    Truly one of the most underrated Podcasts in the country. As someone who is intellectually curious, I always come away informed and feel compelled to do more to make an positive impact in my personal and professional life. The podcasts can be seen as "calls to action" and repeatedly give local, regional and national nonprofit leaders a voice. Cannot understand why the podcasts does not have a major sponsor. It truly deserves one. A must subscribe.

  • Informative and relevant!

    Such a well-rounded, informative, and well-presented podcast! I have learned so much about current events and what our non-profit leaders are doing to create change. My favorite episode is hands down the interview with Lizette Escobedo, where she talks about the 2020 Census in times of a global pandemic.

  • Isabel Rubio

    Anne Pasmanick does an excellent job of pulling out every aspect of HICA under Isabel’s leadership. They obviously share (and share with us) a great knowledge of what is happening in Alabama’s Latino community. I learned so much about what can and has been done in a place I knew little about. Excellent!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The reality is that 40% of our homeless youth here in DC identify as members of our queer and trans family
Q: What is the Chosen Family Support Model and why is it important?
It breaks the four walls of traditional case management by meeting youth where they are, prioritizing youth-led programming, and incorporating therapy and practical supports to build independence.
The reality is that 40% of our homeless youth here in DC identify as members of our queer and trans family
Q: How do policy changes and federal requirements affect your work with housing benefits like SNAP?
Tighter federal rules and work requirements threaten access to SNAP for youth not meeting education or employment criteria, necessitating ongoing advocacy and adaptable program design.
The reality is that 40% of our homeless youth here in DC identify as members of our queer and trans family
Q: What is the age range of most of the young people you serve?
Most are between 18 to 24 years old, facing multiple layers of challenge and requiring comprehensive, youth-centered supports.
They are chasing the tail of the dragon to make it harder to vote
Q: What is the Lawyers Committee's broader strategy to counter these efforts beyond litigating the issues in court?
We rely on a three-pronged approach: litigation, advocacy in Congress to restore protections like the Voting Rights Act, and ground-level community mobilization through hotlines and coalitions to document and respond to voting problems.
They are chasing the tail of the dragon to make it harder to vote
Q: Can you lay out for listeners how the SAVE Act and its variants evolved over time and why they keep reappearing in different forms?
They're a recurring gambit: proponents frame them as election security or integrity, but the core effect is to impose documentation and ID requirements that are often unworkable and disproportionately burdensome for marginalized communities; each new version repackages the same underlying idea to gain political traction.
