The System Listens When We Organize: Advocacy That Shifts Power

In our second episode of the season, titled The System Listens When We Organize, Jovan Agee shares his journey from a college internship to becoming a force in policy change. He reflects on his landmark win securing direct deposit for California’s domestic workers, his transition into health and breast cancer advocacy, and the importance of community power, political strategy, and holding leaders accountable.

A NOTE ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

An executive order from the current US administration has impacted federal employee unions. We weren't aware of this development until after Jovan's episode was recorded and edited. We've given him the opportunity update his statements regarding unions and he has the following to say:

Thank you for bringing to my attention the recent executive order impacting federal employee unions. This development does not, however, alter my stance on the importance of organizing. My discussion of unions in the interview serves as an example of a sophisticated organized political group, demonstrating a blueprint for influencing politics and policy that I believe warrants consideration.

It is important to clarify that my argument is not a defense or condemnation of unions themselves, but rather an emphasis on the strategic power of organized groups.

Thank you,

Jovan Agee
