          25:37 Poverty is a lot of little problems

          26:00 Interlude

          27:17 Charles asks how to figure out ways for servers and solvers to take their moments to lament then come together to serve the whole person

          28:51 We not have have to be right, we are committed to solving the problem

          30:26 We all have different hypotheses and care about the problem, it’s ok if we have different solutions as long as we agree with common humanity

          31:44 Rob talks about the important crossover of businesses, nonprofits, and faith communities

          32:17 Rob asks about the day in the life of Builders and Backers, and living out these value systems in the communities they come alongside of

            4:06 Rob talks about caring a new lens into this voting season

            6:10 Rob mentions ReCity gearing up for the end of the season and holding stories which makes it hard to separate personal from everything else

            7:43 Daryl Atkinson joins the conversation

            8:31 Rob reads Daryl’s bio

            9:57 Rob asks Daryl about his story and how he got to be doing this work

            10:27 Daryl mentions being arrested in 1996 and serving 40 months of 10 year sentence

            11:04 Daryl went back to school after getting out of prison to practice law in Minnesota and North Carolina

            11:52 Daryl shares that he is impacted by this problem on a personal level which is why he does and this work and how he got to where he is

            14:00 Jes asks Daryl to unpack voter suppression - what it means, how it shows up, and why it is important

            14:14 Daryl states that voter suppression isn’t new

            15:32 Southern disenfranchisement did not exist in North Carolina State Constitution until 1877, on the heels of radical reconstruction

            17:35 “In 2013, the NC legislature passed HB 589, also known as the “Monster” voter suppression law. HB 589 required voter identification but did not allow the forms of identification most frequently held by people of color… The “Monster” law also shortened the early voting period and eliminated same-day voter registration and youth pre-registration. … Also passed SB 325, a bill that would eliminate the most popular day for early voting: the final Saturday before the election… In 2016, 200,000 people voted on the final Saturday, a day used disproportionately by African-Americans.”

            19:51 Daryl shares about the hypocrisy of our country to make it so hard to vote for people 

            20:41 Call 1-866-OURVOTE to report voting problems

            21:26 Rob asks about the story of Forward Justice - how it came to be, the problems they are working to solve, and the name

            21:53 Forward Justice is a law policy and strategy center, operating on three areas of change: social movements create change, some of our most potent social movements are rooted in the South, and these social movements need to be led by people most impacted

            22:41 1/3 of electoral votes are in the South

            25:25 How Forward Justice does their work: change law policy and practice, shift culture, narrative, and values to and how you communicate, and building people up

            27:41 Jes asks Daryl about the biggest obstacle to justice in this issue

            28: Daryl pushes back by stating that there is no one thing we can do to bring our country into equity because we are layered with white supremacy and voter suppression and racism

            28:58 Voting is a right, not a privilege

            30:40 Rob brings up the 400-year-old tree and the problem that comes with uprooting

            31:55 Rob asks Daryl about his fuel and his why

            32:05 Daryl talks about his faith, that he was prepared for such a time as this  to fight to get into the room

            32:55 Daryl admits being built in a way that he wakes up, ready for a fight

            33:32 Daryl shares about unnecessary incarceration happened to him so that is why he goes hard, mentioning that the importance of having affected people at the center

            35:14 www.forwardjustice.org for volunteer opportunities and their newsletter

            35:27 northcarolinasecondchance.org to be involved with these issues in the Triangle

            37:47 Daryl signs off

            38:38 Rob shares his takeaways that until we admit that things are broken, we can’f fix them and that movements create change

            39:53 “[The right to vote for someone who has been previously incarcerated] means everything: that I’m a citizen, that I am a part of the fabric of this country, and it means I get to participate.”

            41:19 Jes shares her anger around the power of the South and the importance of talking about this issue, as opposed to passivity that is really easy to take

            43:11 Jes’ show-up moment is hope that listeners will be angry that something isn’t right, but is encouraged by Daryl’s certainty

            44:16 If you aren’t angry that something is so wrong, you need to channel it productively for change

            46:39 What drives the you vote?

            47:48 Although the roots run deep, there is also low-hanging fruit

            13:48 Brittany mentions from very early on learning about the brokenness of the system, recognizing that her mom needed treatment, not prison

            16:05 Brittany shares that she always wanted to be a lawyer, but as she grew older, it felt more out of her reach

            17:04 Brittany started school for accounting

            26:27 Brittany shares how Sharonda was released from prison by President Barack Obama after 16 years and 9 months

            28:31 Jes asks Brittany what she could fix with a magic wand to be able to change

            28:52 Brittany answers that she would change the retro-activity in the laws that are changing

            29:40 Do we want a justice system? Do we want to pay to incarcerate people, like Sharonda Jones, for lifelong sentences?

