Book Synopsis Struggles for Equal Voice by : Yuya Kiuchi
Download or read book Struggles for Equal Voice written by Yuya Kiuchi and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-10-15 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While previous scholarship on African Americans and the media has largely focused on issues such as stereotypes and program content, Struggles for Equal Voice reveals how African Americans have utilized access to cable television production and viewership as a significant step toward achieving empowerment during the post–Civil Rights and Black Power era. In this pioneering study of two metropolitan districts—Boston and Detroit—Yuya Kiuchi paints a rich and fascinating historical account of African Americans working with municipal offices, local politicians, cable service providers, and other interested parties to realize fair African American representation and media ownership. Their success provides a useful lesson of community organizing, image production, education, and grassroots political action that remains relevant and applicable even today.
Book Synopsis We Demand an Equal Voice by : Jasmine Stirling

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To coincide with the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, this nonfictionbook tells the inspiring story of Carrie Chapman Catt, who fought for women's suffrage. Out with the dour and stern. Out with the grim old gals. In with suffrage sundaes, good-looking girls flipping griddlecakes, ball games, boxing matches, sandwich boards, and socialites. By 1915, American women had been working for the vote for more than six decades. They had tried everything they could think of--speeches before Congress, petitions a mile long, elaborate ground campaigns, and even Supreme Court cases. But they hadn't seen what the invincible duo, Carrie Chapman Catt and her life partner, Mary "Mollie" Garrett Hay, could accomplish together. The suffrage movement was about to get a wake-up call. We Demand an Equal Voice follows Carrie's life from her earliest days as an Iowa farm girl through her growth as the nation's preeminent suffrage leader, a role for which she was handpicked by her mentor, Susan B. Anthony. Carrie's career hit its stride in 1915 when she and Mollie turned their fringe cause into a mass movement with a campaign that was bigger, more spectacular, more outrageous, and more, well . . . fun than any campaign, for any movement, in the history of the country, if not the world. This groundbreaking campaign propelled the movement forward through gripping twists and turns as Carrie attracted more than two million women from every color, class, and creed to the cause--ultimately demonstrating that when everyday people take everyday steps towards big, bold ideas, they can change the world.

Book Synopsis Equal Voice Voting by : Jerry Spriggs
Download or read book Equal Voice Voting written by Jerry Spriggs and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current U.S. presidential election process, known as the Electoral College, needs to be modified. Only a minority of our nation's voters are actually represented in the Electoral College in its current form. Because of the low voter representation, our citizens are not encouraged to vote; a state of apathy is prevalent in the very process designed to choose our nation's leader. Voters are discouraged and our democracy suffers. Something must change! Equal Voice Voting is a new presidential election method that modifies the Electoral College. Equal Voice Voting gives both the popular as well as the geographic representation needed to allow everyone an equal voice in our presidential elections. It eliminates the winner-take-all approach, giving every political party an opportunity to be represented in every presidential election. This book discusses other voting alternatives, such as the National Popular Voting bill and the option of relying on voting by congressional districts. This book shows how neither would improve voter representation and how voter apathy could still not improve. The Equal Voice Voting method is fully explained, including the simple math used to translate every state's popular vote into electoral votes. The method is simple and can foster greater voter turn-out because every voter can realize their vote counts! In fact, the Equal Voice Voting method gives good reason for every political party to rally their members to make their voices heard! The presidential elections from 1980 through 2012 are examined to show the lack of voter representation that was experienced during these nine elections using our current system. Those presidential elections are also compared to show what might have happened if Equal Voice Voting had been used. Media reporting is also considered. Four "what-if" scenarios are examined to show how the media could not rush to a conclusion of which candidate carried a given state during a presidential election if Equal Voice Voting were used. The four states span the four time zones as they collect and count their votes, revealing how final conclusions about candidate wins/losses cannot be determined prematurely. This book is intended to foster positive discussions around this important issue. Readers can use it as a resource to see how our presidential election history in recent elections has disenfranchised our voters. Readers can use it to see there is a better and simple way to modify our current Electoral College without the need to amend our Constitution. Readers can realize that a more representative government for our presidential elections is possible. Equal Voice Voting is for every voter in the United States. Everyone deserves to have their voices heard.
Download or read book Voice and Agency written by Jeni Klugman and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2014-09-29 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite recent advances in important aspects of the lives of girls and women, pervasive challenges remain. These challenges reflect widespread deprivations and constraints and include epidemic levels of gender-based violence and discriminatory laws and norms that prevent women from owning property, being educated, and making meaningful decisions about their own lives--such as whether and when to marry or have children. These often violate their most basic rights and are magnified and multiplied by poverty and lack of education. This groundbreaking book distills vast data and hundreds of studies to shed new light on deprivations and constraints facing the voice and agency of women and girls worldwide, and on the associated costs for individuals, families, communities, and global development. The volume presents major new findings about the patterns of constraints and overlapping deprivations and focuses on several areas key to women s empowerment: freedom from violence, sexual and reproductive health and rights, ownership of land and housing, and voice and collective action. It highlights promising reforms and interventions from around the world and lays out an urgent agenda for governments, civil society, development agencies, and other stakeholders, including a call for greater investment in data and knowledge to benchmark progress.

