Dialogue LabEP015: Sameena Mustafa Helped Build the Blue Wave-- DIALOGUE LAB PODCAST EPISODE 015 - Sameena Mustafa Helped Build the Blue Wave I talked to Sameena Mustafa -- former candidate for Congress -- a few weeks before the midterm elections. Sameena is a progressive who aimed to unseat centrist Democrat Mike Quigley in the Democratic primary back in March 2018. Her bid was impressive, if ultimately unsuccessful, and shone a light on how out of step Quigley’s voting record has been with his very progressive district. And in the context of the “Blue Wave” of Democratic victories coming to light since last Tuesday, the big me...

And as it turns out, that is often felt most keenly from the perspective of people who are not allowed to vote. That what motivates Esther de Rothschild & Aicha Cherif in their work running the Love Vote, an organization that amplifies the voices of people who can’t vote -- either because of youth, citizenship, or disenfranchisement. And they are doing it to move people who can vote, to vote. Esther -- the Love Vote’s founder -- is a high school teacher and filmmaker. Aicha is the Love Vote’s outreach direct...

Like the fact that in 34 states, eligible voters are being turned away from polling stations because they don’t have a state-issued ID. So Kat founded Spread the Vote, which is working to get people their IDs, so they can vote. As well as find jobs, apply for housing -- all sorts of essential things. I...

I have spent 2 decades working in the nonprofit and social impact sectors, and I’m in love with these people. You work hard, you are smart, dedicated, and incredibly resourceful. And it drives me up the wall that the people in this sector are so often underpaid, and instead of being treated like the resourceful humans they are, they often are treated like machines who are expected to churn out social impact no...

And honestly, this ended up being one of the most valuable conversations to me personally, that I’d had in a while. We talked about what it means to advocate for change, w/o being trapped inside the very system you are trying to change. We talked about the harm we...

Dialogue LabEP009: Sarai Johnson is Creating Belonging instead of Burnout in NonprofitsThis week, I speak with Sarai Johnson, a speaker, coach, author and founder of Lean Nonprofit. When I first encountered Sarai, it was through a blog post she’d written about how nonprofits and foundations often unwittingly use management and funding practices that perpetuate the very culture of poverty and oppression they are fighting against. Sounds like serious stuff, but what I so appreciate about Sarai is her ability to tell it like it is with humor and empathy. Empathy that comes from the fact that she’s been there too. We talked a lot abou...
