    Reflecting on Elections & the Future of Organizing

    It’s been one week since the 2024 U.S. election and many are still processing, while others are acting and building (I’m moving through both). I want to speak to you no matter where you find yourself. I had planned a different podcast about celebrating volunteers. Not many listeners are in a celebratory mood, so I want to talk about organizing and moving forward in this moment. In my first solo pod, I reflect on: Some of my experiences in the Southwest that signaled the resultsHow grassroots organizing worked when superficial branding didn’tHow the roots of change agency is moving forward in this momentFinally, I share interviews with volunteers in Reno, NV & Modesto, CA Organizing on both the macro and most personal levels of our lives is more important than ever. I hope you’ll join me in continuing to learn, grow, and organize for true liberatory & sustainable change. Upgrade to Support My WorkAs we move into this new period of movement work, I plan to be a key resource for anyone who is working to shift our world towards a more compassionate and sustainable society. But I can only do that if I am sustainable and able to also support myself. If you’ve considered upgrading in the past, I’m asking you to please upgrade today. Your contribution will go directly back into the community in terms of resources. https://bit.ly/SeedlingPlan Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Elevating Real People in Down Ballot Elections

    I’ve been on the road in Southwest swing states for almost a month! I’ve been lucky enough to meet some amazing local and state candidates who are just real people who are working hard and caring for their communities. It has been refreshing to find when the pundits want us to believe they’re all crooked! I was lucky enough to have a casual sit-down conversation with Dallas Harris, Nevada State Senator, at her office at the Nevada Nevada Legislature building. You can find our awesome tees on YouTube if you want to watch the interview. In our 20-minute chat, we covered: What Dallas Harris has already done for Nevadans and what she hopes to do in her next termHow she’s dealt with GOP government inaction firsthand to support her communityWhy down-ballot races are so crucial for our daily livesThe case for Millennials and Gen Z to go vote!Addressing the economic angst in the country and the Democrat’s closing economic messageThe amazing organizations and support networks for women, people of color, and queer folks running for office About Dallas HarrisVisit the Dallas Harris websiteDonate to Dallas Harris About The Roots of Change AgencySubscribe to the roots of change newsletterUpgrade for members-only podcasts and resourcesWe are 100% reader supported, consider donating to support our work.Explore the roots of change agency Hosted on Acast.

    Combatting Big Tech’s AI OverHype: The Social Impacts of AI

    Hi Y’all! 👋🏽 I am so excited to host my friend and AI expert, Dr Linda Berberich, on the podcast this month! We dove into the intersectionality of AI and its impacts on society, especially marginalized communities. We spoke of the real harms that AI poses to society, but also how technology can be used to augment human behavior and learning. Our discussion delved into: What is AI behind the hype and media's misconceptions The challenges of consent and regulation in the digital spaceThe repercussions of AI on creativity and authenticity in societyEthical implications of technology – facial recognition technology and data privacy I especially loved hearing about Linda's experiences in Big Tech and how her own experiences of misogyny reflect the broader historical context of misogyny and white supremacy in the development of AI. We end our conversation on a hopeful note, discussing the launch of ChatBlack GPT last month. I hope you enjoy the conversation! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
