takes a more complex view of this oft-reviled movement.

There's an area southeast of Lake Merritt that's lined with abandoned buildings, boarded up storefronts, vacant lots, and decrepit warehouses. The neighborhoods here, Clinton and San Antonio, are some of Oakland's oldest. Although there are also beautiful Victorian houses, long-established churches, and several thriving immigrant communities, including a stretch of Vietnamese establishments known as Little Saigon, this area has suffered from disinvestment and high crime rates for decades – why? Answering that question requires a trip through more than a century of Oakland history – from the Gold Rush up through the Urban Renewal era and beyond. Exploring this story illuminates not only the problems of these neighborhoods, but helps explain the rise and fall of entire cities. “The leading edge of development follows the wealthiest residents,” according to Mitchell Schwarzer, the author of “Hella Town: Oakland's History of Development and Disruption.” In this episode, Schwarzer unpacks that diagnosis, and what it means for older neighborhoods left to crumble as investors chase new frontiers. This conversation was inspired by Schwarzer's work with the San Antonio Station Alliance, a campaign advocating for the construction of a BART station and transit village.

Welcome to CURE AMERICA - THIS WEEK, hosted by Donald T. Eason, Pastor and President of CURE (Center for Urban Renewal and Education). The episode delves into Eason's Israel trip, where President Isaac Herzog declared, “This is our land, blessed by God,” emphasizing Israel's divine claim and the need for accessibility to all. The panel—Kristen A. Ullman, JD (President of Eagle Forum), Jonathan Alexandre (Vice President of Governmental Affairs, Liberty Counsel), and Marty Dannenfelser (Vice President of Government Relations and Coalitions, CURE)—explores President Trump's trade negotiations with over 70 countries, efforts to lower interest rates, and a 2025 budget resolution funding national security, border security, and tax cuts. Discussions cover misinformation surrounding federal spending cuts, the benefits of reduced illegal immigration, and block grants to states for fiscal control, clarifying that “cuts” mean slowing spending growth.   In a one-on-one interview, Dr. OJ Oleka, CEO of the State Financial Officers Foundation, shares his family's journey from Nigerian immigrants arriving in 1980 to achieving the American Dream through faith, education, and hard work. The conversation highlights financial literacy, school choice, and tithing as tools to combat poverty, with Oleka noting the biblical call in Malachi to “test” God through tithing for abundant blessings. He directs viewers to sfof.com for resources on state financial officers' literacy initiatives. The episode concludes with a panel discussion on a Supreme Court case challenging Maryland's LGBTQ curriculum for elementary students, which denies parental opt-outs. Topics include the ideological nature of materials like Pride Puppy, the elitist dismissal of parental authority, the curriculum's impact on young children, and the diverse plaintiffs (Christian, Muslim, Ethiopian Orthodox) opposing it. The panel advocates for school choice and parental opt-out rights, urging viewers to contact Congress in this faith-driven call to action.

In this episode of the Econ Dev Show, Dane Carlson speaks with Lindsay Greene, CEO of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, about transforming industrial spaces for modern manufacturing. Greene shares insights on the challenges of changing perceptions about manufacturing careers, the importance of integrating workforce development with economic strategy, and her unusual career path from investment banking to grocery e-commerce before leading a major industrial development.

Create flexible spaces like pop-up opportunities for businesses not ready to commit to permanent locations. Recognize the unique challenges of attracting grocery stores and develop targeted strategies for food access in underserved areas. Leverage social media (like Instagram) and accessible communication channels to connect with community members and businesses. Balance preservation of industrial/waterfront spaces with the need for evolution to meet modern economic needs. Build strategic partnerships that enhance both economic opportunity and quality of life for residents. Develop demonstration projects that showcase how traditional industries are transforming for the future. Consider how your personal and professional background, even if unconventional, brings valuable perspective to economic development work. Create open channels of communication between your executive team and the public to foster engagement and collaboration. Special Guest: Lindsay Greene.

Since the great war on poverty began in the 1960s, the poverty rate for blacks has not changed. Yet, the same politicians who claim they can break the cycle of poverty keep pushing the same failed policies.    That's why in this episode of CURE America with Star Parker, I lead a panel of Christians who work in public policy who believe we should take a Biblical point-of-view to finally break the cycle of poverty. It's the one method that I know, first-hand, actually works.   Join us by watching and sharing this important episode, Breaking the Cycle of Poverty, with your church members and all your friends on social media.  Guests include Dr. Anne Bradley with The Fund for American Studies, Jonathan Alexandre with Liberty Counsel Action, Joel Griffith with The Heritage Foundation, and Rev. Tim Latiff, who is the former Director of the Clergy Center at the Center for Urban Renewal and Education.

Are people struggling because they're victims of an unjust system? Is America seething with racism? Or is that simply a narrative to keep minority Americans from succeeding?

