    Sarah Kendzior: That Jared and Ivanka's Activity in Office

    Gaslit Nation Transcript 22 April 2020 “Blood Money Brigade” Sarah Kendzior: That Jared and Ivanka's activity in office has abated enemies of America, like Russia, or states rife with human rights violations, like Saudi Arabia, has proven irrelevant to media personalities seeking to normalize them. After all, many of these media personalities are themselves the sons and daughters of the rich and powerful. The new American economy runs on purchased merit, and now we bear the consequences on a national security level. Adult children of authoritarian leaders are useful in multiple ways. First, they tend to be trustworthy confidantes in regimes rife with paranoia, as corrupt authoritarian states are. Sarah Kendzior: Second, they're excellent vessels for laundering money. Creating enough distance, the assets stolen from the state are harder to track. Third, they tend to have a warmer public profile which offsets the brutality of the dictator by distracting the population with pictures of their happy families or glamorous lifestyle. Fourth, a dynastic kleptocracy is the most reliable way to keep assets stolen from the state in the family. It therefore falls upon the authoritarian ruler to legitimize his offspring as successors should he be forced to leave office. Sarah Kendzior: For 40 years, Trump hobnobbed with elites from media, business, politics, and entertainment, and then with their offspring, as those professions became dominated by nepotism. In 2016, when Trump's "grab them by the pussy" Access Hollywood outtakes were released, America was introduced to what I have called the Billy Bush Principle: For every asshole, there is an equal and opposite asshole.

    K. Jean-Pierre: Hello everybody. My name is Karine Jean-Pierre. I am the senior strategist and national spokesperson for MoveOn.Org. I'll be your host this evening as we catch up on the past few tumultuous weeks. You'll hear from our amazing lineup of speakers and commit to take action together. I wanna thank the amazing partners [00:00:30] who have joined MoveOn for this call, and there are many. Equal Justice Society, March for Truth, Center for Popular Democracy, People's Action, Daily Codes, Public Citizen, Common Sense, Need to Impeach, People for the American Way, and the organizations presented with speakers on the call. This call was inspired by the Ready to Resist call series, which many of you participated in over the last year and a half or so. The day after the largest protest [00:01:00] in American history, the 2017 Women's March, we broke the Guinness World Record for the largest conference call when 60,000 people convened to discuss how to take action together. And we continued for more than a dozen subsequent calls. Great to have everyone back on who has been on these calls before. And a huge welcome to everyone joining this call for the very first time. You can text [00:01:30] RESIST to 668366 to sign up for future calls just like this one. Tonight's call will focus on the core issue: the crisis we're facing with a power- abusing White House that thinks it is above the law. And we'll identify three core actions everyone can take immediately to contribute to that issue: sharing the Rapid Response Plan; calling on Congress; and attending an in-person community meeting next weekend.
  • Incorporating Social Activism

    Incorporating Social Activism

    INCORPORATING SOCIAL ACTIVISM TOM C.W. LIN ABSTRACT Corporations and their executives are at the forefront of some of the most contentious and important social issues of our time. Through pronouncements, policies, boycotts, sponsorships, lobbying, and fundraising, corporations are actively engaged in issues like immigration reform, gun regulation, racial justice, gender equality, and religious freedom. This is the new reality of business and social activism in America. This Article offers the first comprehensive legal examination of this new corporate social activism and its wide-ranging effects on law, business, and society. It begins by providing a brief history of corporations and social activism. Next, it establishes the legal and political foundations of contemporary corporate social activism. It investigates how the convergence of government and private enterprise, the rise of corporate social responsibility, and the expansion of corporate political rights have all fostered contemporary corporate social activism. Moving from origins to effects, it then examines the potential costs and benefits associated with this new dynamic. Finally, this Article offers pragmatic proposals for addressing the broader implications of contemporary corporate social activism on law, business, and society. Specifically, it discusses how such activism can impact corporate purpose, corporate governance, and public interest lawyering. Ultimately, this Article aspires to provide an original legal framework for thinking, speaking, and acting anew about corporate

  • Chants of the Resistance: Flow, Memory, and Inclusivity

    Chants of the Resistance: Flow, Memory, and Inclusivity

    Chants of the Resistance: Flow, Memory, and Inclusivity NORIKO MANABE Abstract Participating in the Women’s March in New York in 2017, this author was struck by how quiet the march seemed, relative to Japanese protests. This essay considers the ways in which policing shapes the sound of protests. In Japan, heavy policing renders protests less visible, compelling Japanese protesters to use sound to make their claims known; chanting, recognized as important in building solidarity, is often led and planned. The Women’s March in New York was privileged by light policing; it didn’t need sound to be seen. The leaderless atmosphere of the Women’s Marches led to a high rate of innovation in chanting. Drawing from ethnography and videos of thirty protests, the essay analyzes the chants of the first six months of the Resistance. Using a combination of humor, references to recent events, interaction with popular music, and intertextuality with historical protest culture, these chants and songs engage protesters and issues in memorable fashion. Aiding the construction of these new chants is their tendency to follow the familiar musical forms of sentences or periods, and their frequent use of pre- existing text patterns. The essay ends with a critique of the decline in intersectionality seen in the 2018 Women’s March in New York and a call for agonistic democracy. My experience in the Women’s March differs from my colleagues in this forum: I participated in the Women’s March in New York, rather than in Washington, DC. My decision was partly pragmatic: for the past several years, I have been conducting ethnography on sound in Japanese social movements, centering on Tokyo, where the densely packed, tall glass buildings in Shibuya, a neighborhood favored by protesters, resembles the urban landscape of Fifth Avenue; on the other hand, Washington’s urban layout, with its monumental scale and lower density, has little in common with Tokyo.

Thomas J. Pritzker was named chairman of the CSIS Board of Trustees in 2015, succeeding former U.S. Senator Sam Nunn (D-GA). Founded in 1962, CSIS is led by John J. Hamre, who has served as president and chief executive officer since 2000. CSIS’s purpose is to define the future of national security. We are guided by a distinct set of values—non-partisanship, independent thought, innovative thinking, cross-disciplinary scholarship, integrity and professionalism, and talent development. CSIS’s values work in concert toward the goal of making real-world impact. CSIS scholars bring their policy expertise, judgment, and robust networks to their research, analysis, and recommendations. We organize conferences, publish, lecture, and make media appearances that aim to increase the knowledge, awareness, and salience of policy issues with relevant stakeholders and the interested public. CSIS has impact when our research helps to inform the decisionmaking of key policymakers and the thinking of key influencers. We work toward a vision of a safer and more prosperous world.
