This week’s episode of the Legal Lens podcast features Nadine Smith, President and CEO of @colorofchange.
Our conversation covers the work of the organization in advocating in this current social and political climate with use of their “sand in the gears” strategy.
Using this strategy, they and other organizations around the country have quietly racked up wins against the current agenda, and what it means to organize Black people and other communities of color and disenfranchised communities in the digital age.
Nadine draws on her years of experience and advocacy in the state of Florida, including her work with Equality Florida, to discuss how local organizing, legal advocacy, and civic participation can influence public policy.
In this clip, she describes a “sand in the gears” approach: sustained action that challenges harmful proposals and requires decision-makers to account for their choices.
