    America's Declining Education System

    America's Declining Education System

    On this episode of Feudal Future, hosts Joel Kotkin and Marshall Toplansky are joined by former state senator, Gloria Romero, on the state of US education.

    A forceful advocate for education reform and parental school choice, former California State Senator Gloria Romero (D-East Los Angeles) is the Founder/Executive Director of Scholarship Prep Charter School located in Santa Ana, CA. A TK-8th grade charter school, Scholarship Prep was established as a countywide-benefit charter school with a strategic focus on closing the achievement gap for high poverty and foster youth using Project-based learning.

    Prior to establishing Scholarship Prep Charter School, Romero was elected to the 24th Senate District in 2001, representing East Los Angeles and the greater San Gabriel Valley. Upon her election she was recognized as one of the hardest working members of the Legislature and quickly rose in leadership positions. She was elected by her peers to serve as Senate Democratic Caucus Chair and as Senate Majority Leader the first woman to ever hold that leadership position in the history of the California State Senate. Prior to serving in the Senate, she held the post of Majority Whip in the California State Assembly from 1998-2000 and served on the Los Angeles Community College Board of Trustees from 1995-1998 and the Los Angeles Elected Charter Reform Commission in 1998. Additionally, she held the post of California Director of Democrats for Education Reform, a political action committee dedicated to making reforms in the Democratic Party.

    Finding Hope in Local Democracy

    Finding Hope in Local Democracy

    Local Democracy is where civil rights, your rights, either get defended... or they get destroyed. But turnout for local elections is terrible! Most people have no idea what a city council member, or a county supervisor, or a state senator even does - let alone the name of the person who represents them. But these small offices have huge power!

    Right now there is a concerted effort to take over these offices before people start paying attention and use them to destroy American democracy where it lives - at the local level. But also right now there are historic numbers of incredible, big-hearted and community-minded people running for all kinds of offices in every state in this union. Either way, whoever occupies these offices in the coming years are going to be in a position to make some major changes. What kind of changes those are is up to us... if we get involved. If we decide to care.

    This is a podcast on a quest. A quest to introduce you to some of the fantastic people running for and serving in offices all over the country. A quest to open your minds to the possibilities of a government that looks more like you, listens to you, and works to make things better for you for a change. 

    This is a podcast on a quest to make local representation sexy.

    S1E15: COVID-19 coronavirus in Wisconsin: Week two - the impact on state-wide unemployment

    S1E15: COVID-19 coronavirus in Wisconsin: Week two - the impact on state-wide unemployment

    Governor Tony Evers introduced the “safer at home” order in an effort to help slow the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus in Wisconsin. The order effectively closed a number of businesses across the state which were deemed “nonessential” and caused the number of unemployment claims in the state to skyrocket.  

    In this episode, state and politics reporter Mitchell Schmidt discusses the staggering number of unemployment claims filed during the pandemic and state lawmaker’s plans to deal with them.

    Episode 2: De Blasio’s Moon Shot Mission to Albany
    New York City is the center of the universe, at least we think so. But what if it turned out that the universe didn’t revolve around us but in fact we revolved around… Albany? If the Democrats finally retake the state Senate and the Empire State turns deep blue, everything changes for Mayor de Blasio. Or at least that's what he hopes. We talked with political science professor Jeanne Zaino and Working Families Party boss Bill Lipton about the high stakes in this year's elections, plus City Council Speaker Corey Johnson calls in to run down what he says Harry Siegel got wrong in episode one.

Now, he says, things have changed and he's trying to get back in the game as one of a group of Democrats running primaries against the former so-called "Independent Democrats" who've helped Republicans keep control of the state Senate.