Book Synopsis Unequal and Unrepresented by : Kay Lehman Schlozman
Download or read book Unequal and Unrepresented written by Kay Lehman Schlozman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How American political participation is increasingly being shaped by citizens who wield more resources The Declaration of Independence proclaims equality as a foundational American value. However, Unequal and Unrepresented finds that political voice in America is not only unequal but also unrepresentative. Those who are well educated and affluent carry megaphones. The less privileged speak in a whisper. Relying on three decades of research and an enormous wealth of information about politically active individuals and organizations, Kay Schlozman, Henry Brady, and Sidney Verba offer a concise synthesis and update of their groundbreaking work on political participation. The authors consider the many ways that citizens in American democracy can influence public outcomes through political voice: by voting, getting involved in campaigns, communicating directly with public officials, participating online or offline, acting alone and in organizations, and investing their time and money. Socioeconomic imbalances characterize every form of political voice, but the advantage to the advantaged is especially pronounced when it comes to any form of political expression--for example, lobbying legislators or making campaign donations—that relies on money as an input. With those at the top of the ladder increasingly able to spend lavishly in politics, political action anchored in financial investment weighs ever more heavily in what public officials hear. Citing real-life examples and examining inequalities from multiple perspectives, Unequal and Unrepresented shows how disparities in political voice endanger American democracy today.
Book Synopsis The Equal Rights Amendment by : LeeAnne Gelletly
Download or read book The Equal Rights Amendment written by LeeAnne Gelletly and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It took decades, and a Constitutional amendment, for all American women to get the right to vote. But the legal right to vote did not guarantee equality under the law. Suffrage leader Alice Paul believed another amendment was needed. In 1923, she wrote the Equal Rights Amendment. It was introduced in Congress. And the national debate over the ERA began. The major principle of the Equal Rights Amendment is that gender should not determine any legal rights of citizens. Supporters believed the ERA would keep women from being denied equal rights under federal, state, or local law. The ERA had many opponents in the 1920s. And it had even more in the 1970s, after Congress passed the measure. Although it failed to pass by its 1982 ratification deadline, some people believe the ERA is still alive. They are continuing the effort to put equality for women in the U.S. Constitution.

Book Synopsis Democracy in America? by : Benjamin I. Page
Download or read book Democracy in America? written by Benjamin I. Page and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-04-02 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America faces daunting problems—stagnant wages, high health care costs, neglected schools, deteriorating public services. How did we get here? Through decades of dysfunctional government. In Democracy in America? veteran political observers Benjamin I. Page and Martin Gilens marshal an unprecedented array of evidence to show that while other countries have responded to a rapidly changing economy by helping people who’ve been left behind, the United States has failed to do so. Instead, we have actually exacerbated inequality, enriching corporations and the wealthy while leaving ordinary citizens to fend for themselves. What’s the solution? More democracy. More opportunities for citizens to shape what their government does. To repair our democracy, Page and Gilens argue, we must change the way we choose candidates and conduct our elections, reform our governing institutions, and curb the power of money in politics. By doing so, we can reduce polarization and gridlock, address pressing challenges, and enact policies that truly reflect the interests of average Americans. Updated with new information, this book lays out a set of proposals that would boost citizen participation, curb the power of money, and democratize the House and Senate.
