On this bonus episode, we hear a conversation recorded live at the Chicago Transformation Collab on June 26th, 2022. The Collab brought together a select community of leaders to get aligned in the current moment, have transformative conversations, and build stronger collaborative visions in the fight against fearmongering, carceral policies, and attempts to rollback modest reforms. This conversation, entitled "What We're Up Against," discusses the tension between the messages we want to share, and the messages people are ready to hear. In a conversation that centers the importance of this moment for narrative alignment in Chicago, panelists will discuss tactics that have succeeded or faltered in the past and what lessons we can glean from such outcomes.

Episode 18: Sam Sinyangwe and We the Protestors

Rick Wilson

First, [4:10] Sam Sinyangwe (@samswey) joins us to talk about how media coverage of the Las Vegas massacre largely ignored America’s long history of mass shootings, including the deadliest mass shooting ever, perpetrated by white supremacists. You can read Sam’s tweets about the topic here: https://twitter.com/samswey/status/914963280501858304. We also discuss why gun control policies need to be conscious of race and racism, and why mixing sports and politics continues to be a good thing.Next, [40:16] regular friend and ally of the pod Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) is back to point out the irony in the Right not being more alarmed by Trump’s expansion of federal power — in particular ICE and Homeland Security. We also discuss voting rights and Rick responds to a listener seeking advice on how to have productive conversations with conservatives about gun control in the wake of Vegas. Rick and Ana try and don't entirely fail in modeling that conversation.