            29:52 The country spends over 80 billion dollars a year on incarceration, so we need transformation, not reformation

            4:33 Jes introduces Kezie “Kate” Goodwin, Owner and Founder of Kate’s Korner

            6:20 Jes asks Kate about her story and how she got to the point of prioritizing education and equity

            7:03 Kate says that her love of children started as the youngest of nine

            8:43 Kate mentions the importance of seeing children as their individual selves, and giving them space to love and learn… authentic place for children to land

            9:20 Kate tells a story about her own son Andrew’s need for movement being misidentified as attention issues

            12:29 Rob asks about Kate’s Korner - how it came to be, what they do, and the problem they are working to solve

            13:25 “Kate’s Korner is a manifestation of doing what now I know has to be done in order for me to impact early childhood education”

            14:09 Kate mentions utilizing as a platform to give educators the space to self-evaluate their own implicit bias, they would come to the table and serve any child

            15:10 Kate explains how Kate’s Korner is drop-in and pay as you go and the need for that service

            15:24 Kate explains how Kate’s Korner gives essential workers a place to bring their kids and teaching happens through project-based learning

            17:02 Jes asks Kate about the one thing she wishes people would understand her work and the problem she is working to address

            17:17 Kate shares a statistic that 50,000 children in the United States are expelled from preschool a year, and those are only for places that have to report (those dependent on government money)

            18:20 Kate states the problem with expulsions existing because of implicit bias

            21:09 Kate introduces explicit bias manifesting in chastising students and how that shapes during their early childhood experiences

            23:29 Rob encourages white listeners to try to imagine stepping into a space where their child is being misinterpreted, but ratcheted up by a thousand

            24:24 Jes asks Kate if she had a magic wand where childcare and education are exactly the way she wants, what it looks like and what is holding us back from being there

            25:03 Kate dreams of a center with a community garden and kitchen

            26:20 Kate dreams of a kindergarten-based curriculum with cultural competence of recognizing and celebrating difference

            26:49 Kate dreams of seeing more black males in a space to be able to address that deficit 

            27:44 Kate mentions that the biggest barrier is choice

            29:44 Rob asks Kate about her why and what gives her hope

            29:52 Kate answers simply that what gives her hope is children and the need they have

            31:02 Kate answers that the second thing that gives her hope is the parents and being able to speak into them 

            32:54 Kate talks about the last thing that gives her hope is the unequal opportunity for those who were not exposed to early education

            34:27 Jes asks Kate for a takeaway for listeners

            34:50 Kate answers by saying that the biggest help is to call and offer help

            35:51 Kate talks about the importance of serving the whole child - providing physical space for learning and technology for remote learning, but also loving them where they are at

            36:37 Kate encourages long term for people to get involved

            2:59 Rob talks about change being the most productive right now

            3:38 Rob addresses how important it is to acknowledge how we can only take on the weight of so many people’s stories

            5:02 Introduces the topic of discussion, race and the leadership gap

            5:50 Rob introduces Dr. Harvey Hinton III of CAARE

            6:34 Rob introduces Dr. Hinton’s bio for background

            7:38 Rob asks about Harvey’s story and what led him to serve in his current role at CAARE

            7:58 Harvey talks about growing up in Durham and being taught by people from NCCU

            8:11 Harvey brings up the theme of community being foundational

            8:41 CAARE started by women who had hearts that wanted to make sure black people had access to healthcare

            9:51 Harvey credits CAARE’s success in using its location in Downtown Durham strategically as a sunshine ray of hope

            11:01 CAARE showed people how to maneuver in the nonprofit space to find opportunities to support yourself

            12:12 Racism is a public health issue

            12:31 CAARE stands for community action, advocacy, restoration, and empowerment

            12:54 The goal was not to discuss racism, the goal was being there as a black person to figure out how to make improvements

            13:27 Jes mentions the Doc Rivers quote about desiring to just be a basketball coach

            14:39 Jes brings up the article How White People Conquered the Nonprofit Industry

            16:38 Jes asks Harvey about this white-dominated nonprofit industry and how he has encountered it

            17:18 It’s not based on meritocracy

            18:12 If a white person would take true action, it would take career suicide

            19:58 Rob brings up the importance of digging up the root causes

            20:50 Are we going to prioritize true impact or are we going to prioritize self-preservation? What do we do when those two things do not go hand in hand?

            22:04 In the context of philanthropy, we need to stop trusting white people to solve black people’s problems

            25:11 What does it mean historically for white men to want to preserve their own places

            25:21 Have we learned to love our spaces in our boxes so much that we aren’t willing to live uncomfortably?

            26:01 America is denying its own reality of racism

            27:41 Jes asks about what advice would you give somebody to someone who wants to get involved in the white-dominated nonprofit sector?

            29:06 Link up with already existing organizations, don’t try to start from scratch

            30:07 We have to understand if we have a mission we believe in, we have to figure out how to capitalize on that

            30:49 Rob asks Harvey about where is hope come froms

            31:28 Harvey says that his hope comes from his two daughters and the idea that right now they don’t have opportunities

            34:17 Harvey recognizes that he isn’t someone who is able to sit on the sideline because he wants to be fighting

            35:43 What is the point of all of the effort

            36:39 Jes asks about what listeners can take away and what they can do as a next step

            46:51 Harvey encourages people to work where they are, starting with deep reflecting

            37:07 “I can’t wait to see white people work in white spaces”
