Can the roots of today's political polarization be traced back to the wisdom of our founding fathers? Federalist Paper Number 10 by James Madison offers insights that resonate with the challenges we face in our current political landscape. Join host Charlie Jett on a historical exploration of Madison's arguments on factionalism and the importance of a unified government. Discover why Madison believed that factions, an inevitable part of human nature, could both endanger and enrich the fabric of democracy, and how a well-constructed federal system could temper their effects. In this episode of "Making of a Great America," you'll gain a deeper understanding of Madison's belief in the power of federalism and the critical checks and balances it provides. Madison's essay underscores the necessity of balancing diverse interests and maintaining a stable government, a message that holds powerful relevance today. As we unpack Madison's insights, we'll explore how his advocacy for a strong federal union acts as a safeguard against the tyranny of factions, and why his timeless arguments continue to influence the principles of governance in the United States. Sit back and immerse yourself in the enduring wisdom that shapes our nation. https://lnkd.in/eZVzzzBn

📣 Join Chief Network Weaver Julia Roig & Director for Race and Democracy Jarvis Williams at the upcoming conference at the Othering & Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley for the session they are leading with Míriam Juan-Torres González and Kazu Haga: “We are facing a moment in history that requires us to develop new organizing modalities. We have to come together to BLOCK the threats we are facing to our democratic values, we need to BRIDGE across differences to foster broad-based movements with the widest participation, and we have to BUILD together the future we want to live within our communities. In the quest to realize belonging for all, protect democracy, and combat authoritarian populism, movements have to be and do several things at once: how do we step into the many paradoxes of being both in resistance and restorative? How do we stay future-oriented and hopeful while acknowledging and redressing past and current harms? Can we reconcile the need for spaciousness to envision the future we want to create and act with the urgency that the current threats demand? Sometimes, as a result of these tensions movements break internally, instead of navigating and, at times, embracing these tensions to achieve higher shared goals. In this session, we will interrogate these seeming tensions (some of which are false binaries) and collectively investigate how we can wrestle – in practice – with those paradoxes, allowing us to move forward together with the broadest participation possible along many lines of difference.” See you in Oakland!! https://lnkd.in/er4S5mWj
