  • Faith Talks // Returning Citizens: Loving Those You've Been Trained to Despise

    Faith Talks // Returning Citizens: Loving Those You've Been Trained to Despise
    2024/09/05
    September is Suicide Prevention Month — a time to raise awareness of this urgently important crisis. Suicide impacts persons of all genders, races, ethnicities, religions, and other demographics. This month is an opportunity to shift public perception, spread hope, and share vital information to people affected by suicide. If you are reading this and feeling discouraged, or experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text 988 immediately.

    For this episode of Faith Talks we are sharing a conversation Jennifer Farmer had with Desmond Meade. Meade is a formerly homeless returning citizen who overcame many obstacles to eventually become the President of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition (FRRC), Chair of Floridians for a Fair Democracy, a graduate of Florida International University College of Law, a Ford Global Fellow, and a 2021 MacArthur “Genius” Fellow. Recognized by Time Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World for 2019, Meade presently leads efforts to empower and civically re-engage local communities across the state, and to reshape local, state, and national criminal justice policies.

    As President and Executive Director of the FRRC, Meade led the successful passage of Amendment 4, a grassroots citizen’s initiative which restored voting rights to over 1.4 million Floridians with past felony convictions. Amendment 4 represented the single largest expansion of voting rights in the United States in half a century and brought an end to 150 years of a Jim Crow-era law in Florida.
    But Meade didn’t start out with all these awards. In this video, we talk about his experience considering suicide. In this touching segment, he makes an appeal for all of us to see the humanity in persons who’ve made mistakes, made amends for those mistakes, and are striving to live with peace in dignity.

    Now please settle in and enjoy this conversation.

  • Faith Talks: Election Misinformation Targeting Black Voters

    Faith Talks: Election Misinformation Targeting Black Voters
    2024/08/20
    We are sure you will agree that there are few rights as sacred as the right to vote. Our ancestors struggled to ensure the right to vote for women, people of color, and other marginalized groups. Unfortunately, every election cycle there are nefarious efforts to sway electoral outcomes or influence elections in a way that benefits persons with extreme wealth and power.

    This has always been a concern. However, with the emergence of artificial intelligence and deep fake accounts, we must be savvy, well-informed, and watchful. But how can we flag misinformation when some of the things that appear true may be false? We want to discuss and share resources to help you vet the information you receive. On this episode we will welcome Mike Webb and Danielle Davis as guests on the live recording of the Faith Talks podcast.

    We’ll discuss electoral misinformation that targets marginalized groups and unsuspecting voters. For background, Davis is the director of technology policy at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, and Webb is the senior vice president for communications for the News Literacy Project. You will leave this recording with tools to help you and the people you know discern information and vote with confidence.

    Faith Talks: Strengthening the Disability Rights Movement
    2024/07/30
    Have you ever felt like a problem? Have you ever been treated as if you are a problem? Or have you had the experience of struggling to access resources that others obtain with little effort or worry? Join us on this episode of Faith Talks as we talk with Chioma Oruh, Ph.D. and Dara Baldwin.

    Baldwin is an activist, scholar, and an author with over 20 years of experience in policy and social justice work. We'll discuss Baldwin's book To Be a Problem: Black Women's Survival in the Racist Disability Rights Movement.

    Oruh is a disabilities rights parent-advocate and a co-founder of Mothering Hands, a nonprofit organization working to improve the quality of life, working with government, business, and community partners to provide dynamic and enriching out-of-school opportunities for children and youth with disabilities in the District of Columbia. She has been on the Faith Talks podcast before and we know you'll enjoy listening to her as well as Baldwin.
