Description

In 2015, Julian Walker set out to fix the low turnout rates of Black voters. By listening to the community, he learned that people were lacking stories of Black liberation. If people better understood their past, perhaps they would feel more inspired to vote for their future. Today, PushBlack is the nation’s biggest nonprofit media organization for Black Americans, reaching over 9 million people. For the past three election cycles, they have run the largest voter turnout programs in the digital space.In today's episode we’ll learn from PushBlack’s strategy: to listen, evaluate, and come up with community-based solutions. Featuring Julian Walker, CEO, PushBlack and Yordanos Eyoel, Founder and CEO of Keseb & Board Chair, PushBlack. If you want to learn more about Push Black visit pushblack.org.Resources mentioned in this episode:Book: The Miseducation of the Negro by Carter G.

There is a new, catalytic approach to solving the world’s toughest problems — one that is grittier, more collaborative and less reliant on a single charismatic leader or silver bullet solution.On System Catalysts, you will hear and learn from activists, philanthropists, and change makers who are bringing more inclusive, connective, system level solutions to our most persistent challenges. Each week, hosts Tulaine Montgomery, Jeff Walker and English Sall will share personal stories of catalysts and how they collaborated with others to successfully tackle issues from access to food and health services, racial injustice, mental health and much more.  Each episode will guide and inspire you to use a catalytic approach to addressing tough problems.System Catalysts is produced by Hueman Group Media.