On today's show, we bring back one of our all-time favorite guests (and emeritus co-Producer / co-Founder of re:verb) Dr. Derek G. Handley to talk about his newly-published book, Struggle for the City: Rhetorics of Citizenship and Resistance in the Black Freedom Movement. This episode is a spiritual successor to our first episode with Derek (all the way back in Episode 6!), which focused on the rhetoric of 20th-century urban renewal policies in Pittsburgh, and African American citizens' resistance to those policies and practices that threatened their homes and businesses.Derek has now expanded his analysis of urban renewal rhetorics - and the modes of citizenship and resistance practiced by African American community members in response to them. His new book, Struggle for the City, focuses on urban renewal policy struggles that played out across three Northern cities in the 1950s and ‘60s: St. Paul Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In each of these case studies, Derek deftly traces the rhetorical contours of the master narrative (such as the use of the “blight” metaphor) that shaped how urban renewal policies, including highway and infrastructure development, ultimately uprooted and destabilized African American communities. In turn, his case studies center on the voices of these communities, showing how they responded using a framework he calls “Black Rhetorical Citizenship.” The rhetorical practices inherent within this mode of citizenship - which include deliberation and community decision-making, the circulation of multi-modal counterstories, and a forward-looking focus on public memory - are not only essential touchstones in the less-publicized history of Civil Rights struggles in Northern cities during the 20th century; they also provide an important scaffold for current rhetorical strategies in ongoing Black freedom and justice struggles in the US writ large.In this conversation, Derek also shares some details of his ongoing public scholarship project (co-directed with UW-M Geography Professor Dr. Anne Bonds) Mapping Racism and Resistance in Milwaukee County, which seeks to document restrictive and racist housing covenants in the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and its surrounding suburbs, as well as community resistance to these and related practices. Derek's book, Struggle for the City: Rhetorics of Citizenship and Resistance in the Black Freedom Movement, is available via Penn State University Press on September 24, 2024More information on the Mapping Racism and Resistance in Milwaukee County project can be found hereWorks and Concepts Referenced in this EpisodeHandley, D.

It's time for us to attempt to find the worst album ever made once again, that's correct, it's Trve. Crvp. Pop! On this episode we go back to the year 2001 and look at Urban Renewal, a tribute album to the work of Phil Collins, featuring a cast of R&B and hip-hop stars of the era... we aren't making this up by the way... it's really Ol' Dirty Bastard, Pharell Williams, Kelis, Brandy, Montell Jordan and... Dane Bowers... ? Honestly, we're not making this up. In the late 90's no one could have been less cool than Phil Collins, and so, obviously, this got a kicking. But is it really that bad? The third worst album ever bad? Korn's Daddy played on a piano bad? Not on your nelly!

“When [social security] was first established, you had 40 workers for every retiree. Today, we have three workers for every retiree. You also have people living longer, and you have all people forced into this system that they don't own … and they can't transfer it to their heirs,” says Star Parker. She is the founder and president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE) and editor of the book “The State of Black Progress.”America's social security system is broken, Parker says. And it's not just social security. She argues that America's welfare and safety net programs are all built on a one-size-fits-all model that fails to actually help the poor. Instead, they entrench generational poverty in certain communities, she argues.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

The State of Black America Star Parker I grew up in tumultuous times of the late 1960's and early 1970's. I remember the riots in Detroit and other cities. I remember the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Our entire school system, where I grew about 60 miles north of Detroit, had 3… that's it… 3 black students – in the entire school system.So watching these events on TV, as a young, impressionable teenager, taught me some things that were flat out wrong…racism, discrimination, etc.It was not until I went in the Army in the mid-70's that I discovered how wrong my upbringing was. Not only did I realize I was wrong on my perceptions – but some of my co-workers and fellow soldiers and who became my best friends, who were black, discovered they were wrong about ME in their perceptions, too.Why am I leading off with this? Because perceptions – I should say “misperceptions” – can lead to disastrous policies, disastrous incidents and out of these things – nothing good can ever come. Amen!Our guest today grew up in that same time frame that I did… but from looking at things, let's just say, from the other side of the tracks.Star Parker, grew up as a military brat…my kids can relate to that… but after moving to St. Lous in 1969, right after the MLK assassination, she found herself swept up in the racial tensions that was sweeping the nation. This led her down a path that took her years to recognize was - the wrong path.With several abortions, living on Food Stamps and Welfare and seeking work that paid, “under the table” (so she could continue on Government subsistence), she found herself pregnant, but wanting to keep this baby.That one decision led her to make another – where she accepted Jesus as her Lord and that led to another decision… to change her life for the better.Today, Star Parker is a nationally syndicated columnist and hosts a weekly television news show, CURE America with Star Parker, which is broadcast on the National Religious Broadcasters Network, the TCT Network and others as well as on the streaming services. She has served on the Executive Board of the National Religious Broadcaster Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors at the Leadership Institute.

