About the Presenters… ABOUT THE PRESENTERS…. Center for Community Change The Center for Community Change (CCC) was founded in 1968 to fight poverty by building the capacity of low-income people, especially low-income people of color, to improve their communities and the policies and institutions that affect their lives. Over the decades our efforts have taken many forms, including our ongoing campaign to achieve immigration reform. In 2014, CCC is launching a long-term initiative to confront poverty in America. The work builds on CCC’s strengths: serving as a bridge that connects local grassroots organizing with national policy change; as an organization that can effectively deploy both “inside the Beltway” and outside strategies to achieve change; and as a trusted convener with a long history of building diverse coalitions. Deepak Bhargava has been CCC’s executive director since 2002. Anat Shenker-Osorio Anat Shenker-Osorio applies tools from cognition and linguistics to political discourse, challenging the way dozens of organizations and political figures talk about the most pressing issues of our time. She’s the author of the acclaimed book “Don’t Buy It: The Trouble with Talking Nonsense About the Economy.” As a strategic communications consultant, she has conducted multiple studies on how people reason about clean energy, economic justice, immigrants and women’s rights. Past and present clients that have relied on her research to diagnose what’s not working in their messaging and to provide fresh new language include: the Ford Foundation, America’s Voice, Opportunity Agenda, Ms Foundation, We Belong Together, Congressional Progressive Caucus, Caring Across Generations and Open Society Foundation, to name a few. Anat has written for The Atlantic, Huffington Post, Salon, the Christian Science Monitor, and the Boston Globe among other publications. Celinda Lake Celinda Lake is a prominent pollster and political strategist for Democrats and progressives. She currently serves as President of Lake Research Partners. Lake’s polling and strategic advice helped candidates such as Jon Tester, Donna Edwards, and Gov. Bob Wise defeat incumbents and her expertise guided Senator Mark Begich to victory, making him the first Senate candidate in Alaska to oust the incumbent in 50 years. She has focused on women candidates and women's concerns, having worked for Speaker Pelosi, Governor Janet Napolitano, and Senator Debbie Stabenow. Celinda worked for the largest independent expenditure to take back the House and has been a key player in campaigns launched by progressive groups such as the AFL- CIO, AFSCME, SEIU, Voter Participation Center, Sierra Club, Planned Parenthood, HRC, EMILY'S List and more. Additionally, she recently helped elect Annise Parker as the first openly gay mayor of a major US city. Lake co-authored the book What Women Really Want with Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway which examines the way women are changing the political landscape in America, and she also served as pollster for Senator Joe Biden's presidential bid. .

THE CARNEGIE ENDOWMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACE WASHINGTON, D.C. Transcript by: Federal News Service Washington, D.C. E.J. DIONNE: I want to welcome everyone here today. It’s a sign of our careful planning that we decided that the perfect day for a discussion of economic anxiety was Friday the 13th – (laughter) – and so it’s very good to have you all here. I think besides this group itself is how important the issues of economic anxiety and economic insecurity have become. But right near the beginning, I want to say two big thank yous, first to the Carnegie Endowment for letting us use this space. Over at Brookings, we are undergoing a renovation, and it’s a fine act of solidarity on Carnegie’s part to offer us this room. I want to thank Dan Conway of Carnegie for working on this. Secondly, I want to thank – I must thank Korin Davis, one of the most able and intelligent people at Brookings, for her exceptional work and perseverance in putting this event together. There are others who helped and I’m going to thank them in a second, but it is actually completely and entirely true in this case that without Korin this event would not have happened.

  • Federal Policy Briefing 2013
    Federal Policy Briefing 2013 Meet the Speakers Secretary Shaun Donovan (Keynote) U.S. Secretary, Housing and Urban Development His tenure as HUD Secretary has reflected his commitment to making quality housing possible for every American. Under Secretary Donovan’s leadership HUD has helped stabilize the housing market and worked to keep responsible families in their homes. The agency has instituted reforms that have solidified the Federal Housing Administration’s financial position and protected the taxpayer against risk, while still preserving FHA’s mission of providing responsible access to homeownership. Secretary Donovan has reaffirmed HUD’s commitment to building strong, sustainable, inclusive neighborhoods that are connected to education and jobs and provide access to opportunity for all Americans. In December 2012, President Obama signed an Executive Order creating the Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force and appointed Secretary Donovan as Chair. The Task Force is charged with creating a comprehensive regional plan, based on local vision for redevelopment, to guide long term disaster recovery efforts. Secretary Donovan previously served as Commissioner of the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). He created and implemented HPD's plan to build and preserve 165,000 affordable homes. Before his service as HPD Commissioner, Donovan worked in the private sector on financing affordable housing, and was a visiting scholar at New York University. He was also a consultant to the Millennial Housing Commission. Donovan rejoined HUD after his previous service in the Clinton administration as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Multifamily Housing. He also served as acting FHA Commissioner during the Clinton/Bush presidential transition.

    ALABAMA: GOVERNOR DON SIEGELMAN (D) vs. REP. BOB RILEY (R) DEMOCRAT REPUBLICAN Gov. Don Siegelman Rep. Bob Riley www.siegelman.com www.bobrileyforgovernor.com CM: Josh Hayes CM: Sam Daniels Press: Jim Andrews Press: Leland Whaley Media: Shorr & Assoc. Media: Alfano Productions Saul Shorr Kim Alfano Polls: Hickman Brown Polls: Market Research Institute Harrison Hickman Vern Kennedy Money Raised: $4.2 million (as of 9/30) Money Raised: $3.4 million (as of 9/30) Last Race (1998) Pop. Vote Vote % Don Siegelman (D) 760,155 58% Fob James (R) 554,746 42% Race Outlook: TOSS-UP Thanks to budget problems, an ethics investigation and charges that he’s funneled state contracts to friends and campaign donors, Gov. Don Siegelman is fighting to keep his job against Republican U.S. Rep. Bob Riley. Recent polls have consistently shown the two in a statistical dead heat, however, as recently as May, Siegelman was down 8 points to Riley. Clearly, this is not good for a first-term governor who won his last election by 16 points. A mid-September University of Alabama-Birmingham poll had Riley up 45-43% while an early September University of Southern Alabama poll showed Riley ahead 44-41%. Riley has hammered away at Siegelman’s ethics problems which include fees he’d received from his law firm while running the state (after an investigation, he was cleared) and giving state contracts to political cronies without bids from others. One of Riley’s ads boasts that he wants to “end corruption,” he’s “an honest leader,” and he kept his term-limits promise; another features an endorsement from his wife - Siegelman has stayed afloat by attacking his challenger on a variety of issues.
