For the past 18 years photojournalist Tish Lampert has
documented the ongoing, political and human rights
issues that have compelled Americans to stand up and
speak out. Her lens has captured the leading critical
social uprisings of our era. In an effort to inspire moral
consciousness and give voice to today's heroes on the
front-lines the America Speaks Podcast is born.
Global Threats and New Thinking With Jonathan Granoff
When will we come together as a global community to eliminate nuclear weapons? ...To stand behind the treaties signed to never use a nuclear weapon and create ways and means to reduce conflict and engagement in war? This epic conversation embraces freedom, and respect for one another, identifies ways for us to apply new ways of thinking to combat climate disruption and be steadfast to protect our oceans – we must believe and understand that change is possible- We must learn to respect the interests of others...we are in the middle of a moral fork in the road: what is most important today? -The rights of human beings over the rights of property.?..as Jonathan says "Love people use things; never love things and use people!" This episode is a vitamin for our soul. A true landmark episode!

We are here at a pivotal moment in the United States ... our democracy and our rights to our privacy and long time freedoms are at stake with the coming election of 2022
We seem to be so lost in how to understand where we are going ..i think today Jess brought us back down to earth and really spoke about solutions.
In my work in the last 25 years, I have had the opportunity to meet, protest, and to march with today’s generation of powerful young voices who will lead us out of this disappointing era of small-minded political radicalism and racism. There is a time-honored phrase I have heard since marching against the Vietnam War: We are the ones we have been waiting for “ and that phrase perfectly reflects our times. when I think of today's 18- 35 year vote.... – these past three episodes have brought together honest conversations about women's rights, the core values of privacy that must be returned to all women, and how we must protect the way of life we thought we had in America... I ask myself today: Are we still a democracy? we all know what is at stake and we know that our vote can reverse the government's control over our bodies, our lives, and our futures.