Star, it is a blessing for you to come on the program and join us today.The first question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Star Parker?”Just to lay the groundwork for the discussion of your book, share with us, from your perception, what life was like for you, your family and friends, back in the late 1960's and early 1970's with all of the racial tensions that were going on?Tell us about the advertising agency that would not hire you because you were not a Christian?

Welcome to CURE America with Star Parker! This week, we're addressing how Democrats have systematically attacked Byron Donalds using a selectively edited video clip. We're here to set the record straight by presenting the entire footage for you to judge and form your own opinion.   Joining us in this discussion are Richard Manning, President of Americans for Limited Government; Marty Dannenfelser VP for Government Relations at the Center for Urban Renewal and Education CURE; and Jonathan Alexandre, Senior Counsel at Liberty Counsel Action. Together, we'll dissect these systematic attacks on Donalds and their broader implications for the political landscape.   In addition, we'll examine the recent escalation of violent pro-Hamas protests against cultural institutions especially in NYC.    Later in the show, we'll have an insightful interview with John Sweppie from the American Principles Project, where we'll explore some critical perspectives that affect the future of our nation.   Our conversation with our panel dives into the upcoming elections, highlighting key states and the strategic maneuvers shaping the political landscape. Furthermore, we'll analyze the profound impact of left-wing policies on poverty and their role in fostering anti-Israel sentiments.   Stay tuned for these critical insights and more, only on CURE America with Star Parker!

Full Hour | Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by broadcasting live from the Jersey Shore, telling that he's broadcasting from the studio of his friend Harry Hurley, host on the shore station WPG Talk Radio 95.5FM. Then, Dom welcomes in said friend Hurley, who spent time working alongside President Trump, to take us inside the mind of the future President as he gears up for the 2024 election. Also, Harry tells us about a great charity golf tournament he's organized that's raised over a million dollars. Then, Dom continues the Dom Show by playing back clips from President Trump's visit to Detroit, where he again floated an idea in which tips for service employees should no longer be taxed. Then, Dom welcomes in Star Parker, President of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE), which she founded in 1995, back onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss a new book that she provided the introduction for titled The State of Black Progress: Confronting Government and Judicial Obstacles, which examines developments in the black community and a trend toward conservativism. Parker explains the reasons behind the shift, noting that many are waking up to the realization of the damage that's been done by progressive policies on the black community, with tons looking at what they face in a Biden economy and recognizing how much better things were under the Trump administration. Then, Giordano delves into the issue of school choice, a topic that would benefit the black community deeply, noting that rappers Jay-Z and Meek Mill have now thrown their support behind the issue, with Parker explaining why the theory makes sense.

The Democrats are in a full-blown "freakout" over President Biden's constantly dismal polls. Even with President Trump stuck in a courthouse for weeks on end, President Biden still trails in all of the swing states.But the left has much more to fear than just low poll numbers. As Trump's rally in the Bronx proved last week, Americans of all races and ethnicities are disgusted with the Biden record. Even though many of them never voted for Trump before, they are now. Democrats are terrified and they should be.Today, Sara welcomes Star Parker, a syndicated columnist and the founder of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE) to discuss what is changing in the minds of many minority voters, the campaign messaging that will work with them, and the rhetoric that could still drive them away from the Republicans.Many years ago, Parker believed all the lies about the left about feminism, sexual liberation, abortion, welfare and so much more. But after her powerful conversion to Christianity, she saw those lies for what they were and she has committed every day since then to warning others about the destruction peddled by the Democrats and championing the freedom, dignity, and success that traditional conservative values promote.Parker also shares some simple wisdom on what Republicans should and should not say to sway minority voters. She says pointing out their embrace of the failed policies of Democrats for many years is an especially bad idea. What will work? Finding out the one issue they each care about most and offering solid solutions from the border to the economy to education to crime or whatever that issue might be.It's a powerful, high-energy conversation about Americans busting out of their political stereotypes, rejecting the failed leadership of Joe Biden, and embracing ideas and candidates that understand them better than the Democrats.Please visit our great sponsors:Goldcohttp://saralikesgold.comGet your free gold kit today and learn how to get $10,000 in bonus silver. My Pillowhttps://mypillow.comUse code CARTER for $25 prices and free shipping on orders over $75.Time Stamps:00:00  Democrats have alienated Americans10:09 Star Parker joins the Sara Carter Show11:59 We are far from our founding vision14:43 Trump Rally in the Bronx20:29 Democrats love dead black babies22:45 School Choice Programs are winning25:55 Trump is telling the truth32:06 What Trump must do34:08 Mother's story 37:48 What is Democracy?39:58 What we can do
