Organizing 2010: Turnout, Demographics, Message
November 5, 2010Elections come down to Get Out The Vote efforts--everyone knows that, right? Election 2010 was more a referendum on whose base was more energized than a massive shift in ideology. Registering, mobilizing, and educating voters are vital parts of the effort, just as much as television advertising--and those efforts need to keep up even when there isn't an election looming.Jeff Sharlet, Organizing 2010, and Nancy Goldstein
November 4, 2010In the wake of the Republican election victories Tuesday night, Christian conservatives like Ralph Reed have been quick to declare victory for the "Teavangelicals," evangelical Christian politicians who embraced the Tea Party movement and claim to speak for it. Jeff Sharlet, author of C Street, notes that Jim DeMint and others are actually Washington insiders, not representatives of an insurgent new movement.Whose American Dream, Anyway?
October 29, 2009Is the American Dream something for rich bankers to achieve by taking taxpayer dollars to give themselves ever-larger bonuses, or does that money belong to all of us? And is protesting in the streets and at the bankers' meetings the best way to push for more equitable policies and stronger regulation of the financial industry?Whose American Dream, Bush-Era Propaganda and Kyria Abrahams
October 28, 2009Joining us to discuss whether the American Dream should apply just to rich bankers or to the rest of us are Matt Taibbi, journalist with Rolling Stone and author of The Great Derangement: A Terrifying True Story of War, Politics, and Religion, George Goehl, executive director of National People's Action, Christina Clausen, International Representative, United Food & Commercial Workers Union and Change to Win, and Rob Robertson of the Right To The City Alliance and Picture the Homeless.
