  • Crossing the Line

    Thank you for your interview with Sarah Towle. When it comes to immigration, the discourse we usually get is too limited to be of use to anyone. Sarah gave us language and perspective that we all sorely need. Love the podcast!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Progressive Content Creator and Human Rights Advocate, Qasim Rashid
Q: What lesson stands out from your experience in politics and content creation that you'd want new creators to know?
Authenticity and a steadfast focus on justice matter more than chasing popularity; if an issue is just and necessary, he believes it should be spoken about even if it attracts hostility or backlash, and that long-term impact comes from consistent, values-based engagement.

Q: What has your Sirius show meant for your advocacy work and platform?

Progressive Content Creator and Human Rights Advocate, Qasim Rashid
Q: What is JustWin and how does it operate with content creators and candidates?
JustWin is a values-aligned organization that partners with content creators who support candidates aligned with core principles like universal health care, voting rights, and anti-corruption efforts. The model emphasizes authenticity and a refusal to compromise on values, with creators producing content for candidates who share those beliefs rather than simply following a paid brief.
Progressive Content Creator and Human Rights Advocate, Qasim Rashid
Q: What drove you to leave Capital One and pursue full-time human rights work?
He explains that while banking paid well, his passion lay in human rights, leading him to take a job with a women's rights law firm and eventually to build his advocacy platform and JustWin to support marginalized communities and democratic reform.
Progressive Content Creator and Human Rights Advocate, Qasim Rashid
Q: Would you mind introducing yourself and giving me a quick biography?
