Today is both a continuation and a new beginning for Philanthropy New York. Over the years, we have presented many programs on issues related to democratic participation and showcased the initiatives of funders who have supported both ground-level organizing and systematic reforms. As we all know, the conversations around the challenges to our democratic system did not begin with a single election. The flaws of our electoral systems, voter disenfranchisement and the long simmering erosion of public trust in government and media have been part of the American landscape for some time. While the diagnosis of what ails our democracy has been discussed for years, the enthusiasm and consensus around taking action has grown significantly since the last national election. Looking at how attitudes around race, gender, and immigration, to name some of the core issues, have combined with inadequate or erroneous knowledge, to influence our democracy is now a national conversation.

M.Hum. Master of Humanities Graduate Program, Wright State University, 2019. Classism, Ableism, and the Rise of Epistemic Injustice Against White, Working-Class Men. In this thesis, I set out to illustrate how epistemic injustice functions in this divide between white working-class men and the educated elite. I do this by discussing the discursive ways in which working-class knowledge and experience are devalued as legitimate sources of knowledge. I demonstrate this by using critical discourse analysis to interpret the underlying attitudes and ideologies in comments made by Clinton and Trump during their 2016 presidential campaigns. I also discuss how these ideologies are positively or negatively perceived by Trump’s working-class base. Using feminist standpoint theory and phenomenology as a lens of interpretation, I argue that white working-class men are increasingly alienated from progressive politics through classist and ableist rhetoric.

I am the brand new, or relatively brand new at this point, State Senator for Delaware's first State Senate District, which includes parts of our biggest city, Wilmington, all the way up to the Pennsylvania state line and the community of Claymont, where Joe Biden spent several years growing up. And I was born and raised in this district, my story, my journey really starts here in this community.
