I was so happy to have my friend and voter outreach extraordinaire, Elizabeth Chur, on the podcast to talk about her latest book just in time for the election. 'The Joy of Talking Politics with Strangers: How to Save Democracy, One Conversation at a Time' is a practical and beautifully written book to help folks use the power of conversation to create lasting change.'

Speaking up on Big Tech dominated channels
Moving digital activism into the “real world”
Using the grassroots techniques of voter outreach for digital activism
Regulating and validating the feelings come up while posting online
How to be in spaces where people disagree with you

Speak Up Online & Support Your Peace

Season 2 · Episode 6

Monday, April 22, 2024 • Duration 26:47

Hi Y’all! 👋🏽

Last month, I spoke on a LinkedIn Live discussion with Taj Smith and Emily Weltman about digital activism today and what it takes to speak up and protect yourself while doing it. I loved the depth that we all brought to the conversation and thank you to Alyssa and Tristan who pop in for questions.

How did we each get into activism and how has activism shaped our lives
What does leading with purpose mean in a 2024 digital world with fewer guardrails and more exposure?
Why speak up about issues online in the first place?
How can community help build energy for the movement and protection in the digital age?
How do we channel anger and other emotions for our activism in today’s world?

We were so in sync that many times Taj and Em would say exactly what I was thinking. You know you've found good people when you want to keep chatting for 90 minutes, but don't worry! Part 1 is our usual 20-30 minute episode and we'll be back in tw0 weeks for part 2. I hope you enjoy the conversation!

Tuesday, March 19, 2024 • Duration 24:50

Hi Y’all! 👋🏽 I am back to talk with social change communicator, Joe Cardillo (they/them), to talk about navigating social change and communications in our

Joe has an amazing perspective about communications and branding and how we can reshape our world through those mediums. As our tech landscape has incentivized inauthentic behavior, we discussed how organizations and movements can overcome disintermediation, disinformation, and the enshitification of the Internet.

“When we think about communicating organization to audience, we also need to think about it as just being in a relationship. Communication is important in any relationship.” - Sam

We also discussed:

How ‘Discovery’ has been taken over by capitalist, profit-driven thought
Building relationships outside of extractive fundraising
Getting sucked into oversimplication of the Alexa-fying of our movements
Enthusiastic Consent - rethinking relationships with mass communications
The relief of unsubscribing to bad political emails and why I’m still subscribed to AOC and Corrie Bush’s listserv.

I hope you enjoy our conversation!

Monday, February 5, 2024 • Duration 23:26

In our first podcast of 2024, we spoke with Sharon Hurley Hall, Mission Equality founder, about her organization’s mission to build an anti-capitalist approach to organizations. Sharon recounted her journey from freelance writer to anti-racism advocate and co-founder of Mission Equality.

We explored the impact of the 2020 uprisings had on her shift to being more publicly vocal about her experiences of racism. Eventually leading to her collaboration with co-founder Lea Jovy. We explored the differences between equity and equality and what that means in the work of Mission Equality. Mission Equality works with start-ups, non-profits and progressive organisations to create a more sustainable approach to leadership and business. They use progressive education to work at all levels (individual, collective and systemic) to build an alternative to capitalism that we call Equalism.
